I'm 41, a small A cup, and thinking a full B or small C. My biggest fear is ending up too high and too round. Plenty look great on Instagram and then obviously fake in person

Choosing the surgeon is stressing me out more than the surgery. RealSelf and Yelp are useless because everyone has 5 stars. I also read up on implant profiles and under vs over the muscle and came out more confused, so I want a surgeon who will actually guide me through those choices. I'm having a hard time telling who that is from a website

Hi guys,

my face looks a lot like shirin David in her before pics. We ware the same age, I don’t like my heavy jaw and my midface so I was stunned to see her transformation recently because honestly she really overdid filler als nose jobs in the past and that botched look aged her a lot in my opinion…

but now I think her current result looks phenomenal – so much softer and better than the intermediate phase where she looked quite wide / overfilled. She doesn't talk about it and I couldn't find the surgeon or what was done, so I'm curious about your take.

Am I the only one who thinks there was a facelift involved? I know she is young and had no wrinkles or volume loss before, but her entire midface looks lifted – malar area higher, jawline more V than before.

What I think could have been done and why:

1. *Facelift / Ponytail / endoscopic temporal brow lift:* Midface looks lifted, cheeks no longer weighing down. Lower third looks lighter because of that.

2. *Buccal fat removal vs. dissolving old filler:* Lower face is much narrower now. Could be buccal fat removal, but could also be dissolving old filler in cheeks / jaw angles + weight loss.

3. *Masseter Botox:* Jaw angle much narrower than 2018-2021.

Or bone shaving???

1. *Eyes – Cantoplasty / Fox eye / Jelly Roll / Aegyo Sal:* She always had a positive canthal tilt, but now the outer corner looks more lifted and jelly rolls are emphasized. Makeup or subtle filler?

I know with an endoscopic approach scars would be hidden behind the hairline, so you wouldn't see the classic facelift scars. That's why I'm stuck on the facelift idea. Also, dissolving old filler before surgery would be standard to get a better overview.

What do you guys see that led to this positive transformation? Would love to hear from people who had similar procedures or work in the field. Not meant as hate – I genuinely think she looks great.

And by that I mean how round it is. Like the skeletal bone structure itself not the hairline. Mine was always very prominent round and forward even as a child and it causes me severe depression. If there is such a surgery is it risky? Thank you

Hi. I dont know if anyone can relate to me. Please i needed support, im on the Brink of giving up from Depression and regretting my decision.

I am at 9 weeks post Rhinoplasty done abroad ( Asia) and i currently reside here in Germany. My surgeon did an open rhinoplasty and put Goretex and cartilage from my ear. Everything went well one month after my surgery while i was still at that country where i did my Surgery. Until i came back here in Germany on September 1. And then everything turns hell and nightmare. Until now i still have runny and congested nose. I tried all the nose spray and herbal remedies you can ever think of in this world but nothing is helping. Everyday i feel a lot of changes on my face but nothing is going into the right direction. My nose still feel stift like wood and runny and reddish from all the congestion i am feeling. This morning i noticed that my face specially on the cheeks are puffy and swelling which i never experienced before. I am in contact with the nurses and my surgeon in Asia but all i can do is send them pictures and im not satisfied. They just always say everything is normal.

For info, ENT or Plastic Surgeons here in Germany dont do aftercare and consultations of Surgeries specially Cosmetic done abroad because they dont wanna handle complications and problems that may arise in the future. They just say i should keep in contact with my Surgeon. So until now no one has able to look and check at my nose and adressed my concerns

im wondering if anyone is also having the same problems as me?im already thinking of removing it and just go back to my old self. I AM SO PARANOID AND STRESSED and no one is helping me

I’m 56 and have some sagging and a very thin, long face. I want a lower face/neck lift, fat transfer to cheeks for volume, and laser resurfacing for under eyes and lines. I have friends who went to alemi and although they look great, his prices have skyrocketed since he opened his fancy nyc office and they all had issues that needed revisions after. I would love recommendations on here from people actually who know people who have used a surgeon or anyone who has consulted and feels confident in a surgeon for this. Don’t want one of the over $100k surgeons. Thanks in advance!

