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?

Belly button wont stay together
Tummy TuckI had a tt 4 weeks ago with lipo to sides. Due to the amt of fat allowed to take out, I was going to have lipo to front done next. This has turned I to a disaster. I have a wound vac on my tt incision. Dra have pulled my stalk up and tried to reattach bb 4 times. Including with staples. The surgeon wants to do this again. Is there a better way to reattach to the stalk and close it up?

Are women happy with removal if they are very flat chested or wish they got implants replaced?
Breast Implant RemovalI’ve had a deflation of a 325cc saline implant that was 12 years old and am torn between removing them vs replacing. I’m a runner and very active . I’m 42 and scared that if I remove them I’ll be very unhappy with how much they sag or scared they will just look horrible. I am 5’8” and 115lbs. Not sure I want to keep having surgery every 10 yrs either. What do most women end up doing?

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
toenail matrix and nail bed repair
General Reconstruction'
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?
