my surgeon measured me himself .. none of the ones I saw were interested in looking at the pictures I had taken with me.. they said it would come down to my individual measurements and couldnt guarentee would be the same as pictures.. I showed them anyway hehe … I think your appointment can be quite quick if you know exactly what you want and it is suitable for you or longer if your unsure and try on lots of different sizes. My second surgeon went through everything with me and all the things that could go wrong as he wanted me to be fully aware .. x
