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.

6 Year Mark
Hi everyone!
It’s now 6 years post-op and I still love that I went through with my operation and the dog-ear touch up (scar extension). I’m currently a 32D and weigh about 158 pounds last I checked. My breast size does fluctuate a little with weight gain and loss, but not by much. Tenderness and soreness went away maybe around the 1 year mark after my second surgery. I still have numbness in certain areas along the scar line, otherwise I can feel everything. My scars have really lightened up and I personally am content with the way everything looks! In the pictures I’ll be adding, you may see some bumps on the nipples, but that’s just scarring from when I had my nipples pierced before my first surgery in 2018.
Side note, I haven’t had children. So I can’t add anything about breast changes due to being pregnant and/or breastfeeding.
If you have any questions, please ask. I updated my notification settings, so I’ll be alerted to messages/comments. I remember first joining RealSelf when I was researching before and after pictures of breast reductions. It was rare that I’d see after pictures passed the 1 year mark, so I hope this helps anyone that is curious about how scarring and breasts can look years down the road. :)

Post dog ear removal
Here’s more pictures from my surgery from November 2019! I love the results and I’m so happy with how everything turned out. I’m now even more confident and I even went down a bra band size. I also have lost 65 pounds since my original surgery in May 2018.
Dog ears are removed!
I had my surgery on Nov. 20th and I’m very happy with the outcome. My surgeon also got rid of a scar from my original reduction from an incision that didn’t heal well. I’ll post a few pictures here, but I’m going to write a separate review with more information.
