- 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.

Pictures!
I’m having a hard time labeling the photos without cropping them on here, but I think it’s pretty obvious which ones are before and which ones are afters! I’ve been about 3.5 days PO and took my first shower today which meant I undressed for the first time. I’ve seen what other boobs like right after and thought mine would be scary looking too. But I like what they look like now! Not terrifying!
I think I still have sensation in my nipples but I probably won’t know until all the tapes come off. I’ve mostly been in bed resting. The pain has been minimal since I take my meds regularly. I was given the tip to take a narcotic before sleeping, and it has helped me sleep so peacefully! I also practiced sleeping on my back before surgery and sleep with a mastectomy pillow, so I have no issues.
One thing I found odd is I don’t really have T. rex arms like I thought I would. I can fully extend them no issue but I’m keeping them to my side just in case that’s just the meds talking. I still have some drainage on my right boob. When I showered, I just let the water run off my boobs and washed the rest of my body. Very grateful for my shower stool And the fresh gauze pads I bought.
Next, POOP! I pooped today and I think it’s because yesterday I read about narcotics making you constipated. I realized I hadn’t pooped in days and got some stool softeners + laxatives. My poop was still hard even after taking 4 of those pills. If you have yet to do your surgery, make sure you have the softeners in hand!
Lastly, size. Dr Silver originally wrote that she planned to remove 500 and 450g from each boob, but in her surgical notes it says she removed less than 430g in both. I’m upset about this because I told her I wanted to be as small as possible and she confirmed that a D was possible. I’m going to try to be patient and see how small I get after the swelling has reduced, but that bummed me out. I’ve heard you really only get one shot with insurance. If so, I can’t afford another surgery to go smaller. I’ll ask her why she decided to take less when I see her for my post op appointment.

Reducing from 28J
Here's my story going from a UK 28J to we'll see!
Day 1. My surgery was yesterday with Dr Terri Silver at 7:30 am. I got there at 6. Changed into a gown, peed, took meds, had IV put in me, took to surgery room, given massage foot pads and then put to sleep!
Woke up with littler boobs! Nurse took care of me. I slept in recovery. Had pain. The nurse did something to me. Slept again. Left around 11:30 and got to car in wheel chair.
Had seatbelt pillow to be comfortable.
