I thought about having a breast augmentation for over ten years before finally deciding to go for it. It was very important to me to choose a reputable surgeon. I felt the best way to find a doctor I'd be happy with would be from actual patients. I asked a couple of hairdressers, because I know they get the dish from their clients! Dr. Canales' name came up and over and over. They could not say enough about him.
I loved Dr. Canales from my very first meeting with him and I booked my surgery that same day. He is so warm, caring, down-to-earth and yet still very professional.
I had heard that he is very good at helping with size decisions, and this was very true in my case. He suggested rather large implants, in the 500-600cc range for me. I was initially hesitant to go with such a large size, but decided to trust his judgment because I had heard from a few different women that he knew what he was doing.
I did go with 600cc and I cannot believe how great they look. They are not big on my frame at all. Everyone who sees me or my photos always says, "I can't believe those are 600cc! They're not big at all!" Dr. Canales obviously has a lot of experience and I am extremely happy with my result. That means a lot coming from me, because unfortunately I am a very "Type-A", analytical person. It takes a lot to make me happy!
Besides his skill as a surgeon, Dr. Canales has a wonderful bedside manner. I was very anxious before my surgery and every time I saw him, he had a calming effect on me. He is able to make you feel comfortable and put your mind at ease. Not all doctors are able to relate to their patients on a personal level and I really valued that in Dr. Canales.
I would recommend him to anyone thinking about a breast augmentation. Additionally, I will be going to Dr. Canales if I ever desire any other cosmetic procedures. He's the best!

Top Benefits:
Integrity:
Find a surgeon who is honest in his/her assessment of your needs and of their ability to meet your expectations. Be wary of the doctor minimizing your recovery period and telling you just how "easy and simple" everything is going to be.
Caring:
Find a doctor with a good bedside manner who conveys to you that they care about you as a person as well as a patient.
Communication:
Plastic surgery is a process not a single operation. Find someone with whom you can talk easily. It is just as important that he/she understands what you desire as that you understand what they are describing.
Perfectionism:
Find a surgeon who is accurate in his/her evaluation of your needs, precise in the execution of their operative plan, and meticulous in their craftsmanship. Although perfection is unattainable, this doctor will do what ever it takes to do the best job possible without cutting corners, not only to satisfy the patient, but also to meet their own personal standards of excellence
