Visual Comparison

SIDE PROFILE VIEW
Visual representations are illustrative only. Actual results vary by individual anatomy, tissue characteristics, and surgical technique. Always consult your surgeon.
Patient Context
Profile Guide
Low Profile
Widest base, minimal forward projection. Natural appearance. Best for wider chest frames with a large gap between breasts.
Moderate / Moderate Plus
Most popular choice. Balanced projection and base width. Natural fullness for average chest frames. Moderate Plus adds a little more forward projection.
High Profile
Narrower base, more forward projection. Rounder shape, fuller upper pole. Ideal for narrow chest walls and patients wanting significant volume.
Ultra High Profile
Narrowest base, maximum projection. Most dramatic result. Suited to very narrow chest walls or patients wanting a bold, prominent look.

Pre-Surgery Weight Loss Tips
Aim for 1–2 lbs (0.5–1 kg) per week — the rate endorsed by Mayo Clinic, NHS, and NIH as safe and sustainable without muscle loss.
Reach your target weight and maintain it for at least 3–6 months before surgery. Stable weight produces significantly better and longer-lasting results.
Avoid crash dieting. Losing more than 1.5 kg/week risks muscle loss, nutritional deficiency, and metabolic slowdown — all of which impair surgical recovery.
For body contouring procedures (tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL), visceral fat cannot be removed surgically — only diet and exercise can reduce it. A flat result depends on low visceral fat regardless of BMI.
A BMI under 30 reduces anesthesia risk, wound healing complications, infection rates, and likelihood of revision surgery across all procedure categories.
BMI is a screening tool, not a definitive measure of surgical eligibility. Individual health history, comorbidities, body composition, and surgeon assessment all contribute to the final decision. These thresholds reflect published consensus guidelines from ASPS and board-certified plastic surgeons; individual practice policies may vary. Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for a personalised evaluation.
