Hello all! I am glad to have found this site and appreciate that so many women are willing to share their experiences. Thank you!
I have finally made an appointment for a consult with a Minneapolis surgeon and would love everyone's advice (especially Mpls residents) on how many surgeons to consult with before making a decision. Through the site reviews and lots of photo gallery review I have scheduled an appointment with Dr. Douglas Gervais (honestly couldn't choose between him or Dr. Tholen -- they both seem to be equally fantastic surgeons) and Dr. Jennifer Harrington.
Has anyone gone forward with the first PS you consulted with? I am afraid of making an impulsive decision, but I also don't want to wait months and months to schedule surgery. Dr. Gervais was able to see me within a week of my call and the other surgeon was scheduling out a month or two.
I will be posting more info as I move forward with the BA, but for now here are my stats:
33 yrs old, no pregnancies, 5'8" 125 lbs, A cup (if I'm lucky) planning for a C cup post op. Other bits of info, I am very active (weight training, hot yoga, water sports) and don't want breasts to hinder my activity level. I also have a significant asymmetry which I will post photos of at a later date. My left breast is noticeably larger than the right but it seems to be a periodic swelling, not every month, but more so for months at a time before settling down. Anyone else out there have a similarly changeable breasts?
I'd appreciate any advice or guidance you ladies would like to share. Thanks!

I had four consults and went with the second one. Do not be afraid to have lots of questions written down and to shop around. You don't hurt anybody's feelings and you need to find what is best for you! If they don't like the fact that you are researching and trying to figure out this life changing thing you are about to go through then X marks the spot for that one. You will know when you find the right one. If something seems wrong or you just can't put your finger on it then skip that one. You have to feel total confidence and feel really good about the PS. You're life is I his/her hands. Good luck!

Thank you for your input. Yes, I went in with at least 10 written questions and equal number of photos (wish boobs and didn't like). Glad to have found a PS I am excited about and comfortable with on the first try (this website helped a ton). Thanks again!

I have a consultation with Dr. Gervais on Feb. 11th! Like you I am very nervous with finding the right doctor. I have heard a lot of good things about him and from the pictures on their website it looks like he does a fantastic job! I am hoping he will be the one so I can get this done with soon! Looking forward to seeing what you think of him!

Thanks for joining in! Yes, I agree, Dr. Gervais' work looks amazing and the staff has been great already. I'll certainly keep you posted.

I'm 2 yrs post op & my implants feel very firm. Like I'm getting capsular contracture. I liked when they were squishy & natural feeling!! I don't know if I'd have to pay to have that fixed! I don't feel like dishing out more cash! Ugh! And my implants fall off to the sides too. But I thought mine did because they are over the muscle!
