Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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 size appt today
Less than a month until surgery! I I am freaking out!! Excited and nervous. Very nervous. I’ve never been put under anesthesia and am a wuss when it comes to pain so recovery is daunting. I’m ready to get it over with but wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving.
I’ve been reading so many RealSelf journeys, my fiancé is like “plz don’t show me another set of freshly augmented boobs” (he thinks they looks crazy, which they do lol) I swear I’ve seen a thousand boobs at this point. I was so anxious for my size appt today bc I had to sign off on what I wanted and I didn’t know…. Was I willing to go less on the CC to stay moderate or just accept the extra 0.6 cm and go high profile?? I’ve been analyzing the charts obsessively the past few weeks, comparing reviews with myself and the size and profiles others have gotten and what it may look like on me. It’s all consuming. I don’t want to have boob greed and wish I had gone bigger but I also don’t want them to be huge and hate them (not that I would hate if they were bigger lol just looking for a natural C cup and don’t want DD)
So I was between the Natrelle smooth round 265 or 295 SRF (Natrelle has 3 types of gummy bear implants, responsive/ Inspra, soft touch, and cohesive.I’ve attached a pic that explains better than I can type) everyone always says to go up a size so I’m going 295! I’m also happy that I have the “least” cohesive since I don’t want a ton of upper pole fullness, this protein type should help them fall and look more natural. Fingers crossed. Going under the muscle through the areola.
Have my pre op appt Wednesday. I live in a rural part of my state and the doc comes twice a month for consultations and does surgeries in the city. 2 hour drive. One of the ladies here made an amazing list of questions to ask, will add her name in the comments. Will report back soon!!

Consultation recap
Met w Dr. Powell yesterday! After my examination he suggested SRF ( smooth, round, full profile) cohesive silicone implants, under the muscle, through the areola. I mentioned I was thinking moderate profile but he explained that since I have a narrow frame the moderate profile is a wider diameter and won’t give me the optimal results.
I tried on 265 cc (which I liked!) 300 cc (didn’t mind but they only had 1 sized so no pics) 340 cc (waaaaay to big)
Excited to move forward and schedule my procedure and pre op so we can really hammer down which size to go with.
