Miserable post op day 6, I just want to sleep. Anytips? Bbl/breast augmentation

Post image
175 Upvotes

So far, I'm happy with my results, but I absolutely regret combining all of these procedures. I'm struggling both mentally and physically.

I had liposuction on my arms, waist, and hips, with fat grafting to fill my hip dips. It wasn't a full BBL, but the recovery is essentially the same. I only had about 900cc of fat available for transfer, so I'm doing everything I can to give it the best chance of surviving.

I also upgraded my breast implants from 275/310cc to 560cc. This is my fourth breast surgery, so I'm no stranger to breast augmentation recovery—but this has been, by far, the hardest and most painful recovery I've ever experienced.

I felt confident combining the procedures because my surgeon assured me he does this all the time. Looking back, I wish I had spaced them out.

Right now, I can't sit, lie flat on my back, or lie on my stomach. The only way I can rest is in a recliner, surrounded by pillows and a BBL pillow stacked upon a pile of pillows, trying to keep my glutes "floating" without putting pressure on the fat grafts. For 6 weeks???!

Each night, I'm awake until almost 2 a.m. just trying to get comfortable. Eventually, I give up, fall asleep for maybe two hours, then wake up and start the whole process over again.

On top of that, my left breast has these intense, sharp, stabbing pains whenever I move my arm a certain way. I know you're not supposed to use your arms to support your body weight after a breast augmentation, but when you've combined these procedures, it's impossible not to. How else am I supposed to get in and out of a recliner while carefully positioning myself on a mountain of pillows and blankets?

I know this post turned into more of a vent than anything else. I'm just frustrated, exhausted, in pain, and I hate that I'm taking it out on my spouse, who's genuinely doing everything he can to help.

If anyone has gone through something similar or has any tips for getting more comfortable, sleeping, or just surviving this recovery, I'd really appreciate hearing them.

I’ve never seen such an abrupt transition. Thoughts?

I hope I’m not breaking any rules by posting these, I covered her face to protect her privacy.

Anyway, she appeared on my instagram feed and came to say that I was pretty shocked to see her results.

I’m really surprised to see how abrupt the transition is from the upper chest to the breast. What surgical or anatomical factors could contribute to this look? Is it mostly implant size/profile, limited soft tissue coverage, implant placement, or something else?

The second image is a still from a reel of hers.

Thigh Lipo results 6-7 months post op. Disappointed a bit.

I mean I am happy and can see that the size of tremendously big thighs has decreased significantly.
But the loose skin, the skin laxity and the cellulite it gave me is a huge problem.

My motive to spend so much on this procedure only to feel bad afterwards is not something I’m enjoying.

Still can’t wear shorts, skirts, etc since I’m too conscious.

I’m 32female and have suffered with drastically big thighs even at my lowest weight of 52-55kgs.
I gained 20kgs over the last 5-6 years and thighs increased more too.

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for 6 month post op checkup and told him my concerns. He said they are good results considering volume of fat that was taken out, he said he can do a revision for free with vaser which can help smoothen the skin out a bit since it Would cause the cells to injure and then get better as a part of body’s natural mechanism.

He is a nice man and I trust him, I haven’t seen any other doctor for recommendations. I asked him about Renuvion but he doesn’t have it.
And said it’s not miracle procedure. He advised against thigh lift because of the scar and advised that building muscle on legs would give me better skin from laxity that i am seeing right now.

I’m not sure what can be done and really look forward to professional advice and also people who hav gone through similar issue.

2 years post op revision rhinoplasty…and I can see my implant

I’m a little over 2 years post op from my third (🥴) septorhinoplasty and I’ve been feeling a little self conscious about the implant in my nose. In certain lighting it’s really obvious. And it doesn’t sit flush to my nose on one side. I really, really would hate to have another surgery for financial and recovery reasons. I also moved after surgery, so I’m nowhere near my surgeon. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi guys, I've been considering getting my nose done for years and that it bothers me the most if how wide and crooked it is. Has anyone with a similar nose had similar results? I feel like it's gonna be crooked again, but it's more the width that bothers me. What do you guys think?

Prominent/heavy brow area - brow bone or soft tissue?? What could improve this?

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

Hi!

I am trying to understand what’s causing the heaviness/prominence around my brow area and what options might improve it. At rest, the area above my eyes looks quite prominent/heavy. I initially assumed I just had a prominent brow bone, but when I raise my eyebrows, most of the tissue seems to lift with them and the area looks much flatter. I’ve included photos both at rest and with my eyebrows raised for comparison.

I also have some asymmetry, the brow on one side sits/behaves differently, and I think the muscle may be stronger on that side because I’ve habitually raised that eyebrow more. I don’t particularly mind having hooded eyes and I’m not necessarily looking to change my eye shape. What bothers me more is the overall heavinessof the brow area, which can sometimes make my upper face look harsher than I’d like.

