So far I've only seen Dr pugash for my initial consultation back in November. I've read from other reviews that he is arrogant and cocky however I didn't feel this way about him at all. Confident yes but not arrogant. my pre op is coming up feb 22 and my surgery day is scheduled for March 8. I feel 110% confident I'm choosing the best surgeon in Vancouver. Dr pugash is known to be the boob man after all. Simone his assistant and receptionist is such a sweet caring women and managed to sneak me in for my consult and procedure 8 months early! Ask to be put in the cancellation list when you call. His wait list is extremely long but You might get a phone call to come in earlier.

How to tell your kids
So my pre op is on Monday and my surgery date for my BA is on March 8. I haven't told many people including my children. My son is 4 so he doesn't quite understand but my 7 year old daughter will be well aware of my big change. I'm not sure if I should tell her before I have my surgery or wait until after its all said and done. I'm just not sure what I'm going to say to her and explain my surgery without coming across as superficial. I don't want her to feel that her body isn't beautiful and that it should be changed or fixed. Her teacher recently battled breast cancer so I don't want to scare her before surgery by saying that I'm having my breasts fixed. For those with children or without, how did/would you explain it to them in an age appropriate, non superficial way.

Hey there, I wondered the same thing!! I am not sure about the Littles but I was worried about my teenage dtr. How do you tell them and still give them the message to love them selves regardless?? Kind of hypocritical I think. Anyhow she found all my wish pics lol. She doesn't agree with it and teases me a lot. I just hope she isn't actually scared or anything. She will be the one looking after me though as hubby has to fly back to work after the first 5 days. Good luck and I am sure someone will have some advice.

Goodluck with your pre-op! That's very exciting. Mine won't be till next year haha, Dr. Pugash is a very busy man! I have kids too, 12yo daughter and 6yo son. I told my daughter about it and she's excited for me and voluntered to help out. She understands why i wanted to get it. I've explained to her about self-love and self confidence and she appreciates my honesty. I think they appreciate that you can trust them in this big decision. On the other hand, my son doesn't know and i think he's too young to understand it :-). I will be following your journey as well. Couple more weeks till your big day, I'm excited for you! Take care!

I have mentioned it to my two "older" kids, 6&8. I explained to them that after having 4 babies nursing, my boobs are empty and I am simply filling them back up. I told them not everyone does it, but I chose to because it will make me happy to look like my old self again. Luckily they don't know that I was a size A back in my "old self" days, but they will when they are old enough to make the comparison. And by then we can have a more constructive talk about our choices.

I have two children. 13 and 8. I told them I was going to get miles removed- which was true but I also had the BA. I didn't want them to worry about surgery so I waited until after to tell them. I just thought that would be the best for my children. Good luck :)

Pre op
So I had my long awaited pre op on Monday with dr. Pugash! After reading through the never ending paper work we finally got down to sizing. Simone brought in two sizes for me ...a 400cc and a 450cc. I kind of felt a little bit gypped because the 400 was actually two implants Sizer's put together to amount to 400 so I never really got a perfect ideal idea. I put one of each on and immediately my husbands eyes narrowed to the 450 ... Typical. As soon as Simone walked in she immediately said to me well you can carry that one very well pointing to the 450 . I know I shouldn't focus so much on numbers but 450 seems like such a big number for me . I should note I'm 125-130 lbs and 5.6 in height , athletic build . Finally doctor pugash came in and same thing ... Was pretty much was set on the 450s . I asked him what he would recommend for me and he said this was my choice and not up to him. I'm assuming he wouldn't of recommended these two sizes if they didn't feel that they were a good fit for me right ? However This wasn't the answer I was looking for. I like straight answers lol. After about 10 minutes he had me re dress and came in and went over post op information. Basically saying to me were done with sizing , let's move on . I missed most of the info and continued To fixate on size . After his little spiel I said to him "well you may as well make note on my chart that I will go for the 450s and he replied I thought we already decided that... so I guess that was his indirect way of saying you should go with the 450s . I know I shouldn't get hung up on numbers but I sure hope I can carry that size ok it just seems so giant. I see a lot of girls who have gone to Dr. Pugash about 100 -115 pounds and 5'2 or three who went with 400 so I guess 450 is probably equivalent for my height and weight . Loss of volume will be expected too since I'm going under the muscle. It's interesting he noted to me that no one has ever come back wishing that they would've gone smaller interesting hey ? Don't know if I really believe it but hey. So chime in ladies what do you think does it seem like a suitable size for me ? Should also not me these are high profile. I also do have sag so I'm hoping that this will really pump them up but not too crazy . Ugh this is a hard decision and I have 12 days eeeek

So exciting!! It is such a hard decision but I think you made the right one! They are going to look great! I called the office today and questioned my size again. So they ordered in a set of 300's. I just don't want regret that they are the same or smaller. I already have larger but saggy breasts. So a lift and some upper pole is going to be great. It's like March just snuck up so fast after waiting so long!! So exciting!! Can't wait to see your transformation!!

It's so hard to choose and really hard to imagine what they will look like on you. Are you wanting a D or DD ? CCs have such different results in different people. I have 325cc and I'm a full C small D size but I'm also shorter than you. I'm not sure that helps but you have to figure out what you want and what you don't want?
Good luck with your decision. It's harder than the actual surgery!! Lol

I have mine with Dr. Pugash on May 19! I'm going 500cc mentor high profile :) so excited!
February 29, 2016
Oh wow that's a great size? Did you just have your pre op recently. If you don't mind me asking what are your stats? Is 500 cc the only size dr pugash recommended for you? I find deciding in size is the hardest
February 29, 2016
I am very tall. 5'10" 165lbs for the look I wanted we decided between 475 uhp or 500hp mentors. This will still look somewhat natural on me, as I am an average build but really want that upper pole fullness!!

Excited for you :)
What is your current boob situation? Do you have much tissue left after breastfeeding? How unfair is it, that our breasts end up looking terrible after doing something so wonderful for our children?!
