Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

No Infection!!!
At my appointment this morning, the nurse saw me, and she said the redness along my incision line did not look like an infection. She said it looks like I've been using the peroxide too long. She said using peroxide too long can cause a good scab to start looking worse and start irritating good skin. When the doctor came in, he said the same thing! He said soap and water is my best friend right now and to keep the incisions dry. Such a relief! He said everything looks good for 2 weeks post op.
I was told to clean the incisions twice a day with peroxide and antibiotic ointment. They didn't tell me when to stop so I've been doing that since post op day 3 til today (post op day 13). To anyone about to go through this, if your doctor has you cleaning the incisions with peroxide, I would suggest to ask when to stop!!!!

Infection and weird veins?!
So tonight when I was cleaning the incisions, I noticed my right boob was red and firm. It doesn't look bad and I'm supposed to see my doctor Monday to get the nipple stitches out. Tomorrow if the infection looks worse, I will try calling my doctor and seeing if he could call in antibiotics.. the only antibiotics I had was in the IV the day of the surgery. Kind of freaking out though!!!! Let me know what y'all think.. it's definitely getting infected huh?
ALSO, I've had these weird little veins on my left boob since the bandages were taken off on day 3.. wondering if anyone has seen anything like that before. Hoping it's something temporary, but if not, it's okay! They're small and not that noticeable!

Stomach so swollen
My stomach is so swollen it's insane!!! I look like I'm pregnant. I looked up why, and doctors say that the inflammation from the breasts distended into the stomach area too. Also I was constipated but I've gone to the bathroom, and that didn't even help with the pregnant belly.
Just taking it one day at a time.. I took my first shower yesterday which felt nice!
I'm not allowed to wear a bra for the first week because it might irritate the incisions, but since day 1, I've been needing a bra for support!! Seriously most doctors require a bra, and I would feel much better wearing one, but since it's day 5, I guess I will stick it out and not wear one until day 7.
How does it look?? What do y'all think?
