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.

Photo Update
Hi!
Full disclosure: Photos have been cropped and/or centered for privacy and/or "intended purposes" only.
While privacy might be self-explanatory, what I mean by centered and "intended purposes" is that if I have to hold my phone at an angle to take a photo because that is easier but I am standing up straight, I figured it made more sense, for the purpose of understanding the results of the procedure, to center a photo that I may have taken diagonally, for example. This would better represent what I actually look like standing up straight (and save your neck some trouble).
Results so far! :D Pain is gone. Just get random twists of pain here or there but they go away quickly. Almost feel too good, trying not to forget myself and over-exert by accident.
If you would like to read about my experience regarding my first procedure, which has been verified, you can find it here: https://www.realself.com/review/breast-augmentation-natrelle-415cc-minimal-pain-healing

1.5 Weeks Post-Op
Hello everyone,
Healing is going well. After the first week, the nerves start waking up, so pain has moved around quite a bit. Sometimes I'll get pain in my armpits or shoulders even. It sometimes hurts around the right incision when I walk without anything (like after a shower). I have accidentally poked one of my breasts with a finger, and that definitely hurt but went away just as fast. But overall, it's around a 2 out of 10. It is completely manageable and I'm not taking anything for it.
Right around the one-week mark, I was experiencing recurring sloshing noises, sounds like air bubbles escaping or moving, when moving my arms upwards or sideways in a way that would push the breasts left or right across the chest. My personal understanding, with the guidance of my doctor, is that this is completely normal (at least within the context of normal healing - always talk to your doctor if you have concerns). It occurred with the original augmentation as well and goes away within a few days. It doesn't hurt but sounds and feels weird. I am currently no longer experiencing it.
I have gained some weight as can be expected during recovery. I am managing it and not stressed out about it. I have not been trying anything on, modeling clothes or anything like that. I just want them to heal well. If you're reading this and you're nervous, either before your surgery or the experience after, remember, it's going to take time before they settle where they need to be. Leave them be, let them do their thing, the wait will be worth it! Choosing the right doctor is of the utmost importance but it is only half the process, and the other very important half is you and the way you take care of yourself after your surgery. I am in my Shefit bras 24/7 and a comfy loose shirt on top. There will be plenty of time to show them off after they heal right! You don't *need* to go to Victoria's Secret three days after your surgery to shop for bras.
On that note, highly recommend Shefit if you're stuck on what bra to go with while recovering. I use the everyday wear and low impact versions because they are soft enough. I wouldn't recommend the high impact one at the beginning because you shouldn't be doing any high impact workouts while you're healing, and this bra is sturdier than the other versions. I do own the high impact version, I have tried it on, and it feels too stiff for how tender and sensitive I am right now. But the everyday wear and low impact bras have been perfect for me post-surgery.
I know photos help a lot, especially when deciding to go through with it the first time around, so I will update soon with some pictures. Questions welcome!
