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.

Hi everyone! First post op appt. was this...
Hi everyone!
First post op appt. was this aft' (surgery was Friday, July 20) and all went well. The PS took the little bit if tape off and, of course, left the steri-strips on with the same instructions as everyone else has received; when they start flapping about, take them off. Other stuff:
- nothing on incisions, no goop, no tape, just supportive, not too tight bra. Mini pads over underboob horizontal incisions only.
- shower, dry well, bra on
- when possible, let them air out every day for a half hour or do, lying down
- if I'm not sleeping well on my back, I can prop myself to 3/4 on side with pillows, but spend as much time on my back as possible. (Not the first guy that's asked me to do that.)
- No stitches to remove (yay!!!!). He dies all internal (no idea how), and leaves two knots outside the breasts on my areolas. I go back in 2 weeks and he clips the knots, but doesn't take anything out; they withdraw into breast and dissolve. If I get a spitter, just use sterilized tweezers and pull out. It will come smoothly as no knots. (Sounds good in theory, let's see how that works on practice.)
- at four weeks, if everything stats good, I can get back on recumbent bike and do an work as long as arms aren't engaged. No rowing or running 'til 6 weeks'ish. (The thought of rowing or running it sex right now gives me the willies!). Oh ya, sex whenever I feel up to it. See previous comment :)
- if I get an open spot, it won't open as pinprick, but like dime or quarter. (Smaller in Canada with the exchange...ba doom cha!). Put Polyspirin on it, pad and go. No Neodporin because it has an oil in it that ore vents air getting in.
- pathology won't be back 'til next appt. (damnit)
That's pretty much it on the clinical side.
Emotionally/psychologically? I am in crazy, stupid, self-absorbed, head up my own arse, LOVE with my new booblettes!! In love I tell you!
Photos and more deets tomorrow. Kids got home from camp today and apparently expect to be fed. Kids these days, honestly!
Can't wait to get some time to read others' updates! I'm in serious withdrawal!! I owe some if you a response and I'm sorry im taking so long. Been a crazy couple of days.
Hope everyone is well. 'Til tomorrow!

Aug. 3 was my second post-op. Everything almost...
Aug. 3 was my second post-op. Everything almost healed. One tiny triangle scab, under right boob, about a third the size of my pinkie nail, still has to go. Small scab immediately below areola on left boob has little scab left as well. Once those go, I start scar massage and can start silicone tape anytime, but I will give it at least a week or two of massaging before I begin taping. Want those scars to get a little more robust before I start putting sticky things on and pulling them off!!
At appointment today, all PS did was clip the two knots on outside of both areloas and then trim remaining stitch down to skin. Now, all those stitches will magically recede into the recesses of my breast tissue and dissolve. Or come sputtering to the surface in a hot, angry mess - lol! My money is on the first scenario, given what I've seen of this guy's work. I can start working out (gently at first, of course) at between six and eight weeks. My next appointment with him is on September 14, which is 8 weeks to the day from my surgery, so I'm going to wait until then probably. (maybe a little recumbent bike before then, just so I don't lose everything - lol!) If all systems are "GO" at that next appointment, then Saturday, September 15 should be my first run back! I know this may not sound like much to a lot of people, but it will be huge for me in terms of both a full return to life as usual and much-needed stress management. Nothing works like exercise for me!
As of today (Aug. 7 - 2 weeks, 4 days post-surgery), lefty's swelling is finally reduced to the point where both booblette's look the same size both "NEKKID" and shrouded in one of their many new bras. (Sports, but still.....LOL!) And the new wave of bruising on lefty is also significantly improved today.
So, all in all, thrilled to the moon and back with results and recovery to-date. I'll never be Kate, but I'll be a damned fine version of Kate's grandmother - and that's good enough for me!
Hope everyone is well and happy and either happily (and perhaps anxiously!) counting down the days to their surgery, or healing well.
