There is no way an online consultant with limited information, and without the benefit of viewing your goal pictures can be more helpful to you than the plastic surgeons you have met in person. I would suggest that you select the plastic surgeon who you feel is most likely to be able to achieve your goals ( after you communicate these carefully with him/her).

Implant choices

Choosing the right implants for you requires an exam and a discussion of your goals. Remember surgeons like chefs follow slightly different recipes to achieve a good result.
