What went wrong with this neck lift
Neck LiftHad neck lift in January of 24. What went wrong?
Lower Blepharoplasty mistake?
Eyelid SurgeryI had lower. Blepharoplasty done 11 days ago. The incisions appear to be healing nicely. My question is why do I have these folds of skin down the corners of my eyes? I do have crows feet, but they never looked like this before. Is this normal? The surgery was done by a board certified plastic surgeon with 26 yrs experience.. He said that it will all even out in time. Should I be concerned?
3 months post-op - Need advice

Forhead Reduction
Facial FeminizationI have had a foreheadg reduction done last year, unfortunately forehead is way too small and I cannot accept it. I am wondering if there is anything that can be done? Is a revision surgery possible? Or is there anything else that would add at least 0,5 cm back. Thank you, Natalia
Needing a bit of advice I just want my skin tightened after the repair and causing pain
PanniculectomyI had c sections back to back in 22 and 23. In total I have had 3 c sections. I developed an umbilical hernia, ventral hernia, and diastasis recti (what my paperwork states) I lost weight and my OB stated that I lost elasticity in my stomach/skin hangs and causes sores and rashes. I am currently on a prescription cream. Can I be covered for a abdominoplasty since I have to have the recti fixed?

How plastic surgeons stay informed about trends and techniques
Alia Willson | Freelance Writer Wednesday, October 2, 2024If you think graduating medical school is the end of education, think again. For many plastic surgeons, continuing education is vital to the job – a part of work that many surgeons take particularly seriously. However, if a surgeon isn't in the classroom, where do they go to stay up to date on the latest innovations in the industry?
Preparing for your plastic surgery procedure
Daisy Brumby | Freelance Writer Wednesday, September 25, 2024You'll quickly realize the surgery itself is only a small part of the plastic surgery journey.

Adjunct procedures for breast reductions
Ariel Frankeny | Freelance Writer Monday, September 23, 2024From alleviating back pain by removing heavy breast tissue to just simply helping clothes fit better off the rack, it's no surprise women love breast reductions.
