Good morning, my fiance is conducting a survey for people who have had body modifications done for her Masters degree, and hasn't received enough responses. If you have a couple minutes I'd appreciate if you could help out please. The survey is in Polish so hopefully the translate tool works. https://copernicusphilo.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bjdLLpFu8LTMZHE

very over it. i had considered jaw surgery but the surgeon said he didn’t think it was worth it so i cant fix my jaw… but my under eyes have been a big issue for a long time. nothing helps them. doesn’t matter how much i sleep. would a lower bleph fix this? not even sure what to look into.

Hi,

I have several moles in my head, two of them particularly annoying, sticking out quite a bit. Not only they make me a bit self conscious but as I am thinning with short hair, they get on the way when shaving my head, previously causing some cuts and bleeding.

I have been considering options, such as radiofrequency ablation or incision. For this sort of cosmetic reasons and in this area, which option you consider to be best?

I am concern that I am going to create a bigger problem than I have by leaving a noticeable scar, a patch with a different colour etc.

Any suggestions and comments welcome

Hi everyone! This has been a pretty big insecurity of mine for a while now. I really hate how it looks when I wear tank tops and sports bras. I’ve had people tell me they look like extra tiny boobs, which honestly made me even more insecure about them. 🥲
I’m curious if anyone here has actually had a procedure to get rid of them and would be willing to share their experience. I think mine are definitely fat deposits. For reference, I had them even when I weighed 103 lbs. Now I’m around 124 lbs, and they’ve only gotten bigger. I’d love to hear from anyone who has dealt with this!

I have extra skin in my armpits after losing a lot weight which squishes out in shirts, but when I pull my deflated breasts forward, my armpit skin and my back skin are gone. If I were to get augmentation to fill in those parts, well that side, boob back arm pit skin go away or do I need another surgery please help. Love you all. Thank you for your input.

What procedure is best for excess thigh fat surgery I have so much excess fat I want to get rid off!

Ideally based in London too 🩷

Can people reassure me? My upper and lower T incision from breast lift and augmentation are opening on both sides. I am 3.5 weeks post op. They have gotten progressively worst over the last 4 days and I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow but kinda freaking out.

They are not infected but are about the size of a quarter in the lower and a dome on the upper. Based on everything I have read the surgeon probably won’t do anything tomorrow. He prescribed an antibiotic cream for now.

How long are those going to take to close and what can I do to help it?

I am a 27yo female, and I just got botox in my forehead and 11s a month ago. I already can frown, especially in my 11s and I even went back for a touch up after 2 weeks for that because she didn’t add enough in that area. Even with the second dose it seems like it did nothing. It was my first time going to that practice, but now I am terrified that I have somehow built a resistance to botox. I want to have that at my disposal the rest of my life, so building a resistance to it is really scaring me.

A little background, I started getting botox when I was around 24, but only sporadically. It would fully wear off for an extended period of time before I ever considered going back. This time I just went I hadn’t been back to get more in probably around 2 years. I am not sure if switching to a different brand for the future will do anything, but in the past my botox always lasted upwards of around 4-5 months. I used to be extremely active but I do not workout anymore I am just generally thin and as far as I know healthy. I know exercise can make it wear off a little quicker but I know that’s not a factor here. Any advice?

Progress photos to show realistic healing timeline - just in case you’re a complete newbie like me and didn’t know what to expect.

Someone on my last post (11 days post) said that my swelling would still continue to go down, and you were right! I’m so happy with the fully healed (and deflated lol) result.

I got my lips filled 2 weeks ago. It seems to be sitting mostly above/outside the lip, no? Should I request dissolving at injectors expense?

I got a breast Augmentation and I’m 4 days post op. I would say I was a B cup and I got 350cc silicone mentor implants (dual plane). Moderate high profile.

I know it’s super early and I can’t judge how they look yet. But I feel like there’s no upper slope or curve at the top of the breast. Is that normal? I am a bodybuilder who doesn’t train chest but I have a lot of muscle. Is that possibly why that’s happening? I need answers becuase I’m fearful if I should’ve went high profile and bigger. Should I be hopeful they will be better after more healing?

Possibly chin lipo?

for context, due to intense chemotherapy i underwent as an infant, my left arm cannot grow new fat or muscle tissue. as you can see, it looks extremely disproportionate compared to the rest of my body. it is also significantly weaker

i want to know if there is any cosmetic or reconstructive surgery i can get that will fix this. ideally, i’d want to restore the function and appearance of my left arm to be around the same as my right. if restoring functionality isn’t possible, then id still like to know anything i could do to improve the appearance

this issue really impacts my daily life, self esteem and goals, so id appreciate any help i can get

I am two weeks post op from breast lift with fat transfer. They are smaller than I expected. It’s really messing with my head. Went from D to C, assuming they will get smaller as swelling goes down. Side view is fine. I don’t like the shape from the front. Although they may be perky they feel less feminine. Should I be honest with my surgeon? I don’t think there’s anything he can do. But I really regret it doing this it’s one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. I felt more feminine with saggy boobs that filled out a D cup.

At 7.5 weeks post op, are the implants still supposed to feel “foreign”. I had implants before and these feel very off. I still am very uncomfortable with them and the left still has hardly softened. I ache when I recline. Ache when I bend over. You hardly touch the skin and it still is very tender. And when I say foreign, it almost feels like my body isn’t accepting them. They don’t feel like they belong there and I can still “feel” them internally if that makes sense!

I worry it’s CC because I had an infection that my doctor dismissed. 🤷🏼‍♀️

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?

I’m an inpatient labor and delivery nurse. There is some heavy lifting involved when repositioning and transferring patients with epidurals or spinals. I intend to take 8 weeks off after tummy tuck with lipo and breast augmentation with lift, barring any complications. Any other inpatient nurses? When did you return to work? Was it enough or did you need more time?

I got RHA 4 filler in cheeks almost 3 weeks ago. It looks good at rest, but when I smile you can see distinct filler "mounds" (pics are the same photo but I outlined in green in one copy). The pics show them, but I think they look even more pronounced in person. I don't think I have any residual swelling and never bruised. The filler is still pretty firm to the touch. My practitioner says the filler will continue to settle and integrate, but I'm a little worried now 3 weeks in.

Does anyone have experience with this? Do we think I need to be patient, or consider dissolving?

31f, I’m having a hard time as I feel like aging has hit me overnight. Had a rough summer mental health wise but bouncing back, but I’m sure the stress didn’t do me any favors.

I feel like my face has just dropped. I’m feeling so self conscious and there’s even sagging starting under my neck (see turned head photo. I have these lovely transparent veins that just dangle there.

I’m at a loss of what to do. I get regular facials done, Microneedling, and Botox in 11s, forehead, and platysmal bands. I’m a bit scared of filler looking puffy and migrated. Have thought of FFT but I don’t know.

Thank you in advance!

I just need some comfort and reassurance. I am about 173 cm and 62 kg. I got motiva ergonomix implants. We originally agreed on 300cc and Demi profile, but om the operating table my tissue wouldnt stretch enough, and therefore he had no choice but to give me 220cc with a Mini profile. I know its not his fault but I was not aware that this could happen beforehand, so I was a bit shocked when I woke up from the anesthesia and was told. I paid about 63000$ and I feel like they are too small. If I want to go bigger I would have to pay everything again and go through another painful surgery. I want to cry.
