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.

The good and the bad
So i haven't updated for quite a while...
I had a load of new bruising appear about a week after surgery, the tt scar bled for a number weeks and is still weeping from one spot now.
My tt scar is completely uneven. I have swelling behind the belly button and along the right hand side of the tt scar. It looks awful and butchered if is am honest. The only good part is that the flap of skin is gone and doesn't show when i sit down! But the scar is so high that i wont be able to wear a normal bikini. Feels like it probably wasn't worth all of the hassle right now. I could hide the flap of skin with my clothes on anyway, so for me, this was about being comfortable when undressed, and it is worse now than before.
My surgeon used plastic clips to seal the scar which i don't think were good at all! My body spat some out which has hampered the scar, making it wide in places, and i can see them all the way along the scar under the skin. The nurse mentioned she hated them for this reason.
That said, the boobs are fine. They are bigger than i wanted (at a 34E) but they suit my body (or so everyone says!). Although the sutures came out from there too, making the scars appear wide in places too.
I am using silicone scar strips and defo notice the difference when i have forgotten to wear them for a day (the scar appears darker).
I have booked to see the surgeon again on Monday. Last time i saw him, he said it was too early to take any action. He did mention a possible revision later down the line if things didn't improve. I will update to see what the plan of action will be now.

Crumbs down my cleavage... proud moment haha
For the first time in my life i have just had crumbs fall down my cleavage at the age of 31. Happy moment haha :)
So I have done my 2 nights in hospital. Have just had my last drains removed (ouch!!!) and had my binders re-positioned.
Few things i could have done with during my stay that i didn't bring which may be useful advice if you are considering this:
1. Eye mask (lights go on and off and you'll want to sleep during the day)
2. Earplugs (i have an animal sanctury next to my window. Lovely in the day. Not so much at night!)
3. Lipsil/vaseline
Have got all my meds and post operative information. Have had anti sickness tablet for the drive home. Just going to chill for a bit before the journey.

I made it through :) few pics here and will do a proper write up when im home....
Can honestly say though that everyone and everything has exceeded my expectations. Everyone is lovely and the care is brilliant. I am up and walking a little already athough the pain killers are wearing off now....
Hab my breast drains removed... just the tummy ones remain
