South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery

When most people think about breast implants, the first thing that comes to mind is size—how many CCs, how big, how dramatic. But what’s equally important (if not more) is implant profile: how far the implant projects from the chest wall, and how that projection influences your final look.

At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we use Natrelle® implants, one of the most trusted and innovative implant lines in the industry, to deliver stunning, personalized results. Natrelle’s® collection includes a wide range of profile options—from low to ultra full—so our surgeons can customize the projection, width, and silhouette to your unique anatomy and goals.

Whether you’re seeking a soft, natural contour or bold upper-pole fullness, understanding implant profiles will help you make a more confident, informed decision.

Implant profile refers to how far the implant projects from your chest wall when viewed from the side. It’s determined by the ratio of the implant’s base width to its forward projection.

• Low-profile implants sit closer to the body and offer a flatter shape.
• Moderate and full profiles create a natural, rounded look.
• Extra full and ultra full profiles provide dramatic forward projection with enhanced cleavage and upper pole fullness.

Even if two implants have the same volume (in CCs), their profile can drastically alter the aesthetic outcome. That’s why profile selection is one of the most critical decisions you’ll make during your breast augmentation consultation.

At South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our surgeons work with Natrelle® INSPIRA implants, which offer five profile options to ensure optimal results for every patient:

1. Low Profile

• Projection: Minimal
• Base Width: Broad
• Look: Soft, subtle enhancement

Best for:

• Patients with wide chest frames
• Those seeking understated volume
• Athletic individuals who want minimal fullness up top

Pros:

• Natural teardrop appearance
• Ideal for blending with broad anatomical structure
• Great for patients looking for gentle enhancement

2. Moderate Profile

• Projection: Balanced
• Base Width: Medium
• Look: Natural but visible improvement

Best for:

• Patients with average chest width
• Those who want a soft, proportionate enhancement
• Individuals who want versatility and long-term comfort

Pros:

• Adaptable to many body types
• Maintains a natural slope
• Provides a noticeable but subtle result

Cons:

• May lack dramatic cleavage or roundness for those who want it
• Less bold than full or extra full profiles

3. Full Profile

• Projection: Enhanced
• Base Width: Narrower than moderate
• Look: Voluminous, youthful shape

Best for:

• Women with narrow chest frames
• Patients looking for a rounder, lifted result
• Those wanting noticeable projection without going ultra dramatic

Pros:

• Beautiful upper pole fullness
• More lift and curve without sacrificing proportion
• Great for glamour without overdoing it

Cons:

• May look too full on patients with broader chests
• Can highlight asymmetries if not properly placed

4. Extra Full Profile

• Projection: Higher than full
• Base Width: Narrower base
• Look: Bolder, rounder silhouette

Best for:

• Petite patients seeking maximum impact
• Women who want more cleavage and top volume
• Revisions or replacements for patients looking to upsize

Pros:

• High projection with firm upper fullness
• Great for dramatic transformations
• Often used in influencer-style aesthetics

Cons:

• May appear artificial on wider frames
• Less natural slope depending on chest shape

5. Ultra Full Profile

• Projection: Most dramatic option
• Base Width: Smallest
• Look: Maximum roundness and lift

Best for:

• Petite or very narrow patients
• Those seeking bold, high-glamour results
• Enhancements where lateral fullness is to be avoided

Pros:

• Creates eye-catching projection
• Perfect for high-definition cleavage
• Offers significant visual change without excessive CCs

Cons:

• Can look less natural
• Not ideal for subtle or conservative goals

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to breast augmentation—and that’s especially true when it comes to implant profile. Our surgeons evaluate several key factors before recommending the right profile for you:

• Chest width – Determines how much base width is needed for proportion
• Skin and tissue – Thinner tissue may benefit from smoother profiles
• Lifestyle – Athletes may avoid ultra-full projections
• Desired look – Natural, glam, minimal, or bold—all can be achieved with the right match
• Existing breast volume – Helps determine how much projection is necessary

Let’s be clear: more CCs ≠ more fullness. That’s a common misconception.

Here’s why:

• A 350cc low-profile implant will look wider and flatter.
• A 350cc ultra full implant will look narrower but project dramatically forward.

That’s why your best result comes not just from choosing the right size—but matching it with the right profile for your anatomy.

You can’t mix profiles within a single procedure, but you can switch implant profiles during a revision if your goals change.

For example:

• A patient who starts with full profile may later downsize to moderate after lifestyle changes or preferences shift.
• Another may upgrade to extra full for a bolder look after having children or following weight loss.

Implant profile is adjustable during revision surgeries, and our surgeons at South Florida Center specialize in helping you evolve with confidence over time.

At our center, we’ve chosen Natrelle® INSPIRA as our primary breast implant provider because of their reputation for quality, safety, and variety. Their extensive selection of profiles and shell types allow us to tailor results for each unique patient—whether your goal is subtle or standout.

Additionally, Natrelle implants are:

• FDA-approved
• Available in smooth or textured surfaces
• Offer advanced gel cohesiveness for natural feel and shape retention
• Supported by a limited warranty program

Breast implant profile is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on your aesthetic journey. It determines how the implant will sit, how dramatic your results will appear, and how well the outcome fits your body.

At South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our surgeons take time to educate, listen, and guide you through every step—from profile selection to recovery.

Let’s recap the profiles we use with Natrelle®:

• Low Profile: Soft, subtle volume for wide chests
• Moderate Profile: Balanced, natural enhancement
• Full Profile: Noticeable curves and lift
• Extra Full Profile: Bold and voluminous
• Ultra Full Profile: Maximum projection and drama

With expert guidance and premium implant options, you can feel confident that you’re choosing the right shape, profile, and size to match your lifestyle, goals, and vision
