Is the ideal implant high profile?

Hamas and colleagues have been able to produce a saline-filled device that feels less like a traditional saline implant and more like a silicone gel implant. The Ideal implant is similar in base diameter and projection to high-profile implants available from the other three FDA-approved implant manufacturers.

Why do my implants look so high?

After surgery, smooth, round silicone and saline breast implants are temporarily flattened by the tight pectoralis muscle, which causes the implants to rise into a higher position on the chest wall. Once the muscles relax, the implants “drop” into position and the breasts “fluff” out in shape.

Whether one profile looks more natural on you or not depends in part on your body type and the natural shape of your breasts.

How do you fix breast implants that are too high?
