About me- Hi.
I have spent over 10 years looking into implants, more saline since silicone was available. Then life happened, padded push up bras worked, falling in love and I got distracted.
FAST FORWARD to 2013. It's time for a lift in confidence and a boost for mankind!
( cheesey right?)
I need a lift and decided on small implants after a late term miscarriage that left be brokenhearted. Everything happens for a reason, Im strong again and determined.
Being an active person, Im hoping for low downtime, small natural- ish looking implants and Im open to over or under and want sills. I've spent months and countless hours on this site reading and looking at photos and experiences. Thank you to the everyone who has shared both good and bad!!

My Consults…..feels like INSULTS by some =/
My Consults…..feels like INSULTS by some
I’ve done my research as most of us have. Looked through thousands of photos.
Looking for boobs that look like ours. Looking at dream boobs.
After doing this I have met with 5 Plastic Surgeons with all the right credentials, bells and whistles. They all offer free consults if you mention real self.
Here’s my experience recently.
GIRL POWER!
First doc, female. Nice office with a fancy address. Office is bright and airy. The doctor is warm and friendly. She allowed me to ask my questions and address my concerns. She took my measurements and took her time to talk and explain what she felt would be best for me. Our consultation flowed effortlessly since I did my homework. At the end, I felt confident, comfortable and SO excited.
The boys! Next 4 consults can (sadly) be grouped as one memory. Nice offices and some had fancy addresses and pretty (dolled up) secretaries. They all had warm hellos and a brief interest in what I WANTED. I wanted to know their opinion on me getting a lift and going over the muscle. Immediately I was told NO! Definitely not” “ I don't do that” wow I thought. Before I can ask why, in all 4 instances which is interesting, I was TOLD …..under the muscle is the best technique. One even said if I went large enough I wouldn't need a lift!! That was my cue to exit that particular consult. Another concern was the measurements were off between the doctors! What the?!
When I was allowed to ask why not, given MY research, body type, lifestyle and body fat, I was told going over: would fail, I would need a lift again, no one really goes over anymore, and guaranteed risk for capsular contracture.
I felt cheated from each of these “consults”. I didn't get to show pictures or ask questions because I knew I would not be booking with that (those) surgeons.
I’m NOT knocking the male PS, but their approach was different, cold, distant and far from warm. The opposite feel they give with their plush offices. Oh well. Not upset at all. They made it easier for me.
I immediately called my first PS and started the paperwork and have set a date.
Would you believe 3 of the offices sent a follow-up call/email offering dates in October!! The gall!
So do your research, know your top 4 concerns cause odds are there will be more but you have to narrow it down! Print out photos but be realistic. Be positive! If something doesn't feel right, walk away.
Ahhh! 11 days to go!!!

All the best to you! Glad you found the right fit for your PS. I go for my first consult Wednesday. He's a male, but in practice with one other doc, a female. From the dozens of patient reviews I've read about him, they were very consistent on his wonderful, warm, not rushed bedside manner. I have high hopes and Wednesday can't get here soon enough! lol. Thanks for sharing!

Wanted to add I initially ONLY WANTED a female doc. I surprised myself. However, I looked at numerous practices online that were all male and even a couple female that just didn't have the right feel.

Goodluck to you Clife07. Again not knocking the men but it was to business-like only. felt like they were robots going through the motions. goodluck. keep us posted!

I didn't mean to make that sound like I thought men = bad or women = good or that you thought that. lol. It may have come across that way. The most important thing is to find a PS that you feel completely comfortable and at ease with and trust with two very precious possessions! LOL

BUTT what?!!
Had to mention, One of the PS that I met with asked me why I didn't consider breast implants when I got my butt done! I thought I was mishearing. He repeated himself and said they can do both at the same time. Thanks doc , but my rear is homegrown! A nice compliment…. but really. It was the blk leggings- lol
