- 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.

Loving my boobs!
They have settled in a bit and aren’t as upright and high on my chest. I would say they have dropped a cm from where they were. They still look perky and aren’t sagging at all, but are sitting very naturally in shape. If I don’t wear a bra, they don’t drop which is amazing!
I still have a few areas that pinch me. On my left if I roll on my side there is a pinching I feel on the side of my breast. It’s been in that one place for ages so I’m thinking it’s a suture with some scaring that’s making me uncomfortable.
I had my post op pics at the doctors office this week and the nurses were really impressed with the results. My scaring is looking great apparently and the vertical incision is blending in really well.
I haven’t been so good/consistent at doing the scar treatment. Some days I will, some days I forget.
I am using a silicon gel and just rubbing it on the scars, being topless for a bit while it dries and then chucking a bra back on.
I got the cream from a chemist - it had a sticker on it saying that it’s won awards. There were a few to chose from all around the same price, about $40 for a very very small tube. I grabbed it cos I know people go on about how great silicone gel is for scaring. I wasn’t worried about the scars as I do normally heal pretty good. But I kinda thought that since I’ve gone through the whole surgery, I may as well get the best result I can and not skimp I’m looking after the scars.
I’m not sure if it has helped - but I’m doing it anyway. I still use bio oil to keep them moisturised too. Normally oil in the morning and gel at night.
Oh and the nurse told me to massage quite intensely the area where my inside out suture was as it will help settle the scar tissue. It will soften on its own, but hard massage helps.

The suture is all healed up, there is a bit of scar tissue around the site and my left breast is still slightly misshapen, but it’s getting better each day and rounding itself off.
I started using bio-oil as soon as the tape was removed to help with my skin - I was quite flaky over my breasts for a few weeks and wanted to make sure I looked after the skin first, knowing that I had the reaction to the tape etc. before thinking about scar treatment.

I had an inside incision want to be on the outside and it looks hella gross!
I noticed a big bit of yellow ooze in my tape again. Didn’t think too much of it as it happened before. But then I saw like a clustering of what looked like pimples and the ooze was still oozing. So I peeled the tape back - which was pretty much unstuck now cos of the ooze and saw inflammation.
I sent pics into the doctors office and a nurse saw me the next day. She thinks the redness and pimples is a reaction to having the take on for so long. And the doctor inspected the suture and said it does sometimes happen, it will fix itself.
As soon as the tape came off, the suture popped itself back in and was happy again. I think realistically my skin was just annoyed and needed to breathe.
My ‘post op’ pics that the doctor takes were pushed back a week to allow the suture to right itself.
