WORTH IT
FOR ANYONE BEGINNING THEIR JOURNEY - I really wanted to write this review honestly and share my experience from a plastic surgery virgin to a now totally changed woman:
I didn't know the first thing about a "boob job" (which I found out later my procedure was called a bilateral breast augmentation), only that I knew after 2 kids my breasts had deflated and sagged and recessed to the smallest cup size there probably is. I felt washed up, blah; nothing fit and it was hard to feel sexy for my husband. I never thought I would be the person to consider surgery but then I thought about stuffing my bra with socks for the next 50 years and decided that I was going to do something about it.
With NO clue where to start, I came to this very site to start the process. So ladies, gentlemen, I'll save you some time. From Barrie to Mississauga and probably even further, I can tell you that there in no better team you would want to do this with than with Dr. Andrade and his staff. I actually had shopped around, gone to multiple consultations but after weighing all of the factors from all of my separate visits, here's what I found:

(WilliamAndrade) Office was very clean, current and modern. It's bright and brand new, and also has free wifi to jump on and the receptionist are super friendly.
(OTHERS) All kind of similar, all pretty clean and hip and most have wifi.
(WA) You actually don't need the Wifi because I never waited more than 5 minutes to go in for any of my appointments. Even on the day of my surgery I was super early because there was some bad weather so I gave myself some extra minutes, but everyone was already there and all set and we actually got started ahead of time.
(OTHERS) My other consultations I had booked the appointment from months out and I was to be the first one in at 8:15am. I wasn't called back until about 9:00am as people started to fill up the waiting room. It looked more like a BOOM BOOM BOOM bang them in and out sort of place (and yes, these are other places from other doctors high on these reviews you are probably considering).
(WA) My consultation was amazing - my husband came with me and I was there beginning to end with Dr. Andrade. He was very throughout, knowledgeable but also super likeable, and the most important thing was that you can actually tell he LOVES what he does and cares about his patients. He explained the science behind the surgery, about incisions, recovery time... even the different type and kind of implants he uses (which are the best!). We had our own time to try on "sizers" but when he came back in I asked him to go through it again with me and he was more than happy to. I didn't feel rushed to make a decision (even though I could have come back 10 more times to change my mind) and I thought that was really important.
(OTHERS) My consult started with the "nurses" who explained kind of the same stuff, and then the doctor came in, said hello, measured my breasts and left the girls measurements and "notes" onto what sizers I could try on. Then he left. Then we tried on sizers. Then he came back and said ya those look good, then on to the next people. It felt kind of impersonal, very "factory" like.
I can only continue this review for Dr. Andrade as obviously the choice had been made where to go.
The day of the surgery came and although excited, it became very real and I started to feel a little nervous. The entire process of being welcome, and walked through the prep, and entering the operating room was super streamline. I remember laying on the bed about to "go to sleep" and every single person in there had included me, I was in the conversation, just made me feel so comfortable. They all even came over to say "good night" before I knocked off, and I think Dr. Andrade could see I looked really nervous and he squeezed my hand as I went out which was so reassuring. Recovery room afterwards was great and the nurse was awesome, and I was all packed up and out the door just over 3 hours later, no needless waiting around or hiccups or anything - very organized.
Anyway, I am just a week past and the result is AMAZING - AMAZING. I am SO happy I went this route and will definitely recommend his services to any of my friends or family considering this. Everyone reading this, the most important thing I hope you take out of this is that he CARES about you, it's not just his job or a pay check, but he will make sure that YOU are happy. Thanks again Dr. Andrade I LOVE my new body!

So glad to hear RealSelf was helpful with your journey. It sounds like you had a wonderful and positive experience with your surgery. How has your recovery been the past week? And what type and size implants did you get? Hoping you'll update us again soon. Congratulations!

Hi!!! I love your review of Dr. Andrade and how you even took the time to also include your experience of your consults with the other doctors! It'd really very helpful. I've been doing a lot of research on this procedure and came across Dr. Andrade as he is rated #1 in York Region and has very good reviews. Your review is very, very helpful. I have my consultation with him in two weeks. I wish it was sooner but that was the earliest I could get.

Your review was posted in January 2016. Can you please provide us with an update on how you're doing? Have the girls dropped? Did you have to call Dr. Andrade months after and / or see him again. If so, did you have to pay extra? Can you also let me know how much yours cost? I realize it's not a standardized price as everyone is different and it will be priced accordingly.

Thanks again for your very helpful review and appreciate any more information you can provide.
