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.

New Photos
Trying to add photos again. I have tried a few times. If it doesn’t update I will delete the entire thing. I do not agree with Real Self asking people for a copy of their surgery receipts. I also do not understand why I need to add 200 characters when trying to add photos. I’ve even sent emails to real self help desk and have not heard back.
Not sure what happened to the week 1 and week 2 photos - here they are again
Here are photos at week one and week two. I must warn you that if you are considering the muscle reattachment that this isn’t an easy recovery, especially the first week. You must have somebody there to help you. It was hard for me to get out of bed. I am lucky that I have a bed that raises because you need to sleep with your upper body raised to help with swelling, and laying flat is not possible. I am now approaching week 5 and I am still raising my bed to get in and out. You must remember that the muscles are reattached to your rib and sternum.
Found an photo with the muscle deformity Ugh :(
Hi, I just found the muscle deformity photo. I just want to remind anyone considering explant that already has muscle deformity to ask about muscle reattachment. I am not happy that the doctor went through my nipples, first sign she forgot to attach the pec muscles. Prior to my surgery date it was discussed that she would go under the breast because that is the only way to reattach the muscles. Anyway, I am hoping once the healing is done that when I flex I no longer see this. Talk about taking away self confidence in the bedroom :(. If only I knew back then what I know now about BA. I would never have gone under the knife. It just isn’t worth it.
