Breast implants showing different profiles

Projection is the third key measurement alongside volume and width. It is what makes the difference between a flat, natural enhancement and a fuller, more rounded look.

How projection is set

For a fixed base width, manufacturers offer profiles from moderate (less projection) to extra high (most projection). Choosing a higher profile pushes the same volume further forward.

Matching projection to you

  • Narrow chest, want fullness → higher profile fits the frame.
  • Broad chest, want natural → moderate profile spreads volume.
  • Thin tissue → very high projection can increase edge visibility and rippling.

See projection explained and the width guide for the full picture.
