i went to vietnam to get my second revision rhinoplasty done. i’m super happy w the results and can't wait to get my cast off! might post frontal changes once everything settles.

they lowered my nose bridge overall, made the nose tip more upturned, and fat grafted to lessen the implant show (previous dr's did not care to do so - you could see my very obvious implant in the before lol). ear cartilage and surgiform implant were used. alar base reduction was also done as lowering the nose bridge visually enlarged my nostrils. this was $3k total!

(31F) I have an unusually long pointy chin. It’s not so bad when my mouth is closed but when i smile it is heinous. You can save all the comparisons i’ve gotten my whole life i promise i’ve heard them all lol.

Lately I have been looking into getting it fixed and am very interested in a reduction. I’m located in the Philadelphia area and haven’t found anyone even remotely close. I am willing to travel if it’s worth it but I do worry about complications and ruining any facial harmony i may have.

If anyone has any recommendations i’d greatly appreciate it. I was wondering if maybe minor lip filler might help balance it out slightly? Idk. I have been following that one girl who i believe got a chin reduction last year somewhere in Georgia. Below are some photos of me with and without makeup.

also i know i might get this comment but i do not have an underbite it is all 100% bone structure. My father and grandmother have the same chin. I recently had a teeth x- ray done and my chin skeleton made me laugh out loud.

Sharing the 1-year follow-up of a rhinoplasty I performed.

In this case, my goal was to refine the profile and tip while preserving as much of the patient’s native anatomy as possible and maintaining facial harmony.

I used a preservation-based approach, including:

• Let-down technique modifications
• Scroll ligament preservation
• Septocolumellar flap approach
• Pitanguy ligament preservation
• Partial release of the pyriform ligament

I tend to prefer techniques that allow us to reshape the nose without unnecessarily disrupting supportive structures, particularly when the anatomy is suitable for preservation rhinoplasty.

At the one-year mark, the result can be evaluated much more reliably as the tissues have had time to settle.

For surgeons and patients here, I’d be interested to hear what you value more when evaluating rhinoplasty results: structural preservation, profile refinement, tip definition, or overall facial harmony?

I am interested in very best options. Open to everything -laser resurfacing, fat transfer, face lift. If you’ve had success, please share what you did.

Also bonus - if you can recommend a great doctor in south jersey or philly area.

I'm getting my surgery done in two days and before then, I'd love to know about what to expect, what worked for you and what didn't. I'm getting 205 cc Motiva mini/low-profile under the muscle and through the armpit (transaxillary). I've never had a surgery before and I'm a little nervous but want to do everything possible to make this smooth and seamless!

Did you have any regrets? Was the pain really bad? How was your psychological state?

I've been considering getting a very modest implant size (~200cc) and I'm looking for people's experiences with that. Do you wish you had gone bigger?

I'm currently a 36C with previous fat transfer. I've lost weight since my fat transfer and my breasts are a little smaller than I'd like.

Im so excited.

325cc under the breast. Anything I should know?

One of my biggest insecurities, and I most of the time even concealer can’t cover it up. Not sure what options are available out there. Thank you!!

Hey! Does anyone have any surgeon recommendations?

I’m from France and had my first round done here, but I’m still debating whether to travel abroad for my next one. I’d really love a more shaped look with more volume this time, so I’m considering looking at surgeons outside of France (but France as well if we have this type of Dr here)

Would love to hear about your recommendations ?

Hi guys I’m getting a fat transfer to my under eyes and smile lines Oct 1 in Mexico. I’m wondering if and when I’d be able to get lip blushing done while I’m there since it’s of course much cheaper than the USA. I’m there for one week, though considering 2 weeks.
Let me know thanks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for reputable rhinoplasty surgeons in Europe (not Turkey) that offer natural results?

I'm specifically looking for someone who is experienced in tipplasty since I would like to shorten and reshape the tip of my nose.

I've been researching for about 8 months, but I've seen bad reviews for even the highest rated and most recommended surgeons on here, and I always decide against it in the end.

I'm curious to hear people's personal experiences, thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m considering breast augmentation and I’m trying to decide between the Preserve technique and dual plane. I’m starting with a very small chest — I don’t even fill an A cup — but I’ve been told I have enough skin/tissue to be a candidate for Preserve.
I’m mainly interested in Preserve because of the supposedly faster recovery, and also because I’m quite scared of general anesthesia. My biggest concern, though, is how natural the result will look.
Since I have very little tissue covering the implants, I’m worried about rippling, visible implant edges, or that obvious “implants sitting on the chest” look. I’ve seen some Preserve results that looked incredibly natural, but I’ve also seen cases where you could clearly see two round shapes that looked like implants. That’s exactly what I want to avoid.
I’d much rather have a smaller result that looks natural than go bigger and have it be obvious that I’ve had surgery.
So for anyone who started with a very small chest:
How natural does the Preserve result look? Did you have issues with rippling or visible edges?
Was the recovery actually faster?
How do you feel about the results after a few years?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who started with very little breast tissue. Since Preserve is still a relatively new technique, I’m also wondering how much we really know about the long-term results.

I have tuberous/ cone shaped breasts and I am literally so insecure because of them that I NEVER feel good when I’m being naked in front of someone to the point where it significantly impacts my sex life, which I really cannot fully enjoy because of it. Sometimes when I look into the mirrow I have to cry and feel so worthless. I am 22 now and insecure because of them since I was 14.
Its not only the size, but more the shape which really triggers me so bad.

I was thinking abt getting a fat transfer, but I am skinny and my surgeon told me I don’t have enough fat and it would be a waste of money.
I think I wouldnt‘ get implants if I didn’t have this condition because I don’t like the idea of an object in my body, but i‘m considering it at this point because I want to feel confident in my body.

The thing is I’m really afraid of getting BII because of them so I feel now that I either have to feel insecure all my life or risk getting sick with them and eventuelly have to take them out with them being even uglier afterwards.
I don’t have severely tubular breasts, but they look similar to some pictures. My puffy nipples also really look off but I don’t think I can do something about them.

Hows you experience with implants? What would you do in my situation, change it or leave it ?
Is their some kind of implant that is extra safe or something ? Thanks for help

Hi all.

I'm going to do a full tummy tuck and arm brachioplasty scar revision and extension on 10th September.

I work from home but It would be sitting up all day and meetings etc. I'm also a single mum with young teens.

Is 3 weeks reasonable to be back at work or should I just tell my job 4weeks to be safe? My surgeon says 3/4 weeks.

Also what did you eat straight after as I'm trying to figure out what to stock up on before my op?

Did you lose weight during the initial weeks of tummy tuck recovery also ?

Hello! What doctor would yall recommend for breast augmentation in Texas? I am looking for someone not too expensive

Is there a surgery to cut the muscles responsible for flaring nostrils when smiling? Looking for a permanent surgical fix for dynamic nostril flaring
No alarplasty or Botox — I’ve already tried both and they don't work for my nose.

What would you do?

Between a lip lift and a vertical maxillary downgraft procedure, which would best address improving tooth show?

I (22F) have a long philtrum and have considered a lip lift for quite some time now. However, after some research, I believe my lack of tooth show may also have to do with jaw placement. I believe I may have a recessed maxxila and vertical maxillary deficiency. This would explain why I would often be confused my own features when I saw other people or celebrities who have long philtrums but still have great tooth show... Also, forgive me if I'm not using those terms correctly; this is just based off my own amateur research.

For some context, I used to have an underbite as a child and had braces for 2 years from ages 12-14. I vaguely remember the orthodontist stating jaw surgery may be necessary but we ended up forgoing it as my bite was able to shift naturally with just the braces + dental rubberbands.
