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.

I can't believe it's been over a month now since...

I can't believe it's been over a month now since the surgery. I am still loving the new girls; and I can finally sleep on my side comfortably without waking up regretting it! I will upload pictures tomorrow. All the incisions are healing nicely, no openings. Scars look great. I think I got the last piece of glue off today.... Crazy.

One nipple still has no sensation, and there are times when parts of my breasts go numb. I know this is normal, because the nerves need time to heal. I am happy with the results regardless of if I get full sensation back or not!

As you may have read, I had an allergic reaction...

As you may have read, I had an allergic reaction to the steri strips. Anyone else have this happen? I'm wondering because I am now peeling all along my incisions where the redness was. Just started today but you can tell by looking at it that the entire area will peel. It's just the top layer of skin, like a sunburn. It is the absolute craziest feeling having boobs peeling, and it is so odd to have it peel off on a numb area because I can just bARELY feel it.

I saw my plastic surgeon for my follow up today....

I saw my plastic surgeon for my follow up today. He said it definite wasn't an infection, just a bad allergic reaction to the steri strips! Redness is almost gone... I have a few stitches spitting but he said not to mess with them and they will just fall out on their own.

He also said next week to start massaging the entire breast (ill be 4 weeks post op on the 16th) to soften up the tissue, and that I can start wearing underwire bras already.

He removed 516 grams from the left, and 466 from the right. They did test all the tissue, and there is no cancerous tissue in there at all. Good to hear.

We took my first set of after photos for his use today... I wish I could show you all those! They had a shadow image of my before pictures, and I stood in the same position, they lined me up with the before and then took the after photo. You could see the shadow image on the actual photo... Omg. What a difference! Up until now I couldn't tell the true difference; I knew they were a lot smaller I just didn't know how much. I am so happy.

I go back in March for a follow up again. He said in June or July I will need a mammogram to have a baseline for the future.
