I've wanted implants since high school. I've always had a smaller chest and asymmetry. After having 2 kids and with just breastfeeding the second child who favored the left side my asymmetry is much more noticeable and that side has grade 2 ptsosis. I had my first consult today with Dr. Nodwell in Ottawa. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and he made me feel comfortable and was focused on what I want to achieve while at the same time giving his honest opinions and suggestions. I feel we are on the same page. I tried on different sizes and decided with HP round smooth silicone, 415cc for lefty and 485cc for righty. I will also get a periareolor (donut) lift on lefty. I did also have a look at the IDEAL implant but I'm not sure I like the feel of it. I do like that the size can be adjusted during surgery and that if there is rupture it's safer. I'd love to hear from anyone who's had the IDEAL implant. I've got some more saving to do before I can book anything but I'm hoping for next spring!

Have you scheduled your surgery yet? I also had a consult with Dr Nodwell and I had one with Dr Ian MacArthur at the Kanata clinic.
It's such a hard decision. I like both doctors so at this point I don't even know who to go with. Dr Nodwell charges more than others; I don't want that to be the deciding factor but I can't overlook it either. Have you consulted other doctors? What made you chose Dr Nodwell? Thanks and good luck in your journey!

Hi!
Unfortunately I haven't booked anything yet and have had to put things on hold due to financial reasons :( I haven't had any other consults yet but when I am ready to start looking into surgery again I actually plan on going to Toronto to Dr. Edelstein for a consult for another opinion. I would say base your decision on the surgeon and his results/creditionals and your gut feeling! But I know what you mean, it is a lot of money! What did you think of the surgeon you went to in Kanata? Never heard of him ?

I liked dr MacArthur as well, but he has less experience. That's the only thing. Also he recommended a slightly different procedure than what Dr Nodwell recommended.
It is so confusing because I want to go through with this but I want to do it right and I want to limit risks and have realistic expectations at the same time. Maybe I should seek a third opinion...ughh this is so stressful already and I'm not even there yet. Lol
It took me years to even get to this point and then took me some more to convince my husband that I need this to feel good in my body. He's on board now but he wasn't at all at first.
We'll keep in touch.

I follow him on snapchat :) Have you seen anyone for a consult in Ottawa?
