Let me start by telling you that you are absolutely right to question not seeing a surgeon. Even if she was a nurse, shes not a qualified breast surgeon, and can in no way advise you correctly. Personally, I am not a fan of HMG and their methods, especially their treatment of PIP girls, and I would steer clear (thats my opinion only).

The good that this has done you though is shown what not to expect from a consultation! The examination is normal obviously, but I would really scratch this experience, and try and get in to see some surgeons. THG do a free consult straight with a surgeon, so theyre good to glean info from. If you want to go commercial clinic, I think MYA and My Breast are better. Transform you'll just see some snooty sales woman and have to go back for an actual surgeon (at least that was my experience). And try and get at least one BAAPS under your belt. See as many as you can until you're comfortable and happy with the experience.

Please avoid HMG like the plague.. after the way the awful way they treated PIP's women. Once they have your hard earned money they don't care about you x

 On my first consult, he surgeon said a had slight assymetry (which I already knew) and that 98% of women do..He said i could get a lift on one side, but it wasnt neccessary and 90% wouldnt go for that option..

 My second consult was with MyBreast with William Van nerkierk and OMG it was so diff and he was so good and did lots of measuring and advising (which is what you would expect, right?) it lasted 1 hour and 45 mins and he went through everything in person. The nurse only came in to be a witness while he examined me.I felt really respected by both of them, which was nice. didnt try fob me off you know?

I havent had my surgery yet but speaking on the consultation, itd def be worth going to mybreast for an opinion. my surgey is costing £4350 btw

 Hope your next consult goes better xxx

ps excuse bad spelling/lack of caps etc.. im writing this in a rush :)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I only knew not to take that sort of advice because i read it through this forum! So just goes to show this is a good place to research :-)!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Dontworry, i will be avoiding them after that experience.. From stepping in the door to leaving it was pretty awful. She was not encouraging atall.. The only good from it is she said she would be the one looking ag my bandages, not diff nurses everytime!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Yeah i felt worse coming out of it, i didnt think it would honestly go like that.. I mean yeah fair enough saying about an uplift but the fact she said she wouldnt do just normal implants, i had to have an uplift and if anyone doesnt recommend this then im not getting the best. My boobs arent even that unlevel, i think she was just playing off the fact i mentioned it :-(! Im defo looking forward to other consultations!

Thanks for the advice girls, made me feel a lot better this morning :-) xxxx

Hi, I went with bmi. A BAAPS surgeon. And paid £5600 for a ba . It's goid to have these experiances and you will see the difference between a clinic like that compared to a BAAPS surgeon. Don't be disheartened at least this way you gain more experiance. Xxx

Sorry you've been left disappointed but there are so many surgeons and they will have different opinions. Keep looking and you'll find your match hunny xxx

I'm not even shocked lol. They are just sales pitches!!
and I bet they wanted £500 deposit before you could even meet the surgeon?
Grrrr these companies annoy me, how they can do this to women. xx

Yeah they did @sarahlou22 i literally come out so upset and actually questioning my friend whether i need an uplift when really i know i dont!!! Xx

Thankyou for your nice words @annieritchley and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] :-) a lesson learnt and at least i know HMG arent for me now! Xxx

I went to them too and was a bit annoyed that I'd have to pay up £500 before I even saw a surgeon!! I asked the nurse what if I don't like him? And she said that never happens! Well I've now seen 4 surgeons and hated them all except 1. Plus they were more expensive too. Good luck in ur search :)

How dare she say that. How does she know if the surgeon is right for you. That's quiet shocking actually xx

I know.. I was sooo frustrated with her! The fact i know she shouldnt be advising me about implants aswell annoyed me more! Xx

I went to see 4 surgeons, 3 out of 4 said I needed an uplift as well as implants. I only went to last consultant as I already had the appointment and I'm soooo glad I did!! I was going with the 1 who said I didn't an uplift as he was very convincing!! However the 4th consultant I saw asked who I had seen previously and I was waiting for the sales pitch...... He only went and recommended the first one I saw, from a different company!!!! He actually said mr borghini could do a better job than him with what i needed!!!! I really do advise to see as many as you can. Xxx

Don't know why it's gone on twice?!?!?! Xx
