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.

Scar revision
I saw my surgeon Ivo on Monday 10 October and he is going to do a scar revision on my right arm. The scar is very rigid and stands out. The photo doesn't really show it that well but is about 6 cm long from my armpit. That will happen on 30 Nov. So fingers crossed that it will improve the look of my scar. It does mean more scarring but as it is on the inside of my arm it won't be visible unless I lift my arm up.
Scar pics
It is now eight months since my surgery and this is what my arms look like now. Not happy with the look of my arms but some of the sagginess has gone so they look better from that point of view.
On my last appointment in July with my surgeon Ivo he has said that he will do a revision on the scar on my right arm but not the lumpy bit at the elbow end. I will see if he can improve on that.

Do not view new pictures if you are squeamish
I have taken my last antibiotics today and I had my staples removed yesterday (Fri). I feel a bit unsupported without them, they were like a safety blanket. My husband counted that there were 45 staples in one arm and a similar amount in the other one. I have posted some new pictures but I warn you that they aren't pretty.
Ivo very happy with how it looks, says it is going to plan. Should be able to use scar cream and silicone tape in about a week's time once there are no open wounds. Feeling very sore and tender still and in some parts my arms feel numb.
I know the latest pictures look horrendous but they are pretty much on a par with other pictures that I have seen.
I will now only be posting on a weekly basis as think it won't really show dramatic healing on a daily basis.

Provider Review
Ivo is very professional and friendly. He has answered my emails promptly and called me at home several times. The price that I have paid includes everything from surgeon and anaesthetic fees, overnight stay in hospital, compression garment. All follow up and aftercare appointments and if I am not happy with results then Ivo will do revision at no further cost to me.
