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.

Scar tissue and dresses
My partner changed my dressings last night. While the scars are healing, they seem somewhat raised, one more than the other, so I'm hoping this doesn't mean the end result will be a line of raised scar tissue under each breast. I guess no one will know except me and my partner if it turns out that way but of course I'd prefer the great result I had with the BA scars (which were basically non-existent).
I've tried on 2 dresses that my mother made for me a few years ago and they now don't fit - I have all this gaping fabric at the back (they both have long back zips) because I no longer have bigger boobs to pull the fabric forward. Mum is now in her 80s so probably wouldn't be bothered with basically re-making them. One of the (few) downsides of explanting is having to replace parts of your wardrobe (I hate clothes shopping).
Two weeks today until I see the PS for second follow up appointment and hopefully say bye-bye to compression bras.

Just over 2 weeks
Hi All
Had to change the dressing yesterday (weekly), think I stressed about it more than my partner, who did it for me. This stuff is really sticky (Fixomull) and I didn't want the dressing misplaced and then have to take if off and start again - but he got it right first time, much to my relief.
He took pics while I had the dressings off - he zoomed in a bit much! And the pics of the scars are a bit blurred but you'll get the idea. The fluffing is happening and the scars are healing really well. I'm thrilled with the results. Still wearing the dreaded compression bra 24/7. Next appointment with PS is 12 November and I'm hoping she will tell me I no longer need the compression bra and then I can go bra shopping.
I'm pretty much back to all normal activities now. I need to start an exercise programme but will leave that until I see the PS and get her ok.

Provider Review
She is very professional and has experience with breast surgery. She answered all my questions and I felt confident in her skills. Her assistants, Sarah and Kristin, have been wonderful, very helpful. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Dr Corrigan for anyone seeking this type of surgery.
