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.

Lol I called my surgeon's office on Monday trying to get an earlier date for surgery. Susan is so busy since it's a Monday and they're always super busy on Mondays, but she called me right before she closed shop to tell me to sleep on it, because they can only change it once with no charge, and then I have to pay $500 if I reschedule a third time. And damn was she right. I fell asleep and woke up like yeah that was really impulsive and stupid to change the date, and I think in midst of all this I even called myself a dumb-ass out loud. I didn't call Susan back because I was embarrassed. So girls, patience is a virtue. Please exercise patience.
I came across some superficial things on a breast augmentation forum yesterday. A girl was saying that 36-24-36 was the measurements that attracts most guys. If your waist-to-hip ratio is .7 or close to it, it means you have the most attractive body. I measured myself. My bust is 32.5 inches, waist is 28 inches, and my hips are 35 inches.
So the formula for this is dividing the waist by the hips.
28/35 = 0.8 (LOL WOW NOT ATTRACTIVE OK)
My body type is a slim apple, where my shoulders are wider than my hips, but everything else is pretty much in close range of each other in measurement, which makes me a straight body type DAMMIT WHY ME
Anyways, that makes me wonder if having high profile implants of around 400cc is going to make me look top heavy. Another reason implants bottom out is because they might be too heavy and their skin/tissue is too thin to them hold up. 400cc implants weigh about 1.75 lbs. Did some more searching on google and a website said that moderate profile implants would go well with my body type.
This isn't set in stone, but I originally wanted to go with high profile, 385cc for my left breast and 415cc for my right breast. My natural left breast is about 25cc more fuller than my right. My left BWD is 12 cm and my right BWD is 12.5. Let's look at implant dimensions between high profile and moderate profile:
Smooth Responsive Full (High Profile) -
• 385cc volume, 12.25cm width, 5.0cm projection (left)
• 415cc volume, 12.50cm width, 5.1cm projection (right)
If we're trying to make both breasts symmetrical in fullness, it's a 30cc difference which is 5cc more than 25cc but I doubt 5cc is a noticeable difference, and left implant would be .25cm more than my original BWD.
Smooth Responsive Moderate (Moderate Profile) -
• 330cc volume, 12.25cm width, 4.1cm projection (left)
• 345cc volume, 12.50cm width, 4.2cm projection (right)
Only 15cc difference, but it's 10cc less than 25cc which might still make my left breast bigger than my right with the dimension of these moderate profile implants. The left implant is also .25cm more than my original BWD.
I wonder how much in inches will it add to my bust. My bust is 32.5 inches, and my ass is 35 inches. Will I look top heavy with high profile implants? Just some thoughts I wanted to share. BLEH Look at these numbers! Sorry.

Out of all my wish pics, these are the look I want.
Why do I like the nipples a little lower than in the center of the implant? Because GRAVITY. I noticed that people who actually have their desired results within 1-3 months post-op end up having their nipples a little high on the implant later on, or in other words: too much distance from nipple to crease, making it look like it's gonna bottom out in 6 months/1 year post-op when it stops dropping and fluffing, becoming their actual final result. I gotta mention this to my surgeon at my pre-op because I don't think I've expressed exactly what I wanted in the consultation. SO EXCITED. THE ANTICIPATION IS PRACTICALLY EXCRUCIATING UGGGGGHHHH
And for people who have their incision on the crease, most see that their incision isn't on the crease anymore because GRAVITY. I told Dr. Sohn that I want to go through the areola, because I'm a dark asian and I can't speak for all asians with olive skin tone but I scar really bad. If he went through the armpit I would totally go for that instead of the areola to avoid any scarring on the breasts. But peri-areolar is the next best thing :)
In my opinion, peri-areolar approach is still better than the transaxillary approach because I've been seeing that breasts that are too wide apart when going through the armpit, or that one breast is noticeably higher than the other. But I've also seen really amazing results, from doctors in Florida who have had lots of experience in it that almost all of their patients have had transaxillary breast augmentation from them. I just don't want to travel for breast augmentation, it's just not in the cards for me.
I realized that there's so much to take into account such as gravity, time, positioning of the implant, and creating the pocket and how low.. I bet plastic surgeons are not only artists but also really good at math and physics. Boob designers. Breast engineers. LUL

Nope, definitely not getting textured implants.
Dr. Sohn also mentioned about this rare cancer associated with having textured implants, called Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). This is not breast cancer. It's a cancer of the cells of the immune system, a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It can occur in different parts/organs in your body, including lymph nodes and skin.
Data suggests that BIA-ALCL occurs more frequently in textured than smooth implants, and can occur as soon as 1 year or as late as 40 years post-operation. The FDA reported 359 cases and 9 deaths in the United States as of February 1, 2017.
Symptoms are persistent pain and swelling due to an accumulation of fluid (seroma) that contains lymphoma cells surrounding the breast implants in a thick mass or fibrous scar capsule. Another symptom is a lump in the breast or armpit.
Treatment in most cases is removal of the implant and the capsule surrounding it, usually it happens in one breast but surgeons remove both implants in the case that it spreads to the unaffected implant. In other cases they require chemotherapy or radiotherapy to treat it.
So yeah. Not gonna open my mind to textured implants. These past two days I've been scaring myself with all of these crazy complications to having breast implants. I'm really bummed that going with the peri-areolar approach means a higher risk of infection and capsular contracture. I've read success stories of women being able to breastfeed after peri-areolar breast augmentation, but other women only able to lactate a little bit, using a breast pump to help. Le sigh. So many concerns.
