I have Breast implants over the muscle, now I want my implants removed and a reduction / lift. How complicated is this procedure?
I have a scar on the border line of my lips after a surgery to reduce my lips 18 years ago. It was done when I was around 12 and I have camouflaged it with make up, but can’t anymore. I have tried lasers, steroids injections , creams, oils and nothing will completely flatten the scar. It has been white since I remember and when I smile it stretches making it more visible. Any recomendations?

Has anyone had a migraine lift/brow lift/face lift? What doctor would you recommend? I have horrible migraines but the pain goes away when I lift the skin up on both sides of my forehead. Also, did your insurance pay for it?
I had a lower body lift. I went from being an athlete to not being able to lift weights, run, etc 4 years later I'm still left uneven w/skin in my thigh I didn't have before. I no longer wear clothing comfortably. I have chronic pain near my piriformis muscle (sitting under where a scar is) & I look pregnant not flat now. I have seen 36 varying doctors. No one knows how to help .

I recently had ganeo surgery. My concern is that my right side looks bigger than my left. It's only been 7 days since my surgery. Is it asymmetric swelling? I am completely shocked by this
"When I think of culture, and I think of millennials, some of the characteristics that pop out... they're confident, they're optimistic, they're tolerant. Some of the key features are delayed family planning. People are getting married later and having kids later. People are congregating in bigger cities, more focus on education. I think a lot of these unique elements to this generation, coupled with the exposure to the internet and the various facets of social media, will create this whole new generation of plastic surgery patients."
"People are so busy today. I find that a lot of our patients just... want several things, and it's just efficient for time management. It's actually cheaper to do combination procedures. I always say it's kind of one long nonstop flight instead of two direct flights, so financially, it makes more sense."
"I think that it really it boils down to the length of training, the expertise that people are board-certified plastic surgeons have and the process to become board-certified because that's really all about patient safety. So, one way patients can do that is by seeing someone who is an ASPS Member Surgeon, because then they know that that person's going to have been board certified in plastic surgery."

Inadequate sleep can impact not only your appearance but also your physical and mental health. So it only makes sense that quality sleep would be a major component of your plastic surgery recovery. However, sleep isn't always easy after a surgical procedure.
