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.

Now entering week six
It's kind of amazing, all of the literature talks about six weeks out being when things really start to gel in terms of healing. I'm definitely feeling it in the past few days.
I'm really not feeling much pain. My arms still hurt if I move them in a certain way and my reach up is still limited, other than that, pain/discomfort are minimal.
My sleep isn't great. I'm still taking Tynolol PM at night. I'm almost out of Ativan. May ask for more when I have a follow-up next week, but I think I need to force myself to sleep with out aid.
I'm happy with my arms. The arm pit area still has raised/uneven scars. Dr. said they would even out. They are improving, so I'm confident they will continue to improve. This past weekend I was able to shave in there, that felt good. I've had laser there, but there's still light growth. I've started using the Biocorium everywhere but my back.
My left breast and side breast area is still more swollen than the right side. Another thing to talk to Dr about. But I'm happy with the breast result.
Still not thrilled with the back area. It's healing slowest and doesn't look great. Another thing to talk about with Dr.
Energy-wise I think I'm up to 90%. Waiting to get the all clear for exercise. I've got lots of toning to do. I can't imagine going back to yoga with the arms still compromised, but hiking for sure.

Mindfulness for second plastic surgeries
I think one of my issues with having a harder recovery this time has to do with being a little too confident and cocky about this one after having such an easy time with the first one. My recommendations to anyone having additional procedures is to act like it's your first time ever and pay careful attention to every instruction. I think I was too active too soon and that's impeding my healing.
