GUYS, I've never wanted something more in my LIFE. I sent my left stuffing bras and eagerly waiting for my boob growth spurt to happen. IT NEVER DID. Unfortunately, the older I got, the SMALLER boobs would get. I fluctuated between a full 32C to suddenly shrinking down to a 32A/B when I turned 23. It honestly was super upsetting, as I don't want to wait anymore! I knew from looking at my boobs that if I ever had kids, I would most likely suffer from "pancake boobs", so I didn't want to wait and find out. I pulled the trigger this year, and found Dr. Li's office as a friend recommended him. The more I looked into his work, the more I absolutely knew he would give me the style of boobs I want. I was always envious of natural, plump breasts, so I made it clear that anything that was too much may not work well for me.
I met Dr. Li mid-September, and he showed me my MANY options! After trying on high profile, I knew that it wouldn't give me my desired shape and look. Although high profile looks great on so many women, I have an extremely flat chest wall with my boobs mostly being near my armpits. I didn't want a look where you could SEE the implant. Upon discussion, we decided a wider implant would look better on me to achieve that fullness that I lack towards my chest wall. We at first chose a Moderate 410CC Silicone Gummy Bear Implant from Sientra, and booked my surgical date to September 30th!
As my surgical date neared, I became a bit paranoid that the moderate implant may give me a pancake boob look (I'm obviously extremely scared of pancake boobs lol) so I urgently called Tina to see if I could come in to try on implants ONEEEE MORE TIME! And they accommodated me and helped me soooooo SOOOO MUCH!! I was terrified that I was being an annoying patient, but they were SO understanding. After testing the Moderate Plus, we decided to switch to that profile to give me that upper-pole fullness without it being too excessive for my chest wall! Tina also laid out the numbers for me so we could compare centimeters in width and the Moderate Plus made SO MUCH more sense.
Another great thing to mention is that Sientra implants are definitely a different shape than other brands, and contain a lot more fullness. The moderate plus in Sientra was WAYYYY different than the others. I appreciated all the clarification and knowledge I got from meeting with Dr. Li and Tina. It has been SUCH a pleasant experience.
Today is my operation day! It went SO smoothly, and Dr. Li mapped out my breast incision and placement well. We discussed how one of my breasts sits higher than the other, and how we can navigate around creating the most symmetry we can. He gave me the option of whether we could go with perfectly symmetrical implant placement and assymetrical nipples- OR, slightly asymmetric implant placement with perfect nipples. I decided to go with having perfect nipple placement, because I feel like that would be less noticeable and also more natural. We also went UNDER the muscle and the incision was right at the crease.
Although I was nauseated after waking up and the pain has been pretty constant, I LOVE MY BOOBS!!!!!!
I think we went with the most perfect fit for me, I can barely even notice the natural asymmetry, and I'm SOOOOO excited for them to drop and settle. Post-op is tomorrow, and I'll keep everyone updated on my healing process for the next few weeks/months!!

Every brand has its benefits, as some fluff more than others. Like I went with Mentor MemoryGel Mod+ 500cc, they were an overfilled gel. I was told the office sample implants (not to be confused w/sizers) aren't a true representation bc they are handled a lot, stretched, and old so they may not look as full as others. Glad I didn't go with my 1st consult as he wanted to use Natrelle and most ladies I know that have them ripple. I also believe it's based on PS preference too. Anyway, Mod+ are the best of both worlds when it comes to width and projection. As you d&f your cleavage area should fill in some. BA only enhances our current breasts and can not change our anatomy but sometimes using wider implants help fill the cleavage gap. Continue to post updates when you can. Happy continued healing dear.

omg i’m healing so well! so thankful and happy that the process has been smooth! i’ve weaned off of my norcos and am taking advil’s now. still taking muscle relaxants just to help with the slight spasms. i also have some bruising on my sternum. another thing i noticed is when i raise my right arm, sometimes i hear a “boob fart” noise LMAOOOO. Kind of like the implant squeaking. it may be an air bubble or something. but other than that, i feel amazing and am so excited to go out and show my new babies off!

DAY 5! settling in beautifully !

i’m so happy i went with 415 in sis tea - you guys have NO IDEA. they’re beginning to settle and they’re looking more and more natural, but fake at the same time, which is what i want! lmao. i want to keep everyone guessing ! pain is also so much more bearable. i have more movement- just that general tightness is still there from them being under the muscle but the diazepam helps!
