Consultation review - told me to lose the weight and come back
ORIGINAL POST
Wouldn’t Recommend
I went in for a breast augmentation consultation last week. When I called to schedule the appointment the front desk staff was friendly and answered the questions I had. I asked them to give me a general estimate for what I was after and explained the timeline of when I was wanting to get the procedure done before scheduling. I was under the assumption that breast augmentation patients were booked out 4-5 weeks and I was ok with that. Upon arriving for my consultation I was greeted by friendly and professional front desk staff. When I went back to begin my actual consultation the nurse told me that the doctor would take photos, mark me up, show different implant sizes etc. so I expected him to be fairly thorough. I was so wrong. Dr. Nick Vial came in asked me what I was interested in and when I told him breast aug he took the appointment in an entirely different direction. He then recommended fat transfer, had me remove my leggings and proceed to pick my body apart in front of the mirror from cellulite that he said it wouldn’t help, to my flanks and thighs. I had told him that it was outside of the what I was wanting to do and he continued to push for it even though it would not get me anywhere close to where I wanted to be in breast size. He then offered repeatedly to give me a referral weight loss (once again not what I came for) and for reference my perfect weight would be 20-30 lbs lighter. I’m not morbidly obese. After I declined that. He told me to lose the weight and come back because they’re booked until June or July. No further discussion of implants or breast aug and he walked out.Start to finish he spent 5 minutes tops. It was a waste of $100 and I would not recommend his services. I called my husband and cried when I left his office. Picture of my body for reference.

I’m so sorry that he had poor listening skills and came across insensitively. Try not to let it hurt you. You have a very cute figure from the backside if I can say that lol! It’s your figure, keep what you wanna keep and do what you wanna do with your breast. If the doctor has an excellent reputation and record, if you can accept that he needs bigger emphasized cues on what you want and you can take charge of the conversation then I would consider him. If you think he’s not going to listen to you sounds like it’s done. If he wants you to lose weight you need to find out why. If your weight falls in a specific range and it’s a little on the upside, it increases the risks for anesthesia. Personally, I don’t think you looked like you were high-risk for anesthesia based on weight. Anyway, big communication problem.
Good luck to you in your search. You are beautiful. And you deserve what you want with your breasts.
