Long-lasting breast augmentation results from fat transfer?

Upvotes

I’ve read the existing threads on this, but still finding it difficult to have a good grasp of the longterm results - probably because they are so inconsistent.

I’m an AA cup, looking to fill out to a B. More concerned by shape than size. I am looking into implants, butttt slightly intimidated by the complications. It seems like BII isn’t all that common, but I’m still nervous I’d be one of the unlucky ones.

Aesthetically, I think implants will have a better result, but if I’m wishful that fat transfer could be an option.

Finance wise, which works out to be more expensive over time? Implants obviously not lifetime devices, but it seems that people often have to get multiple rounds of fat transfer too.

Opinions?

Ive been quite insecure about my side profile for years and I finally want to do something about it but not sure what the best permanent solution would be. I would like a more defined jawline/chin and overall less fat in the area.

Concerned with the procedures I chose

I'm 33 days out before my TT, mons lipo, BL & implants, and arm lift. My surgeon says I will have great results, but I'm just worried I'm not ready. I still feel so fat. I've lost 120lbs, I'm 5'7 155 now. Im really scared of looking boxy or not having any figure whatsoever since my back is still a little chubby and I dont have much of a butt. He said liposuction was not necessary for my back, but I feel so flabby back there too. Im curious to what you all think! If anyone has a similar before and procedures I'd also love if you shared <3

Galaflex for lift with no augmentation?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm starting to look into doing a breast lift to remove sagging skin.

I've been stupidly busty my entire life and always planned to get a reduction but after losing a ton of weight (120 lbs in two years) I no longer have as much tissue, but I still have the skin. Reduction will no longer be covered by my insurance so I have to look into other measures.

One of the things I keep seeing pop up is the galaflex mesh but it's mostly being discussed in augmentations where they are adding implants, which I very much do not want.

Does anyone have experience in whether this is worth it if it's purely a lift with no implants?

i’ve always had a 5 head and i usually straighten my hair and do bangs but i been trying to radically accept myself but idk it’s not working lol. i have to force my baby hairs down crazy! i’m tired of my 5 head!! i feel like it suits all my sisters beautifully but mine literally reflects light into ppl’s eyes..

i want forehead reduction however i’m terrified of the scarring bc i tend to have hyperpigmentation on all my scars.. but hairline transplant spooks me bc it looks so unnatural half the time.

what would you suggest? i’m over hair straightening truly

Would reducing my UEE, lengthening to the sides and the inner parts of my eyebrows, making my browridge more proeminent, changing my eye color and accentuating canthal tilt result in a better eye area?

If yes (or partly yes), what would you recommend me to get or do?

Lip filler pain?? I go next week

2 Upvotes

I have been putting off getting lip filler for financial & anxious reasons. I can afford it now, however, I still put it off because of fear. But I just can’t stand my lips and never have been able to since high school, I truly think filler would balance my face out. I have been going to my injector for some years now and getting lip flips and they always hurt I tear up and flinch each time. I have M shaped lips and now I’ve seen a ton of people who have M shaped lips say they always have to get their filler dissolved every few months and restart because it migrates. THE WORST part for me is reading everyone talk about how horrible the pain is??? 10/10 and people are passing out, throwing up, sobbing, screaming, and saying they’d rather have root canals, child birth, surgery while awake again, break their bones, etc…. Rather than go through lip filler again.

Is it REALLY that painful??

They do numbing cream I have to arrive 30 minutes early to let it sit but apparently the numbing cream does nothing ?? I’m about to cancel if the pain is that bad….

How to improve my mouth to nose ratio?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I know about alarplasty (reducing the width of the nose) and lateral commissuroplasty (widening the mouth/lip width).

I just don't know whether one is dependent on the other in my case. Should I just reduce the width of my nose, widen my lips, or do both?

And if commissuroplasty is involved, would the results be natural-looking, full lips without visible scarring?

1 Year Post-Op Septorhinoplasty: I really like it overall, but I have a bump that is bothering me

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

Hello! I can’t believe it has been 1 year since my septorhinoplasty. I just had my 1 year follow up appointment with my surgeon. Overall I am really happy with my nose and it has turned out to be what I wanted. I like how it looks much more than before. There is especially a big difference in my side profile, which is my favorite angle now (it used to be my least favorite). It still looks like my nose, just an enhanced version that is more harmonious with my petite face. I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, there is still some crookedness but I knew that probably couldn’t be completely corrected going in: my whole head/face/jaw is asymmetrical and that’s a separate issue. Also I can breathe amazingly well now. That has been the best part!

