25, No Kids, 5'0, Petite Body Build/bottom Heavy. Consultation W/Dr. Colgrove - Atlanta, GA

I am 24 years old, although I will be 25 when I get my breast augmentation. I have a consultation set for August 10, 2016 with Dr. Colgrove at Vingings Sergical Center . I am super excited to meet with him even though many reviews have said that Dr. Colgrove isn't very personable. I have done tons and tons of research in preparation for this and will probably ask 100 questions lol . Anyway, I want a BA because my breast aren't very perky or full at the top, and I don't have any cleavage . I want fuller more youthful breast since I don't have kids. When I was a teenager, I ended up losing close to 20 lbs (10 of which were lost over a duration of the summer, about 2 months) and my breast have not been full since. I want to be able to confidently wear strapless clothes and bikini tops without feeling self conscious! I will keep you posted, updated, and share my BA journey with you all from beginning to end !

Yesterday I had my consultation with Dr. Colgrove at Vining's Surgery Center . A lot of reviews that I read about Dr. Colgrove have said that he isn't very personable . I wouldn't say that he wasn't personable during my consultation, he was just very professional and straight to the point. But like everyone else said, i did not spend a lot of time with him, about 15 mins total with him .

(I accidentally uploaded the previous post before I finished lol)

So I arrived to Vining's Surgery center about 30 mins earlier than my 3pm appoint, and was called back by 2:50. The first nurse weighed me, took my blood pressure, and then took me to my room . I had to undress from the waist up and then put a robe on. The same nurse then walked me to another room to take a picture of my breast . After that I watched a video about breast lifts and was given a before/after book of Dr. Colgrove's previous breast lift operations . After the video, another nurse came in we looked at my picture, and played with different sizes to get a more realistic feel of how they would look on me. We also tried on different sizers and the recommended sizes for my body frame . Dr. Colgrove came in the middle of this . He introduced himself and got down to business . He took a few measurements of my breast, looked over my picture, explained how/where the incisions would go and what he would do during the procedure in general. He asked me about size, and when I told him 350cc he said "perfect, I love 350, that'll be perfect for your small frame" . He talked a little more about the surgery in general, breast size , implant type , etc. I asked him about the difference between silicon and ideal implants and which one he recommended. He explained the difference and even let me feel the difference between the two. He didn't recommend an implant type, he simply said, it depends on what type of result/feeI was looking for. He then told me that the nurse would go over sizes with me and left . The nurse and I continued to talk about sizes, we looked at all of the "want" and "do not want" breast pictures that I brought in, and I asked her A LOT of questions LOL . After that I got dressed, and spoke the financial advisor about prices . The consultation was about 45 mins long.

I do feel like Dr. Colgrove is more involved once patients actually get to the pre-op phase . Remember this is JUST a consultation and consultations do guarantee that a patient will actually book him for surgery . Therefore I do understand his short presence during my consultation. (Especially since there were a lot of people in the waiting room also) His nurses and staff were super helpful, professional, and nice !
