Lower Blepharoplasty mistake?

Eyelid Surgery

I 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?

Forhead Reduction

Facial Feminization

I 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

Panniculectomy

I 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?

Alia Willson | Freelance Writer Wednesday, October 2, 2024

For many plastic surgeons, continuing education is vital to the job – a part of work that many surgeons take particularly seriously.
