So would lip fit or filler help?

Thanks...

Past corrective breast augmentation. What should I do??

• Upvotes

I have a congenital defect where I developed minimal breast tissue on my left side. I was extremely self-conscious of this as I had an A- cup and a D cup in my teenage years. My parents paid to have an implant placed at 18 to correct this imbalance.

I'm now 34 and think I'm getting encapsulation. I plan to have another baby first, then correct this surgically. But I have no idea how to move forward....

I care less about their size and shape, and would prefer not to have another implant placed that just needs more surgical intervention, but I also do not want to be lopsided again.

What can I do here?

Vacation or medical leave in CA

• Upvotes

Did anyone use medical leave or vacation when asking for time off at work? This is my first time having a cosmetic surgery while working full time. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to use medical leave or vacation considering the surgery is elective. I don’t know what’s the difference or if I get paid for one or the other but I need at least 2 weeks off work and then 8 weeks no lifting.

Septo rhinoplasty before vs after. I think my septum still look deviated, or am I overthinking?

Hi guys, i need honest opinion. I had septo-rhinoplasty a month ago. I know swelling is still there but i think my septum is still deviated. My nostrils look asymmetrical as well as my nose itself is off-centred too. Am I overthinking or is it fine?
If any plastic surgeon or ENT specialist seeing this, what do you think?

Contemplating adding on fat transfer to breasts- wanting to hear others experience

1 Upvotes

Hi! So within the past two years I’ve lost around 115lbs resulting in a lot of excess skin. I’m scheduled for an extended TT w/lipo in November. I mentioned to my surgeon at our last visit that I was concerned about the lack of upper pole fullness in my breasts. They are very bottom heavy. I’m still at around a cup size D/DD. (I am a large person so they do fit my frame - 28F 5’10” 165lbs) but there is absolutely no volume at the top of the breast so they do appear very flat. He offered the option of fat transfer since I’m already having the lipo done. The added cost is only around $3400 and compared to the rest of the surgery it’s not all that much. If I end up going back after my TT to do it I’m sure it will be much more expensive , and I may not even have enough fat left to transfer. I am not wanting to do implants because I don’t want to have them replaced in 10-15 years and not sure how comfortable I’ll be with feeling the implants etc. no lift because I actually had one when I was 18 and they’re not super saggy, my nipples are high. The breast is just not full at the top

Has anyone had this done in addition to TT? Worth it?

ENT or plastic surgeon for ear tag removal? Need some advice

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have an ear tag on the lateral edge of my ear, I'm considering going for its removal. The ENT I've consulted charges around Rs 15,000 plus medicines, he's done such procedures before but doesn't have any pictures of the before and after.

My main concern is that of the cosmetic results, I don't want a notch on my ear or a prominent scar. Besides, I cannot afford consulting multiple doctors.

So are you someone who'd go for an ENT here for such a procedure, or will it be worth paying an additional sum to ensure the cosmetic results by consulting a plastic surgeon?

If you've undergone such a procedure, may I know what your experience was like? I'm in Pakistan. Thanks!

But injections

0 Upvotes

I got but injections around 10 years ago with a friend of mine. It wasn’t from a legit place either I was young and basically being a follower because she got it! I was told it was collagen getting injected. Years later (now) I have decided I want to get a bbl and going to pay 25k for a top surgeon here in az. Thankfully nothing happen after injection my but didn’t change one bit-I know I have to be honest with the surgeon during my consultation but I’d be sooooo upset if he turns me away…. Like before she said it was collegen but my friend who got it with me said it was a product called “Qwo” which was fda approved buttt discontinued due to bruising side effects. But who really knows if that’s what it was. Me and my gf years later have had 0 issues with our buts. Should I get a mri done before my consultation??? Or a x ray???

Loose Skin from Lipo Fix NSFW

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I had liposuction several years ago, and unfortunately, my surgeon was very aggressive with VASER.

My three biggest concerns are:

• Above my knees: Loose skin that hangs like a little hood.
• Back of my thighs: Skin laxity and irregularities.
• One side of my buttock crease: A hollow or indentation. Could Sculptra help restore some volume in this small area?

I would appreciate hearing from people or doctors who have dealt with similar liposuction issues and can share their honest experiences, including what worked, what did not, and whether the results were worth the cost.