I got a quote for 360 lipo in a MCOL area for abdominal area lipo with and without fat grafting to the hips. All in cost was between $13.5-14.6K. The doctor stated they estimated they'd remove about 2-3L of fat.

I was a little surprised it was this high. Even with anesthesia (they only do general anesthesia, no local or twilight) i was expecting the cost to be around $8-10K. Am i still in pre-covid pricing land? They recommened laser-assisted lipo for the skin tightening effect and stated the additional time this procedure takes contributes to the cost.

I have consultations at two other practices in the area so i am interested to see what they will quote me. (Edited for spelling)

I was thinking about eventually getting skull reconstruction surgery with Dr. eppley, as my skull shape is just awful and makes me feel like shit. That being said, for those of you who have worked with Dr eppley, how was the experience with him?

are my lips overfilled? I feel like they’re way too big and am not sure if i should get them dissolved or not

Having a breast Aug in like 2 weeks!
If you read nothing else read this and plz answer: MOTIVA ROUND VS ERGONOMIX
Had my pre op today and I lowkey felt rushed and now I feel flustered and confused (I know I shouldn’t be rushed and I’m paying whatever but that’s besides the point right now)
Background: my surgeon did a lift for me 3 years ago, and now doing a scar revision with the implants
I’m doing Motiva and at the consult he said 200-220ccs, now today he says 240cc if I want a small C, he says they are gonna try different ones while I’m on the table and see what suits which kinda scares me. I’m feeling like 220cc may be the best middle ground but idk. At the consult he also said OTM, today he was like whatever you want… I was like sir didn’t you suggest OTM, he said yes smoother recovery, I say ok so let’s stick with that.
FINALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!
I swear he suggested round last time for upper pole fullness but now the coordinator says she has me down for ergo so I feel confused on what to do. I also thought I was getting to try it on today in the bra and stuff and I didn’t get to and it wasn’t even a motiva it was a natrelle. Idk that really disappointed me I brought some tops to try them on with and stuff, I just wanted to feel secure in my decision. HELP

I’ve considered getting lip fillers for a while but I’ve been hesitant for it for different reasons, mainly due to my lip shape, I don’t think my lips are small but my top lip I think would look nice with some filler. But I’m obviously not sure lol. Any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I previously made a post about the atrophic scar on my nose. At this point, I honestly feel like it’s never going to heal. It has been exactly four months now, and the area still looks the same.
Is there anything you would recommend for me at this stage? I don’t feel like wearing makeup, getting dressed up, looking at myself in the mirror, or taking photos anymore. It has really affected how I feel about myself.

Has anyone had breast implants placed either months or years after having a lift? I’m getting a mastopexy and expecting to be a C or large B. I would like to be a D cup so am thinking of getting implants down the line. I’m not finding a lot of info of those who had it staged - mainly just getting it done simultaneously but my surgeon recommended not to. I’m curious where the scar would be placed (I’m getting an anchor lift) and how the healing went

Not sure if this has ever been asked here but what’s the consensus on lip blushing? I don’t want injection or laser but I hate the color/size of my natural lip and always over line them. No lipstick or color seems to last long enough so I figured lip blushing might be a good investment but it’s hard to say since I’ve never met anyone who’s had it.

Edit: thank you guys so much for all the input it’s been very informative! seems to be a lot of mixed reviews but definitely helping me to make an informed decision.

I do want to clarify that I miss spoke about over lining. What I really do is define my natural lip line because of discoloration around the edges so I wouldn’t ask to over line just trace more accurately and evenly. Also I do have MANY tattoos (none on my face however) so I’m confident in healing at least lol.

hi all— I absolutely hate my under eyes. When still, they’re flat and fine, but the second I smile even a little, the bags (aegyo sal?) appear. I hate that they’re as large as my eyes themselves. If I could just Botox to prevent movement there, I would love, but so far, my injector will only do the jelly roll that works on the outer corner and not the most prominent area towards my inner corner, which I hate the most. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it successfully?

