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.

One Month Post-Op
No significant changes in appearance though I definitely think my breasts are becoming somewhat more dense. When I massage, I feel "more" substance than I did a few months ago. My left side is still a bit misshapen, but my right side looks really good. I'm surprised by the extent to which I am still sore, especially if I don't wear a super supportive sports bra. I pretty much live in the zip front Jockey bra. Tried to sleep without a bra and also with a less supportive bra. Not good. I was quite sore the next day. There is some numbness of the skin along medial surface of both sides. Nipple sensation is pretty much the same as it was pre-explant. Both my nipples seem to be permanently erect. Hope that resolves with time.
18 days post-op
Healing continues. The bruise on my left side is almost gone. I'm still sore along upper pole and cleavage area but it improves little by little. Not ready to go braless or even to move away from my fairly tight sports bra. I wear that over an almost-antique tube top from the 80s. It has seen me through 3 surgeries and helps cushion the bra band against incisions. I've held on to it over the years in anticipation of an explant. After this, I'm getting rid of it! Incisions are still covered with sterile strips and I can see some sutures still in there. I'll wait until the end of the week and then peel off the tape. It is getting pretty grizzly- looking.
I've got a follow up appointment on July 6, which my psychological said I could cancel if I did not have any questions or concerns. Not sure yet if I'll keep the appointment. It is only an hour away and I suppose it is important for doctors to see how things resolved for patients in order to be better help future patients know what to expect.

A Better Day
Today was the first day I woke up and didn't immediately think about physical discomfort. The skin previously under the drain tape is still red but I'm not consumed with itchiness/sensitivity. It is still there, but so much improved. I didn't wear as tight a compression last night/today. Maybe that helped. I'm going to wrap up tonight and see what happens.
My range of reach has improved a lot. IMagine that is a slower process for under the muscle placement gals.
Being gone most of the day probably helped, too. DIstracted, so no time to overthink the situation. LOL.
