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.

I went in on Fri for a 1 wk PO check. I was told the implants have already dropped nicely and he didn't want them dropping anymore while the pocket is healing. So my initial instruction of no bra for 6 wks has changed. Now he wants me in something wireless with lift, no side support though because he doesn't want the side of the pockets closed off. So I've been instructed to go buy a granny bra. LOL Super sexy! No sports bra though. Too much support he says. Also, I don't have to wear the compression strap anymore either. I was only wearing it at night, so it wasn't that big of a deal.
I went back to work with restrictions on Thurs. It's been going well. I've been taking it easy. My coworkers have been helpful too. Overall the discomfort is definitely improving. I stopped taking narcs (taking at night only) on day 3. I'm still taking the robaxin around the clock, along with ES Tylenol. I tried stopping the Celebrex since it was crazy expensive and I was out of my rx (almost $6 a pill!), but I think I need it on the days I work, so I refilled it. I haven't been cleared to take ibuprofen or Aleve for at least another 2 weeks. My PS is very conservative when it comes to controlling bleeding risk!
I'll try to get some new pics up. I'm very pleased with how they look!

Had my surgery yesterday afternoon. I got some...
Had my surgery yesterday afternoon. I got some propofol and fentanyl in my IV and the next thing I knew I was in recovery. And oh boy was I in a lot more pain than I was bargaining for. Not gonna lie. The CRNA said that their PO nausea rates are at about 1%. Of course I was in that 1%. I knew I would be. Everything makes me nauseous. No vomiting though! It took me awhile to get up and out of there. Every time they'd try to sit me up I'd get dizzy and hot and more nauseous. I slept the hour drive home and pretty much the rest of the day. I've been keeping up well on my muscle relaxant and zofran for the nausea, but I didn't get up the nerve to take any Percocet until bedtime. Too bad I don't tolerate it well because it sure helped the pain. I slept good at least!
My pain is improving today. It's mostly in my sternum. And my ribs. Jeez! They are tender, all the way down! I've also been taking arnica and eating pineapple. Hopefully that, in addition to the Celebrex I just took, will help.
I head in for a post op check this afternoon. My PS is going to show me how to move the implants. It doesn't sound fun. The girls are looking pretty good though, considering. They look just like what I would look like with initial milk engorgement back in my breast feeding days. I have no bandages on. Looks like my incisions are superglued. I'm only wearing the compression strap thingy. No bra for 6weeks with the exception of the built in shelf type camis if I want. I was thinking I'd end up with 340cc, but apparently I have really wide boobs - BWD of 15R/16L! With a rib cage of 28, that seems big! No wonder bras don't fit me well. Anyway, ended up with 420cc mods!
I'll try to get pics up later if I'm feeling up to it.

Stupid upside-down pics. Why does it do that?
