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.

3 Week Recovery Update
Hello!
I am 3 weeks into recovery and I am already really happy that I underwent the procedure.
I had my drains removed 5 days after the operation. That was a painful experience, at least for me, others have said it wasn't a big issue. The doctor had to cut some stitches and make it easy for them to be removed. That was pretty painful. Then when the drains were pulled out, that was a type of pain that I have never felt before. I had about a 7-8 inch section of the drain in me through my armpit. After they were removed, I just had gauze on the entries for about 3 days.
I wear the compression vest 24/7. I take it off for showers in the morning and that is pretty much it. When I left the hospital, they had these foam pads over my chest, I used those for about two weeks until my second follow up appointment.
Everything is healing well. My left side looks perfect, good contouring with everything and there is little scar tissue and swelling. My right side is more swollen. There is a hard scar tissue mass under the incision. I have been massaging the area and it seems to be going down.
My range of motion is getting better. The only thing that I am still getting used to is when I lift my arms all the way up or use my chest muscles. Doing these things tends to pucker my nipple and I think my body is still healing and getting used to the changes.
