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.

Scars on 1 yr ann
Not sure if this is normal but I notice the scars have faded except on the edges. They aren't bad - mostly raised & not red anymore.
My last follow up MD told me to put hydrocortisone cream on them daily for 1 week x 2 months and if I still needed more I could come in for a cortisone shot.
Anyone have this issue?

Smaller Boobs - Bigger Life 10 weeks post-op
What everyone says is totally true! Breast reduction inspires major life changes. Its 10 weeks out & I've lost more weight (don't ask I don't use a scale anymore). Gone down 2-3 pants sizes and no stopping now. I actually wore a tight tank top with jeans today lol...but here's a photo that highlights my changes.
Breasts look great says my PS - massage therapist to thank for that add-on! Dissolving staples almost gone (feels like 1/2 tiny grains or rice under skin). Feel like the side boob could be smaller but I still have weight to lose so I'm optimistic about that.
I feel great!

TT next?
Not that I want to have surgery any time soon and even though my recovery was amazing - I realize there are no short cuts! I suppose with unlimited money I could always choose surgery over diet & exercise...but if I can enhance my recovery or avoid major complications by losing as much weight as possible before having an abdominalplasty...why wouldn't I?
My doctor quoted $7800 (included everything) which means between moving/selling and probably needing a new car next year...it might be a bit before I can afford it! I have to plan my post-op supports as I live alone with kids half time as well.
The beautiful thing is since the divorce is that I get to make all these decisions about me without worrying what my husband thinks or will support. Even if I had known a breast reduction would be so affordable with insurance - and recovering while married would have been easier in many ways - it never EVER would have happened! I never felt like I could be sick without causing major inconvenience to him since the first month of marriage. Take time to rest before you're sick? Unthinkable! Oh yeah he probably took my Crohn's personally too.
So anywayI'm down to 182 from 205 lbs since January. Bring on the low carb once again! And though my PS said best if I lose another 10-15 lbs - I think I'd like to lose more and be around 157 (20-25 lbs) before I commit. Then I know I've put enough healthy routines in place to do well! Course talk to me if I'm 172 in a year! Might take that back lol...
Its been a hard 2 years since the divorce even though it was my choice. As most single moms in their 40s - - I've taken a big hit in the wallet & self esteem departments. Depression & anxiety causes spiritual stagnation & isolation further preventing us from our dreams. I have always put my kids first but now I think I can find a way for all of us to go first together. This year I see how much my unhappiness affects their happiness. Its not just about the end of a marriage.
Its about allowing your full self to emerge out of the shadows.
