Set to Get 280cc Sientra LOW Profile

WORTH IT$7,500
My surgery is in 9 days and I can’t wait! I’ve been waffling between low profile and mod profile but have decided to do low profile. At my pre-op Appt. We had settled on 280cc low profile. I am part of the Bustmob community on Facebook and while I love it there- I spent way too much time comparing and questioning my choice. This led me to being almost sure that I was going to get 320cc mod profile. My main goal through this was to fill out my swimsuit and bra tops and to not have to wear cutlets to fill out a bra. I never wanted large boobs. My main fear in all of this was that my boobs would end up too big and get in the way of my everyday life and be too obvious. I have 3 kids and I am pretty modest so I didn’t want them big. I’m completely flat currently but I got to experience boobs when I breastfed each of my 3 kids. I loved having boobs but those were very dense and large. I wanted a bit smaller for my implants. I’m so excited and confident about my choice! I wanted to share my journey here because it was VERY difficult to find other people with low profile implants. There was one or two on Bustmob and then I was able to find about 4 here on Real Self. It was extremely helpful for me to see low profile implants on other people. My bwd is 13 and I am 5’7” 120 lbs. 38 years old. Currently totally flat- like zero boob.

If you're getting the smaller 280cc I would get mod profile. If you go with low profile 320cc would be a better option. But that's just my opinion. You have to be happy with them yourself. Good luck! I think you'll love them either way!

It’s more about my breast base width diameter, than about the cc’s. A 320cc low profile implant is too wide for my breast pocket. A 280cc mod profile is too narrow for my breast pocket. The base width of the implant and the base width of the breast pocket should be equal or within 0.5cm to fit well and look the most natural.

Even the 320cc mod implant that I had been considering was 0.7cm less than my base width. I would have had to go up to 380cc to get an implant with my exact bwd of 13. I don’t want anything at all near that size. But I want my implants to fill up my pocket nicely. I don’t wst much projection.

Love you did the math and did not just look at the fill numbers. That was my analysis too - combination of bwd, side-boob/large boob-spacing fear, and general healing (I was a A/AA before) and with no kids and athletic, never stretched my breast tissue. BEST OF LUCK - go with our head, gut, heart...

Oh yea. I’m definitely someone who wants to know the details and truly understand what is going into my body and how it will fit there. Do you have any photos of your own breast augmentation before and now? I don’t know if we can send pics on this site. I am part of the Bustmob community on Facebook and it’s an amazing resource. Tons of awesome women going through the same thing or already have been through it. I’ve been able to see a lot of great examples of implants on people similar to my size with similar bwd and similar implants. My main fear in all of this is my boobs ending up drooling and invading my torso at all. I do not want that. I want perky, high boobs but also to look natural. I nursed 3 kids so they stretched out and got big when I was breastfeeding. But they were always stiff and then shrunk back and I never got stretch marks and have zero sag… I just have zero boobs. Lol. So I’m hoping that means my skin is very strong and taut and that they won’t droop at all with my smaller implants.

Low profile examples….

User Avatar
GotTheBoobs1022
These are a few low profile examples that I found which helped me pull the trigger on going low profile. I have many reasons why I want less projected, smaller boobs. But one reason I recently discussed with my husband was that I have a 2.5, 4, and 8 year old. I cuddle them and wrestle and play actively with them all the time. I want to be comfortable and not have boobs getting in the way. Once my kids are older I can always get a bigger size or more projected implant if I want to. But after seeing these examples I think I’ll be very happy after having nothing my whole life. The 3 ladies in this collage are all from this Real Self site :)

Thank you so much for sharing your story and findings. I can totally relate! I'm nearly 37, two kids breastfed (2.5 and 4.5yrs old) and I have almost zero boob left. I also have very similar tummy moles to you haha!
I've also always had small boobs and enjoyed my breastfeeding boobs. I very much want to look natural, like me, still small.
Good luck for your surgery, I will be following closely.
(I had my first virtual consult yesterday and my first in-person consult is on Tuesday. I'm really excited and wish it could all be done ASAP!)

This is exactly why I decided to post my journey here! It was so so helpful for me because so many people want to go BIG. I know- the anticipation is the worst especially when you keep seeing other people’s journeys like I do on Bustmob. Bustmob is a group on Facebook if you want to join a group of ladies who are also going through this :). It’s a super positive group. But Real Self has been the most helpful in terms of seeing women with smaller implants.

Considering Mod profile again…

User Avatar
GotTheBoobs1022
Well… I thought I was completely set on 280cc low profile but this whole time I’ve been wavering between 280cc low profile and 320cc mod profile… and now I’m leaning more towards the mods. A girl who I had messaged awhile back who has low profile implants finally messaged me back and we talked for a bit and she sent me some photos. Basically the low profile on her did not have hardly any projection. She started flat just like me. I asked her about wearing sports bras and she said it looks nice and full from the front but not much projection from the side. I basically live in sports bras or little cami bras. I want some projection without feeling like I need to wear some sort of a push up or padded bra. That’s the whole point of getting a boob job! Haha. I realized that the reason this has been so hard for me to choose between the low profile and mod profile is because I love the LOOK of the mod profile examples I see around the cc size I’d get- but I love the FUNCTION of the low profile implants in that they’d give me some boobs but I felt they wouldn’t get in the way of my life as much and they’d be less noticeable because I don’t show them off at all. But I don’t think the mods will be super noticeable in clothes either. And it’s not a huge cc and I have a wider bwd so it’s not a super projected implant. I want to LOVE how my boobs look… not just be ok with them. My other friend I have made online talked to me the other day and I was reminded of her before and after and she has mod plus implants that are actually the same projection as my mods would be. She has 320 and 325cc. And I LOVE how they look. I’m attaching her before and after pic because her before is so much like mine and her after is what I want. I’m also attaching more of my fave wish pics. So yep- as of now I’m wanting the 320mods. My surgery is Friday and I’ll go over everything with the doc again and make sure that we are all on the same page and that that’s the best choice for me. This process has been such a rollercoaster for me and I think this is just a hard process for people who don’t want to go too big. Wish me luck and pray for me!! Thanks!

Thanks for the update! I appreciate you sharing your experience, I think I'll probably be in the same position - trying to decide if the low profile will be sufficient once they're in! I hope your surgeon will be able to advise.
Keep us posted and good luck with your decision-making!
(PS your friend's boobs look fantastic!)

So glad I found your posts! I’m in the same boat as you right now and scheduled for 11/11. Seems I have similar build as you as well. Can’t wait to see what you decide and how it all goes!!
I hav emu sizing appt this week so hoping I make final decision then!
Good luck!!!!

GettingBoobs1022 - best of luck. I thought I wanted to go on the smaller side (was looking at 295 mod profile, submuscular. I settled on 345cc, mod profile and LOVE them. I am so glad I went a little bigger - I just kept telling myself how small the difference really was, a few tablespoons. I probably could have gone bigger for my frame, but wanted to be able to stay athletic (as much as I could given other medical conditions), and be relatively proportional (over-rated). Proportional I've decided is all about HOW YOU FEEL. Again, glad I went bigger - I'm probably a full C now (I am 5'-8" and 140 lbs). My Doc told me I could have gone to 375 as well, but I did not want too much side-boob, that was the only reason I went smaller. You'll be great - best decision I have made, just for me, in a LONG time!! Good luck this week - you'll look amazing with your choice!

Do you know your BWD? I am looking for a similar size and have a wider chest. Love your results!

My bwd was 13! The implants I ended up getting have a width of 12.3.
