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.

3 years 4 months post TT, 1 & 1/2 years post final dog ear removal
OMG, how embarrassing - I meant to update my Scar Removal review & posted again on this review. Sorry about that!!
2 & 1/2 years post scar removal - 3 years 4 months since TT
Just wanted to update, promised on for a while, but was waiting till I lose those extra pounds. Oh well, still 15 lbs overweight, but here is my update:
I had my scar revision 2 & 1/2 years ago. Final dog ear removal 1 & 1/2 years ago. The scar healed nicely. Still a bit pink & can see it over my swimsuit. I do believe it will fade with time & still wear 2 piece.
Happy dog ear is finally gone though!!
Good luck to anyone who is going through with scar revision surgery!

3 years & 4 months since TT!!! Very happy!!!
Had trouble updating - wrote a whole write up 3 times & it wouldn't post, so I will try again.....
I just wanted to update to show you how I have healed. My TT was 4/11/11. I had a dog ear removal scar revision a year later. 2nd dog ear removal 1 & 1/2 years ago. I put on weight, but the good thing is that my tummy stayed flat & toned. The bad thing is the weight went to my thighs, flanks, arms, butt (don't mind that too much) & boobs (really don't mind that too much either! :) I do exercise, that that is good. I really love to eat & at 43 I have learned that it really is harder to keep the weight off & also to resist yummy foods!
After all the healing, I am very happy with my results. In the closeup photos of my scars you can see the left side, my good side, healed very well & is a very faint line. Of course that is the side that is hidden under my swimsuit. My right side scar is still visible, but I still wear a 2 piece & it is more faded & I believe will continue to fade.
I just wanted to let you know how a TT 3 years down the road looks. I had a long journey, but not as bad as some I have read about and in the end I am so happy I did this. I remember back before my TT I worked out so hard, lost more weight, etc. but it still did not change the saggy gross skin on my tummy. It is so nice to look down & see flat toned abs - I am just so thrilled!
Good luck to anyone who is thinking of doing this, about to have surgery or recovering. I hope that you will be as happy as I am. My best advice is to really research surgeons, make sure they are board certified - saving $ is not worth a bad result that you have to live with forever (that is not my case, just advice from those who have had bad results after choosing cheaper less qualified PS).
Also be sure to communicate what is really important to you.

Great surgeon, felt very comfortable in his care. Thrilled with my final results. I did have to get dog ear fixed twice & spent 2 summers after surgery covering it up, but everything looks beautiful now & I am so happy I did this!
