the consultation
So, after thinking about it for so long, I finally picked up the phone
and scheduled my initial consultation. When I went to the office, I found
everyone to be very friendly. I love Dr. Stroup--he is just awesome and
not at all like a lot of the stuffy type doctors you run into these days.
He was very nice and really listened to me. Although I had done a lot of
research, I wasn't really aware of how it all applied to me as an individual.
During our 45 minute meeting, we talked about all
of the different types of implants and he made some
suggestions that would help to accomplish the results
I was looking for. I decided on the round implants but
he recommended that they be placed below the muscle,
rather than under the skin. This type of approach would
result in a very natural appearance with all of the
fullness I was looking for but without that fake-looking,
perfectly symmetrical round shape that you see on a
lot of actresses. This approach would also provide more
protection for the implants.
Then, the computer imaging helped me to get a good
idea of how I would look after the surgery. Once I saw
the pictures, there was no going back as far as I was
concerned. I finished the appointment with a meeting
with the financial counselor so I didn't have to even
think about that anymore. And I booked the surgery right
on the spot for one month after the consultation.
I didn't have too many questions after the consultation
but found the staff members very helpful when I did
contact them.
