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.

Back to normal
I’m 13 days post op and pretty much back to normal activity. I stopped taking painkillers a few days ago and have just had a few twinges of pain in the nipples (which is great because it means I hadn’t lost feeling!) . My incisions are still taped up (I went a week ago to have them checked and retaped) but I’m going to see the surgeon tomorrow to have them removed. So far, so good!
32g to 32c-ish! breast reduction with John Pereira
I had breast reduction and lift with Mr John Pereira at the Montefiore hospital in Hove 6 days ago. He’s a great surgeon and made me feel at ease in two consultations prior to surgery. I went from 32g to around a 32C/D cup. The first five days I had very little pain and no problem sleeping at night which was great and unexpected. I had no problems raising my arms to reach for things either which I had read about being an issue for some people.
Yesterday (Day 5 post-op) I had really bad chest pain and some dizziness. I went to the walk-in centre and they said my blood pressure was really low and recommended that I increase my water intake. I did that and rested and now feeling a lot better again. I think I got dehydrated because I took laxatives as I was constipated post-op (I suffer with that anyway). - something to be aware of!
Tomorrow I’ll be one week post-op and going to the hospital to have my stitches checked by the nurse.
Sorry no pre-op photo without a bra. It all happened so quickly at he hospital when I arrived that I didn’t have time. I’ve added an old photo of me in bra that I took when deciding whether to get the op or not.
So far I’m really pleased I got this done. Planning to go back to work on Wednesday (desk-based job). I’m worried about scarring as prone to bad scars so I’ll be looking for tips on here to keep the scars minimal.

Provider Review
Really lovely and professional surgeon. He put my mind at ease and answered all the questions that I had honestly and thoroughly. It’s only 6 days post-op but so far the quality of my surgery seems excellent.
