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.

Everything is going great! The scars are taking longer than I would have liked to heal, but they are healing, none the less. I used Mederma in the beginning, then moved to vitamin E ointment, and finally Vitamin E Oil. I think I saw the most progress with the Oil, but at this point I'm just waiting for the redness to fade from the tape tearing my incision earlier on, and the breast removal scars...though they don't matter as much since I still have half a nipple on both sides...that will always be visible.
Overall I'm still happy, it's WAY better than it was, but it'll never be seemless.
Feel free to ask questions!

Week 6
No more binder! w00! I hate that thing :P Wish I knew what purpose it was serving...on the medical level. I also got approval to start using my Mederma. Not that I know what it would look like without it, but with the Mederma, good parts of the incision are turning out REALLY good so far. Even some of the bad parts are turning out ok. I hope it continues this trend.
Week 5
This week was pretty uneventful. My breast has stopped draining, and my areola is healing up well (I guess...never seen anything like this, and couldn't find pictures anywhere). Before it stopped, I did have another spot on the breast incision start leaking a little; about 1" to the right of where originally started. :(
