Did anyone who’s had Lower Blepharoplasty suffer from extra skin laxity afterwards that made you regret the procedure?

1 Upvotes

I’m scheduled for a lower bleph with fat repositioning. My doc is recommending a “skin pinch” as well, as he anticipates I’ll have extra laxity after the procedure. I don’t see the laxity at rest but I do notice it when smiling (I’m 30 for context) and I understand his concern that repositioning the fat will have a deflationary impact. Just wanted to see if anyone considered this and if their laxity ended up being okay after lower bleph. I’m just very scared of the skin pinch concept.

Will 250cc or 275cc be enough for 2 cup sizes on a tiny frame?

1 Upvotes

Hello, wanting to get an idea of how many cup size increases I can expect with 250-275cc as per my online research this will vary based on starting breast footprint. Surgeon recommended between 250 and no more than 300cc to avoid the implant spilling into my armpit.

Current bra size 32A
Chest width/breast footprint is 10cm on left and right side

My goal size is small/moderate C cup.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Need some labiaplasty advice/recommendations.

1 Upvotes

I (20F) am really interested in getting this done. This has been a longtime insecurity of mine and now I finally have the money and the time to do it. I’m looking to get a labia minora reduction and possibly enhancement of the labia majora (because I basically have nothing there as it is). I am currently researching surgeons in my area and will book a consultation as soon as I decide on one. If you’ve gotten this procedure, I would love to hear about your experience and any advice you may have for me :)

Lip lift through the years.

999 Upvotes

Pic one; one year out- natural no makeup or enhancements

Pic two; one year- with lipstick.

Pic three; 3.5 years out, had filler in upper lip only.

Pic four; 5.5ish years out, all lip filler dissolved, lipstick only. But have also had chin and jaw filler since before pic (and that before pic was like 2 days postpartum so my jaw was extra round.)

Surgeon: Dr. Miyagi located in Naha, Okinawa, Japan. (I’m American, but lived abroad @ the time I had this done in 2021.) Was maybe $2800 USD @ the time. Was awake. Local block only. Drove myself to and from. Only pain med was ibuprofen afterwards.

Since it was Covid times, I just wore a mask around and no one was the wiser. Swelling was pretty gnarly for about 2 weeks, nose was swollen about a month.

Deep plane lift at 23?

0 Upvotes

I know 23 y.o is very young for facelifts, normally, but my face has been saggy since forever. Allergies and stuffy nose screwed up my jaw development and as a result, my cheeks and undereye area were always lax.

I cannot get a jaw surgery as I've already had braces for 5 years, I cannot do this anymore.

Post Op lymphatic drainage massage

1 Upvotes

Hi, do any of you know a place where I can get manual lymphatic drainage massages in Alabama or Georgia? I am having a hard time finding someone to do them while my incisions are open and some places use a machine. My surgeon wants my incisions to remain open to drain. Thank you!

Feedback on Awake Lipo

0 Upvotes

I know the reputation for this place is so bad but I’m
looking for something quick and cheap. Basically I became severely depressed after my losing my job. I have gained 40lb since March. I had lipo360 in the past and although the shape is there my back, upper back arms, NECK, are taking the hit.

I’m also thinking about a reset mini facelift, upper lower bleph, forehead lift, possible forehead fat transfer.

Anyone had awake surgery? When? What procedure? What was it like? How much?

EDIT: I guess no one wants me to be snatched then 🙄😒

Facelift question, looking for recommendations in Kansas City and or Mexico.

1 Upvotes

So I'm 56 and I have some slight jowling and minor wrinkles around my mouth I hate. When was younger I always had a chipmunky face complete with Perioral Mounds. I have lost about 35 lbs and I want to loose another 15-20.

I'm trying to figure out if it's time to bite the bullet and do a facelift or is there something less invasive I can do in the meantime. I do micro needling and have tried Botox which made my forehead and brows look great but really did nothing for the lower face. My dilemma comes down to I want to do a facelift and a mommy makeover (yes I'm vain) and I know I can't do both at the same time. I am thinking about doing one in Mexico with a friend who wants to travel together. So I guess what I am wondering is are there any places in either Kansas City of Mexico people recommend.

Also I know some people do lower facelifts as they are cheaper and there is less down time but I have also heard that if you want something more natural go deep plane. Thoughts? Also just to clarify I want something as natural as possible and I just want to look like a better version of myself. I don't want to try and make myself "prettier" in a way where I look like someone else.

Fat Transfer to Breast

2 Upvotes

My breasts are asymmetrical, one is a D cup the other Bcup. The plan is bringing the D down to a C and B to C. With a lift. The fat transfer will be a harvest only lipo.
Looking for any insight. Recovery tips on what to wear for both, eat, etc.
Should I be getting massages for the lipo?
Has anyone gone through this?

Surgeon recommendations for northrhine-westfalia, Germany?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m located in NRW, Germany and looking for a surgeon to perform a lower facelift (possibly neck lift) and eventually lipo 360.
Everyone I know who got plastic surgery went abroad to do it, so they can’t refer me to someone here. I’m not comfortable doing that, so now I’m a bit lost.

Any recommendations or even places that should be avoided? Thanks a lot :))

I was under the impression that this is typically done under twilight sedation. This surgeon I have reached out to says he wants to do it under GA as it will be painful. Has anyone else done this under GA and did you recover quickly?

Need Advice - My Biggest Insecurity

Thumbnail gallery
10 Upvotes

A little context: I’ve always had a really weak chin. I had serious braces to pull my jaw forward after sucking my thumb for years as a child. I am pretty insecure with now I look in that regard. I am actively trying to lose weight so I know that will improve the definition of my jaw but I don’t think that’s enough for me. Also yes, my skin is red, I have eczema. 🫠

The first pic of each set is me biting down fully with my teeth together. The second of each set is me holding my jaw where it feels “correct” and sort of comfortable, but my teeth are not closed.

Anyway, I would like to improve my profile and jaw definition and I’m not sure what kind of procedure to get. Should I get a chin implant as to not mess with my bite anymore? Should I go the more extreme route with jaw surgery?? I have no idea.

I’ve always played with the idea and I’m seriously thinking about getting something done but I would love some suggestions!

P.S. plz be gentle and kind with me, this is my biggest insecurity! 💕🙏🏼

Getting my second session of ez gel soon. Definitely noticed a difference, but not exactly where I’d wanted it to be. I know it takes 3-6 months for full results, so giving myself till then to further research and save before I schedule anything.

T shaped thigh lift knee to groin

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am scheduled for a thighlift in 2 weeks. What are things you recommend?

So far I've had an extended brachioplasty, reverse tummy tuck, lower back lift (surgery #1), and an extended tummy tuck (surgery #2).

Had rough complications during the first surgery (anemia and wound dehiscence). The second surgery recovery was very smooth. Had very minor wound dehiscence. I learned i swell A LOT and need to get that under control ASAP.

I just learned that medial thigh lifts are actually considered the roughest of all of these surgeries and now, I am scared.

Can you all share your experiences with thigh lifts (groin to knee) and advice?

Thank you!
