I originally had low profile and changed to moderate plus. I think that if you've never had children a want just a little enhancement, low profile is great. I was unhappy because after multiple kids my nipples still kind of pointed at the ground with 200cc. I needed the additional size and projection. I think the most natural results come from matching size to the tightness of your tissues. Obviously, mine were pretty loose and handle the size nicely.

Hun, low profile is the more nat look but it really depends on the frame of your chest, and what size you want to get to.

Silicone costs $8,000 with Dr. Kim and the balance has to be paid in full prior to surgery. I applied for Care Credit, but also paid 50% in cash. I plan to finish paying the other 50% by the end of the year.

Low or Mod Plus: I just received a Moderate Plus Silicone Implant (339cc) after I told Dr. Kim somewhere between a small-mid c cup. As far as the profile selection. Low profile is the widest, flattest implant for the most natural appearance. Dr. Kim said it would be TOO WIDE for my chest width and kind of flat looking since I didn't have much breat tissue to start with. Meanwhile, the High Profile had a narrow base and much more projection, kinda resembled a baseball. But with that implant, I would most definily get a weird boob gap. Soooo... I picked somewhere in between, the Mod plus was a good size for my frame/ chest width to achieve a natural appearance and nice cleavage:). Good luck!

sounds like mod plus is the best way to go. im excited to see your results, bc thats exactly the size i'm going for! i cant wait to get mine but unfortunately have to wait until my other surgery is all healed up.

had my consul with dr. kim

my consul was pretty easy, i went in knowing i would want dr. kim to do my surgery. i just had a few questions such as bottoming out and about the different incisions. i think i'm going to go with the size, medium C. i read in other reviews on here that dr. kim was cold or what not. i didn't feel that way at all, he was to the point and honest. he even joked around with me, which caught me off guard haha

i even saw a model that i recognized while i was in the waiting area, which completely sealed the deal, because her's look amazingly REAL and NATURAL. nowwww.... i just have to wait until janaury, to see if i need my hip surgery =( if not... boobies it is =) can't wait to feel and look good

I know at Dr Kim's office they don't offer the 0% with care credit. Because 0% is only for terms from 6 to 18 months. If you plan on paying it off within 18 mths, I recommend applying for a credit card. I got a citi card that approved me for $5k. So I'll drop the rest in cash. If you plan to pay it off in a few years, go with care credit if you don't mind paying their high rates.

Btw, my citi card is 0% for 18 mth. You can also apply for other credit cards at the same time :)

HI Coffee, when is your op date? Is it this month? I wish you good luck. I am sure you can go to C cup easily looking at your current size.

I was more like a 33A and went with 300cc which has given me a very full 34B thus far (3 weeks out). If you know you want to be a C and you're getting silicone implants, you may want to consider more like 325-350cc. The photos you posted though look a little borderline B and C. Just a thought.

I agree with bettyjean, your wish pics look like a full B small C. And you actually have a fair amount of natural boob! I think it is great that you have pics of both wish boobs and one that represents what you consider a little too big. That may help your PS understand what you are envisioning! Good luck!
