- 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.

More pics
some side by side pics
These are some pics from day 2, 10, and, 20. I didn't take them with doing a side by side comparison in mind so they are not exact but they are there. I actually don't see much difference between days 10 and 20 which is a bit disappointing but oh well. I must be patient.
I'm so sorry ladies
I want to start by apologising for not updating. I set up a notification on here to remind me to do so at least onxe a week but it is apparently not working as I did not receive any notification. Anyhow this is what's happening so far.
WORK: I went back to work on Monday and everything went well. Not happy about having to get up at 4:30am again but hey we have to work right. Lucky for me we received 3ft of snow during a storm on Tuesday so I didn't have to go to work on Tuesday.
PAIN: I am still not in any pain and am experiencing only minimal discomfort at this point. If I raise my arms up really fast or turn really quickly (like you do when merging onto the highway) then it feels like my ribs are being tugged on a bit but other than things like that I feel pretty normal.
SLEEPING: I have been comfortably sleeping on my side since about day 10 or 11. I don't need to put a pillow or anything under me and it feels more normal every night. I have also laid on my stomach for about a week now although I only fell asleep for about a half an hour on my stomach. My ps said I can sleep on my stomach whenever I feel comfortable doing so but you should see what your ps says before doing it. I was reading on another ps' s website, who uses the same surgical method as my ps and he recommended laying on your stomach for at least 15 minutes every day for the life of the implant and that was starting on day 3 so I figured I would give it a shot and I felt fine so I do it every day. I still do not sleep on my stomach all night though.
I forgot to mention I do still have some discomfort in my rib cage. It is not just under my boobs but my entire rib cage feels almost as though it is bruised. It's fine unless you touch it but has gotten better every day. From what I understand this is fairly normal especially when cautery is used.
BRAS: So my ps told me at my 1 week follow up that wearing a bra was up to me and that there is no evidence that wearing one or not makes a difference in your results so I haven't worn one since then. Every bra I tried made me feel like my ribs were being squeezed. I bought the biggest sports bras I could find and I was still very uncomfortable. So for now I'm not wearing one at all. Lucky for me it's winter so I'm able to hide the nips in my sweaters. LOL! I imagine that once they soften up I will be able to comfortably weara bra but for now it's a no go.
DENT: The dent in my left cleavage is still there but I still have a lot of healing to do so for now I'm not going to worry about it. Most of the info I have found says it usually goes away with time and massage.
MASSAGE: I have been massaging every day per my ps and it does make a big difference in hoe they feel. I only did it once one day because I was out doing errands all day and they definitely felt more stiff. My ps said to do the massages every time I use the bathroom because it's easy to remember so that's what I try to do. I also do it in the shower and in the morning and at night while in bed.
INCISIONS: My steri strips finally fell off when I got out of the shower tonight so today is the first time I have seen my incisions. My left one looks great and my right one looks pretty good. I will attach pics but I have to say they look a thousand timed better in person than in the pics. They have been covered up for weeks now so there is a bit of dry skin on them but in person they look fantastic already.
BOOB PIMPLES:? So I have seen a lot of women complain about getting these little pimple like things on their boobs while recovering from a ba but I always thought maybe they were not washing them thoroughly because of pain or being worried about damaging them or something byt I have out that is not the case. I thoroughly wash my boobs every day with antibacterial soap and I still got these little pimple things on my boobs. I'm not worried about it as I'm sure it will go away.

Provider Review
My consultation is scheduled for November 17th so I have not met anyone in the office yet, however they were very friendly and responded to me right away.
