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.

1 week revision PO
One week PO from revision!
So far so good! Have been off pain meds since Sunday (4 days PO) and back at work since Monday. I def could have had another 2-3 days off but I made it.
Got my drain out on Tuesday, which hurt! The first 2 drains from my original surgery were totally pain free coming out. Weird.
I'm experiencing quite a bit of swelling in my tummy. Take Bromelain really helps (when I remember) and of course the binder feels amazing. I'm one of those women who holds onto their binder like a security blanket lol.
Breasts are sore and a little achey, but I'm SO happy with the smaller size.
Not much else to update, sorry so boring.
Hoping everyone happy healing and good vibes for your upcoming surgeries ????

*New! Revision!!*
Update!
I had my BA and Scar revision yesterday. This is a walk in the park compared to the first surgery. I'm walking slightly hunched over as I have a lot of burning in one area in the middle. I also have a darned drain again. My surgeon didn't think he was going to be able to lower the scar that much, but yesterday right before surgery he said I'd need a drain cuz the skin loosened up enough to lower it much more! I'm psyched. I only peeked quickly at the incision, no pics yet but I'll get some up ASAP.
I'm super excited to see my boobs! He fixed the asymmetry, putting 460 in left and 510 in right. He also did a little internal work to fix lefties nipple, as it has always slightly pointed towards the left. It's gonna be so nice to not have to carry around those huge boobs! I can't wait to buy new bras too ????

8 weeks and 1 day :-)
How's everyone healing? I'm doing much better, started lifting (although rather light) the other night and I'm SO sore! Ahhh this is going to be hard to start again. I'm so sore from doing less than 1/4 weight of the squats I'm used to, not good! I am SO happy to be able to lift again though.
Now for the bad part. I still hate my breasts. February can't come soon enough. Now I'm thinking I might, possibly want to get a lift and and a smaller implant that I originally had. I never wanted big breasts, the only reason I originally got them on the larger side was to avoid needed a lift, the implant fullness helped me fill them out. But now I'm just so sick of these huge breasts that I just want them gone. I'm naturally barely an A cup, almost no breast tissue and somewhat saggy. I Know very little about lifts, I'd love to hear your lift stories. I'd love to be a full C, what size implant would that be, 350? And why would a PS do one type of lift over the other?