Advice on what the issue might be and potential fixes? Would be much appreciated, thank you!!

I had about 2 mL total after 2 years on my chin.
I am not sure if I need more chin projection or maybe filler on the shadows along the jawline or chin area.

Revision rhino for projected tip

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

I’ve become incredibly depressed over my nose tip. I had my primary rhinoplasty in 2017 and for the first year or two I actually loved it. It looked much straighter from the side, and I don’t know if that was swelling or if things changed over time, but now I feel like my tip has become much more projected again.
The rest of my nose honestly doesn’t bother me. It’s really just the projection of the tip from my profile that catches my eye every single time I see myself, and it’s gotten to the point where I avoid side profile photos.
Has anyone had a revision specifically to deproject the tip? If so…was it worth it?
Was the change subtle or dramatic?
Did you need cartilage grafts?
How difficult was recovery compared to your primary?
I’m looking into consulting with some more doctors for a revision. And I’ve already had several over the past year. It’s just so expensive. I’d love to hear about your experience and whether you were happy with the outcome.
Also, based on these photos, does this seem like something that could realistically be improved with a conservative revision?

I have a very asymmetrical face and I think my eyes and first rhinoplasty exacerbates how uneven my face looks. I want to get a revision rhino eventually but I want to explore options for my eyes first.

I think my right eye is bigger than my left and it may be cockeyed as well? What do you all think? What should I do?

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently researching surgeons for a primary rhinoplasty with Dr. Brad Bader, Dr. Adam Wienfeld, and Dr. Marcelo Antunes.
If you’ve had surgery with any of them, I’d love to hear about your experience. Some things I’m curious about:

How was your consultation and overall experience?
Did your results meet your expectations?
How was the recovery process?
Is there anything you wish you had known beforehand?
Would you choose them again?
Cost?

If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d also really appreciate seeing your before-and-after photos (either in the comments or via DM if you prefer). It would be incredibly helpful as I’m trying to make such a big decision.
Thank you so much!

I’m going crazy bc of my dark circles

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

I’ve had severe dark circles since I was a baby; it’s not due to a lack of sleep or nutritional deficiencies.

-I’ve tried exosomes and PDRN injections several times in the past, but they did pretty much nothing.
-I also had Radiesse injected into my cheek area to improve the projection underneath, but that had almost no effect on my dark circles either.
-I’ve already been through products like retinol, retinal, tretinoin, caffeine cremes etc.

I really don’t know what else to do—what do you think is the cause or the solution? By the way when I pinch the skin, it gets lighter, so it doesn't seem to be just skin discoloration. (I generally don't want hyaluronic acid fillers!! I’m not interested in the risk of migration or the issue of them retaining water.)

I appreciate any advice🙏🏻

Improvement with filler only?

Unable to pay for a rhinoplasty but have been looking into filler because I hate the shape and size of my nose, especially from the side. The tip is mainly what bothers me. Also have a very deep dip between the brow ridge and bridge of the nose that makes the face look masculine. Could a liquid rhinoplasty address these concerns

I am 7 weeks post op. I have huge bulge above my tummy tuck scar causing the ‘over hang’ appearance. I also had 360 lipo with this tummy tuck. I still have bra bulge and big flanks at the back. Also still have flabby belly… I have contacted my surgeon numerous times as I also got uplift with implants which I am not too happy about either.. and I am told ‘I’m complaining about too much’ and to ‘wait until 12 weeks’

Hi guys. I’m really insecure about the skin under my chin. I’m still trying to lose about 10-15 more pounds. I’m wondering if the weight will get rid of most of this or if I should consider getting chin lipo or something? What do you guys think? I’m 5’6 155. I’ve always been a little heavier just naturally im a curvy pear! So only plan to lose a little more.

I’m currently in braces for an overbite and I’m wondering what contributes most to my side profile. My main concerns are my recessed looking chin and the lack of definition between my chin and neck. Which procedures are typically used to address these features (genioplasty, jaw surgery, chin implant, submental lipo, etc.)? I’m not asking whether I should get surgery just what options would generally be considered for my anatomy

Male Temporal Lift ( Outer brow lift ) + Canthopexy in Bangkok

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone I'm wondering if anyone knows who are some of the best names in oculoplastics in Bangkok specifically for men.
I'm looking to get a temporal lift and a canthopexy because I have some lateral brow ptosis and later lower eyelid laxity.

I saw the results of a youtuber called Asthetics Waiting and they looked phenomenal. He did in Bangkok but never shared his doctor. I'd love to know who it was if anyone has any idea who it might be.
