How it works

- 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.

6 Months
I don't get on here a lot. Been so busy! But I thought I'd come in here and update, especially for those considering a donut lift that want to see long term results.
I really love my new breasts. They're still changing for the better, although very slowly. My nipple's are sadly still numb, it may be permanent but I'll take it over my old breasts any day. I could have had the implants placed through a crease incision which would have made him cut through less nerves, but that would have resulted in double the scarring since I needed the incisions around the areolas for the lift. I opted for him to put the implants through that same incision and risk further nerve damage. Also, he said it could take up to a year to regain feeling so there's still a chance.
The scars are pretty white now. Sometimes they look a little pink but they're still fading. I have never used any type of scar tape or cream.
The areolas are much better than they used to be. I would like them a bit smaller (this was the smallest they could go without risking the scars stretching out). Now that the skin is stretched from the implants, I can always go in one day and get them cut smaller without the big risk of them stretching back out. They are also still a bit puffy (although they've been slowly flattening) and if I get them cut again, they can remove that excess puffiness if it's still there.
I looove wearing swim suits now and fill out clothes so much better! While I occasionally have trouble finding a bra that's sized right, overall clothes shopping is much more fun!

8 Weeks, Loving Them!
Not many changes to report. I had another post op appointment yesterday and my doctor said my areolas will definitely flatten out during the next few months. If for some reason they don't he can always take some more of the areola out.
He said to give the numbness up to a year to return. Nerves repair slowly.
I don't have any restrictions now. I can wear any bras, work out, swim, etc.
I will be seeing my surgeon again in two months and he said we'll take early after photos. They actually emailed me my before photos and I am in shock my breasts could get this nice from where they were. Did anyone give their surgeon and the office something to thank them? I'm thinking a gift basket of some sort. Ideas please?

Finally 6 Weeks
Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post op! I am loving the way they are looking so far, but they still have a lot of changes to make. The main thing I can't wait for is for my areolas to lose the puffiness. I'm a little worried that they won't. They stick out significantly from the rest of the breast. Has anyone else that got a lift had this problem?
The next thing I'm excited about is my scars fading. Does anyone use anything that helps, like some kind of scar sheets?
Finally, I can't wait for them to soften up more! My right is slightly soft and my left is much softer, but they both have a ways to go.
Let's see what the next 6 weeks brings me!

Provider Review
Dr. Repta went way above and beyond what I ever thought was possible for my breasts! Other doctors said they could improve my breasts but they will never be what I want. Dr. Repta gave me exactly what I asked for. We spoke in detail about what my goals were and he never rushed me while I asked all my questions. He thoroughly answered all my questions in detail. He was very nice and personable, and was also patient and sweet when I had to take my kids with me to my appointments. Wait times were short or nonexistent. He made me feel comfortable going into surgery and coming out. I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon and I don't think anyone can go wrong with him!
