Mentor Moderate (low) not moderate plus? I want a cute boost that says "I'm a woman". What are your thoughts?

Question

I have a 15CM Bwd on both sides, I wear a 36A, I'm a woman of transsexual experience, 6 feet tall, and am scheduled to have my breast done soon. When I had my consultation and was measured, I was suggested 450CC Mentor moderate plus. After doing more research, I believe 400-450 Low moderate with mentor would fit me better. I'm not looking to have big breast because I'm tall and don't want to be out of balance. I want a cute boost that says "I'm a woman". What are your thoughts?

450ccM+ would be my suggestion to you. The Moderate just seems to be too flat once my patients are healed and they seem to always long for a little more projection (even my patients who want "smaller more natural" yet womanly breasts).I genuinely encourage you to stick with the moderate plus.Good luck on your journey!

Hello Kanay,
Photos would be helpful to answer the question more specifically as depending on the thickness and tightness of the tissue you already have the result will differ and so you may want to repost with photos.  
My impression from what you have written is that you do not have much breast tissue (A cup) and so the moderate implant may not give you quite enough projection to give the cute boost, you may need the moderate plus.
I recommend you try on sizers of both implants to be sure the moderate will be enough.
All the best to you,
Dr. Nancy de Kleer

The difference between the Moderate and moderate plus is minimal.  You would do well with either.  I have found on taller transsexual patients that I err towards a flatter (wider-moderate) implant and usually go a bit larger than I thought due to the overly developed pectoralis muscles.  
A 450cc moderate or moderate plus should give you what you are looking for.
Best wishes.
