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.

Need a scar and breast revision
So as most of you know, i have been having problems with my girls about a week after surgery.
the muscle tension has not gotten better but it has gotten significantly worse! I have pain in my chest if i extend my arms above my shoulders. I have pain in my chest whenever i flex, intentionally or not.
The crease (as shown in above photos) has only gotten worse and is very prominent now and well noticed by everyone.
My scars DO NOT rest in the fold of my breast. They are very raised, red and are now considered "keloid" scars! They are very irritable, red, sore, painful and itchy ALL the time!
I've been having pain for a while now and have contacted my doctor several times about the issue and he says "wait till after your pregnancy and see if it "fixes" itself"
Guess what?! It didn't.
i contacted him again about the issue and he says "wait till your done breast feeding for 6 weeks and we'll talk about it then". So, I did.
I've contacted him recently and sent photos of my problem. They agree it has gotten worse and want to call and consult with me about it.
They want to call and consult with me August 3rd! Almost a month away!
But I guess since i can't make it out there anytime soon, that will have to do..
i honestly don't want him touching me again, i'm afraid if i let him try to fix it that ill just be right back to square one and have to do this all over again. And thats not going to happen.
Im so sad. I was hoping id be lucky and only have to have this procedure done once, and now i need a revision along with a scar revision as well.
I thought i did perfect research, i looked him up and he was the best in the state.. i don't know where I went wrong here.
[RS bleep] happens I guess..
ill post pictures when i can
Has any of this ever happened to any of you here on realself?
By the way, my doctor is James Vogel out of Maryland.
