How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Final Considerations on Size, Complications, Finances. Before Photo.
Update:I have had a few different consultations. I was hoping they would give me clarity on what I wanted but I received different measurements and recommendations from each PS. my measurements ranged from 11cm to 13cm and 275-400ccs. I am leaning towards the more conservative PS. He explained that my beast has the width to hold a larger implant but from bottom to top I only have 11cm or else I get pretty close to my collar bone. (I am 5'1 and my torso is short so he doesn't rec lowering the fold.)
In the meantime I will be racking my brains on whether 315cc or 335cc is the way to goIn the long run I do not want the implants to effect my ability to work out. I know lots of girls with implants that crossfit etc. but its still a worry in the back of my mind. One surgeon even said "I you like working out and lifting weights why do you even want to do this?" That statement is weighing on me a bit.Some images of the capsular contracture have really freaked me out. Especially because we don't really know the true causes. I was also told that you can develop it later on in life if you have an infection..even a tooth infection! I definitely want to get them and forget them and I really sympathize with the woman here that have to go back for many revisions.(small financial rant- because I have been looking it up myself)
I am including this because it really is a part of the decision process:
I have 50% saved up for the surgery.. I think I would put the rest on a credit credit and use my end of year bonus to finish paying for them. -- I am a financial worry wart so justifying such a big spend on myself is another huge dilemma. I live on a big city where things are expensive and I feel more comfortable having my savings for the unknown. Moving apartments is usually first/ last / security/ realtor fee.. and I would be using my savings for this instead -- I also realize theres no difference between paying for them now or later. I am 24 so I want to have them while I am young! That being said I do have student loans to repay.

Rice Sizers
Okay.. so I followed the instructions on rice sizers for Sientra implantsThe photos are from 350cc and that equals 12oz of rice /1.5 cups for 355cc.Im considering moderate plus / HP so I used a slightly more dense panty hose... When ever I look at photos of other girls my H and W I think the 350-400 looks great but I typically feel like they're just ginormous on me.. Thoughts?Everyone seems to wish they went bigger/ suggest choosing a bigger size. But what about if you are athletic?Reminder: My PS reccomends 315cc I might post photos of that as well.
Wish PIcs
PS recommends 315cc. I don't think that would get me close to my wish pics. THis is my second consult, and I guess I just wasn't expecting him to recommend such a small size. I was all ready having a hard time deciding between 350-400ccs and it was disappointing to hear that the diameter of my breast 11.5 and 12cm would limit my choices. Not sure what to do here. I think Ill call back tomorrow to confirm whether or not that was a flexible recommendation or if he wont consider doing the 350/ 375cc I am considering.
