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.

Day 24: infection time
Welp. I'm infected. Great.
Day 17- Swelling under the armpits
I found a comfortable way to sort of sleep on my side by using a king pillow as a body pillow. I can only stay in that position for about 10 minutes, but they are 10 wonderful minutes. I bought some vitamin E oil fro my scars but I am not really using it diligently because I am letting my scars form. I've read that it takes scars 6 weeks to fully mature and I really don't want to open any incisions. So I'm taking it easy for one more week before I really return to life as I know it and waiting six before I start worrying too much about scars. I didn't do this to have pretty breasts; I did it to feel better so scars shmars. I'll figure that out in time.
The worst part about right now is the tightness, soreness and swelling under my armpits. Ice helps. I'm off pain meds completely and taking Aleve a couple times a day. I am actually a little surprised by how quickly the time is passing. Yay!

I saw Dr. Barry Silberg in Santa Rosa for my surgery. He is a wonderful surgeon and his office staff is kind and professional. The final results remain To be seen.
