Breast Liftsurgery on both of my breasts. Removed my “old” implants that were 650cc. The left side had drooped down a bit, so doc had said galaflex on the left side with new implant 560cc. Also, right breast with new implant of 560cc with NO galaflex. there is quite a bit of difference between my left and right breast now. Talking my surgeon I want to schedule a galaflex for rt breast. What do you think??
Issues regarding breast augmentation and defect
Breast Implant RevisionMy one breast prior to surgery was deformed. It was hard to notice since since they were so small. The surgeon did not recognize this until after the surgery. Now this breast sits lower & off to the side. I know this was an elective surgery but now I need to have a revision. Would my insurance cover this to have it fixed? It’s painful at times due to the pulling on the muscle. Surgery was 4/21
Brow drop after dysport
Brow LiftDear Sir/Madam, I’m 23 years old and I had an eyebrow lift procedure 1,5 months ago. I had 62.5 units injected into my glabella area and the sides of the eyebrows.

Explant of under muscle implants under local
Breast Implant RemovalI want to remove my implants. After having kids, my breast have become bigger than I’d like. I have never had problems with the implants (saline) no pain or discomfort. They are under the muscle so they are not sticking out and I don’t feel them moving or anything. I would like to just remove them without any lift/reconstruction and would like to be only under local anesthesia. costs? time?

Bilateral mastectomy after complication using filler injection.
Breast Implant RemovalHello, I am a 61 yo and I had done breast augmentation in Eastern Europe around 8 years ago using filler injections. Now I have complications (lumps, pain, etc). I was offered 2 different strategies- filler removal or mastectomy with breast reconstruction. I cannot decide which one is better for me. I am also post-hysterectomy (uterine sarcoma).
Am I Jumping the Gun?
Tummy TuckMy surgery is in a few weeks. I've seen my surgeon and I will have no liposuction, but I believe I still have about 30-40 lbs to lose. Should I wait? I'm so excited, but I wonder if I'm jumping the gun.
Scared
Breast ReconstructionJust diagnosed and if fortunately is a word in this... it's Stage II and has not metastasized.
