Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Yay it is finally my turn to start a review! I am...
Yay it is finally my turn to start a review! I am three weeks away from my surgery date of October 1, 2015. Some days feel like it's taking forever, other days it feels like it is right around the corner! I am a 31 year old mother of two, 5'7" and 130lbs. I have never really liked my breasts, and have dreamed of an augmentation most of my life (I even have a photo of myself as a child with balloons in my shirt lol). I remember buying the "water" bras when I was a young adult but then never wanted to take my bra off around anyone because I didn't want them to see that my breasts were "lies"! Bathing suits have never fit properly either. Now most of my bras and bathing suits gape horribly at the top. I wear a 34A size but have not been sized since pregnancy so I wouldn't be surprised if I am wearing the wrong size. I plan to have my surgery done in banff with Dr. Hall-Findlay who has great reviews. My consultation went very well with her, I felt super comfy with her even as she was lifting my flap jacks up and explaining my personal breast footprint to me. She has said that I could go over or under the muscle but I have not totally decided which I will decide. I feel like over would give me the results I desire and the healing time would be shorter so that is what I am leaning towards. We will decide cc's at my pre-op on the day of surgery. One of these days I will do the rice test and see what I like, but I am leaning towards 400cc's. The Dr said I could go up to 500cc's but said she would lean more towards 350. Well I think that is about all I have to say at the moment. Am looking forward to going on this journey along with you lovely ladies! Will post pre-op photos soon!
Before photos
Took some much dreaded before photos and tried out the rice sizers. I almost found it depressing! I have it in my head I want 400cc's but found the rice sizers so big and hard that they looked so odd on me. Does that mean 400 is too big? Plus I was hoping I would get some cleavage like some other ladies here on real self seem to get with their rice sizers. Not my luck, no matter how much adjusting I did lol! Plus I found they seemed to sit wide and made me look larger than I am or than I want to look. Makes me more nervous about my results!
Oh how I wish
Here's some photos of my wish boobs that I have borrowed off of some other Real Self users.
Provider Review
Great consultation. Very warm and welcoming. Great bedside manner. Seems to have a sense of humor. A little behind on day of surgery but I was well taken care of. All of the staff were so wonderful. Absolutely great place to have chosen to have this done.
