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.

9 days post op
Hi guys,
9 days post op now and I think my recovery is going well, it’s hard to tell when you’re not sure what to expect. My incisions and wounds from the electro-coagulation treatment seem to be healing ok, the holes on my areolas are terrifying and I’m trying not to look at them too much. They’ve had a little bleeding but minimal and didn’t last long. Thing I’m struggling with most is having to start picking off the glue on my incisions, I’ve been advised to start doing this everyday and it makes me feel really really weird even though I can’t feel it and it doesn’t hurt!
Finished my antibiotics on Sunday and haven’t taken any painkillers since then either. Have felt quite nauseous and dizzy for 3 days but my surgeon thinks this may be because I pushed myself a little too much a few days after surgery or because the drugs are working their way out of my system. Really hoping I start to feel better soon nausea wise. Can’t complain about pain in my boobs as there isn’t any really! They feel tight sometimes and my left incision can sting a little when readjusting in the night but apart from that no troubles with pain.
Apologies for lazy photos, feeling exhausted tonight so took photos sitting down.

Day 4 post op
Day 4 post op and Christmas Eve!
The last few days have been tricky in terms of discomfort, feeling nauseous and not being able to go to the toilet for a no.2. I could have cried happy tears when I finally had a bowel movement yesterday afternoon.
Feeling so much better today after my dressing removal and shower. I have obviously been in pain since surgery but I think what I’ve been struggling with most is the nauseous feeling after general anaesthetic, also taking codeine as a painkiller I believe is making that worse. From today I’m trying to manage my pain with paracetamol and ibuprofen whilst of course finishing my course of antibiotics.
I was extremely nervous and emotional to have the plasters off and see my boobs, incisions and nipples after having the electro-coagulation treatment but I was pleasantly surprised even though I know my boobs have a way to go yet. As you can see in photos, my areolas look like I’ve been shot with a BB gun and they’re a little low but as my boobs drop and fluff I’m hoping they’ll form into a nicer shape. Can’t tell you how much better in myself I felt after a shower and hair wash. My virtual consultation with my surgeon went well and he’s happy with how my boobs are looking 4 days on from surgery.
Christmas Day tomorrow so hoping to feel even better.

Day 2 post op
Rest of yesterday (day 1 post op) was up and down, I did move around the house a little but couldn’t do very much. It’s so tricky to take a deep breath as feels like someone is hugging you really tight! Have added a few photos in my compression bra and band.
Day 2 post op today and I slept ok last night, although I annoyed myself that I left my work alarm on so that woke me up at 6am. Went back to sleep pretty easily til 8:30am. Woke up in quite a lot of discomfort, chest is feeling really heavy and tender and the added compression band is awful. I was hoping I’d feel a little better this morning after reading other’s reviews but I understand everyone’s healing and recovery is different. If anyone has any recovery tips they would be warmly welcomed. M x
