Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

WEEK 2: Every day is a bit better. Still abit hunched despite best efforts to relax. Feels like there are bowling balls under my pecs...tylenol is my friend as are the static squeeze "massages" my doc has me doing every 2 hours.

WEEK 3: Light at the end of the tunnel! I am certainly not back to normal - still cant quite lift arms completely above my head, and light exercise (walking) makes me tired and feel swollen and frustrated - but I am seeing progress and the implants have started to drop ever so slightly from my collar bone and appear to be heading to wear they belong a tiny bit.
It was feeling like I would never be normal again / able to do day to day things, but now I feel more optimistic. The constant heavy feeling that made walking uncomfortable / my pecs feel like they were ripping out is subsiding to some extent. I am officially not hunched over anymore and I can raise my arms high enough to shave my armpits! Success! (Ill take what I can get haha)

DAY 7: Drs appt. He said everything looked great (I disagree but I know that he means "great for 1week post op" - so that is reassuring. The most valuable thing I got out of the visit was that it is ok to relax my shoulders and back. I had been walking hunched over and with my shoulders up a bit because I was scared of the pressure on the stitches - felt like they were exploding when I relaxed my shoulders. Now that I've stopped hunching I am getting more and more comfortable. The swelling is down a bit but I'm still anxious for them to look more natural and less like round bolted on torpedoes.
