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.

Update post op
My surgery finished late in the afternoon. I was very nauseous from the Anastasia even though they gave me anti nausea medicine prior to and during surgery. My chest, from my BA, actually was very painful. Got dressed and went back to the hotel. I attempted to eat a little soup and a couple of bites of watermelon so I could take pain meds, but threw up. Slept off and on the rest of the night and day. Pain was somewhat tolerable. Needed hubby to help me in and out of bed to potty. I bought a wedge which worked ok. Hard to get comfy.
Post-op day 1 and 2 were rough! I was nauseous from the pain meds and couldn't eat much. Finally found a balance alternating the Percocet and ibuprofen every 4 hours. I managed some crackers and that helped when taking meds. I took a short shower post op day 2 with help. Luckily we got a handicap accessible room so it had a walk in shower with a bench. I was pretty hunched.
Post-op day 3 was a turn around day. Had a Percocet at 6am that morning and switched to ibuprofen only. This helped with the nausea. I also started milk of magnesia and a stool softener and had a bm. Felt so much better and less gassy.
Post op day 4 I got up early because I had a post op with my doc at 9 am. She was wonderful all weekend answering all my questions by text and reassuring me. I showered, got ready and helped pack us (somewhat). We managed to check out and still make it to our post op at 9am. Doctor keen said everything looked great. I have some swelling especially between my pubic bone and belly button. She said it doesn't look serious and to just watch that area as she did some Lipo on the mons area to contour that area to my tummy. That area is sore! Staples were removed and steristripes applied. Breasts are high, tight and odd shaped. She gave me some stretches she wants me to start to help loosen the chest muscle.
Headed home. 4.5 hour drive. We stopped for some breakfast and a managed to eat a little something and take some ibuprofen. My sons nana stayed at our home to help which was great. My husband found a electric recliner and went and bought it as soon as we got home. That was the greatest! The most comfortable I had been since surgery!!!
I slept in in for the next few nights. Nana went home. The six in the evening which was just fine. By that point I was standing up 95% straight getting around OK and doing some light housework on my own. I've managed to freeze 26 meals before surgery so dinner was no big deal.
Post op day 11 I had a follow up by phone. My left breast seems to be dropping nicely and looking good. My right one still looks odd, but the doctor says this is normal and the final result won't really be known for two or three months.
Scar looks great and swelling looks normal.
I'm having a hard time finding comfortable compression and everything seems to rub my scars wrong or make me so hot. I was told to experiment with spanx and try and find something comfortable. She also released me from my surgical bra.
I'm now two weeks and two days postop I feel pretty good. All the Steri-Strips have fallen off except for from my left breast. Still having problems finding comfortable compression. Any advice would be great. I'm standing up straight, I rode my bike, And I get around pretty good. I do still get a bit tired. I'm still having some significant swelling between my pubic bone and belly button but it goes up-and-down. My next post office in until October 5.

Before pics
Day of surgery. Ohhh before pics. Just look at these during recovery and it will help me remember why I wanted and NEEDED to do this.
Night before
Tomorrow is the big day. Checked into the hotel, all supplies out and organized. The hotel is perfect! It's a suite with a separate bedroom, kitchenette and it's handicap accessible.
I'm a little nervous, but not bad. Will update post-op.

Provider Review
I have not had my procedure yet, but I did consult with the five surgeons. I felt very confident with Dr. Angela keen's ability. Her resume and educationwere impressive. Her reviews are excellent and I had insiders in the plastic surgery world refer me to her. This meant the most to me, but she also has a great bedside manner. She put me at ease and her staff is friendly. Plastic surgery consults are a bit unnerving, at least for me. It's never fun getting undressed and having all your flaws pointed out even if you were keenly aware of them yourself. She let me know what was reasonable and I liked her female perspective.
