I need a breast reduction so bad! I have been approved, waiting for surgery which could be days or months. I had my consultation with Dr. Shane Seal in Newfoundland, Canada. Since it's covered by MCP he didn't show me any before and after pics, I guess that is reserved for clients of his private practice. He is confident he can get me to a good size, but one of his comments threw me off. He said it's for therapeutic reasons, no cosmetic. Does that mean he doesn't take as much care as he would for someone who goes to his private practice and pays for it? This is my 2nd consult, first was with Dr. Joy Cluett. I wasn't particularly impressed with her and again, no before and after pictures. Since it's a small place where I live, there are some reviews on these plastic surgeons, but no pictures of their work. It really disconcerts me because I wonder is he the type that leaves them on the larger side? I don't want to go through all this and be left with breasts I still feel are too big. I am also terrified of the operation, I've never been under general anaesthetic. I am afraid I am one of those people who will die on the table.

Surgery is scheduled for Nov. 16. Wondering if I'll actually have the nerve to go through with it.

Holy, did you really have to wait from summer 2015 to Nov 2016? I'm in BC Canada, and my surgeon's office has told me it's a 6-8 or 6-12 months wait for surgery (I forget).

I could have had it done last fall, but I just started a new job and had 3 months probation so I couldn't do it at that time. They asked when I'd like to reschedule and I said next fall. Here it is lol

Ooh ok! I'm glad it's worked out for you, such a long time coming. Don't back out, everyone says they wish they had done it sooner :) the pros will surely outweigh the cons ❤

I'm in BC and just had my BR done last week. Initial consultation was April 20 and first surgery date offered was Oct 5. (That date didn't work for me so they called when they got one that worked for me).
My Dr also did not provide pictures and I was okay with that. Everyone is different!

Where in BC are you? I forgot to ask to see pics, and I'm so nervous becayse my surgeon is young. I'm nervous that she's not experienced enough.

It's so worth the lack of neck and back pain! I was a 34h and I think I'll be a c-d. I was very nervous too. No pictures from my PS, due to privacy issues with the hospital he works through. I had asked my obgyn who she recommended and he was at the top of her list. Sending calming thoughts your way....

Pre-op is Tuesday and the big day is Wednesday. Nerves are all over the place. Seriously wondering if my anxiety/fear of hospitals will get the better of me and I'll end up cancelling. I'm trying to stay positive but can't help being realistic.

❤❤❤ You'll feel so much better if you can go through with it! Weight off your shoulders, honey. I have a lot of anxiety, too, and I'm not even scheduled yet. I'm over thinking EVERYTHING but at the same time, I wish my surgery were happening asap.

Honestly this is a very painless surgery!! I wouldn't have believed it if I had not done it! I am 5 days post op and I feel great! I even had s$& with my husband last night!!!! TMI but I am trying to show how great you feel after! So worth it!!!

I personally have been a patient of Dr Seal. I trust him completely. He won't disappoint!
