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.

1 & 1/2 years since final dog ear removal, 2 & 1/2 since scar revision
I promised an update & was waiting to lose those 15 pounds before I posted, but oh well....here goes: I am very happy with my results. The scar is still visible, but I know it will fade eventually, as it gradually has since I had the surgery.
The dog ear is finally gone! The scar is still light pink & visible over a swimsuit, but it does not stop me from wearing a 2 piece. The left side scar is white & very faint, of course that side is not visible in a 2 piece.
Anyone who is thinking of doing a dog ear removal, scar revision - go for it!

Photos...
Here are the photos. You can see my lower belly is rounded & puffy, but in a few weeks it will flatten out. Would you believe I still have a light bruise from 9 months ago?! That is the dark spot you see on my latest dog ear revision - it will fade, I heard it can take up to a year!
9 Months post 2nd dog ear revision on my tummy tuck
I have hesitated to update my review because I am carrying 10 extra pounds from my usual weight & I keep thinking I will just post update when I lose the weight. Through talking with another dear Real Selfer, I decided to add some photos. I always loved to see down the road updates myself, so here it is...
I think this summer was my worst as far as not looking like I wish in my bikinis/clothes. 10 lbs on me really shows in the flanks, thighs & arms, I am 5'3" so it shows more on me too, even a 5 lb gain shows. I don't look too bad in the photos, but believe me, none of my pants fit & it is visible to me. My tummy is a bit puffy, especially over the top of the scar on my right side. These photos make the scar look worse than it is because of the shadowing in my room, but it actually lightened up quite a bit. My 2 sides seem uneven, but when I lose the weight & am consistent with my workouts, it looks really good. I will not beat myself up over just 10 lbs. - one thing I am lucky about is that if I put my mind to it, I can lose the weight pretty quickly! With the holidays around the corner, I don't want to go into them with extra weight!
I started my workouts again this morning & am going to stick to them! I am also eating healthy & I will post the update after I get to my goal, hopefully next month!
My dog ear did not come back this time thankfully! I am so happy about that.
Hold on for photos - I am having trouble posting them but am working on it..

Very happy with results now - did have to go through 2 revision surgeries (2nd only dog ear again), which is very rare, but thrilled with end result & happy to finally move on!
