Silicone implants at 18 ?
Breast AugmentationI turned 18 4 months ago and my boobs are really small. Theyve stopped growing completely and i know they wont grow anymore. I was so excited to get my boobs done until i recently found out you have to be 22 to get silicone implants ? Is that ture and is there surgeons who will do silicone for 18 year olds. Id much rather have silicone than saline.
Stress after Rhinoplasty
RhinoplastyHello, I just had my rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. However, during the first and second week I am in a lot of emotional stress. I do not cry though (just little tears but not ugly cry) I just wanna know if this emotional stress because of my personal life could have an impact with my rhinoplasty results? (like alter the results made by my surgeon?) Answers are appreciated as I'm overthinking this a lot
Anal problem?
Cosmetic SurgeryApproximately 3 years ago, I had some haemorrhoids & anal skin tags removed, but since then I have had occasional external bleeding after a bowel movement (wiping) and during anal sex. Then 6 months ago, I had more surgery for haemorrhoid removal, but again, no changes. Recent colonoscopy revealed no issue. Is there a form of cosmetic surgery that can help? Reconstructive surgery? Devastated atm.

Full body lift
Body LiftWhen I have read about full body lifts, they are separated into upper and lower body. Can both upper and lower body be done at the same time? What things would a person want to consider for that type of extensive surgery?

Belly still looks like this 9 years postpartum
Tummy TuckI gave birth 9 years ago and I don’t plan on having any more children. I exercised everyday but still my stomach looks like this. Should I just get a tummy tuck? Also my belly button really makes me insecure.
Now a Natural Woman!!
Breast Implant RemovalI have had breast implants for over 40 years, subpectoral and mostly silicone. At age 71, I decided to have them removed and proceeded to do research on the subject. The fotos are 6 weeks postop. I was an A cup initially. I am a C cup now. I decided to leave the capsules alone. I had them removed under local anesthesia for $720, I have Dr. Curtis Wong in Redding, Calif to thank for this!!

Why a Breast Reduction Includes a Lift

The Miseducation of Plastic Surgery
Wednesday, April 14, 2021Watch Drs. Karen Horton and Jamie Moenster debunk the myths. Plastic surgery isn't always scarless (but we know where to hide and treat them). It isn't vain (taking care of yourself never is). It isn't fake (you'll look like yourself, just refreshed).

Take a load off your back with a breast reduction
Sara R. Dickie, MD | Skokie, IL Monday, January 10, 2022Breast reduction surgery is rated amongst the highest out of all plastic surgery procedures when it comes to patient satisfaction. Not only can it reduce or eliminate upper back, shoulder and neck pain from heavy breasts, a reduction can also help enhance self-esteem, get you back to exercise and improve the fit and shape of off-the-rack clothing and bras.
What should you ask a plastic surgeon before having a neck lift?
Eric Chang, MD | Columbia, MD Tuesday, December 21, 2021A neck lift can dramatically improve the appearance of the neck, tightening the skin, removing fat and repairing the muscles.
