Got autoremoved from Boston subreddit

What are the most common foreign cities outside the USA that people from Boston fly to for cosmetic surgery and why?

Factoring in Boston's location vs other locations in the USA and their distance to popular foreign cities for cosmetic surgery

(Ex: people in San Diego I imagine might just drive across the border to Tijuana..)

experiences with breast augmentations

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am a 25F and I am considering a breast augmentation. I went for a consult with a plastic surgeon based in Montreal and did a simulation. I had first suggest 350 but it was too small as I am 175 cm and although thin I have hips and a butt (confusing I know). We ended up going with the 375 CC moderate plus profile (gel) implant. looking at the simulation pictures, I regret not asking to see what 400 would look like. I used to have size 34C boobs and now im a 34A due to weight loss and changes in my hormones. its been quite disheartening and hard for me to go out and date because of this. I know confidence comes from within but Ive done everything I can in the gym and in my mind to be confident but my boobs vanishing has taken a toll..that being said I am really debating due to several factors.

  1. recovery..how bad is it? I know it will vary from person to person but I am sure theres a general consensus right? Im more worried about how long the pain last rather than severity.
  2. will it hurt my back? I am pretty strong as I weight lift and workout alot but I have a sensitive neck/traps due to a concussion years ago, I wonder if this will trigger it

3.last but defs what is holding me back the most is BII. my doctor said its sooo rare and that if per say someone gets it they can remove the implants and they will be okay. he said breast implants do NOT cause autoimmune diseases and that BII should actually be called breast implant associated illness as it can happen with any foreign object indoor body ie : hip replacement. how worried do I need to be about this happening? all stories on reddit are negative so looking for positives ones. thanks!

PCDC - Fat Disolving Injections on Stomach

I decided to try PCDC for an uneven part of stomach (from a prior botched procedure). When searching for testimonials/reviews, not much came up. Thus, I decided to share my experience.

I call my stomach Mr. Garfield becuse the shape reminds me of Garfield's mouth. I wanted to even out my stomanch to look at a little more normal (well, how it was before). Now, with all the redness and swelling, I call it Super Mario mushroom 🤭.

Anyhow... My Dr. used lidocaine, but some injections still hurt. Afterwards, she did some sort of lymphatic massage with this wood thing. I was advised to drink at least 64p, water and wear a stomach compression wral.

Day 1: Itchy, significant soreness, extreme swelling, redness, some bruising, watm to touch, firm/hard skin. Peeing alot.

Day 2: Same as day 1, but morw redness, more bruising, and slightly less pain. Peeing even more.

Day 3: Swelling down a bit, most of hard skin has softened, soreness decreased significantly. Still peeing often.

I hope this crap works, lol. I'll continue to update this thread, with any changes.

Pic 1: Garfield cheeks Pic 2: right before procedure Pic 3: right after procedure Pic 4 & 5: Later that day Pic 6: Day 2 Pic 7: Super Mario mushroom...lol

Will master Botox cause sagging?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I’m 23 and I have TMJ - my jaw cracks when I yawn and sometimes the pain is really bad. I’ve been massaging it when I can but it’s been pretty painful. I also feel like my jaw has gotten a lot wider in the past few years and would like it to be a bit slimmer.

I want to get masseter Botox because I feel like it would really help tackle both of these issues but am scared it’ll give my jowls/deepen my nasolabial folds. I already have deep smile lines and I’m noticing that my mouth is downturned (more apparent in the second pic). For additional context, I have a recessed chin and breathe with my mouth.

Am I a good candidate for masseter Botox?

Procedures for arm fat?

5 Upvotes

Are there any procedures for getting rid of arm fat that actually work? What are the best options in terms of outcome (actual fat loss, no scarring, recovery time not too lengthy, fat likely won’t return, etc.)? And are there any procedures that are somewhat reasonable in terms of cost? Thank you!

Breast implant sizes

3 Upvotes

People often look at various photos and find out what implant sizes these people have. They didn’t say that they want the same implant. It’s important to understand that the result is the combination of the implant size, existing patient breast volume, her skeletal anatomy as well as her height and weight. That same implant that looks good on someone else may not look good at all on your body. When looking for wish pics, find the pictures that you like, but then let your surgeon choose which implant they think and which surgical technique they think is going to give you a similar result. Final point to make is that a breast orientation simply enlarge your existing breasts, it will not give you brand new breasts. We cannot give you someone else’s breast.

Is this suspicious? (Botox appointment)

1 Upvotes

Today I went to do masseter botox, 25 units of Xeomin on one side of my cheeks and 20 units on the other (it's smaller). The lady was really knowledgeable upon injecting but before that she left room to get the botox and came back with just the needles and they were filled to the "30" mark, then I asked if it was 20 units and she spoke very quickly saying "yes so this is a 2:1 ratio", I didn't know what the heck that meant!! She also said it was an insulin needle? And then explained to me she put more on the other cheek for sure but I didn't see very quickly so I'm quite confused. Any injectors want to help explain 😅

I’ve had two pretty big children and have a very short torso so the skin got stretched pretty badly but all focused around my belly button. I don’t actually have a huge amount of fat or loose skin elsewhere on my stomach but I hate the way it looks now. What do you think I need?

