230/250cc mod profile implants

WORTH IT$5,000
I have been wanting larger breasts for over 15 years and the stars have finally aligned with where I feel mentally, physically, and financially. My stats are: 29 yr female, 5"3, 109lbs. I chose 230/250cc mod (sientra). My options were between 230/250cc mod profile and 280/300hp. I was in agony over picking the size and found a lot of comfort in the RealSelf community. It was a challenge to find reviews of people going under 300cc so I wanted to share my journey to help those in the same boat.
My surgeon is absolutely amazing and I knew this was a very personal choice only I could make. It was a matter of erring on the side of smaller or larger. After going back and forth numerous times, I ultimately chose the smaller of the two options. I liked the look of the moderate profile implants on my body. I am very active and a distance runner and feel the 230/250 cc will be perfect. I don't think I will have boob greed but we will see. I type this as I am hooked up to my IV waiting for surgery. Stay tuned on my journey!

Day 1 post op
Exuberant758453April 1, 2022
Day one post op was better than I could have ever imagined! I was completely surprised with how calm I was going in, not nervous at all but feeling excited and at peace. I think a lot of this was due to the incredible surgeon and surgery team I had who helped me with any questions I had and gave me loving support. When choosing your surgeon I highly recommend doing your research and finding someone you trust.
I ate some crackers and applesauce on the way home from surgery because I was starving. I was surprised at how much of an appetite I had. It is now the morning of day 2 and I've felt no pain whatsoever, just a little pressure and minor discomfort. I can't even feel my incisions at all but they will also remain tapped for 1 week until my first post op appointment. I'd say my uncomfortableness is a 2 out of 10. I can't really get out of bed without the help of my boyfriend nor can I open jars or push down on the soap dispenser. I've been switching between Valium & Vicodin every 3-4 hours but am hoping to ween off that today. I totally woke up with morning boob. They feel hard and stiff but I am so so in love with them already and have no regrets! I think I'm going to love the 230/250 cc once the swelling goes down! I wanted something to make me feel sexy naked and in a bikini but also a size I could hide in clothes! I would say so far goal achieved!

Looking great so far!! Was there a reason you and your PS skipped the moderate profile size?
April 2, 2022
I wanted moderate profile plus! My breast width was very small- 11.3 for one and a little smaller for the other, I can't exactly remember. He thought that getting as close as possible to my breast width would give me the best results. If mod plus would have worked for me I likely would have chosen that! The projection difference is really sooo minimal between mod and mod plus, only a few mm.

Congrats! The size fits you perfectly and will only get better with time :)

Can you tell me who the doctor is and how they were put in was it under the breast or armpit?

Another question babe, did you get injections into breast with local anesthesia? I heard it helps with post op pain… i can’t wait for my surgery but also im super scared of anesthesia and pain… and btw did you get IV sedation or general anesthesia ? Thank you in advance!

I got an IV sedation and local anesthesia- unsure if it was injected into the breasts or not. Apparently I walked out of the OR but I have no recollection lol. Seriously this will not be painful at all. I had no pain! Only a little tightness.

Day 2 done!
Exuberant758453April 2, 2022
Writing this the morning of day 3! Day two was great. I am feeling so grateful for how well this recovery process has been. All the anticipation I worked up in my head was by far the worst part. I can't even feel my incisions and only very mild discomfort. I could have showered yesterday but I was feeling lazy so I didn't. I took a long nap, lounged around the house, took a walk around the block with my boyfriend and we cooked dinner together. I can lift my hands over my head and put clothes on by myself- I have been able to do this since day one but now I have really no soreness. My left boob (the one that got 250cc) is still a bit harder and sitting higher but this is normal as they will heal at different rates. The right boob already feels more squishy and is beginning to drop more! I hear some sloshing/ gurgling which my surgeon said is completely normal. I took a Valium in the morning but then only ibuprofen during the day. I did take some more Valium in the middle of the night as I have a hard time sleeping up right. Wearing the band for most of the day as recommended by the doctor. It is uncomfortable but I keep reminding myself it is worth it to help the girls settle into a nice shape. So far I am so in love with them and feeling much gratitude for my body's ability to heal!
