WORTH IT$7,300
Im finally doing something I've wanted my whole life and can't believe it's 12 days away. I'm 5'10", 145 lbs, small B. I'm getting 450cc under the muscle with no pain meds and awake. I have found so much help here and need the continued support. I went to the consultation where I decided on 425cc. Afret the pre op appointment I decided to go with 450cc. The girls at the office were awesome with suggestions and showed me what it will look like since it's under the muscle. They recommend to go bigger since "boob envy" is sometimes an issue. I've always told my boyfriend that 100 cc would even do the trick...haha!. That just shows my desperation to have larger boobies! I'm so mixed with emotions mostly because I'm so nervous. All the help I can get would be awesome!!

Good luck on your surgery. My BA is 9/8 and I'm getting 397/371 silicone under muscle. I feel mostly excited but do get feelings of anxiety about the pain and going under....mostly at bed time when my mins has a chance to wander a bit. I'll be hoping you have a smooth recovery!
September 3, 2014
Good luck to you too!! I hear you about the mind wandering. I'm at my most anxious in the morning. I'm better as the day goes on. I can't wait to see your results and really hope all goes well for you!!!

The different projection (perkiness) are either low, moderate, moderate plus and high. So the perkiest with the most upper pole is the high profile. But also the width of the implants are different from my understanding too... A moderate profile gives more width as well as projection with more of upper pole slope. Whereas high profile gives full upper roundness projection and is a narrower implant, so less side boob or bottom width. And a low profile gives a more pancake low projection look with lots of volume/width in the lower pole.
I think that's how they go lol
I'm getting anatomical (teardrop) moderate projection textured silicone under the muscle.

I Can't believe it's almost here. I talked to the surgery center yesterday about when to be there...9 am. I'm having more excitement now that it's pretty close, just some anxiety in the morning. I feel better every time I talk to the staff and stay away from the internet. I found out I'm getting moderate silicone implants. I see many of you got high profile. Does anyone know the difference? ?

Hello sweetheart,
the difference is in projection; Mod Plus( • ) ( • ) isn't flat like the older implants
( • ) ( • ) , then u have HP & the aren't as round ( •) ( •) they're taller when they are laying on a flat surface. I hope that helps sorry it's not better. So that's the basic difference. I'm glad you're staying off the Internet if ithe causes anxiety, sometimes we get information overload! Praying u have a wonderful results & I look forward to seeing how your journey progresses!
September 5, 2014
Thank you!! Ok, so is there a difference between mod and mod plus? Is one better than the other? Dr. Said mod is what I am getting and good for me...let's hope so. 5 more days...yikes!!

You're welcome, I personally liked the Moderate plus because it's not as flat & round. It is a little bit smaller around & stands up more when the implant is laying flat on a table. If you're wanting your breasts to touch closer together & look fuller with some hourglass side breasts as well, the moderate will probably give you that look. I really think you should see if you can find a video.
If you've communicated with your PS what your goals & the PS feels like this will give u the best result, I would trust my PS. I was able to look at all of the different types of breast implants & decided what one I liked best. Every doctor is different. I wish u the best luck & a speedy recovery!

My PS only showed me silicone and saline. The HP was there but right away showed me the mod. I am really narrow and think they are going to look too flat and round. I guess I need to trust him. Did you call your surgeon before surgery at all?
September 7, 2014
Hi ke822. I felt the same way about picking my implants. I was panicking at the end. I was always leaning towards moderate profile, even tear drop implants. I have extremely narrow BWD 10.5 cm if. we are limited with choosing implants. higher volume in cc has wider implants at the bottom, it did not fit me. So my surgeon a week before surgery called me and said for my body type if I want more volume we have to go with HP profile implants. HP profile are more narrow. I always thought that HP implants look to fake, but not on me. I even have some cleavage ..haha.....I just trusted my surgeon and I am very happy with my results. Call your surgeon if you have questions..do not hesitate....good luck.
September 7, 2014
He measured me twice and decided on moderate so I guess I should just trust him. I still don't know though. He said he may not be able to fit 450 but 425 or 400 should definitely go in. I also don't want to stretch too far since I can't take the pain meds. I'm still going to call tomorrow and ask again. I can't believe it's this week....I'm have driven myself crazy!!! Thanks for all your help!!!!
September 7, 2014
you will look awesome, moderate sounds good........
I went trough the same thing as you..............very confused, also getting HP completely through me off the track, I was avoiding HP implants...........but now........................when all is done and I feel more comfortable, I am very happy I did it!..... it's great feeling I am feeling now, soon you will experience it to.
September 7, 2014
You are right...I keep forgetting how badly I want this becauseim so scared. I really am glad you are keeping up with the posts..I look forward to it through out the day.
September 7, 2014
I honestly know how you feel, I swear I experienced the same thing. Stop thinking about surgery, do something else.....go out...it's beautiful day in Jersey. And when Thursday comes, just do it.................. have a nice day!
September 8, 2014
Yes, I did. I called & they saw me 10 says before surgery, because my PS doesn't see you at the pre op appointment. So if you have questions I would call. I also adressed questions the morning of my surgery. So make sure u communicate communicate communicate because u can't change something after your surgery has happened.
September 8, 2014
It's so important to trust your PS especially if they are good & have a good reputation! I made sure to ask my PS if he guaranteed his work & if he would fix my breasts if they didn't look right. Best of luck sweetheart

