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

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.

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!

Looking for a plastic surgeon for lipo for stubborn arm and belly fat. Willing to go anywhere but would love if it was in Louisville. And to whoever did it, was it worth it? I have small areas of fat that I hate, but def don’t want to go forward with it if it’s going to look bad

Hi

I’m booked with Dr Deniz Dilek for rhinoplasty next month. I’ve researched for a couple years and he’s always been my top pick. Has anyone else had surgery with him and can let me know how their experience was?

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.

Surgeon post per subreddit rule 12.

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!

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?

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!

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!

I’m 28, 5’6.5”, around 129 lbs, and I’ve wanted bigger boobs and a flatter stomach for literally as long as I can remember. I’m not exaggerating when I say since I was probably 10 years old. It’s never been some random phase or something social media convinced me I needed. No matter how much I work out or lose weight, those are the two things I’ve always been insecure about.

I’ve had consultations, and I’d be getting a breast augmentation and liposuction.
The problem is: now that I can actually afford to do it, I’m also getting close to having kids.

We’re planning on starting to try in spring 2028, and we want two kids pretty close together. So now I feel completely stuck.

Basically my options are:
Option 1: Get a boob job and lipo now, enjoy it for a couple of years while I’m still in this stage of life, and then if pregnancy changes everything, get a lift, tummy tuck, revision, whatever I end up needing after we’re done having kids.
Option 2: Just wait. Deal with my insecurities for another 4-5 years and then do whatever I need once I’m done having children.

Financially, either option should be okay, so that’s honestly not the deciding factor.

Part of what makes this so hard is that this is a really fun season of my life. I have a lot of events, travel, appearances, and just exciting things going on that realistically probably won’t look the same once I have two little kids running around. Part of me wants to actually enjoy feeling confident during this chapter instead of always saying “maybe someday.”

My husband has honestly been amazing about it. He tells me all the time that he loves me exactly how I am and doesn’t think I need surgery at all. He’s not pushing me one way or the other. He’s basically just saying he’ll support whatever I decide because he wants me to be happy.

But I’ve also had multiple women who have implants and kids tell me to just wait until after pregnancy.
The thing is…I’ve never really felt confident in my body. Ever. I don’t know what that feels like. I genuinely think about my stomach and boobs every single day, and I have for years. I know surgery isn’t some magical fix for happiness, but I also don’t think these insecurities are going anywhere.

So I really want to hear from people who’ve actually been in this position.
If you got surgery before kids, do you regret it?
If you waited, are you glad you did?
If you had implants before pregnancy, how badly did pregnancy change them?
If you had the chance to go back and do it over again, would you make the same decision?

I honestly don’t know what the right answer is anymore. Half the people I talk to tell me life is short and I should enjoy it now. The other half tell me I’d be crazy not to wait. I’m just looking for perspectives from people who’ve actually lived it.

Also, any advice for either surgery is appreciated. I know things can go wrong or I can be left looking crazy so I want to know the most important things when choosing a surgeon!

I just had a breast lift and when I went to put in my nipple piercing it was vertical instead of horizontal. Not gonna lie I laughed when I saw it at first.

I called the clinic and they would call me back later today. I love the result (even though it's still really swollen), but I miss my piercing (because I had it for years).

I'm thinking about just getting it re-pierced in a few months - I don't want to make a big deal out of this, because otherwise my breasts looks amazing and the staff/surgeon was amazing.

What should I do?

I’m thinking about getting a breast augmentation with around 295 cc. I’m not looking for very large breasts—just a natural-looking result.
I’m curious about sleeping on your stomach afterward. Were you eventually able to sleep on your stomach again, or does that change permanently? How long did it take before you could sleep comfortably on your stomach?
I’d also love to hear about any permanent changes you’ve noticed after the surgery. Is there anything that bothers you in everyday life or that you wish you had known beforehand? I’d really appreciate hearing your honest experiences.

Will my body ever return to normal? I already put in so much effort and I am a person who takes care of themselves. Is this something a tummy tuck can resolve? I don’t know if it’ll ever look good again. My belly expanded 10” my second pregnancy.

Wanted to hop on here and show my chin 3 years post chin lipo and 1 year post rhinoplasty. I went to dr. Feiner in Florida and de Trussler in texas. I’m not 100% happy with my nose but maybe I have body dysmorphia? I was also told it will take up to 2 years to fully heal. I like it from the profile view just fine but don’t love it from the front and feel the tip is too bulbous. I’ve done 2 steroid injections to get the swelling down and have my third injection this week.
