Dr Campbell's office is excellent, very accommodating and extremely helpful. I had a confusing consult with another surgeon, and had booked the surgery anyway, upon reflection I wanted a second opinion... Seeing the reviews and website for Dr Campbell, I knew I wanted to meet him. When I tried to book a consult, they were booked for a few months and couldn't actually get me in until the day I was scheduled with the other surgeon. After explaining, they wanted to make sure I could get a second opinion before having the surgery, so they fit me in after a few weeks to start the consult with their RN, Joanne, and then complete the consult with Dr Campbell. The consult went amazing, Joanne was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when trying on sizers. We spent almost 2 hours going over everything. By the time Dr Campbell came I barely had any thing to ask him. He was extremely kind, and made me feel very comfortable. The questions I did ask he answered in a way that was easy for me to understand. He did an exam, took measurements and he assured me that the implants I selected from trying sizers with Joanne would work well for me and give me the look that I wanted.
They ended up having a cancellation, so could schedule me in for surgery within 10 days. Since this is something I've wanted for a long time, and was very excited for I took the earlier date. It worked out so well, that I'm convinced it was meant to be :)
Every one in the office had been amazing. Since scheduling, and the date coming up so close I have been panicking a little everyday about every single thing haha, I've called Joanne almost every day and she hasn't gotten tired of me yet haha, still extremely helpful and accommodating. She even gave me her personal number in case I need to contact her after hours or on the weekend. She assured me that it's completely normal to stress out as the day gets closer. I have my surgery on Monday, and I am so excited I can barely focus on anything else.
I am 5'8", 185lbs, and carry most of my weight in my hips/butt/thighs. I wanted to look proportional, but not too fake. I am getting 500cc mod+.

If you are on a desktop/laptop/tablet, just click on the name of the forum in blue font, in my original message. If you are on a mobile device, you may need to type the name of the forum into the RealSelf search bar. Let me know if this works.

You had the same exact thing as I did! Mine look like yours too! I had a lift too. I still go thru highs and lows. I'm hitting 8 months. Went from a 34b to 34DD.

Getting closer! So excited and nervous
Surgery in 3 days. Driving down with my fiance on Sunday as I am from out of town. Planning on doing laundry and packing tonight.
I'm getting 500cc moderate plus mentor silicone implants. I've been panicking and flipping back and forth whether I'm going too big or not big enough and stressing myself out reading every scary thing online haha.
After making my own rice sizers I must have tried them on every day to see the size difference... I think it's freaking me out because it's such a huge difference to me and a big change, but the more I try them on the happier I am with my choice. I even wore them to Wal-Mart to try on shirts to make sure I picked one loose enough for after the surgery... My fiance came with me, but he didn't come to the consult, so was also getting used to the size... He seemed happy about it tho haha :P
I know it's a big implant, but I'm a bigger girl, and I don't think they will look freakish on me, I think they really balance me out and make me look sexy :)

I had my BA with Dr. Campbell.... LOVE him and everyone there I agree with you. :) You will be so happy he is amazing. :) Good luck!
That's nice you were able to get another doctor consult and that the timing worked out well for you. I think you've chosen a great implant size for your height and weight. Feel free to join the January 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre and post op support. Good luck and update us often...even over the next few days before your surgery!
