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.

Long time no see!
I scribbled out my face in these because it's a terrible angle lol. I'm also not posting regular updates anymore since really the only thing left is scare fading but I will still keep y'all updating on that, just less frequently :)
So yeah. Things are going great. On the picture of my left breast you can see a red spot along the incision line. About a month and a half or so ago I had a stitch pop out. It was weird since I was so far along in healing! It actually really hurt at first, and I called my surgeon's office -- they just had me send a picture (so nice not having to trek all the way in since their office is quite a distance) and then confirmed yep, that's a stitch that didn't dissolve, put some cream and a bandaid on it and you'll be good in a few days. And I was! Now that spot just has to fade.
I can start wearing underwires again but honestly, why would I?? I would like to get more slightly-supportive soft cup/bralettes.
Oh, and after surgery I had lost feeling in my right nipple only. That has returned! I wouldn't say it's at 100% back to normal, but probably like 90%.
That's it I think... hope all of you who have had surgery in June/July are doing great!!

Purchased a real bra today...
I'm not supposed to actually wear underwire bras for another 2 months or so but I got super excited looking at them at Target and tried some on.
My current size is... drumroll please!
36B!
I think I could get down to a 34B, I'm just a little out of shape and that band size was a bit too snug around (cup seemed fine, though). :x
In any case, I'm very excited by this!! I also bought this swimsuit in a medium:

No underwire, only molded cups, and it fits like a dream!

it's been nearly a month since my last update!
Hard to believe it's been that long, but then again, not much exciting has been happening!
I can tell that they are still going to settle a little more because my t junction is still a little hard, but overall they have really settled into a nice shape. I started using a real scar cream today. Before I had been using a solid lotion with neroli, which helps a little with scar healing but isn't actually specifically for scars. I'm trying a brand called Body Merry. I will update with how that goes :)
I have also attached pictures of me in JUST a cami! Unbelievable, I never would have been able to do that before lol. This is just a cami from Old Navy with a built-in shelf bra which would have been useless before. I love it. I haven't been brave enough to venture out without a bra yet because I get cold easily!! and it would be a little obvious. But I'm sure that day will come.

Provider Review
Dr. Chun is amazing. She is kind, soothing, and extremely competent. She listened to what I wanted and did not balk at erring on the side of smaller (like some surgeons are known to do). Her entire time at BWH Faulkner took such great care of me. So far, 2 days post op, my results are looking fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing them heal!
