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.

I am having surgery on Monday (3 days from today)
I have been wanting implants for 24 years.
I am thinking 600 CC, but possibly 700CC Gel implants.
The doctor is going to see if the 700 cc's will look good on me, if not then 600 cc's it is.
I don't want to look obnoxious...
So I am nervous, the nurse Tammy (she's super great) told me that if I wasn't nervous they would be worried.
Let's see, what to tell you...I was debating on the breast lift as well, but I am too scared to have them cut around my nipples like that and $7000 is A LOT of money for me...
I am hoping the implants will lift them a bit. I am looking for that sexy cleavage.
They combined the consultation and the pre-op visit in one since I am 4 hours away, which I thought was wonderful of them!
Thank you to RealSelf I saved money on the operation and the consultation!

One day post-op

This was the day after I cam home. The most pain was in my right breast, but I think the seem of the compression bra was a little too close to my incision. Only other pain was when I would stand up. The pressure on my incisions caused pain. A low dose of pain medicine is helping just fine.

3 Days Post Op - YAY Shower!!!

Felt SOOOOOOO great to take the compression bra off!! My husband helped me with my shower, he held the shower head and I washed off as best I could using as little water as I could, for fear of getting my incisions wet. We made a good team.
My butt is starting to hurt from laying down so much, but I'd rather take it easy and not hurt my implants. I have a step stool that I use to get things off the counter or from the fridge so I don't reach too far or too high.
Pain is very minimal now. Switching from pain pills to Tylenol. Most of my pain is from when I stand up and put pressure on the incisions. Otherwise, it feels like I need to breastfeed!!

Everyone at the office was super nice, since the first e-mail! Dr. Scheu made me feel comfortable, and was great about answering all of our questions.
