- 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 Week Post-Op
Has it only been 3 weeks that I've had my precious? A part of me feels like it's been forever and another part of me can't believe they're mine. ????
From the pic it looks like the left is dropping quicker than the right, but when I look at the distance from collar bone, it seems the other way around. Need to get someone else to take pics. Either way, they're dropping nicely (I hope). I really don't want them to bottom out. My PS said I can start to massage but only gently and only for 2 wks.
My little "wounds" (or denuded skin as the docs called it) seem to have dried up nicely especially with the second round of antibiotics. Since I'm staying bandaged for first 4 wks (avoid keloids), I'm back to showering every other day and sponging twice a day (thank God it's winter and I work from home). Though my PS doesn't think showering regularly is just fine, I'm taking no chances.
I'm surprised they feel "squishy" already. Too bad I don't have a S/O or bf to test them out. ???????? Soon enough.
Has anyone tried the scar strips for keloiding, and have they worked? Any ticks that have worked are welcomed!!!!

2 Week Post-Op
It's been 2 weeks and not a single regret. The girls are dropping little by little. I don't "schedule" time to massage, but I do end up massaging no less this once a day. They are so lovely I can barely get over them. On the other hand, I am so much more comfortable with a bra on, that I really don't take time to admission them. I may actually consider finally investing in a full length mirror this summer!
Meanwhile, I'm still having a hard time pacing myself. I feel good when I wake up on a morning and try to do a little more. Well yesterday I eff-ed up completely! I finally had a full night's sleep (11-5 ... Good enough). Got up and did a coup,e small loads of laundry. Washing the comforter was a little tiring since it was heavy when wet but I was still trying. Tried going out for a little happy hour to celebrate a friend's bday. Two and a half hours; that was IT!!! Went home and got into bed by 11:00. Well 2am I awoke in excruciating pain!!!! Apparently the light dancing (sat most of the time and didn't jiggle much) was enough to set the bottom poles of both breasts ablaze. I laid there for maybe 5 mins thinking it may dissipate; then decided not to fool myself and took a Percocet. A bit disappointed in my recovery because today I'm wiped out. I won't make it through the workday despite working from home (thank God).
Heed my (and my doc's) warning, TAKE IT EASY!!!!
I've added a couple pics. Please let me know if you see any unevenness; it'll help me to focus on the particular breast that may need more massaging. I've also included pics of the bra that I purchased yesterday in a 2-pack from Ross' Dress for Less for $3.99

Excellent find!
Ladies!! Popped in at Ross' Dress for Less this mo Ning randomly and found these beauties! It is sold as a pair and for only $3.99!!!!! Coincidentally my high impact sports bra that I wore immediately after surgery 10 days ago was causing waaaaaaay to much restrictive pain for the last 3 days. My PS suggested "less restrictive" clothing. So Fter 3 days of wearing solely my nursing bra(bra #1 in earlier post) it was time for a washing and diversity.
Ross' location is proximate to Dr. Chiaramonte on National Harbor, MD. This treasure was too good not to share. They are soft, comfy and provide light support.

Provider Review
Dr. Guyan Arscott
Dr. Arscott has a warm and relaxed demeanor. He has remained open and available to each of my phone calls whether weekday or weekend. He's even made it a priority to return may call after 8pm on one occasion and hasn't even operated on me yet! I feel very "at home" with this professional and am excited to work with him.