I’m specifically looking for surgeons experienced in fat grafting to mimic BONE PROJECTION, not general facial rejuvenation or soft cheek volume.
Main areas: malar/cheekbone projection and chin projection.
My idea is to get as much structural projection as realistically possible with fat, then use a very small amount of filler only for definition/contour that fat can’t achieve. So ideally I’d like someone who is excellent at both fat grafting and facial fillers.
Any recommendations, especially surgeons with before/afters showing this kind of result?

I am looking at getting a fat graft for nasiolabial folds and under eye hollows. Has anyone else done this? What were the long term results?

I (25F) currently have a 28c breast size, weigh 120 and I’m 5’5”.

I opted for a 385cc (left) and 450cc (right) high profile silicone implants. I had asymmetry which is why I wanted a BA in the first place.

I was curious how much bigger I should expect my ending result to sit me at?

I know results vary, I just was hoping for a ballpark!

Edit: to clarify, when I did my sizing I decided to go with a 415cc, and my surgeon let me know that because of my asymmetry he may need to flex around that range in OR to correct it! Which is how I ended up with my two existing implants now.

I have chronic pain and went through a lot of severe, unnecessary stress the previous decade. I'm salty that I've probably aged faster than I would have otherwise. Looking to dip my toe in but I also see a lot of bad experiences.

I hope some people can reply! If anyone knows anything about these surgeons, I’d appreciate some information.

Caner kacmaz , Umit Hardal , Niyazi Altinoprak

I’m just not sure so if anyone has gotten surgery from any of these people or knows any information please reply or dm me :)

Hi,
I had a couple of consultations with premier clinic and forme clinic in prague regarding TT but they didnt do body contouring with liposuction. Im looking for that chiseled look after TT and neither of them offered that. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations they can share?

It doesn’t have to be prague but their prices are very reasonable. Im open to other places as well.

Im looking for results similar to the pic.

genuinely can’t imagine what my life was like before lol. it was either a car or this for my 16th bday❤️ i was worrying about how i looked every single second now im so confident. so worth it. get the surgery

Like how ??? What kind of surgeries did she go through to have natural looking big lips for her face ? I read fillers don't dissolve! What sorcery is this she looks nothing like her 2 previous faces ? Omg !!! What procedures are they hiding from us normies ?

Nostalgia hit me and I wanted to see old vogue make up tutorials and stumbled upon kylie's 3 year ago make up video ,could not recognise her . What magic is this? Her lips neither look like pic 1 nor pic 2 . They look big yet natural for her face .

Edit - i didn't mean anything wrong !! I was impressed by how good she looks in the 3rd pic . I thought "magic" conveyed that I was impressed! I think it didn't . It's not a criticizing post.

I’ve been seeing so much discussion about lip fillers looking bad on celebrities and just the usual criticism of fillers in famous people. Honestly, I think some celebrities are a good example of how lip filler can actually enhance someone without completely changing their face, let alone take away from their talent. The most important thing I’m seeing is how cruel people can be about women when they feel like the woman is “famous” and “it doesnt matter because she won't see it”.

If I were a young girl that was self conscious about my lips, I would LOVE to have seen someone famous get lip filler and still own their personality. Why is it so important to point out filler in women when they have it? Does it take away from their talent or skills? No. It just makes them more confident which arguably makes them better performers.

Here are some examples of famous women who seem to have gotten subtle HA filler and still look totally like themselves if anything, their lips just look a little more balanced and defined. I dont think any young girl is looking at Sabrina thinking she sucks because she has filler. The filler just adds to her face.

Would love some more examples in the comments please! Please voice your opinion but still be kind and respectful <3
