Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Surgery booked for April.9,2016!!! Can't believe...
Surgery booked for April.9,2016!!! Can't believe it's so close. I'm getting really nervous and anxious, and overwhelmed. I'm conflicted with sizing, there are so many great results and reviews out there, and then there are some scary ones. I have chosen Dr. Sheina Macadam in Vancouver, from the moment I met her I was absolutely put at ease, and am fully confident she will give me the absolute best result that is possible. That being said our tastes in breast are slightly different, and she's been so humble and polite in understanding my desires while ensuring the long term outcome is the priority. I knew she was a more conservative breast surgeon (which she reminds me of whenever I get overzealous lol), but I know her capabilities and expertise will result in as near perfect as you can get.
I am deffinately more attracted to a "fake" looking breast (not stupidly so), but given the choice I prefer high, tight and round, to what is considered "natural", although this is what our PS's are trained to obtain for us. And being that I am a 34D now pre op, I am looking to come out a full DD. At my consultation I sized from 250-410, although Dr. macadam was more humouring my want for larger and is deffinately hoping I will tolerate as low as possible as to not stress the lift that will be performed at the same time. This is deffinately the biggest stress right now, and I'm so conflicted, I do not want to compromise the lift at all, however, at both appointment for size I chose the 350 ( would have chosen bigger but am also trying to be reasonable), She is going to try different sizes during surgery and assures me she will allow me as much as my body can handle ( I hope thats 350) I've also been wearing rice bags around at home, I filled ones to the equivalent of 300, and ones to the equivalent of 350, and of course love the 350, as I said I'm larger breasted now so coming out a D, even a very full D I'm afraid will not feel or appear much different and then I'll be very unhappy and disappointed.
I've attached some images, and I'll continue to update closer to surgery date and after of course, I've lived on this website for weeks now and know how overwhelming and stressful all this is leading into decisions and getting closer to surgery, and I found other peoples reviews and details and pictures SO helpful, so I hope this may do the same for anyone of you whose preparing as well. Please comment your experiences and questions or tips and advice! I appreciate it all and will reply back. Thanks!

Update
After a follow up and sizing appointment with Dr.Macadam on Friday I was so anxious and really confused and conflicted on sizing as I explained in my first post. I emailed her both Saturday and Sunday with probably completely opposing thought and questions lol.
It's Monday today, the first day back in the office for them and I didn't expect to get an immediate response but got a phone call from Dr Macadam herself and she spent a half hour of her time answering all my questions and concerns and clarifying every detail and really made me feel at ease and ensure I am fully a part of the decisions that are made, although she is the surgeon and it is really her expertise, she didn't dismiss my wants and was so reassuring. I feel ready to walk into surgery tomorrow! I can't stress enough how important it is to have an open communication line with your surgeon. You are not being rediculous or annoying, you are the one who has to live with these, although it is their handy work and they can also be very effected by a negative outcome, ultimately we as patients will truly feel the result the most. Dr.Macadam is so incredibly understanding and actually encouraging me to continue educating myself and asking questions so that I don't have any conflicting or nagging questions in my head going into this, the more you ask and understand the more confident you will be, and I am truly nothing but excited right now! Not that I ever questioned my decision in surgeons but Dr.Macadam continues to prove why she is the absolute best

So Anxious!!!
Surgery day is getting so close I can't believe it. I'm sure so many of you can relate, it can take months to just get a consult and many more mo the to your actual surgery date and now all of a sudden it's around the corner. I've been asking my PS about different vitamins, supplements and creams I've been interested in of read about. In particular Folic Acid which from what I've read is beneficial for cell development which some have been recommended, also Cocoa butter cream for stretch mark prevention and firming benefits. She didn't caution against any of these however did say that there is no actual evidence or proven studies that show they are of any substantial benefit for breast augmentation patients. But did recommend Bio-oil for post surgery scar care which I already have at home and can tell you from experience this stuff is a miracle oil. After a bad fall on ice a few years ago I injured my face badly, nearly needed stitches and took of multiple layers of delicate facial skin and after just a few months of very gently exfoliating the area and applying Bio oil daily I have absolutely no scar, no dark spots, no evidence I was ever injured. I am a Bio oil advocate for sure.
Please let me know anything you have had experience with that might be helpful. All the advice is appreciated!
