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.

My fluid has stopped!!! I was drained 2 more times. 45 cc's, then only 18! My job is fairly physically demanding, and I went back to work at 3 weeks post op. I felt pretty good, and had minimal limitations. I do however get sore in my tummy area if I'm lifting too much. I continue to take advil, which helps a lot. I feel a little swollen during the work week. I worry that my tummy will remain a little "poochy". But my dr says I still have some swelling, and will continue to see results improve over the next few months. I'm posting my 4 week post op pics my doctor took. With my before pics side by side.

I went in to get drained again today. Only 45cc's this time, instead of 60. Progress!!! I'm feeling great, except when the fluid builds, I feel slight pressure. Love the relief of getting it drained today. If fluid builds again, I'll go in Tuesday to get drained again, and just hope it's less and less.

I went in on Tuesday August 28 and had 60 cc's of fluid drained. Didn't hurt, and felt so much relief. The fluid didn't hurt, just caused an increasing sense of pressure as it accumulated. Dr said I have to keep bound for at least 2 to 3 weeks now, to hopefully avoid more fluid build up. But here I am, two days later, and I see fluid under my skin, and feel a slight pressure from it. So I'm going in tomorrow to get drained again.
I've stayed bound, religiously, except for when I shower, and have hardly done anything around the house. So I'm thinking there isn't anything I"ve done to cause it...
Other than that, I feel great. I'm two weeks and one day post op. No pics today tho!! Keeping bound causes that wrinkled loook to my skin, like when your clothes are too tight. I'll post pics next week, maybe at 3 weeks post op.
Oh, and of note, I can now laugh, sneeze and cough with barely any discomfort! :)
