All implants settle with gravity, so don’t end up round anyway. If you have a small frame, this is why he will have recommended the hp also. I had high profile and they look lovely and natural xxx

UHP are OFFERED to ladies who have smaller ribs and breast width diameter due to the lower base width.
I have seen many examples of lovely looking natural boobs with UHP.

What size implants did you have in both?
The bigger implant may just be taking longer to drop into its pocket.
It can take up to a year for them to settle, and you usually see what your results will be like around 3 months.

Under the muscle is a longer recovery process, but i’ve read that there is less chance of sagging. Both can achieve the natural look.
And the consultants are supposed to match you up to whichever surgeon they think is best suited to what you want/ timeframes/ etc xxx
