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.

BA 9 month / Revision 4 week
It’s been 4 weeks since my revision an 9 month since the original BA.
I’m feeling pretty good after the revision. Still trying to sleep on my back, but I have rolled to the side a few times. I notice an uncomfortable pulling in the left (revised) side when I sleep on the right side, like gravity is putting pressure on the incision.
I got the tape off last week. The scar looks pretty good but it feels really firm and bumpy. Also there is a slight tuck in it, which my PS says will go away when the internal stitches dissolve.
Sleeping in an underwire bra has been the worst part. I’m finally getting used to it now, but I hate washing my bras so often.
I feel like they are overall much more symmetrical and the scar placement is in the right place now (was very high before).

I tried to get the same angles and poses as the before pics
Revision Day 3
Well, revision surgery was fast. Being awake was super weird. They strapped my arms and legs to a table (like a cross) and put up a drape between my face and the work area. The table rocked and pivoted so he could get a better angle, so good thing I was strapped down! They gave me a couple of shots, like at the dentist. I didn't feel him slice me open or stretch open the incision, but I could feel pressure as he poked around. A few fines I felt a sharp poking pain, and he'd quickly add more drugs to make it disappear. I was worried it would be traumatic but it wasn't.
He only did one side, which surprised me. I'm glad that I was awake because I was able to question that decision and talk about it before he stitched me up. They even let me get up and look in the mirror to see the symmetry and why he made that choice.
Afterward I felt great, so I made my husband take me out to brunch....where I fell asleep at the table and then threw up.
Recovery has been uncomfortable. The stitches hurt, standing up is difficult, I'm back to my pillow nest in the guest room. I worked from home both days and even a tiny bit on surgery day. I'm able to get by with just Tylenol so I can work productivity and drive my kids to school
(Saving the good drugs for bedtime). The 24:7 underwire bra part really sucks. Plus, I feel like I need compression, so I'm actually wearing TWO bras, one for the underwire anyone for support . There is something I never in my life thought I'd need!!