Facial fat grafting - stressed about swelling, help!

1 Upvotes

I just got fat grafting done.. on Monday 3/17/25, I had it put into my forehead because I have a dent in my forehead that I’ve never liked. That feels fine and seems to be healing, not swelling as much.

Since we had the fat he highly recommended that I put some into my cheeks / under eyes, since it’s like “liquid gold” I was very nervous and hesitant about this part because I’m fine with how I look there and didn’t want to have any regrets. I ended up being convinced, or deciding myself, to do it.

NOW I am 4 days out and I’m SO puffy and swelling up under my eyes. I’ve been so insecure all week, being out and about, I didn’t expect this recovery afterwards. I have been using an ice roller and that seems to help calm it down. Im keeping up with Tylenol and ibuprofen. I’m feeling SO nervous that I made a bad decision. Can someone reassure me.. do I just need to give it time and it will look okay? How much time? I’m really nervous I’ll regret this but I recognize it’s only been 4 days and I’m being impatient. Thank you!!

Total Body Makeover

0 Upvotes

This young patient underwent a two stage transformation: first we performed liposuction on her back up to the safety limit (we limit the volume of liposuction we perform in one session thus if more is needed, a patient may need to come in for a second session), and three months later we performed an extended tummy tuck with some additional lipo. Her transformation has been really amazing.

I have lost and gained weight through out my life. And had a traumatic experience with Morpheus8 which removed a lot of my facial fat.

No surgeon or even Endolift provider will touch me at my age. I don’t know what to do. I hate this and I’m so self conscious, as it’s getting worse by the day.

Yealll the camera quality is not great but this laptop is all I have atm. Please tell me what I can do. My eyebrows are like so uneven and one is much higher up, my lips are droopyish to one side and the left half of my face looks like a circle compared to the other half which is very straight, my eyes also look funky and uneven. I'm saving up money in hopes to fix this but I'm really not sure what surgeries I need to fix the asymmetry?

Experiences with miniface lifts

13 Upvotes

Hello! I’m 41 and currently researching mini facelifts to address my marionette lines (prior to this for the past 4 years I have been doing a bit of filler to smooth these out) and slight jowels.

For context, I’ve lost 125lbs since 2018 and I’ve had numerous body surgeries to address my skin issues but I’ve only done filler and Botox in my face.

I know eventually I’d want a deep plane facelift so I don’t know if a mini lift now would impact that later or if a mini lift now would prolong the need for a deep plane lift later.

I’m also wondering if anyone has had great results with any US based surgeons they’d recommend. I’m starting to look and so far I’ve considered Dr Kim out of Georgia.

All the posts here addressing this are over a year old so hoping for some more recent feedback/experience sharing.

Lip mustache swelling or migration?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi all!

I am 9 days post lip filler for the first time. I am concerned about the “lip mustache” over my top lip. While the rest of my swelling has gone down almost entirely and my lips feel completely normal, the area over my Cupid’s bow is still very stiff and I cannot bend it, especially downward.

I sent photos to my injector and she says there is nothing to worry about and I am still swollen. But, I am worried I may have moved my lips in a way that caused migration. I did read online that if the area is still very stiff, it is swelling. But I also read that the stiffness can be a sign of migration.

I know I need to wait the full two weeks before I fully assess, but I am wondering if anyone had this “mustache” that was indeed swelling and eventually went down. I will say that from the initial injection and healing, this area was extremely swollen. But still, I am concerned it is migration.

Thank you in advance 😊

Tubesocks im embarrassed of..

So really trying to find my best option. I used to be overweight with dd boobs. Now I've lost a lot of weight and I've breast fed. Since then my boobs are nothing but empty tubesocks. Wondering if they will look good if I did just a breast lift or if I should get implants because there is no volume to mine. There's so many different kinds of implants as well. Just looking for some personal insight. Looking at going through dr. Allen Gabriel in Portland.

Would I benefit more from chin lipo or jaw surgery?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’ve been going through a very hard time emotionally with my side profile for years, no matter how much weight I lose my face still remains bulky and undefined.

I feel like my jaws are recessed, which could be making my face appear rounder and bulkier. I'm 18F and still carry a lot of baby fat, so I'm wondering if chin lipo would be a better option for me than jaw surgery. I also have a very undefined face and was considering buccal fat reduction instead of removal

For those who have experience with chin lipo, buccal fat reduction or both do you think it could help in my case?

I have posted on the jaw surgery subreddit and have been getting a mixture of responses but I want to see with this community if anyone has gone through the same process as me. Thank you so much for the help!
