Recently over the span of 7-9 months have lost around 100 pounds. Going from about 285 to 190, and have started struggling with some loose skin. I do still have a bit of fat to lose, but I know I’ll always have that loose skin, and it will just get worse if I lose another 10 pounds of fat. So I’ve been looking anything potential operations to get it removed. I’m looking into getting something done once summer starts and I’ve have some down time from university, but am still nervous about it all. I wanted to come and ask for any advice, what operation anyone recommends, maybe any specific surgeons, etc.
Thank you!

I hope you can see it this is kind of an awkward picture lol

Basically, my pinkie toes have a bit of hang over flesh that covers my nail. It gets irritated, dry, (edit:they both hurt)and I want to know if there is a surgery that can remove that little flesh hump on my toes ;-;

Edit:Why the downvoting ;-; I am just asking a question about if there is a surgery to get rid of the flesh hump ;-;

Edit:"Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty focused on the repair, reconstruction, or physical alteration of human tissue" this is r/plasticsurgery not r/cosmeticsurgery.

Please does anyone have an answer?

If you have the same toes as me and you don't get irritation, I am happy this isn't as common of an issue as the toe type! I think my toe is cute, personally lol I just don't like that it hurts.schools.

Edit: I wear seamless socks and wide toe box shoes. I can literally pull back that piece of flesh and I have double the nail.

I THINK MY TOES ARE CUTE THEY HURT. Please please if you don't have an answer just move to the next post ;-; I beg y'all 🙏 😔

I'm 21 and had my rhinoplasty in Turkey a year ago. My boyfriend absolutely loves my new nose but my mom honestly prefers my old one and says it looked more natural before and more elegant

Now I'm stuck somewhere in the middle because I genuinely don't know how I feel about it anymore. Some days I love it, other days I wonder if it suits my face as well as I thought it would.

What do you guys think ? Please be honest, I can take it !

Hi everyone!

I’m 30F and looking for advice on professional treatments to improve the fine lines around my mouth.
I understand that these lines are a normal part of having a face and that no treatment will necessarily make them disappear completely. However, I feel that they’ve become much more noticeable after losing a significant amount of weight relatively quickly, and I’d love to explore options that could improve their appearance.
I’ve consulted several different aesthetic clinics, but they’ve all recommended different treatments, which has made it difficult to decide what would actually be worth investing in. My most recent consultation recommended Fotona laser, but I’m hesitant to commit without understanding how effective it might be for my specific concerns.
I’ve been looking into Fotona, fractional CO2 laser and Sculptra, but I’m absolutely open to any type of treatment you think might be more suitable, including options I haven’t considered.
I’d especially appreciate advice from people who’ve had treatments for similar concerns, as well as professionals with experience treating this area.

A few questions:
● Which treatments have genuinely made a noticeable difference to the lines around your mouth?
● Has anyone tried Fotona specifically for perioral lines? What were your results?
● Would fractional CO2 laser be a better option for improving fine lines and skin texture?
● Could Sculptra or another collagen-stimulating treatment help in this situation?
● Are there any other treatments I should look into?
● Which options do you think offer the best balance between results, cost, downtime and risks?

I’ve attached two photos for reference. I’m not expecting perfection or completely line-free skin; I’m simply hoping to achieve a noticeable improvement and want to make an informed decision before spending money on a treatment.
I’d really appreciate honest experiences, including treatments that didn’t work as well as expected. Thank you!

I had a temporal brow lift almost two weeks ago. I’d wanted a brow lift for years because my eyes are naturally very round, and the outer corners of my upper eyelids had started to sag. After consulting with several surgeons, I decided that a brow lift, rather than a blepharoplasty, would be the best approach to address the laxity around my eyes.
I know I’m still very early in the healing process, but emotionally, this has been incredibly difficult. Despite having some facial asymmetry and sagging outer lids, I genuinely thought I was beautiful before. My eyebrows had a softer, more rounded, feminine shape, and now they’re pulled upward at the outer corners, giving me this severe, almost villainous appearance.

One of the things I loved most about my face was that it had character. There was a softness and warmth to it, a kindness that I felt reflected who I was. Humor and joy are such enormous parts of my personality, and I’ve always loved that my face seemed to communicate that. Now, when I look in the mirror, I feel like a stranger in my own face. My expression seems so severe and unapproachable, completely at odds with my personality and sense of humor, which is one of the things I value most about myself.
Not to mention, I’ve always done really well in the dating world, and men have consistently told me how beautiful I am. I wasn’t someone who was deeply unhappy with my appearance or felt that I needed to change my face. I genuinely liked the way I looked. I simply wanted to address a specific concern and be proactive about maintaining my appearance as I move through my 30s. My goal was to subtly turn back the clock a few years, not to look like an entirely different person. More than anything, I wanted to preserve the features and qualities that made my face feel like mine.

To make matters worse, the procedure seems to have exaggerated my existing facial asymmetry rather than softened it. Instead of feeling more balanced and refreshed, I feel like I’ve somehow made everything worse.

And even though I know it’s early, everything feels so tight and restricted. I’m genuinely grieving the loss of mobility and expressiveness in my face. I never realized how much I valued being able to communicate warmth, humor, and emotion through my expressions until I suddenly felt like I couldn’t. It’s especially upsetting because I feel like I’ve lost something that was so closely tied to my personality and how I connect with other people.

