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 months out

I haven't been on because life moved on. I will say that I'm still so very happy with my decision and my results. I have had some issues with the incision sites around my nipples. There have been pores that I can express pimple-like substances from. My PS insists that I'm spitting sutures but I think it's something else. I may have the incisions revised but I'm not sure.

5 weeks out.

I swear that the majority of my swelling disappeared over the last 10-12 days! The girls have settled nicely. I still have the rippling from the internal sutures on the lateral sides. As the swelling has gone down, it is more pronounced but I'm going to wait it out as my surgeon says to. He says it will resolve & he has not had to revise this issue in the past (Please don't let me have to be the first!). So far I'm so much happier with my smaller size. They are natural & soft & im increasingly pleased with the shape. It appears I am horrible with selfies even if my body. I wish I could actually capture what I'm looking at. I seriously don't understand how anyone takes their pictures. I must have the worst set of T-Rex arms ever.

2 Weeks Out

Pretty happy about my progress. Still sore with swelling & feel best with my sports bra. The one I'm wearing in the picture (Champion) was ordered online, prior to surgery, along with a zip-front solid black Jockey brand & a Natori (not zip but super cute & lower cut). The zip fronts are the best & seem to provide more support than even my old high impact, over-the-head Nike. For sleep I like the moderate support soft Underarmour bras or the strapless wrap I left the hospital in. My doctor said I did not need to sleep on my back & never gave me a specific bra or brand to wear. Even so, I prefer to sleep on my back, propped up by soft pillows. I get sore on one side or the other for too long. I use soma at night to help me sleep. I didn't use it last night & I had a struggle! Anyway, with some swelling still present, I can't tell what the hell size I'm gong to be but I suspect a full C. I tried on an old DD & a D. Don't think any of them will in my future! Woohoo!! I still like my shape. Jury still out on the wrinkling/skin indentations on the side. I have to have faith for now that what my surgeon says of it self-resolving will actually be true within a few months.

I have been so impressed by Dr. Shadid & his office staff. He is so responsive & meticulous, as are those working in his office. I've never felt rushed & my questions were always welcomed no matter how silly they may seem. I had seen his work on a close friend, looked at his reviews & results. Clearly he is a perfectionist who understands his patients. I have had 2 other surgeons in the past & never felt so confident & trusting as I do with this guy!
