445cc smooth round moderates, submuscular. Natrelle Inspira, 5’7” 125lbs,

I haven’t updated for a couple weeks but, no news is good news right?
So I’m a month postop and things are finally getting back to normal as far as pain goes. I still have instances when it’s cold and my muscles tighten up that cause me slight pain. Although it’s more like discomfort if anything. Other than that, I’ve finally been able to sleep on my side without any problems or hesitation. Before it would hurt or I felt like I shouldn’t be laying the way I was, but now no issue whatsoever. It seems like my nipples are evening out too, which I’m super excited about. I thought that because of my natural asymmetry that they would never be aligned, but so far I’m pleasantly surprised. The lower half of my breasts are still somewhat numb, but noting I can’t live with. I will gladly trade numbness for boobies any day a week. That’s again Dr. Kolder!

I was going crazy with indecisiveness. Laying in the hospital bed gown on, IV line in place, and I still hadn’t decided. Thank god for Dr. Kolder and the awesome staff he has. I initially mentioned my concerns about the anatomical to my nurse and she could probably see the fear in my face. I told her that I lived in the OC and was used to the fake look of boobs-the round, perky... you know what I mean. Anyways she went and told the doctor that I was still not comfortable with getting the anatomicals (that he recommended) and so he came in and we discussed my concerns in a very nonchalant way, which was comforting to say the least. I told him that I like the fake, cleavage look, wanted upper pole fullness, and that I lived in Orange County(a key part of his selection process I believe.) I told him that I had concerns with the cancer rate associated with the textured implants. As well as the possibility of the anatomical shaped implants rotating and the fact that they are harder than silicon and the little breast tissue I has was most likely not going to conceal that fact.
Much to my surprise, Dr. Kolder only assured me that my concerns were valid and didn’t tried to sell me on the anatomicals or force me to proceed(because at this point I’m obviously paid in full and everything.) He instead validated what I was saying and reassured me that it was clear I had done my research and what I was expressing was sound. He said let’s do the smooth classic implant not the textured one, and that was that!
I work in the medical field and am in school studying nursing, and it’s rare to find a doctor that will go back on things he said. Or address a situation like my indecisiveness as well as Dr.Kolder did, with compassion and understanding. His validation of my fears gave me the courage to make the choice of not going with his professional advice and with my gut feeling instead, and so far I’m so glad I did. I guess I can’t ever know what the anatomical gummies would have looked like, but I honestly don’t care. I have no regrets as of now, although to be critical I am only 2 weeks in.
In the end I would rather be mad at myself for not trusting the doctors professional advice and getting bad results, because in the end it would have been my mistake. Agreeing to a doctors recommendation and getting unsatisfying results, leaving me resenting them and what they ‘did’ to me would be a far worse an outcome in my opinion.
That may just be me, but anyways...another added bonus of choosing the smooth round Natrelle implants, drum roll please...
I got 445ccs instead of the 400cc anatomical gummies that the doctor had specifically ordered for me. He knew I wanted bigger and said in the operating room that he found he was able to fit more than expected and so surprised me with the 445cc’s. I thought my certificate was a mistake or I was misreading the little tags or something, because I just assumed since we decided to do the smooth round implants they would be the same volume as the anatomical gummies.
I inquired about the tags the next day at my follow up and Dr.Kolder just smiled and said, “I thought you would be happy about that.” Understatement much.
Anyways my stats:
5’7”
120-125
Small 34B
Natrelle Inspira
445cc
SMF (I think...)
Under the muscle
Inframammary fold incision
Surgery was April 3, 2018
Preformed by Dr. Kolder of Pacifica Medical Spa in Camarillo
P.S. I am in no way financially or otherwise benefitting from my review, and am doing so only to pay forward the help I received from this website.

I am so indecisive... I just can’t decide on the teardrop cohesive gel “gummy bear anatomical” or the smooth silicon. My PS recommended the anatomical cohesive gel because he has to lower my inframammary fold by 1.5-2 cm. I found that he said the exact same thing to another patient of his, and so my fear is he is just favoring one type of implant over another and it has nothing to do with my anatomical makeup. I guess I should make a pros and cons list to each
Sientra 400 cc teardrop cohesive gel:
PROS
Doctor’s recomendation
They don’t loose shape
Less possibility of rippling
Less possibility of “double bubble”
5year capsular contracture warranty
CONS:
harder/less natural feeling
Don’t move in pocket PS makes
Less upper pole
Chicken cutlet look immediately after surgery
Smooth round silicon cc?
PROS
Tried and true results
No flipping or shifting
Less risk of the cancer linked to textured implants
Softer feeling
More perky looking
CONS
More obvious that you got a boob job
Can loose form over time
Possibility of leaking silicon
Not what the dr. recommends
My brains fried on the subject, I’ll add more as I can think of them. Off to take my pre surgery shower.
