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.

Me
So, this is what is left. And I'm very happy. I'm guessing they are swollen, but I will be happy with whatever is left. I feel like a new, much more real me. I hope my journey can help someone in the same position I was. Thank you again to all the women in this forum who helped me get here.
The doctor came
Doc came this morning and said everything went well. Implants were intact and there were no lumps. Surprise, surprise, the implants were tear-drop when I specifically said to my original PS that I didn't want tear-drop implants. He said they were moderate profile round. I don't understand why he wasn't honest about it.
Anyway, doc said he took the implants out and did some internal stitches from the top to rise the breast tissue a bit. So I have to be very careful next 2 weeks not to move my arms too much.
I'm looking forward to the post op on Thursday though, because I don't feel a 100% with all the meds and I forgot most of my questions.
I'm home now. And I am myself. All is good.

And they are out
Like that, they are out!! I have slept only a little bit so I'm very tired but feeling quite ok. The nurses, anaesthesist and doctor have all been amazing and I feel incredibly lucky to have this team supporting me.
I got here 6.30 am yesterday. Got to the room and the anaesthesist came in for a talk. He let me have water until 2 h before the op and gave a antinausea tablet. Both of those must have helped cos for the first time after surgery,I feel good, no sign on nausea at all.
They gave me a sleeping tablet and around 11 am we went down to theatre...which I don't remember at all!! I remember the holding room, half remember crying a lot and my doctor there and that is about it. No counting, no theatre.
When I woke up it hurt but nothing unbearable. I have stayed overnight and I feel ok. The pain comes from the areola to the armpit really, but it is not too bad, although I don't have a great range of movement at the moment.
The nurse had to check the dressings last night and she let me have a quick look. From the top the look tiny but ok and I was getting all excited. But looking at them, there seems to be like empty skin sitting at the bottom, like a mini double boob. How lucky, bonus boobs ;)!
I don't know if it ll all fill up but it's day one so no worried. The other thing I have noticed is the armpit and side boob. Where did that come from? Not sure if that will stay there, fingers crossed that it won't. Otherwise they look ok and at least there is something there. Now I guess I have to be patient... Not exactly my forte!
The doc is coming this morning and I hope he is prepared for my never-ending list of questions! And then I think we will go back home and try to rest. I want to make sure I ask how much or how little I can do,so I don't get overconfident and hurt myself.
I will try to post some photos tomorrow when I get home.
