Finally got my boobies yesterday! AWESOME. Been great experience so far!
Back in February 2013 I made an appointment for a consult with Dr.Perron on the recommendation of my friend that had a breast augmentation perform by Dr. Perron within the last year. From the time I entered the Doctor's office I felt welcomed and comfortable. Staff were amazing and Lana was awesome! Lana is the nurse that anyone considering a boob job meets with before Dr. Perron's comes in the room. Lana went over all the different types of implants, incisions and actually answered the three pages of questions I had before I had a chance to answer them!
One of my concerns was that I would be pressured to go with a very large implant because of my built, 5'7.5", large boned (wide shoulders and hips), average weight 175. Workout lots and have a very "hippy" figure, wide shoulders but didn't get the boobs to make my figure an hourglass instead of a pear :) . My breast cavity measured at 15, which is very large. Told Lana and Dr Perron..'see the boobs had room but they never grew!: I didn't want to be all boobs and hips. I want to keep my body portioned and boobs big enough to have a nice set, but not too big that my waist would be hidden and all anyone would see would be hips and chest!
I wore a C36 VS Miraculous Pushup Bra, that was gaping on my but gave an illusion of boobs. Told Lana that I wanted boobs that would be just a "smidgen" larger that what this bra makes my boobs appear - a full C cup. She agreed that going much bigger would probably be too big for what I was asking. This was also confirmed when Dr. Perron came in and measured me, listened to what I was looking for and was very forthcoming with advice and recommendations that I would probably appear "fat" with too large of boobs because of my built - something that I knew but was very impressed and happy he was forthcoming with that information and honest. I booked my appointment for June 7, 2013 and the waiting began.
Went and had my surgery yesterday in Calgary - wow what an amazing experience! Like most people I did a lot of googling between February and my appointment from various blogs and wondered if I had gone big enough (I chose a moderate profile 492cc silcone cohesive gel implant). I didn't go with a high profile as my breast cavity was really wide and it was recommended to go with moderate profile, better suited to my body. I agreed. I found lots of posts talking about pain, pain killers needed and recovery after the surgery that was making me a little nervous, and a couple friends were making me doubt my implant choice as they felt I didn't go big enough - I could have actually chose any size implant as my breast cavity was large enough to accommodate the biggest implant :) I decided on a size that gave me a look to what I wanted and my lifestyle - everyone is different so be sure you know what you want when you go.
I got to office yesterday morning, meet with Carol (AMAZING NURSE), so friendly and very detailed. Went over everything with me prior to my surgery. I then meet Janet and anesthesiologist (AMAZING), everyone was AWESOME. Went in around 1pm, and was out, alert and feeling great, up and left doctor office at 3PM! The feeling of getting the boobs was described to me as when a pregnant ladies' milk comes in...well I have never had kids so didn't know. If you workout, I can compare the feeling as an amazing chest workout, a workout that included lots of tricep dips, pushups and bench presses. No pain per say, just stiff and a little sore. Well because my boobs have always been small and my workouts, my chest muscles were really tight, so my implants are currently sitting a little high and I got a "boob band", the girls are really tight. To be quite honest, I expected it and would have been more surprised if that had not happened - wasn't a lot of extra skin to work and I knew chest muscles were tight.
I got myself up, and drove back to Edmonton the same day. I wasn't sick, no nausea, right boob had a little nipple bleeding but nothing major, and got dressed, I was even able to go to bathroom by myself! LOL I know the small things you take for granted. I walked out but was just really really thirsty and kind of hungry. I think I drank 4-5 liters of water between 3PM and 11PM, and ate a yogurt with berries after, then had a sensible dinner with limited salt intake.
Just wanted to share my experience and hopefully takes away some of the nervousness for someone else! Lots of information out there, but I think it has a lot to do with attitude! I wanted this for so long, and was very positive about everything. Also because of my lifestyle I probably feel great because my muscles will hopefully heal great.

Janice..not Janet..OOPS :)
I made a mistake in my post and I can't seem to get back and edit :(
The second nurse's name is Janice not Janet. Can't believe I got her name wrong! She was part of the dynamic duo - Carol and Janice :) They are both so amazing and if you are a nervous person they can make you feel so at ease and relaxed. They certainly made me feel relaxed and took away any nervousness I may have had when I got in the surgery room. Dr. Perron has a 1st Class Team looking after his patients. Day 4 and still feeling great!

The photo's are not perfect as they are "selfies" and one are is raised a little to take the picture which moves the boob up just a little. The boobs look equally balanced to look at straight on :)
Provider Review
Dr Perron is great! I felt he was very honest and forthcoming when sharing what he thought was best. His staff and him made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. He listened to what I wanted and was looking for; I explained my lifestyle and my concerns if I went to large, as I thought he would recommend a large implant cause I knew before I went there that with my body type and built I was probably a candidate for a very large implant - and I was. I didn't want large large boobs, just a full C :) The consult and surgery went amazing. Lana was AMAZING and answered and addressed all my concerns that I had leading up to the process. I am rating "after care and follow up" but only had procedure done yesterday and will be talking to Carol on Monday. Carol is AMAZING. I seriously feel good enough to go back to work on Monday, but will be working from home and back to the office on Tuesday unless things really change. I would recommend Dr. Perron to anyone :) Very professional and very much advising on what is best for you, your lifestyle and body.
