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.

I went to Victoria's Secret this week (exactly 3 weeks post op) and got sized! It was so great to have options and feel like a woman :) I was sized at 34C. I tried 32C on but a bit tight around and I like to have options on the 3 clasps. I also tried on 32 and 34D but the cup seemed a bit too big. It was a light push up bra! I'm ready to go back and buy more but they are super expensive. Just wanted to update you all as I know some had asked what size I ended up being. Happy Holidays!

Over the weekend I noticed small lines/cords running vertically under the skin under below my incision area. I was a bit concerned and it was on both sides. I called my PS today and he said it's "Mondor's Disease" but not to worry. Said that it should go away and that some patients will get this after BA. He recommended using a heating pad or warm wash cloth to help break them up and ibuprofren. Has anyone else experienced this? Here's what I read on it:
Mondor's Disease aka "Mondor's Cord"
Mondor's Disease / Mondor Cord occurs occasionally after breast augmentation. It is an inflammation of a superficial vein beneath the breast (technically described as thrombophlebitis of the thoracoepigastric vein). This may present as a tender cord, usually running vertically below the inframammary fold. Treatment usually consists of supportive care including warm, moist compresses and anti-inflammatory medication (aspirin or ibuprofen). Spontaneous resolution usually occurs within a couple of weeks. The condition gets its name from Henri Mondor, a French surgeon (1885-1962).
Mondor’s Cords:
Mondor’s Cords, sometimes called Mondor’s disease, is a benign condition that can occur two to four weeks following breast augmentation. Tender vertical cords develop beneath the breast from the inframammary fold downward. They are veins (thoracoepigastric veins, to be precise) that have become thrombosed (clotted) and inflamed. They are not an infection.
Treatment is supportive with warm (but not hot) soaks directly to the cords with aspirin or ibuprofen as needed. The cords will disappear on their own within a few months. They were named after Henri Mondor (1885–1992), a famous French surgeon who originally described them.
There are pics online as well that basically match what I'm seeing under my breasts. Just wanted to share and see if anyone else experienced this.
