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.

Now I understand what drop and fluff means
Everyday is better. More energy, taking more chances with moving my arms above head, more twisting my torso. Less soreness, numbness and shocks. My implants seem softer, move with me, act and look like real breasts. I've started to massage my breasts to prevent contracture and put scar cream. I've got class III type skin so my hopes that the scars will be invisible in a year is not realistic. However the scars are a small price to pay, I'm smiling in the mirror when I look at myself.
Better than the day before
I am one of those people that is taking her time to recover. I needed the 2 weeks off before I went back to work. While I wasn't in pain, it felt uncomfortable for me to wear a bra because my skin is so sensitive and the electric shocks sometimes take my breath away! Walking was fine but going at a fast pace leaves me very sore and achy. I've been going at a snail's pace and I hope to be getting back to my regular pre-BA physical routine of walk/jog and hot yoga. Tomorrow will be my 5 week follow up with my doctor. I'm really hoping she will say I'm healing well.
First day back to work and just for giggles.
I had enough energy to last through my first day back at work. Afternoon coffee (which I don't normally do) helped. I have a desk job which doesn't require lifting anything heavy, reaching, using your arms or hands over my head. With that said, I still felt twinges of pain and soreness when I reached for a book across my desk, carried couple of binders/notebooks down the hall, put more paper in the printe then stapled the frigging report! I came home and napped.
My skin is itchy and is peeling a bit. I normally put lotion after showering but the nurse said to keep the area dry after showering. So I've not put anything on them. I get little pinches/shocks which I think is from my nerves regenerating. My skin is numb-like when you feel your face after having dental work done. I haven't looked at my incisions too closely. I'm also slightly sleep deprived because I'm a side and stomach sleeper. Am I now consigned to sleeping on my back forever?!
Lastly, I am wearing on the black bra with my implants, not the rice baggies. And for giggles, I put on my everyday bra with the air inserts in them.

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
3340 Providence Dr., Anchorage, Alaska
I first visited the doctor almost 9 years ago but didn't go through with surgery. I'm impressed she kept my information after all these years. Dr. Troxel is personable and straightforward, qualities I appreciate.
