- 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.

Before and after pics(about 3 months post op)
Excuse the stretch marks.lol. They are memories from breastfeeding.lol. My boobs gained a few cup sizes then and of course shrank after I was done. Pics are about 3 months post op. My incision healed up really well. None of the scary stuff I read online happened. I bought and followed the scar regimen they advised at the office and honestly not entirely sure if it helped with the scar. My skin is "challenging" though for a lack of a better word. I just get stretch marks and scars easily. Boob wise I fell good. It's been almost a year now and they feel like they belong to my body and have always been there.. Sometimes I forget I even had a boob job.lol. I know the size I picked has something to do with it though. I have friends who have picked larger sizes and some days I still wish I did but I have learned to love what I have specially that it works with my lifestyle. I move around a lot some days and also have small children still and end up carrying my youngest a lot when walking outside so it works for me.. I can't imagine doing the things I do right now if I had gone bigger. I also didn't want it to be too obvious to friends and family that I'd done surgery and so far it works out. I'm able to kind of hide them if I want to and can also show them off when I'm at a party. 375 cc on me is a flexible size so I'm content with it most days.

I've been thinking about breast augmentation on and off for years and finally decided to do it this time. The pandemic might have made me realize that life is too short to not do something I've wanted to do and helped me gain courage to do the procedure. I chose Dr. Turkle because 2 of my friends recommended her, the clinic is not too far from my location and she had great reviews for the most part.
I did the virtual consultation online and got called right away the next day by someone from the clinic to discuss the procedure. The person I spoke to was very kind over the phone and informative. I was impressed with how thorough she was. I was hooked and scheduled my appointment during that phone call.
My husband was with me on my consultation appointment. Dr. Turkle discussed the procedure, implants and some post op expectations. She asked for my goal and told her a C or D cup even though I know the cup system is pretty flawed and bra sizes vary with bra companies.lol. I should have brought wish pictures but did not think of it at that time. I did share that I wanted it to look natural and showed her a picture of what I did not want it to look like.
After speaking with Dr. Turkle, another staff came in the room to help me try on different size implants, take pictures and look at vectra imaging. I first decided on 450 cc but then Dr. Turkle came in the room and talked more about the risks of going that big so I decided on 375 cc instead.
After the decision of the size was made, me and my husband were led to another room to discuss surgery scheduling and payment. I scheduled my surgery right away. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have scheduled right away and gave myself a few days to think or even scheduled appointments with other PS as well. I would still have chosen Dr. Turkle but not giving myself a few days to think and not having another PS opinion made me doubt my choice a lot while waiting for the surgery. In my own opinion, I think I would have felt better if I put in more time and effort to see other PS to reinforce my choice but it is what it is.. Like I said, I would probably end up choosing Dr. Turkle in the end either way.lol
The follow up after my first appointment and waiting for surgery date to come was a little disappointing. I felt for a while that I was left to fend for answers or what the next step is after I paid the money.
I called a few times asking for next steps and was given conflicting information with the paperwork and also with the different staff I spoke with. I am blaming it on the pandemic and understand that the staff might be struggling with the new routine on how they do things because of covid-19. There seems to be change of staff or short staffing at the clinic so I think that contributed to the confusion with the process but all other reviews you read about the clinic staff are great so I'm really thinking my experience is just because of all the changes and transition happening.
The staff have been all nice over the phone though and have always called me back when I left a voicemail so I appreciate that.
Surgery day finally came and Dr. Turkle had wonderful bedside manner as usual and shout out to the surgery team at Carmel as well because I had a really smooth experience and surgery day went well.
I actually had my first post op appointment yesterday and felt like It was hurried since they seemed to have a good amount of people in the waiting area that day. I just shrugged it off because the things that needed to be done was done and so far my post op results look ok and that is what really matters to me.
I had a few questions that I didn't get to ask during my first post op appointment but I just called and left a VM to the nurse earlier and she called me back right away to answer my questions which I truly like about the clinic. They are very good with calling back.
I know recovery period is a journey and will continue to update as I go. Realself reviews has helped me a lot so I'm doing my part and hopefully my review will help other people too. Just remember that everyone is struggling with the new changes regarding the pandemic so be more understanding with the staff and I do recommend Dr. Turkle if you are thinking of breast augmentation.
