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.

3 1/2 weeks post-op: I feel GREAT! I am so happy...
3 1/2 weeks post-op:
I feel GREAT! I am so happy I did this and it was all worth it!!! I had my 3 week post-op appt last week and the tape is off. My incision is nice and low, but raised up right now which I guess will flatten out some. I was able to get rid of the awful binder and don't need to wear a secondary compression garment. I have no swelling and Dr. G said aside from the whole blood clot issue, I am healing up ahead of normal and am looking great.
I got professionally fitted for a bra yesterday (they said my swelling was pretty much gone and my cup size would stay the same, just that things would settle) and I am a 32DD or a 34D! I couldn't believe it, originally I wanted to be a 34C, but this doesn't seem too big. I love "the girls". I threw away all my old bras and it was the best feeling ever! It is so nice to be able to wear clothes without a bra and have boobs and cleavage instead of looking flat.
I have been sleeping much better, on both sides now. I need to remind myself to stand straight, my shoulders hunch now I think out of habit. I am wearing silicone pads on my incisions and will wear them for 6 months for the scarring.
I weighed myself today for the first time in a couple months and I am less than what I weighed at the beginning of summer. I really am going to take some after pics tonight and post them.

20 days post-op: Wow, I have been on an emotional...
20 days post-op:
Wow, I have been on an emotional roller coaster. It is hard to not be able to do all the things I used to be able to do and sit and watch other people do them for you or they don't get done at all. I have been feeling much better physically though. I can sleep on both sides but still wake up with a sore lower back. I still have a very small appetite, my stomach just can't hold very much. I haven't had to take any meds except the occasional tylenol for lower back pain in a long time.
I have my 3 week post-op appt tomorrow and Dr. G is supposed to take off the tape covering my tummy incision. I can't wait for that, the tape is so stuck on it pulls my skin and hurts. I am a little nervous to see my scar. It looks pretty low, it should be hidden under a bikini bottom. I still have some stretch marks on my tummy, but I knew those wouldn't go away before I did this. I think and hope tomorrow is my last day of wearing this horrible binder. I can't wait to get rid of it!
One other gross thing, the spot where my drain was has scabbed over and some of the tape/gauze is caught in the scab and pulls at my skin. I think the drain was the worst part of this whole surgery, other than the blood clot thing.
Tomorrow I will take pictures and post them, I have been waiting until the tape is off.

My experiences so far have been great! Everyone at Dr. G's office is so helpful and friendly. Anytime we had emergency questions, we were able to call Dr. G's cell and speak with him immediately. Dr. G really knows his stuff and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a tummy tuck or breast aug.
