    We derive several functional forms of isoperimetric inequalities, in the case of concave isoperimetric profile. In particular, we answer the question of a canonical and sharp functional form of the Lévy-Schmidt theorem on spheres. We use these results to derive a comparison theorem for product measures: the isoperimetric function of \(\mu_1 \otimes\cdots\otimes \mu_n\) is bounded from below in terms of the isoperimetric functions of \(\mu_1, \ldots, \mu_n\). We apply this to measures with finite-dimensional isoperimetric behaviors. All the previous estimates can be improved when uniform enlargement is considered.