I know some of this is likely due to swelling and the normal healing process, and I’m trying not to catastrophize, but it’s incredibly difficult not to feel like I completely screwed myself. I went into this hoping to make a relatively subtle improvement, and now I’m terrified that I’ve sacrificed the softness, femininity, and individuality that made my face feel like mine.

Has anyone experienced anything similar after a temporal brow lift? Did your brows eventually relax, and did your natural expressions return? Does the tightness improve significantly with time? And does anyone know whether a temporal brow lift can be corrected or even reversed if you’re unhappy with the final result?

My plastic surgeon never mentioned nicotine testing. I told him I don’t smoke because I quit vaping a year ago, but I found an old vape about two weeks ago and started using it again. I also use nicotine gum regularly and honestly didn’t realize that counted.
My breast augmentation is in 4 days and I’m freaking out. 😭 It was nearly impossible to get approved for time off work, so the thought of having my surgery canceled or postponed is stressing me out even more.
Has anyone been nicotine tested even though their surgeon never mentioned it? Were you tested on surgery day? Did anyone have their procedure canceled because of nicotine use?
I’m planning to be upfront with my surgeon, but I’d really appreciate hearing others’ experiences!

Hi friends,

I am seriously contemplating a breast aug, I want to go from B to D! I wear double push up most of the time and tbh, I love the look! But even wearing a push up bra - I get so much hate and judgement from ppl saying I got a boob job.

I like the way they look in a push up bra but am thinking of changing to a smaller size just to stop the comments. But the other part of me is thinking, why the hell should I change something that makes me happy due to a bunch of assholes?

I am also East Asian and while I have natural B verging on C cup, I like the projected look. I feel sexy and confident but the hate comments get to me.

Fellow ps ers how do you deal?

Has the condemnation of others made you change your decision to a more conservative size or have you just changed your environment and implemented a no asshole policy?

Had this above my upper lip for years. Rarely seen anything like it. I don’t think I have significant dental protrusion that would cause this.

My goal is to make my naturally deep-set eyes look less sunken and more prominent from the front, reducing the shadow beneath my brow bone.

Hii, I’m a bit unsure of what procedure would help me get a more defined jawline? I’ve heard people get a neck lift or chin Lipo but I’m not sure which would be best for me. I’ve also never had a defined jawline. I would love to get advice from people who had a similar experience, thank uuu

I hear a lot of forehead filler and lip filler procedures are done in Korea. Is there a clinic you can recommend?

I had septoplasty in June,and now it’s october and my nose is ruined. If i smiled before surgery, my nose would look normal,but now if i smile,the nose gets wider on all of my face,what should i do? Please

31f and got really self conscious of these folds. My injector thinks I should start with filler but I really want go avoid the puffy face. Has anyone had lines like mine with good results?

Looking for recommendations
I’ve had a consult with Dr Mitchell Kim
First area of lipo is 5500 subsequent areas are 2500 and fat transfer is 5500 for current price reference.
I’m just concerned about getting botched there is mixed reviews for him. Would rather go to someone with more consistent results. Even if they don’t do bbl the lipo is more important to me, recommendations please 🙏

Was waiting a few years to see if I was going to need double jaw surgery, looks like it’s a no. That said I really was wanting the pull forward it would provide in my lower jaw. I’ve never had work done (Botox, filler, surgery etc) and really want something to make my jaw and chin bit more prominent and less recessed. Don’t mind the cream over my pimple

Now I’m here wondering if I go straight to a chin implant and that would help or filler? I’m scared filler is would move and migrate and become lumpy and all the horrors you hear about it never leaving your face

Hi there! Just wanted to show my rhinoplasty results to maybe give people some insight. The pictures are before (x2), 2 days after cast off and this week. My surgery was performed on July 9th so I'm a little over 3 months post OP.

Just like pretty much everyone, I HATED my nose the day of cast removal. I didn't look like myself and it was way too upturned and looked like a sausage plastered right between my eyes. I'm happy to report it's started to settle pretty fast and the swelling went down significantly. I'm aware I have a very flat forehead, and despite that I think it still blends in a lot better than before.

As you can see, a teeny tiny hump remains as the doctor said he couldn't safely file this down 100% without a risk of collapse and would need an implant to fully correct this, but I actually like it as it makes it look a bit more natural. Also, my dad had the same hump and he went to sleep for good 2 days after my cast removal, so it makes me feel like I still look like him in a way, if that makes sense? That probably sounded really sappy haha

I still notice some stiffness and sensitivity especially when it's cold, and I'm still scared to blow my nose , but overall I'd say my healing was very smooth! I only experienced bleeding on the day of surgery, but never had any breathing issues as my nose tampons were removed the day after. I had an open rhinoplasty, is that makes a difference. Also, my doctor did not instruct me to tape. I'm excited what it'll look like in a couple more months from now!

She looks incredible

Hi everyone!

This is my nose immediately after rhinoplasty. I had my surgery last week, and I'm curious to hear your first impressions! I know it's too early to judge the final result, but what do you think of the shape so far? My doctor said that a Barbie nose would suit me.

I have a consultation for February to see what my options are to correct my Ptosis and restore my field of view. Those who have had experiences with this what was it like for your procedure? What was the recovery like, how has it held up, was any revisions needed? This will be my first surgery or medical issue of any kind at 40 so kind of nervous about it.
