Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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 finally got my dh to take some photos. My left nipple has an obvious scar but my doctor says it will subside with time. The right nip scar is barely noticeable. I've been working out at the gym 3 to 4 times a week and feel great. I am taking it very slow on exercises involving the pecs, but am able to do bicep curls, rows, overhead press with light weights with no discomfort. I find that lower ab work is fine, but upper ab work gets uncomfortable fast.
I feel so good now and love how I look in nice clothes and not need a padded bra.
I hope everyone here on the boobie blogosphere are doing well.

28 days post op, 4 weeks. Feeling super!
This past Monday, 25 days postop, I saw my PS for the third post op appointment and was given clearance to do anything I want to, except to let comfort be my guide. Also, no more strap is needed and no more tape on the incisions.
I did a workout at the gym tonight and incorporated a "mini" circuit training workout. Using the smallest dumbells (only 3 pounds!) for lat raises, and 10 pound dumbells for single leg romanian deadlifts. It felt good. I did some pushups, girl-style, but not many because it was uncomfortable. Pushups will take longer to get used to.
I had started with 30 minutes of cardio with a few intervals revving up my heartrate into zone 3. Sweating felt so good. I'll gradually build up my cardio and weight training over the next several weeks.

Sept 15 - 16 days post op.
I'm healing very well. Two days ago, I got the clearance to do aerobic exercise. I had been walking from day 1, but did so very slowly, to keep my heart rate below 100. That was hard to do after day 7, because I was feeling so good. But I followed doctor's orders exactly. Doctor said to ease into exercising gradually and only do what is comfortable. A couple days ago, on Friday, I did a 45 minute walk at a more reasonable (vigorous) pace. I'll go the gym today to use the upright stationary bike so I don't put any strain on my pecs.
I have been sleeping on my side - which feels great for my back. I have an occasional pain from the zingers caused by the nerves healing. I'm taking advil for pain occasionally.
