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.

Almost one year has passed since the explant.
I feel like I have never had implants. Always grateful for Real Self and the reviews that made me go for explants.

A little more than two weeks have passed, I feel like I had never had implants. I wear a wireless bra to feel more safe when I go out or cycling, and stay mostly braless at home (freedom!).

everything going superwell. I only noticed that if I stay up all day driving around etc. I feel like my breast swells and feels itchy inside. Maybe it is because the pockets need time (weeks? months?) to seal. To prevent this I've started to wear a very tight sportsbra... did anyone recently explanted experienced something like this, feeling like there is a soft empty space inside the breast that need to be kept tightly squashed? big hugs to everyone here! v

Dr. Vergine is a roman plastic surgeon who works mostly with oncology patients (he does a lot of post-mastectomy reconstructions) in a renowned public hospital. He performs also esthetics procedures in the OR of the private medical center where he has a study. Everything went exactly how he told me before the operation. Very satisfied.
