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.

Oh I forgot....
I am using the Palmers oil and Maderma for Stretch Marks still! Massaging the scar with the oil too!
More important I feel it is important for me to clairify why I do not update on a daily basis... I don't feel like it is good for me to take pictures daily so I don't! I prefer to watch the progress slowly so I actually see it happen! I feel like if I take pictures daily I will be disappointed- as I was in the beginning! Once I stopped doing so I actually stared seeing progress, and as you read above I'm loving it!
With that being said I will see you all in a month! :) XOXOX

2wk post-op appointment PLUS pics!
So today is two weeks since I had my surgery!!! I still love my new additions, and have really adjusted well to them. I believe the hubby is pretty fond of them also :)
Yesterday was my post-op check up. I got my stitches out! We had cut some of the steri-strip do to blisters at the edges, but I still notice that I have some sores there :( (see pics). I also do not have to wear my strap any longer, nor do I have any restrictions what so ever! The best part... I can wear any bra I want! So as you can imagine I wanted to go buy a bra! So my amazing hubby took me bra shopping after my appointment, and I didn't just get one bra I got 4 plus matching panties (see pics)! An even better part.... This was my very first time ever buying bras at Victorias Secret! I got fitted whiled I was there, and I am a 32DDD by their standards :) (see pics)! 2 of the bras are actually from Dillard's, and they are size 34D (see pics)! Either way this is a far cry from the 34/36A's I had pre-op :)
Over all I love them! I had stretch marks prior from breast feeding, but I have noticed them getting worse. I was not this big when nursing though. The biggest I got was a 36B. My scar itches... That is annoying! My husband - who recently had surgery and has an amazing looking scar - tells me not to scratch. Rub! It a lot more beneficial! It will soften the look of the scar in the end, and obviously will not break it open!
I will post pics in my new bras later :)

Let's talk about nerves...
I officially have pain... Nerve pain! Anyone else? When my strap pushes down it pushes on the incisions which causes sharp pains from the incision, along the side of my breast, and even along my side! I have to either adjust the tension of the strap, or remove it completely to get relief. No pain relievers help!
Also, I have had a mild rash/dry skin on my upper chest and under my chin since the day of surgery. I believe this is from the was they used to prep me for surgery. It's really itchy today! I was able to shower 48 hrs post-op so I have washed all that away! Hmmm?!?!?
Anyone else experience anything like this? I know anna1989 mentioned a sunburned feeling... I wonder if this is the same thing?

Provider Review
I absolutely love everyone in Dr. Tkach's office! Very straight forward, honest, but funny and welcoming. They don't hesitate to answer your questions and explain every detail to you! I would recommend Dr. Tkach to anyone I know!
