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.

Reason for BA
My parents have been bugging me to go see a surgeon about a double mastectomy since i was about 17. We were thinking breast cancer might be genetic on my moms side. My mom had breast cancer at 40 (had a lumpectomy). Her mom had BC around 46-47 (had a mastectomy), and HER mom had breast cancer (passed away from it, not sure what age).
I researched the procedure WITH reconstruction, and saw about 90% of feedback saying that reconstruction wasn't worth it because there is no tissue or anything to support the implant so it made them very pronounced and noticeable afterwards, also the majority of women said that the pain after implants were put in was so intense that most of them either regretted having implants, or actually went back and had them taken out. This obviously freaked me out, so i was really hoping i wouldn't have to do that procedure NOW, but i did want their thoughts on it. All the surgeons i saw pretty much told me the same thing. It most likely isn't genetic because they were over 40 when they got BC, so it wasn't necessary to have the procedure done now, but i do have a higher chance of contracting it. I was also told that since I have so little tissue, that they would most likely have to take everything off meaning i wouldn't be able to breast feed..... I'm not ready to remove my nipples just yet lol. I kind of figured that's how it would be, so I decided to just go ahead with the BA part and skip the removal since i don't actually need it.
Might as well have boobs while i can!!!
