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.

Week 4
It has been about a month since the procedure. More 4 week/28 days really. It's been great.
I wear Spanx here and there.
Not much swelling.
Exercise, I can run (6.0mph) 2 miles but am grabbing to my boobs for dear life. I think I am going to give the Victoria Secret Sport Bras a try..
Weight wise I am down to my post op weight.
Measurements: My waist is an inch smaller from pre op, as well as each thigh has gotten slimmer.
Waist: Pre op 28 in; Now: 27 in
Thighs: Preop 22.5 in; Now 21 in
Breasts: the swelling has gone down, but they are still fuller than before.
Again, recommending this procedure 100x over. One of the better decisions I've made. :D

Week 3
Week 1 - Addendum: Compression Garment
Compression garment - I have the Sculptures Compression Wear Model Sc- 220.
This garment is comfortable with the exception of the bulkiness at the thigh portion. Wearing them under jeans has been a nightmare (skinny jeans). So instead, I'm wearing skirts and parachute pants for now. Underneath my scrubs, again they are feel bulky at the legs.
I ordered a second garment except the model SC - 210. This doesn't have the zipper all the way thru the garment, reducing the bulk at the thighs, hopefully this will allow me to wear jeans!
I am wearing the garment 24/7 - unless showering. When I have to wash it (since for now I only have 1) I substitute it with a Spanx garment.
As for bras. I read underwire and tighter/regular bras is not good for fat transplants (until 4 weeks or so) since the pressure kills circulation to the transplanted fat cells, so I've been using maternity bras. They have great support at the bottom and shoulders and the cups are softer. (Same band size, larger cup.) I also sleep with the light sports bra that was given to me by Dr Kaplan.

Provider Review
Dr. Alex Kaplan
Comfortable. Dr Kaplan was very informative with the procedures and very thorough with what he was planning to do. He also offered his personal phone number if anything should go wrong. I would definitely recommend him.
