  • Posted to How Long Until my New Breasts Settle and Reduce in Size? on 9 Dec 2009

    It can take 6-8 weeks for the implants to settle. You will likely see changes up to 4 months. Give it at least 6 months before you decide to change the size.
  • Posted to What questions should I ask during consultation? on 13 Nov 2009

    One of the most important questions you can ask is if the doctor is board certified in Plastic Surgery, NOT cosmetic surgery. There is a difference in the education and training between the 2. Next would be if the doctor has hospital privileges. If the surgery is not done at a hospital, make sure the surgical facility is accredited. At your consult you want to make sure you get all the information regarding the procedure, but you also want to make sure the doctor knows what your goals of the surgery are. Make sure your expectations are realistic and that you are a good candidate for the surgery. Ask the doctor if he is available via phone after hours, and how you would get in contact with him.
