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.

Almost one month post op!
I have been feeling better each day, but I definitely still get swelling above my incision. It is still flatter than my before, so I don't care. I am curious when most peopl found the swelling came to an end. I would like to wear a bathing suit on vacation in 3 weeks and I hope there is no visible swelling at that point. But maybe that is wishful thinking?
Three weeks post op today
I am now at the point where I don't have the constant slight ache/reminder that I just had surgery. The only times my tummy hurts are when I sneeze, cough, or laugh. Otherwise, I feel good.
When I sleep, I find that I turn on my side. I have put pillows on each side of me to prevent this but I do it anyway. I am worried the breast on that side will lean to the left. LOL! Seriously, I do have some achiness in the breast after that so I need to be careful to sleep on my back. Per my doctor, I only need to sleep like that for one more week.
We took our kids to the park today and I was pushing the twins in the swings. After awhile I noticed my side starting to ache. You just don't realize how many things you use your core for until you are not supposed to use it at all.
I am chomping at the bit to go try on swimsuits for our upcoming vacation, but I still have swelling and I don't want to get discouraged. I am worried that I will be swelling on this vacation and I won't want to wear a swimsuit. I will be 7 weeks post op at that time so hopefully the swelling is minimal.
Only one more week of the binder being a requirement, too. I think I will probably switch to Spanx or something after that because I am not ready to go "cold turkey" with some compression. I will also continue to wear the binder at night, I think.

I love trying on clothes right now. This one used to show my pooch. Now, even with swelling, I will be wearing this out soon!
Provider Review
Dr. Smith made me feel immediately comfortable, and I had read great reviews about him online. He made great recommendations as to implant size and I am glad I followed that recommendation. His staff is very sweet and professional. I highly recommend this practice!
