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.

Hello all. I'm a little over 3 1/2 months post op....
Hello all. I'm a little over 3 1/2 months post op. I haven't gained or lost any more weight, and my measurements haven't changed. I have been back at the gym regularly and would say I'm at full strength now. I feel great and I'm so glad I did this for myself.
I have encountered a few nuances that I have to share. First, splitting stitches. I'm still getting then, but they've been limited to the vertical incision on my breasts. They are annoying and have prolonged the healing process, but I realize that it is a result of my body and not the surgery. The other is my breasts have dropped differently. My left is higher than my right, so the nipples are in different positions. Not a huge difference, but definitely noticeable. One last thing is the implant in my left breast. I can feel the edge of the implant at the bottom outer corner of my breast. I called about that and was told it's normal to have the implant show a bit.
My tummy scar is healing beautifully as is my belly button.
A co worker of mine have me some tape to put over my scars to lighten them up more quickly, so I've started doing that this week.
I wish you all very happy healthy holiday season!

Hi All,
So this morning I had a little scare when putting my scar guard on. I noticed I had a hole in my right breast on the vertical incision. I called the exchange right away and the Dr. called me within minutes. She said the scarguard causes the skin to thin and it's probably just a splitting stitch. That is apparently normal even after almost 8 weeks post-op!
I've resumed normal activity, but not quite at full strength. I feel and look great!

Just shy of 6 weeks. I feel great. The skin area...
Just shy of 6 weeks. I feel great. The skin area around my stomache is still numb and my right nipple is numb, too. It's the weirdest feeling. My left breast has not dropped all the way,yet, either. It's taking it's time. Ha! When I sneeze I can still feel the sutures just a bit. I know they are there. None of this is a big deal at all and I would've done this all again in a heartbeat! I just want you all who are reading this to get an accurate picture of what's happening and what to expect.
I started my scar guard treatment 2 weeks ago and that is going good. The scars feel yucky! But I think they will fade and flatten very nicely.
I am pretty much at my normal activity level. I would say on a scale of 1 - 10, I'm at an 8 of my former activity level. I am still building my strength up. It has been several weeks since I've vaccumed and have gone to the gym. Oh! And I'm not relying on my daughter to pick up my son and help me get him in and out of his carseat. She is loving that! ha! My son loves that I can pick him up again.
I plan on keeping up on my reviews, but not as often. Maybe every couple of weeks to a month or so.
Just shy of 6 week pics are getting posted as soon as Im done with my update.

The Dr. was great. Took as much time as needed and was honest and realistic about my expectations. I highly recommend her.
