Im soo obsessed with this site! I honestly LOVE reading peoples stories and experiences. It just makes me that much more excited for my big day, and is so helpful. Im getting such a great idea of what to expect day of and post op.

Im having one issue though... I went on 5 different consults and loves 2 of the drs. My husband and I both did lots of research on both and went with the 1 we both thought was a better option. He has won tons of awards and went to great schools! I scheduled my surgery and continued to read about him in the days following. I come across 1 bad review where a woman's husband said he gave her a botched boob job 6 years ago. To say the least I'm a little freaked out now...he has plenty of great reviews calling him a life saver and best ps ever. I just don't know how to take the bad review. Should i go with the other dr i liked or trust in this 1? Im sure every dr has had an unhappy patient in their career and also think a lot depends on if you follow post op instructions. Any suggestions?

Glad to hear you love RealSelf...it's addicting!  :)

This is a tough question as the bad review was 6 years ago. Do you feel as comfortable with the other doctor? And does the other doctor have any bad reviews? As you mention, there are so many variables with each person...was the person healthy at the time of surgery, did they follow the doctor's post-op advice, were the same type/size implants used, etc. Do your two favorite doctors have the same vision for your surgery? Looking forward to following your journey!

Yes but she didnt see my ideas the same as i do. She was very nice though! And no no bad reviews for her but she doesnt have nearly the same years as he does...im feeling good with my decision and trust he will do great! Just counting down the days now!

Just under 3 weeks till my surgery! Still seems so surreal to me! I forgot to mention i am also getting a BL with the BA but only on the left side because my right is so much smaller and doesn't sag. I was told by one of the doctors i did a consult with that you should have them done separately because i could end up with wider scars from the lift, but financially its alot more and child care for 1 surgery i hard enough to get. Has anyone who had them done together had really bad scaring?
