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.

3 weeks post op
3 weeks post op, my tape is finally off except for the t zone where the two cuts meet. I'm super happy and have never felt better. I have however got minor infections at these t zones which I am treating and seem to getting better.
Blood drained!
So as you know, my left breast has been giving me problems with bleeding. 2 days ago I took a picture which I'll post, where my left boob looked 2x larger than my right. I thought it might just be swelling and that it would eventually go down.
Yesterday I went for my second follow up and Dr Patel looked at the bleeding boob. It was dripping blood as he was examining and changing my dressings so he made the decision to open me up and drain my breast. A large amount of blood was drained, enough to fill one of those dishes (not sure what it's called). He also used a syringe and water to clean out the breast. This wasn't a great experience but I understand that it had to be done. I can see a huge difference in the size now that it's been drained.

7-8 days post op!
My first week of recover went better than expected. I slept quite a bit and took all my meds and was feeling great.
Unfortunately the same boob that bled excessively on the day of my op, has been bleeding since I first changed my dressings on Friday. I keep having to wipe fresh blood away and it seems to be constant. Im going for my second follow up tomorrow so hopefully Dr Patel can help.
Overall, I feel so much better and a 100 times more confident about my appearance. I never knew it could make suck a difference. I'm finally able to wear all the clothes I never could.
Can't wait to be completely healed so I can go bra shopping!
