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.

Two weeks out

I'm pretty sick of wearing my sports bra but only have two more weeks to go. My implants are still pretty high and firm. I can sleep on my side and have been able to for a couple days. I am defiantly stiff when I wake up. I have complete sensation even around the scar. I hate getting cold as my nipples are super sensitive. They ache all the time but are worse when I get cold and by the end of the day it's just about unbearable. Feels a lot like the first weeks of nursing when the nipples are raw.

End of day 6

Maybe I didn't read reviews thouroghly enough or maybe I'm a big baby but I feel pretty crappy still. I was hoping to have a turn around day five and feel back to mostly normal by now. Instead I'm fatigued and in general running about a pain level of 2-3. I have never much liked wearing a bra and having to wear a sports bra 24/7 is a bit bothersome. I know that once the pain and discomfort fade I will be thrilled to have had this done. I love the changes I already see in the mirror but I miss picking up my kids. I am always super busy and productive and feel like a complete lazy person. Sorry for the complaining but the reality of any surgery is there is some down sides to it too.

5 days post op

I'm off all meds except Tylenol as needed. My range of motion in my arms is back to about 85% with no discomfort. I'm only uncomfortable after I have been sitting still for a while or after I wake up. I'm still super tired. My biggest complaint is that my digestive system is a wreck. I feel utterly sick all the time and everything I have tried has not helped. I rarely take even Tylenol so I'm sure it is because I was on pain meds and Valium for 4 days. Blah! Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Dr. Restifo seems to really know his stuff. I didn't have an amazing connection with him when I first had my consult but his staff spoke wonderfully about him. They all seem happy to be working with him, coming from a health field, that speaks volumes to me. I have seen his suture work and some of his augmentation pictures and he is a true artist. I would rather pick talent over personality compatibility any day.
