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.

Tomorrow will be 6 weeks
So I've been slacking so much on this site, but wanted to give a little update! I seriously love my boobs. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I couldn't be happier!
I had the okay from my doctor to resume lifting and upper body stuff at 6 weeks. It's a day early, but I couldn't wait any longer. Lol. I went to CrossFit this morning. I know a few people were wondering how getting back to that stuff is, so figured it would be a good time to update. :)
During the warm up, we're supposed to do 10 pull-ups and 10 push-ups. I only did two pull-ups because I didn't want to hurt myself. Honestly, after all this time off, even doing two felt good. I was worried I wouldn't be able to do any without a band! I'll attempt more tomorrow night. I definitely want to take it easy at first. I think I only did six or seven push-ups because we were doing them in the workout.
Onto the WOD... It was pretty easy, so a good one to come back to after all this time off. We did a 15 minute AMRAP of six 25# weighted overhead step-ups, 10 hand release push-ups, 20 hollow rocks, and 30 mountain climbers. The weighted overhead step-ups were hard! I used 25# and wished I had used 15# after two rounds, but didn't drop in weight. I just went slower. I started doing the push-ups from my knees after two rounds because I'm just not comfortable doing lots of those yet. I think I will be doing all the body weight stuff pretty much like normal soon. Tomorrow will hopefully have some lifting, so I'll see how that goes and update about that.
Overall, they're healing great, I love how they look, and I am so happy that I can start doing CrossFit again! I'll try to post a little bit more often. I'll also try to get some pictures up at some point this week!

Three weeks! Went on a run today... finally!
Not much to write about! All is going well. :)
Today I am officially allowed to work out, minus anything with weights/no upper body stuff. I just did some air squats (which were surprisingly difficult after 3 weeks off!) and planked. Also went on a run - my first run with boobs! I made it 3.7 miles and didn't have any problems whatsoever. My boobs are still pretty firm and not very big, so there wasn't any flopping around and therefore no pain or anything. I could wore one of my old sports bras from before the surgery because size small still fits me. I will probably invest in some with better support soon, because once my boobs soften up, I think I'll need it.
That's all that's really new on my end, but here are some pictures!

Some pictures
Here are some pictures of how they look right now... I don't think they look very different from the pictures I post last week, but they're getting a lot softer each day!
I see them in real life and they look big, but in pictures they really don't look big at all. I feel like my pictures are kind of misleading in that sense lol.
Also, I think the incision pictures look more red and bloodier than they actually are haha!! And less raised than they feel. I don't know..... Anyway, here they are!
