I don’t know what else to do
Breast AugmentationI recently lost 40lb after working my ass off for it. I thought I would be happy with myself after I reached my goals, however I am more miserable now than I have ever been. I’m at 19.4% body fat, 119 pounds and 5’6. Is fat transfer an option? Or will I have to get implants? Any other options? Birth control? Eat estrogen rich foods? Massage?I want +1.5 to fill in and make me not look like a dude
What is this thing in my armpit? :O
General ReconstructionApril: large axillary mass appears on right. After 2 failed derm visits-went to my PC. Exam, mammo, MRI-, no COVID vax prob. It's causing tingling in my hand. I am no stranger to plast surg & know this is a dangerous area for surgery. How do I find someone truly qualified & willing to take on something like this? TY
Can body shape beat out BMI?
PanniculectomyI'm 5'5", 375 lbs. Lost over 100 lbs 5 years ago, approved for a medically necessary panniculectomy & maintained my weight at 350 lbs for that time. High A1C disqualified me, A1C is now under control. 'Apron' is so large, I can't step onto a curb without help. New physical limitations, starting to gain weight. Have been working with a dietitian. Just want to not hurt & improve life. HELP?!

What type of permanent procedure?
Chemical Peels, IPL, Fractional CO2 Laser TreatmentsI am not a fan of injectables, have been using retinol for a little bit, but it seems to make it worse. I would like to get rid of the crow’s feet, that appear when I smile, and also the wrinkling underneath my eyes. I really don’t have an issue with any other part of my face, but it’s my eyes.
