Plastic surgery

[Ibrakeforpossums]

I had a 4-lid bleph, best thing I ever did, easy to heal. I have breast implants as well, painful recovery but I'm happy. The tummy tucks are even more painful, the day after patients are bent over holding their belly as to not lose their viscera. But people seem happy with those results, too.
I wouldn't do the butt thing. If you do implants it means no driving and sleeping on your belly for weeks. The filler/fat transfer things scare me.

Rome, Italy. My partner and I plan to save up to travel to see him when gravity outweighs frugality

Dang. The land of Pininfarina. Thank you.

No stigma, just make sure you have a really good Dr. Surgery like this scares me, I watch too much Botched.

I’m also in SoCal, so yeah it’s the norm out here. Both my sisters have had breast augmentations. Multiple surgeries for both - bigger, bigger and then removal. My bestie has had a tummy tuck and loves the results. It’s such a personal decision. Do what makes you happy.

Within my larger social network there are few that have had a full facelift, and they look great but not necessarily younger.
My daughter’s partner’s mother had a full facelift last year at 48 (she’ll always be beautiful regardless), and her mother has had two in her 80 years and she looks amazing! They are from Brazil, such a beautiful, vibrant culture.
I’m too scared to undergo surgery for cosmetic reasons but have been thinking about a lip procedure that would stop my lipstick from running/bleeding.
I grew up with a mother and aunt that loved cosmetics and they couldn’t be without their lipstick, they would constantly say “you need to apply some lippy” to each other - very funny!

Spouse was contemplating a maxillary dental implant and she was told that she had too little bone above the site and would first need a "sinus lift." She said "If I'm gonna pay $3,000 to have something lifted, it sure as h3ll won't be my sinuses." But she went through with it and let me tell you she has the sinus of the 26-year-old beauty I first met. You've never seen a higher sinus.

No cosmetic surgery at all in either of our two extended families. Nose job I could see. But all the fillers and implants seem kinda sketch.

No value judgement. Just make sure you understand how long you will be under anesthesia and potential complications. Personally, I think you might get the results you want with your tummy and neck with the surgery. For your butt, you might consider squats and other exercises instead of surgery. It's amazing how easy IMHO it is to transform you butt from flat to round with exercise.

True story. We cycle and two years ago I forgot to refill my tires every week to their potential. And I wondered wondered why my a** was so high.

Nothing sketchy. Heavily researched and peer reviewed. Remember these products are used for people with congenital and traumatic deficits. Part of a corrective and reconstructive process. Very valuable tools. Off my Tide box now.

Working the job I do at a trauma center I see a lot of plastic surgeon's work - both cosmetic and reconstructive. Plastic surgery of both types is wonderful and changes lives. I follow this surgeon on instagram and have never seen such incredible work - he's truly an artist

Wow, amazing work!
I'm all for plastic surgery but without fillers or implants as the body can react to those.

Agreed. There is essential use and nonessential use. A colleague went to a developing country to have large volumes of some filler injected into various places. They can't wait to go back. There are plenty of reliable reports of bad things happening. Plus, many products are "approved" and are then used "off-label" for other indications (see: botox).

No disagreement.

Not lose their viscera…? Yikes!! Yeah I think sonobelo made good progress with fat transfers but that’s if my memory doesn’t fail me.
There was an interesting article about the views on plastic surgery in Brazil. They felt it increased the quality of life, gave you more opportunities, better treatment and even funded it for the general public there. Crazy right?!
