I had my preop today, and for the most part it was good. It did feel a bit rushed... and slow at the same time. I met with the nurse, she rushed through questions, and then I waited for 30 minutes after being told that the doctor would be in "shortly" ????
Maybe in was the fact that I was paying a sitter, and it was such wasted time... or that I honestly thought they forgot about me. Once the doctor came in... I felt again rushed. I think he is a good doctor, I just think keeping people in the loop would be helpful. A "the doctor is running a little behind. It might be a few more minutes, but would yo like some water or something to drink?" I mean I handed them a check for 4800 bucks.... a few minutes would have been nice. Just venting now... sorry!
Anyway, back to business! I asked about doing moderate, and the doctor said he still suggests going with 385cc Sientra mod plus for me. I need a little lifting, and the projection will help with that. Also, he said that we don't want to go too wide, as it will overall add bulk to my short frame, which we do not want. I trust him as a surgeon, so I'm going with it. The size feels a little bit on the big size, but the sizer that was about 350cv felt a little small. No regrets! Here's to hoping I'm in the full c/d range. I'll be wearing comfy bras anyway.... not necessarily the sized ones, anyway. If I never wear a wire bra again, it will be too soon! Ha!

Sientra moderate vs Mentor Mod+

Sientra's moderate profile has nearly the same width and projection of Mentor's mod + implants. Mind blown! It really has me thinking Sientra 380cc moderate projection will be my final choice. I would rather have a little more side boob than outward projection, without adding to much bulk to my look. The 380cc moderates are 12.8 cm wide, and projection is 4.1. Very glad I saw that moderate plus means different things with different brands!! My pre-op is 2 weeks from today! Whatttttttt?!'

Dr. Tebbetts five point system to calculate ideal implant size! So helpful!!

I stumbled upon this article/website through looking at questions that doctors had answered on Real Self. Basically, you input your personal numbers (bwd, stretch to skin, etc) and it calculates your ideal breast implant size. Before this, I was unsure between 355cc and 385cc (mod plus), and after working my numbers, it said 380cc was my ideal size. So I'm freaking out much less about the whole "going too big" thing! Here is a video on how it works! I think it could be helpful to someone that is confused about what their individual ideal size was. The really cool part, was that 385cc is what my doctor suggested when we were chatting. Guess he knew best!