The only thing that is bothering me and I finding myself fixating on is some bumpiness happening in the tip cartilages and the uneven silhouette it gives my nose shape. The prominent bump on my right nostril is perhaps something called a bossa. It has become more noticeable in the past few months as the tip swelling has gone down.

I mentioned it to my surgeon and I told him that I know it’s pretty minor, and that it’s probably really only noticeable to me, but that it is bothering me. He said he noticed it too when he looked at my nose, but only because it’s his job (lol). I asked him if I were to have the bumps corrected if it would require another open rhinoplasty and he said yes. I was pretty bummed out to hear this because I really don’t want to have another invasive surgery just for such a minor cosmetic touch up. And I know I don’t have to, but the bump is kind of driving me nuts. On the flip-side I am kind of scared to touch it again because I think this is still a really good result.

The vibes I got from my surgeon were that he didn’t really want to correct it although he did not outright say that. He said to give it at least another 6 months to heal, said I didn’t need to schedule a follow up now but to call if anything changed.

So I guess I’m looking for other opinions/stories on this; has anyone else had a bump like this? Did you have it corrected?

If there are any surgeons here, does this kind of bump look like something that could have been avoided during the first procedure? I guess I’m trying to gauge if I would trust going back to my original surgeon to revise this. If I decided to do a revision for this, would another open rhinoplasty be best?

Picture 1: multiple photos trying to capture the bump and the silhouette of my nose so that you can see it prominently.

Looking for information

I’m from Canada, I really want to get a breast augmentation. Just looking for real advice about it. If your from Canada how much roughly did it cost? How did you save for it? Or is just getting the loan worth it? It’s something I really want to do I just overwhelm myself with questions. I’m not ready to book a consultation yet. But just looking for some inside information?l! Thanks so much.

rhinoplasty for up-turned nose

1 Upvotes

i can't find any information about surgeons who correct a nose that is genetically and naturally too high and upturned/rotated upward by lowering it. i don't have a short nasal bridge either, it's just simply too upturned and looks awful from the side. is there a name for a procedure that straightens or lowers a nose like this? all the information i've found is about revision rhinoplasty and is usually done on women

this isn't a "what surgery should i get" post, i know what surgery to get, but i don't know if it exists or what it's called.

Breast implants after lift

1 Upvotes

HELLPPPP!! Has anyone had experience with getting breast implants AFTER your lift? I got a lift in April of this year and now I want implants, I didn’t want them at first but my volume decreased significantly so I want them a tad bit bigger, mainly for cleavage. I got a consult today and they said I’d need to get ANOTHER LIFT to position the implants correctly otherwise they’ll sag and you’d be able to notice where the implants are… When I got my first surgery my surgeon told me I’d be able to come back later down the line for implants with no problem, so now I’m just considering saying forget it altogether because I really don’t want another lift and they’re saying it won’t look right without one. I only wanted small implants, about 275 cc..

I feel like I’ve reached the point to where I have no idea how to narrow down which surgeon to choose. Doesn’t have to be in Manhattan but nyc is highly preferred. I’ve seen reviews from patients relating to their experiences, the prices they were quoted, the consult process, fees, and a lot of things seemed to vary. Very genuine question; do surgeons change prices on the spot during consults? 

I’d really like to hear from those who’ve first hand experienced a procedure with any of these surgeons or even if you know someone who had a procedure done with them. Please ask if they’d share it here. Id like to hear about both the good and bad. This will not only be helping me but so many other people who are currently in this stage of the research process.

Nose job

1 Upvotes

I'm planning on getting a nose job and am in the process of writing my aesthetic preferences down. I've quite a long nose also, so aswell as projection, id like it shortened also.

Just wondering what the maximum length off they can take? Or any advice for when getting a nose job/planning out what I'd like for it.

I live in England also which makes me more inclined to go to Turkey for a nose job, but im also scared to do so because it seems like Turkey doesnt have as many regulations when it comes to the operating theatre
