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.

I am hoping that the swelling goes down soon! I have a little bit of skin hanging over the incision. I am frustrated with that. I see pictures on here and others don't really have that problem. My PS told me that it would go down. I guess I am just being impatient, but it is a bit frustrating after the money spent to get rid of that problem in the first place!
