I went in for my consult/pre-op July 20th. The nurses were all very friendly I was expecting to speak with the Doctor but he came in for 3 mins if that. He didn't ask any questions just poked in and walked out. Day of surgery was June 21st. On this day again nurses very friendly. I spoke with my doctor a few minutes. I asked him bout sizing and he offered no real opinion or suggestions which at that moment should have been my cue to leave. I'm only 1 day post I'm not sure if I'm happy or not with my results as I can't tell yet but I fear I didn't go big enough for the look I wanted. I thought for sure the doctor or nurse would see my wish list take my body and we pick sizes from there but that's not at all how it went. It just wasn't a very personal or helpful experience.

Day 2 (doubts/flying)
I really think 425 maybe even 450cc would've been good on my body. Right now 400cc looks decent but I know I'm going to lose that size once the swelling goes down. By the way I flew in for my surgery and I honestly felt good enough to go home the next day, I had already planned on staying close for at least a week but if anyone wanted to travel and had doubts it's def doable.

Thank you for posting your experience. May I ask your height? I'm 5'2 and have the same issue with sizing. I was told 400cc. I haven't booked my appointment, but had the same problem with him not giving advice on sizing.

Hey I'm planning on doing the same thing. Was the consultation you had before your surgery the very first consult you had? When you booked your consultation, did you let them know that you would be flying in and wanted to get the surgery scheduled the very next day? I'm sorry I have a lot of question lol.

Its been almost 2 whole days since surgery. The anesthesia must have finally wore off cause I woke up with my chest hurting so bad I called my mom. I stopped taking the heavy pain killers after 2 doses and went to the mild ones. Monday the 25th I go in for my follow up appt. Ill probably take a heavy pain killer because I am also flying home that day and would love to just sleep the whole flight. I hope during my follow up my surgeon is a bit more vocal. I have very little to review him on cause he simply didn't talk to me much. When my boobs drop I'll do an update to see if it was all worth it. I will say if I had to do it again. Again my biggest concern is did I choose the right size. I decided that although 400cc will look small and ill hate that I like that people probably won't know I got my boobs done. I always wear bombshell bras and cutlets.

I believe once your implants completely settle,which I have seen some women on here take as long as 8 months to completely settle,I think you will be well pleased. So far they look great,sorry about your experience though.

the more I compare myself to others who are more my size the more I believe that the 400cc were a good choice and maybe my surgeon would have been more vocal if he felt I was doing something wrong I def would have liked him to be more personable no matter what but the rest of the staff was awesome and made up for it. tomorrow my follow up and i'll have a better opinion of him.

Please keep me posted. I too think when everything settled you will look great. I had a consultation with Dr Colgrove for a mommy make over and decided not to go with him due to the fact he really didn't seem to care at all.
