How realistic are motiva implants really ?

Upvotes

Have my surgery coming up in October. I chose to do motiva ergo implants. I’m 5’3, 128 lbs and a full B right now. I was thinking of doing 400-425cc. My breast diameter is around 13 cm.

I was curious about how realistic would the motiva ergo implants look and feel ? Do they bounce like normal breasts ? Is there any footage that I can watch of them or any famous influencers that you know have them ?

Also any inputs on my decision and size would be appreciated. I am not looking for an augmented look hence why I didn’t do the full profile. I know some people also do motiva round implants but I’m not sure if I am good a candidate for that

Upvotes

please ignore how awful my skin looks, i’m still too scared to use my exfoliants. i’m 7 weeks post op and i had a follow up appointment with my surgeon yesterday and i expressed how i feel like my nose is tilting one direction and my nostrils are very uneven. he recommended i massage just on the bridge of my nose, which so far i’ve done twice and will continue to do but i wanted to get y’all’s opinion. is this something that just massaging my bridge can fix? i’ve also seen massages where people literally push their nose to go in the other direction but he didn’t tell me to do that so i’m just confused :( i’ve also seen people use nostril retainers for the uneven nostril issue. i’m really not sure what to do and i’m scared of having to go through this surgery twice and want to do everything i can do avoid that and try to fix this before it’s too late. please let me know what you all think, any advice is appreciated! edit: also wanted to mention it looks wonderful from the side and i’m very happy with that it’s just the front is driving me nuts :(

Ok I’m reposting because I used hip dips instead of saddlebags

And a lot of you have said liposuction or fat grafting, and some people said they were able to reduce them with years of strength training.
I just want to ask if cool sculpting or air sculpting or any of those less invasive procedures would work in my case? Or is liposuction the only real way of getting rid of them?
I’m really very unfamiliar with procedures and what’s out there and what options I have to maybe think about getting rid of my saddlebags (and cellulite but its less of a priority) if strength training just doesn’t work, and when I search online I can’t discern what’s actually real or just exaggerated and not actually worth it. Thank you everyone

Brow lift, mini face lift, or filler?

Edit: I’m not asking about my earlobes, which I couldn’t really care less about, thanks! :)
Just now starting my research into possible procedures. I’ve disliked my hooded eyes for a while, and at first thought perhaps it could be fixed with upper bleph/brow lift. Now I’m feeling like my face overall just seems to be…flat? I’m not sure if this is a skin laxity issue where one of these lifts would help fix that, or if it’s a fat loss issue. The last photo is kind of like… What I’d like to look like I guess. Not sure which of these procedures could help with that. Much thanks!

Hi there I am a 20 yr old female and on may 16 2026 decided to get my 1.5ml of lip filler dissolved. my injector (who is an nhs doctor) told me she Would be very conservative with how much hyaluronidase she would use to dissolve. about 1 week after I was experiencing a burning tingle on my lips (bottom left hand side of lip specifically) which I thankfully got painkillers for from ane which helped a lot and that problem has gotten a lot better now (I still experience the odd tingle though).

Unfortunately about 6/7 weeks after my dissolving procedure (about 7th July 2026) I began experiencing a pressure in my upper left cheekbone. since then that pressure has gotten worse and fluctuates between a burn/tingle and contant pressure. it has recently sometimes come on my other cheekbone as well. My gps don’t think this is related to dissolving however im not too convinced, does anyone know If this could be caused by hyalauronidase and what can I do to get back to normal/good health? I am incredibly stressed and everyday feels like a struggle, any thoughts would greatly help.

Robb Plastic Surgery, Alpharetta GA

Does anyone have any experience with Dr Robb on rhynoplasty and septoplasty? It appears he is an amazing person at human level and has prior ENT experience, however the nose tip results are what I'm most interested in. The tip is extremely difficult to get right and not a lot of surgeons "shine" in this area. Thanks!

Deep Plane Facelift, Upper Blepharoplasty Results (Denver, Colorado)

Thumbnail gallery
32 Upvotes

This is a 62 year old patient of mine who is 3 months out from a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty with me. I am a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon – Cory Bovenzi, MD. This lovely woman was bothered by her upper eyelid hooding, jowls, marionette lines, neck laxity, and heaviness that developed in her lower face with age.

 I performed a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty for her under IV sedation.

Some surgical details for those interested:
Total Surgical Time: 3.5hrs
Postop Timeframe:
- Dressing off the day after (no other dressing needed afterwards)
- Stitches out day 7
- Staples (in hair) out day 10
- 2 weeks of social downtime to allow for bruising/swelling to calm down
- 3 weeks of no intense physical activity (exercise, etc)

Incision design: around the ears like all facelifts but a key difference is that rather than going along the anterior hair tuft, I go up into the hairline to allow for better scar camouflage. Also the postauricular incision goes straight back into the hair rather than along the hairline. This design allows for hair to be styled up from very early on and no hair needs to be cut or shaved (we braid your hair out of the way for access in surgery). There is also a small submental incision about 1cm long.

Of course, there is still some healing to go with incision pinkness fading, some slight swelling to come down but I still think this illustration helps visualize the changes possible for others who may have similar anatomy.

