I have never had any type of surgery but I am excited as I have chosen the best surgeon in the area. Dr P is great! He is direct, honest and definitely knows his stuff. During my initial consultation I came prepared with a list of questions but he covered everything I wanted to talk about in our 1 hour + meeting. I am not sure why I was nervous but quickly he eased any initial concerns that I had. He covered everything from breast incision locations, types of implants, possible complications with surgery, and also talked about the importance of having realistic expectations. For example, breast augmentation won't provide you with perky boobs with lots of cleavage if your breasts are naturally spaced far apart. Your natural cleavage line will be the same after surgery, just with fuller more enhanced breasts. If your nipples point outwards, you will most likely still have nipples that point slightly outwards after surgery. Your breasts will still be similar shaped just in a bigger "package." After our chat, Dr P performed a breast exam and took some before pictures. We then reviewed the photo on his iPad and he discussed what he recommended for me in regards to incision site and sizing. Originally I was thinking I might be interested in the armpit incision but after hearing his opinion and reading some negative reviews I decided on the inframammary or under breast incision. He advised that this would produce minimal and undetectable scarring and would provide the least risk for capsular contracture, as well as it provides the best opportunity for placing the implant under the muscle - which is what I wanted. We also looked over before and after pictures of past clients and he showed me pictures of scars, as this was something I was concerned about. He is truly talented as you could barely see any scarring and from all of the reviews I have read from past clients, I am not too concerned about this anymore. During my Pre Op appointment (sorry I am combining two days into one review), I got to try on sizers. I felt slightly rushed but Dr P said he knew right away what would work for me. Generally he does not recommend over 450 cc but due to being tall with hips, he recommended 500 cc for me. Hoping this is the right choice but it is hard to know as he didn't have anything this large to try on in... My surgery is scheduled for December and I am super excited and of course, a bit nervous. Wish me luck! :)

Glad you and your doctor are taking your height into consideration. In fact, here is a forum for tall women getting breast implants. You might also enjoy the December 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum for some pre op support. Looking forward to your updates along the way!

Are you going for Silicone or Saline? My consultation with Dr P is not until Feb 6, I'm excited and nervous. It's good to hear that he had answered all your questions and concerns. I've always been considering silicone but now i kinda changed my mind & will go for saline.

I'm going with silicone. Originally I thought I'd want saline as I am a bit of a health nut but after doing extensive research and comparing both, Silicone became the obvious solution for me. Saline felt to me like a plastic bag filled with water whereas silicone feels a lot more nature. Both are made from a silicone she'll but I don't like that saline tends to leak more and is more likely to show rippling. Also for me, I really don't like the idea of "black mold" that can grow around the closure site...

Oh my, black mold sounds scary. Maybe I'll just wait for my consultation with him. I'm pretty sure I'm going with Dr. P, I waited a long time, so I should trust whatever he'll recommend I guess. Goodluck on your surgery! December is right around the corner :-D

Im doing 485cc with Dr Lee on november 9th in Calgary! The difference between those and 450's was not substantial at all! You loose quite a bit of volume going under the muscle so I'm sure they will end up looking pretty close to the 450's! Good luck :) P.S im 5"10
