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.

One month
I just created a side by side comparison from before my TT and one month post op. Whoa!!! When I get critical of my remaining lumps and bumps I need to take a look at this!! Thrilled with this result so far.
Day 13
Woke up feeling different, more myself today. Perky. Can you stand it? I had another post op appointment and did not really want to go -- the car ride (35 minutes each way) has been distressing. I come home and my abs are in spasm -- tight and painful. One day I dealt with it by taking vicodin. The next time I tried scotch on the rocks. I liked the scotch better. Today I prepared by putting on Spanx higher power (my doc does not use compression), took a vicodin a hour before we left, and concentrated on relaxing my abs during the travel. I arrived home tired, but not as sore. The appointment went well -- doc thought from the looks of things that I was 3 and a half weeks post op, but in reality I will be just 2 weeks tomorrow. I am healing really well!!! So glad for that. Does anyone have experience with recovery without compression? I wonder when I will be comfortable riding in the car? I am beginning to feel housebound and want to get out. Hope all my tt sisters are doing well -- whether recovering or preparing. I love all the support I find here.
Drain OUT!
Yipppee! I got my second drain out and have been cleared to shower. I thought when I got this news I would rush home and jump into the shower. Trouble is, I am beat. I spent about 2 hours getting to the doctor, having my appointment, and getting back home and now I feel too tired to enjoy a shower. Plus riding in the car is quite uncomfortable still -- I use a big pillow between my body and the seatbelt, but it still bothers my incision. Plus my doc does not use compression so I have bothersome jouncing of my tender skin when I ride in the car. It all just takes it out of me. I am back in my recliner and catching up with my RS sisters. Hope everyone is doing well.
Provider Review
I've been happy with all my interactions with Dr. Michaels and his staff. They are very focused on patient safety and very honest about what can and cannot be accomplished with this procedure.