Motiva implants and BII

2 Upvotes

I want to get implants for such a long time now, and the only thing that’s holding me back is the fear of my body rejecting the implants and developing BII. I always react really sensitive, even to piercings etc so I’m afraid my body will not handle them. I‘m so unhappy and frustrated with my breasts tho that I can’t decide what to do.

Have some of y‘all developed BII? Is it real ?

Are you happy with your implants ? How do breasts look after explant ?

And do motiva implants lower the risk of developing bii? What was your experience?

My surgeon suggested small motiva implants OTM for me.

Thanks for answers

Breast augmentation/pain

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
looking to get some advice,
I have a few consultations scheduled in the next week or so for a breast augmentation in the LA and greater LA areas (any recs are welcomed too)
I’ve included a recent body picture.
I am 5’10 and somewhere around 110/115 lbs.
i am looking to stay natural looking with some
More size.
I have wanted larger breasts all of my life (only woman in my family who is smaller chested) and I have considered the options. Not trying to go oversized, or change my natural shape (which I like). I am around a 32 A

I would love to hear success stories, anything-

I am feeling a bit anxious about recovery and pain, considering they are something that has to get revised in the future.
Wanting to hear any pain/regrets/advice as well as the good parts.
Successful revisions? What to watch out for pain and sickness wise?
Best consults in greater LA?

Thank you! Any advice welcome

Gummy smile Botox gone wrong

Post image
3 Upvotes

3.5 weeks ago got my alarplasty revised and she injected 3 units of Botox below my nostril and slightly to the side. (Never had a gummy smile she just didn't want a lot of movement in the area). Lip frozen and sitting lower. literally feels like dead weight (even at rest it seems I lost the tone in that area) .... main problem is it is pulling and adding tension to my (central bullhorn) lip lift scar which is not even a year old.... like wtf! When I smile my lip looks lower, flat, and strange like a big roll lol. Base of nose seems lower (that muscle must do something to that area too). I hope it doesn't permanently damage and stretch my lip lift scar .... any experiences with gummy smile botox? Time line? (She did 18 units of dysport she says that's the equivalent to 6 units- 3 per side). I am going to try the saline injections in the area to see if that helps speed the process up. Anyone have luck with that? Thank you

What procedures could help correct my facial imbalance?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I know facial asymmetry is completely normal, but I've struggled with mine a lot over the last few years, and I want to see options for addressing the things I'm self-conscious about.

So my whole right side is pretty much lower than my left. My right eye and eyebrow are lower, and the right side of my nose is slightly lower too, it’s most noticeable when looking at my nostrils. My smile is uneven, with the right side looking more elongated and flat? My chin and cheeks are where the asymmetry is most noticeable :(

I'm not sure what would be the best, whether that's Botox, fillers, surgery, or something else, and I'm not even sure what to get done where. Also, I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I had braces in the past to correct a crossbite and gap. But my crossbite is still there.

How long have your lifts lasted before skin laxity took hold again (breast, arm, tummy, butt, thigh)

7 Upvotes

Hi all. I am in the beginning stages of planning out my skin removal procedures. I have been all excited, ready to go but then started coming across some posts about how quicky sagging started after surgery. I know this can happen with weight fluctuations but the posters denied that was the cause. I thought these surgeries generally maintained the look for 15-20 years but I'm reading 5-10 years for my age. Now I'm second guessing my decision to spend the amount it will cost for just a few years worth of tone/tightness before looking the same way I do now. For reference, 55F, and I know the older you are, the faster the laxity happens. I lost 100+ lbs and will have been stable in the 'normal weight' range for almost a year by the time the first surgery happens. I have about 3 inches worth of sagging on my arms, 3 on belly (bending over), 4-5 on my thighs. Breasts are completely deflated and fully sagging. I planned a full lift and implants.

Any insight/experienced you can offer would be great to help me make a more informed decision

Post septoplasty / rhinoplasty day 3. I need some encouragement….

1 Upvotes

I think I’m about to lose my mind at the thought of having these splints in for 3 more days. The pressure is unbelievable and radiating down from my teeth up through my forehead. I look like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. It’s manageable as long as I stay up to the minute with the narcotics which I really was hoping not to need much. Probably the most annoying sensation though is the constant single drop of blood waiting on the edge of one nostril and the pinching / stinging from where it has dried. The gauze tape irritated my skin so I’m just consistently dabbing with a tissue..

This has to be the worst of it right?! I’m feeling very regretful and overwhelmed … and of course being exhausted from sleeping in a recliner intensifies all of those emotions. Need some encouragement from someone who has been through it please.