I saw him at my pre op but that was 2 weeks ago and seemed so quick. I am going to wait and do it the morning of so I can show him pics. I just thought we would have done that. He is a very good surgeon and I do trust what he does. I think that there's so much time in between booking, pre op and surgery that I forgot a few things he said. I was also focused on just wanting to do it so badly and didn't have questions until later. Thanks again!!!
September 8, 2014
It's hard to remember everything that they say. I'm so excited for you... I look forward to hearing how it goes. You're welcome sweetheart :)
September 7, 2014
Good luck this week! Here is a helpful list of recovery items you may want to have on hand prior to your surgery. I think you look great in your picture with your sizers on. If you have the opportunity, share a few wish boob pictures with your doctor to help ease your mind. ;)
September 9, 2014
I need your opinion Beth...I can't take the pain meds because I take an opiate blocker. It acts as a pain killer as well, in higher doses. I also have flexeril and tylenol. Will that keep me somewhat ok?
September 11, 2014
Definitely discuss with your doctor and perhaps primary doctor. You can also pose your question to the RealSelf Doctor Q&A and get several doctors responses quickly. Good luck today and I'll be praying for minimal pain during your recovery!
September 8, 2014
I believe that Mod Plus has a bit more projection than the moderate. I'm sure you will look so beautiful. You are a lovely girl. Hang in there and don't forget to post after pics.
September 8, 2014
Mod plus does have more projection than mod & high Profile has the biggest projection of all of the Silicone implants :) at least the ones made by Mentor :)
September 8, 2014
I am getting mod plus. I called him today to check. I'm pretty calm right now...just can't believe it's almost here. I feel like im in the twilight zone. I can wait to be on the other side!!. Thanks ladies!!
September 9, 2014
Hi ke822. Good luck with your surgery on Thursday. You will be fine. you will look awesome with mod profile 450cc.
September 10, 2014
Yep, it does. Mod is flater like a pancake, mod plus has more projection than regular mod & HP is smaller around & projects further out. :)
September 10, 2014
That's such a good analogy, the twilight zone! I really like that.... the next few days will suck, but it's nothing that your pain meds, resting, icing & not over over doing it won't help. :) you've got this!
September 9, 2014
Good luck and I am excited to see your results. Just keep breathing and think positively! :) In no time you will be curvy on top!
September 10, 2014
Breath deep & take your pain meds before u are in pain. U won't be able to get it under control if u don't stay on top of it. Sometimes they inject a numbing medication into your breasts, so the really bad pain comes a little later... Prayers, positive vibes & healing thoughts surrounding u love!
September 9, 2014
I'm exited to see your results I go in a day later hen your and I'm getting 475cc so far I'm also a B cup and I am wondering about the high/moderate/low profile too trying to make the best choice
September 9, 2014
From what I understand mod plus gives more cleavage and side boob. That's what my dr. Said...we shall see. Holy shhh..1 more full day.
September 9, 2014
What are you getting? The moderate high? I'm trying to avoid the sticking out, but I want some cleavage.
September 10, 2014
Exactly, HP gives more projection! You're going to look amazing! You've got this sweetheart & I can't wait to see your final results!
September 10, 2014
I'm getting mod plus 425 or 450cc. The doc said HP sometimes look like footballs on my body type.
September 10, 2014
That's what I want moderate plus saline unders 375 filled to 400 or 425. I gotta see what the doc says. Well I'll soon find out.
