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.

5 week post op appt
So far this has been a easy healing process I have no complaints about anything
At about 4.5 weeks post I did experience a small suture poking out but at my appt my doctor took care of it with no problem
At my appt he did tell me that I can now resume my regular workouts and activites!

I don't go back to Dr. Gill until December 31st which I will than be 5 weeks due to the approaching holidays but as of now everything is going great
Days that I'm very active at work I notice that my muscle swells so then I have to slow down otherwise than that and morning Boob which really feels like engorgement lol

32 Yo Mom of 2 (Breastfed Both)... 5ft 157lbs
I don't usually do reviews but my Doctor has been EXCELLENT and his work has truly been AMAZING!
So a little back story... after having two kids I went from a small B cup to a D! But then after breastfeeding both and then also losing 20lbs my breast then went to a deflated C/D cup.
I came on Realself and started doing tons of research on different surgeons... I initially was going to travel to Miami but after adding up the cost I decided to stay in Houston... I'm so glad i did and thanks to Realself i was able to find Dr. Gill him and his staff was excellent and not to mention VERY caring because I had loads of questions before my consultation and they answered each and every one with TONS of patience lol!
So by the time of my consultation at the end of September I went in informed of everything and all I had to do was pick a size and put my deposit down...
So on sizing since I'm a fairly small woman 5ft 157lbs more muscalur build with a little baby weight in the stomach area lol...I didn't want to go too big I was just really aiming for the perky look and staying at the small D area... so I initially discussed with 365cc gummy bears implant under the muscle and I scheduled for November 27th... but after further discussing about the lift and losing some breast tissue by my final consult 2 weeks before i ended up going for 385cc gummy bear implants under the muscle.
November 27th day of surgery I was scheduled for 12:30pm I believe so I had to be at the surgery center for 10am... I arrived at the surgery center at about 10:30a they brought me back and started preparing me and they were very kind and caring also... Dr. Gill came in and made his markings and talked to me and before I knew it I was brought back and then waking up in recovery... I believe my surgery was 2 to 3 hrs and then I was in recovery for 1hr
Everything went excellent and Dr. Gills staff checked on me the day of surgery they called my husband and then they proceeded to call me every day the 1st week... as far as the pain I only took my pain meds and muscle relaxers the 1st 2 days and then I stopped my pain meds and did like 1 more day of muscle relaxers and then I completely stopped because the pain wasn't bad it was more like a pressure sensation and tightness like engorgement from breastfeeding. I also had to keep my incisions wrapped with Kerlix and I wasn't able to shower for the 1st 2 days :( I stayed on antibiotics for one week until my post op appt on Dec. 4th.
So on my 1 week post op visit it went smooth my incisions are looking awesome and I will attach pics later this evening. They then told me to start rubbing Vaseline on my incisions 3 times a day to start breaking down the glue cause after the glue breaks down in 5 to 7 days I will be able to start scar therapy which they recommend the biocorneum and also to start massaging my chest up and down 3 times a day to keep from capsular contraction
So tomorrow I will officially be 2 weeks post op and I feel amazing I still have limitation in what I can do as far and pushing and pulling and definitely no reaching above my head and carrying anything over 20 lbs... but I'm able to take care of my 2 yr old which she is very active also my husband has been a huge help... I have returned to normal driving and also returned to work which I work 50 hrs a week! But my scars look so AMAZING they are not half as bad as I thought they would be at 2 weeks from several reviews i seen, that's what led me to do this review cause I don't know if it's just that Dr. Gill is a AMAZING surgeon or I'm a fast healer or both lol!!!
