- 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.

Hives?? Rash?? Normal?
Has anyone broken out in mysterious hives? Starting 6 days ago, i looked in the mirror and found that I had this rash-ish presentation. Its NOT on the surface of the skin. It is like a webbing of redness and blotchiness under the skin. Its on my from and back. Neck to hips... I've never heard of a latent reaction to stuff?
Has anyone had this mysterious reaction? I mean, if it was an allergic reaction to the surgery/anesthesia/bandages it would have presented sooner right?
It doesn't itch. It doesn't hurt. It fades and gets redder through out the day.

Love being smaller
Its been just over a week since the explant. Its been an emotional journey, to say the very very least.
Everything is still pretty sore and tender inside. My incisions itch like crazy. I can finally lift my arms above my head, but I can't do a subsequent stretch once they're extended. Maybe next week. Still don't feel comfortable attempting yoga or driving.
I got a GREAT sports bra from Lululemon. Its the black one pictured. It clips in the front, and is made so no spillage happens in the 'down dog' pose. Its great, no wrinkly skin creeps out. I originally got some thick hard shelled sports bra, it was the only one I could find in a hurry when I was on my way to have my drains taken out. Ill use it when I don't have incisions.
I think the incisions look fine. There is an incision and a drainage hole on both sides. I think they are staying clean and not oozy. I still can't shower though. Only taking half deep baths.
My breasts feel lumpy. But the lumps hurt, so I haven't tried to massage them. I've been putting "immortelle", Melissa (lemon balm), and Helichrysum essential oils on my breasts. And a little argan oil.
I try to stay away from chemical products. Suggestions besides the essential oils that I'm using? Should I start using lotion? Or wait until the incisions have had a bit more time to heal before I get things like that close to them. I keep the oils away from the incisions.