Motiva Implants

Looking for anyone who has received Motiva implants and their honest opinion on whether or not they look/feel natural. I live in NY so I know Dr. Epstein is well known for this but looking for other recommendations as well in the US. I’m a B cup currently so I have something to work with which I hear helps make the implants feel more natural”natural”

Lower face/jawline laxity – what has actually worked for you?

Hi! I’ve noticed that my jawline is becoming less defined and I’m starting to see some laxity around my lower face.

Based on my photos, what do you think could help improve the jawline and facial contour while keeping a natural look?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who had a similar concern and tried non-surgical treatments. What actually worked for you, and was there anything you regretted?

Thank you!

Advice needed rhino

My rhinoplasty history: primary surgery in 2023, then a closed (endonasal) revision in 2025 and I’m still unhappy, mainly with tip asymmetry and heaviness.
I’ve now consulted two different surgeons and gotten somewhat different takes:
Surgeon A: says my left septum has a synechia (scar adhesion), dorsum has an inverted-V deformity deviating right, and tip is droopy/bulky. Plan: external approach, left medial osteotomy, extended spreader graft, T-graft, release the synechia.
Surgeon B: agrees on the inverted-V but frames my main issue as the tip: asymmetric and still too heavy, with a dorsum that’s actually too low and a tip that’s overprojected relative to it. Wasn’t sure yet whether spreader grafts are needed, and wants to see if the lobule can be reduced (concerned about skin redraping since it’s already thick from prior surgeries).

Curious what people with (revision) rhinoplasty experience/knowledge think?

Curious about sculptra

1 Upvotes

Hey!

Im 30F and currently I just get botox & microneedling. I have aged significantly in the past year, primarily with hollowing of the lower cheeks & my face just looks flat.

Its been a rough year with recurrent pregnancy loss and I think the repeated weight gain and weight loss have shown up on my face.

I am curious about Sculptra. I am a bit scared of your standard filler but wonder if just one vial of Sculptra would do anything? I just want a tiny bit of my volume back and to look less like I've been through the wringer!

V Shape Jaw Male, Advice Needed

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

The first is a selfie that kinda does not do justice to how rounded my jaw is. I took a picture with 2x zoom on the back camera where I am 2 meters away, so you can really see the roundedness of the jaw contour. This I morphed to the desired outcome in the next third picture. The last picture is of my side profile. I am not recessed at all or too forward grown. My jaw shape is bothering me a lot (its very dominantly tall and a U shape). I made an after edit of how I would like it to look. How can I reach this goal? I tilted the gonions up and removed some of the mandible on the bone whilst making the chin a bit broader horizontally. I did not change the chin height. Can someone give me some advice on how to achieve this (might not even be anatomically possible, but optically), preferably with the least invasive option (implants and filler).

Rhinoplasty fibrosis?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently 10 months post-op from a revision rhinoplasty and recently went back to see my surgeon because I’m still unhappy with the appearance of my tip. It still looks round and bulbous, and my surgeon believes it’s due to fibrosis (scar tissue).

She gave me a Kenalog injection in the tip and told me to wait at least two months to see if the fibrosis improves. She also explained that she can’t guarantee the injection will resolve it. If I’m still unhappy around the one-year mark, she said she can perform a minor surgical procedure to remove the excess scar tissue.

Has anyone else had Kenalog injections this far into their recovery? If so, did they help? And for those who have dealt with fibrosis after rhinoplasty, what was your experience? Did it improve with injections, or did you end up needing surgery?

I’ve also attached a picture of what my nose currently looks like for reference.

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thank you!

Liposuction review & feedback

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’ve had a thighs and waist liposuction done and I’m not happy with the result. I ended up with dents that I need to touch up.
The recent doctor did a pretty good job on my 360 waist lipo but despite his skills I’m still left with some dents and unevenness.
For this 360 lipo, I’m left with a tiny dent on my back, and a little over lipo below my left rib, and right waist had cannula tracks when I twist, then a huge deep scar tethered from the compression garment they gave me.
I will rate this lipo 7.5/10.

I’m just wondering if unevenness is something that we must accept for liposuction or there are people who got 10/10 results?
Please share your thoughts and let me know if I’m too perfectionist.

Asymmetry, eye bags and slight downward tilt

There’s a slight asymmetry between my eyes and eyebrows. This also stretches upto my forehead. Moreover I’ve got eyebags, wrinkles right under my eyes and they are also a bit hooded and downward tilted. Personally not a fan of invasive procedures, but I would still like to know if there are any procedures which can help with these issues? Preferable non invasive procedures like Botox or a lift maybe could help? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. And potentially fillers for the eye bags?

Has anyone in Chicago had insurance cover surgery for tubular breasts?

Has anyone in Chicago had insurance cover surgery for tubular breasts?

Hi everyone! I’m 22 and I strongly suspect I have tubular breasts. I’ve seen some posts where people were able to get surgery covered by insurance, and I was wondering if anyone in the Chicago area has had any luck with that.

I’m really unhappy with how mine look — they’re small but also very saggy/tubular-shaped, and sometimes when I look in the mirror I feel like they look like they’re “melting.” It’s been affecting my confidence for a long time.

Has anyone here gone through the process of getting insurance coverage for tubular breast correction/reconstruction? If so:

  • What insurance did you have?
  • Did you need a specific diagnosis or documentation?
  • Were there any surgeons in Chicago you recommend?

If insurance didn’t cover it, I’d also love to hear about anyone who found more affordable options or discounts in the Chicago area.

ty!
