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.

5 Weeks Post Explant w/Pics - SO happy!!
It's been 5 weeks and I'm SO happy I had those things removed! Wow, what freedom! I am back to my weight lifting and cardio routine full fledge and feel great. No issues so far. Starting lifting light again at about 3.5 weeks and now lifting the way I was before. I don't do much with chest, but you use those muscles in a lot of lifting sets anyway. I feel great at the gym.
Bras are tough - nothing fits just right yet, so just staying in sports bras with a little padding and that's working fine :) They are retracting quite nicely (I feel) :) Still no real upper pole, but could care less! :)
The scars have healed AMAZINGLY! I had dis-solvable stitches and they were almost completely gone at 2.5/3 weeks. The scars are beautiful. Not raised at all! Thank you Dr. DeMars!!
Anyone still on the fence, I hope this progress inspires you to be free!! :)

Day 11 update w/pics
Hi Ladies. I'm feeling pretty good almost two weeks out! Going for a longer walk today with a friend which will be my first bout of exercise. Going to wear the compression band so less jiggle which seems to cause less pressure on stitches.
Had my first post op w doc last Thursday 6/4/15 and all went well. He thought there might be a seroma (fluid in breast) on rt side so stuck needle in to remove and none there just a little extra breast tissue on rt side so all good. He said I didn't have to wear compression garment any longer. I wanted to ask a bunch of other questions but felt rushed and forgot so didn't. He said to wear whatever bra I felt comfortable in. Which seems to be these Hanes flex fit lightly padded ones. Wearing compression garment in sleep. Overall feeling just wonderful. No pain. Starting light massage w firming cream now and going ok.
Still super flat in upper pole but look pretty good in lightly padded bra. Yay!!!

Day 5 Update w Pics
Happy and seeing improvements everyday! That little tuberous breast is still tuberous but I knew it would be. Maybe it will settle over time. I really don't care. I'm so happy I did this! The ONLY thing bothering me is going to work tomorrow but I think I may have a plan for that ;-). It's truly amazing how fast my body is changing. What a miracle!
