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.

Scars, post op day 26
Just a couple days shy of being 4 weeks post op. Looking forward to being able to work out again!
Posting some photos of my scars - it's amazing how great they look so soon! This whole time I've had minimal to no bruising and they've been pretty easy to deal with. I'm wearing a thin layer of Scar Fade scar gel (provided by Dr C) then putting a strip of Mepitac silicone sheet taping on top. This has worked well for me. I think the silicone gel helps keep it moist and the silicone tape locks that moisture in plus protects against any rubbing from bra or clothing. The tape was around $15 from Amazon and will last me a long time - it's 1.6" wide so I just cut the strips in half!
I do have some lumps at the ends of my incision so doing some light circular massaging to help break up scar tissue from internal stitches.

From my initial consultation through to post op recovery, the expertise and professionalism of both Dr Ciaravino and his staff is unparalleled. He listens you your wants while explaining what can or can’t be done so expectations are appropriately set. I’ve had such a smooth recovery, why didn’t I do this sooner!!!
