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.

2 Weeks Post Op
The drains were taken out after a week as not filling very much. I was advised to start washing the area 48 hours after the drains coming out. And the bandage strips have slowly dropped off. I am now left with an initial view of the incisions and drain healing scars. There is one plastic stitch to come out that I can feel.
My breasts are asymmetrical. But the left beast is starting to look a bit less squashed.
I would say it has taken a good 2 weeks to start feeling myself again. Albeit a different myself.
It actually took me 2 weeks to feel up to going shopping. And I still haven't felt up to driving. The general anaesthetic took it out of me big time.
The front opening bras I bought on Amazon have been essential whilst I have been recovering. As well as several pairs of new pyjamas to live in. I have used a clean towel and flannel every day for drying to avoid infection. You don't realise how stiff and sore you are going to feel too.

2 Days Post-Op
I woke up at home this morning and actually managed to get some sleep. I think the mix of the morphine and getting used to having the drains attached to me kept me up on the first night post-op.
So I include a picture from today. You can see the bandaging that I have to keep dry for a week. Hopefully drains come out next Thursdsy.
My left breast which had a 275 silicone sub glandular implant in looks a little pinched. The left breast which had a 200 is more rounded. I am wearing non-wired front opening bras for the next few weeks. The marks on my nipples are just from the bra.
I have taken arnica and don't have much swelling but will see. I did notice some dark purple bruising when I was being examined but that is under the drain bandaging.
Will make more posts at I go.

Well they are OUT
They came out yesterday ???? - all went straightforward. I haven't been able to sleep yet and will send an update once I am more alert but just wanted to share this cute little bag the hospital provided me with to store my two large drains in whilst walking around. I will have to have these in for at least a week so this is coming in very handy.
