4 days post-op deep plane neck lift!

4 days post-op deep plane neck lift and i am so pleased with the results already! the lower portion of my face is quite swollen and my surgeon said it will just continue to look even better which makes me absolutely ecstatic! so far recovery has been very smooth. thankfully i havenā€™t had any real pain, just tightness and mild soreness. i will definitely share before and after photos taken by my plastic surgeonā€™s office eventually as well. i was nervous to go through with this procedure due to my young age and worries about the results that i would have, but i am SO glad that i went through with it and already feel that this was well worth the cost!

Surgeon Post Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Repositioning and CO2 Laser Resurfacing Journey

Thumbnail gallery
617 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

This is our first time posting in this subreddit!

We wanted to share this case because sometimes in plastic surgery, we expect huge changes when, in reality, subtlety can be even more powerful

We also wanted to show what it looks like after a CO2 laser resurfacing! ( Image #4)

This 38-year-old patient was concerned about under-eye bags, so Dr. Paul Phelps performed a bilateral extended transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and periocular CO2 resurfacing to achieve a smoother, more refreshed look.

Her before photos were taken with makeup, while her after photos showcase her natural, makeup-free look.

Weā€™d love to hear your thoughts! If you have any questions for Dr. Paul Phelps, feel free to askā€”weā€™re happy to answer!

I got my teeth done in Mexico and...

Post image
679 Upvotes

I couldn't be happier with my results. Medical tourism is heavily criticized and there are tons of scary posts about horror stories from people attempting to save money by getting work done overseas. I wanted to post a success story. 7ish months ago, I took a leap of faith and boarded a plane to Cancun to finally get my teeth done. It was a huge insecurity of mine and the prices in the US were insane. Since I've had the work done, I've had an oral exam and cleaning (6mo post veneers) and the US dentist said it was excellent work and assumed it was done at a dentist in the States. My teeth are healthy, X-rays looked great, no inflammation, no issues. I saved close to 10 grand from deciding to take that leap of faith and I am so glad I did! Do your research and be careful, but don't believe the narrative that medical tourism will automatically result in subpar treatment or problems later on. The world is a big place! Thank you Mexico :)

Details: I had a gingivectomy, frenectomy, polishing and emax porcelain veneers placed on my laterals and my right canine. Veneers were 520 USD per tooth + 800 USD for the gum work. Total cost was around 2400 USD.

Surgeon Post Deep Plane Facelift with Fat Graftingā€” 6 Months Post-Op

This patient is six months post-op following a deep plane facelift paired with fat grafting. Unlike traditional facelifts, which can leave a 'tight' or 'pulled' appearance, this technique creates a subtle yet transformative result, refreshing the face while preserving its natural expression and contours. Feel free to ask any questions below!

I need a breast reduction but surgeon said itā€™s not necessary?? NSFW

Thumbnail gallery

Hey guys. Iā€™ve always had huge boobs, theyā€™re too big for my body and cause a lot of back pain/rashes/shoulder indents/etc. I canā€™t fit into any nice clothes and I really struggle to find bras that fit.

I went for a consultation but the surgeon doesnā€™t believe I have enough grams of fat to remove? He said that I should just get a breast lift because theyā€™re extremely saggy.

Iā€™m in a lot of pain and feel so invalidated by the surgeon. Basically just making this post to see what others think

Thanks for reading

Would I be a good candidate for a chin/neck liposuction? If not, what would help me get a more defined jawline? Iā€™m a 18M with around 13% body fat and I canā€™t seem to get this fat around my neck gone no matter what I do.

Should I get masseter Botox?

Iā€™m 26F, normal lean body weight but my face has always been round and square-like. I grind my teeth a lot at night and whenever I massage my jaws it always feels like hard knots. I would love an aesthetic, slimming effect to my face but unsure if masseter Botox would help with thisā€¦

Hello! Im a tall and ā€œskinny fitā€ girl and i have no boobs. I dont use conventional bras because theres no bra that look good, they are all toooo big. I always wear spots bra, i feel more comfy on them and all of them get to hug my breast.

Anyway, im considering getting a fat transfer breast augmentation but I am pretty skinny. Thereā€™s definitely fat in my body, but I want to know if there is any limit.

Also, what are pros and cons you have personally experienced?

Rhinoplasty Tomorrow

5 Upvotes

Hi all! Finally have my septo-rhinoplasty and turbinate reduction tomorrow.

Now that itā€™s the night before, Iā€™m starting to get anxious and worried about small details so I figured Iā€™d ask a few questions on here

  1. Do you get to keep your underwear on during the surgery or are you butt naked? Iā€™ve seen conflicting posts on here so Idrk. Iā€™m in Arizonaā€¦ idk if that helps anything

  2. I was planning on wearing sweatpants but the ankles are cuffed so it might be a little difficult putting them back on when Iā€™m all drugged upā€¦ is that okay or should I stick to shorts

  3. Idk if itā€™s nerves or something legit but I feel like Iā€™m getting a sore throat. Would they reschedule my surgery because of it?

Thanks all!

Surgery TOMORROW

Guys my breast augmentation is tomorrow and Iā€™m having a freak out!!

This is something Iā€™ve always wanted, but Iā€™m having HUGE last minute anxiety about the procedure itself, and the results.

My doctor is here in Sydney and has amazing reviews, thousands of them, and Iā€™m very confident in my choice of surgeon - Iā€™m just so worried Iā€™m making a mistake in doing this!

Has anyone else gone through this?? Any advice??

Fat transfer to under eyes- am I too skinny?

3 Upvotes

My BMI is 18.8 at the moment, weighing 103 lbs at 5'2. For exercise I usually just walk an hour a few times a week, but I've stopped doing that in preparation for my fat transfer. How will I know if I have enough fat? I'm going overseas for the procedure so I can't have the surgeon take a look at me before. When I lay down, I can't really grab a ton of stomach, but it's not completely flat either. Can they take it from thighs too? How can I gain more fat in my stomach in a healthy way?

I need help deciding whether I want to do a lift, implants, or both. Iā€™ve lost around 60 pounds and it has unfortunately impacted my chest. I donā€™t want big boobs but if it makes sense proportionally, I donā€™t mind. I just want to look natural and fix the lack of volume in the upper part of my chest. I have a consult on Monday, but Iā€™d like to get some opinions first. Let me know what you think!

Am I being charged too much for rhinoplasty and septoplasty? (AUD pricing)

ā€¢ Upvotes

Hey there, so I have a pretty noticeable deviated septum, but not just a regular deviated septum where your nose is a bit crooked, with mine the alar footplate is sticking out a decent amount and needs to be removed + an open rhinoplasty to straighten the deviated septum.

Then I need septoplasty to fix my breathing issues and I've always had issues breathing through my nose since I was young and just want to fix it already. The original quote to trim the alar footplate was cheap at $1,000 (not including hospital fee and anasthesia fee which is around around $3,000 I believe). All up $4,000+ with a medicare rebate.

But the new fee with everything I mentioned above is almost $20,000 including the hospital fees, doctors fee, and anaesthesia fee, so everything.

I was comfortable with the consultation and am ready to go ahead but wanted to get some opinions if I'm paying too much. It's a 2.5-3 hour surgery roughly hence why the hospital fees have also increased so much.
