Second breast lift - horrible scars

Breast Lift

Hi! had a breast lift 7 mos. ago. The scars were horrid and my nipples totally uneven. I went in for revision surgery 1 mo. ago, and also had some wound healing complications. The scars aren’t as bad as the first time but still prominent & my nipples are totally misplaced and uneven still. How long do I have to wait to get scar/nipple revision? And can it be done under local ? Thank you so much

how can tiny eyes be enlarged

Eyelid Surgery

Hello, Ive had an upper bleph done twice, for very hooded eyes. The first time left a large scar on the outside of right eye, it was done about 10 years ago, the second was performed last year and my eyes look exactly the same, no results, except the scar in now further out towards my temple. The bleph corrected some hoodedness, but my eyes are tiny-is there any way to enlarge my eyes?

Breast Reconstruction

Should a Mentor MemoryGel BOOST Breast Implant rupture within 6 months of a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction? Update: CT scan results states intracapsular rupture. What does this mean? Also implant is HARD.

Looking for the best plastic surgeon in Tampa

Breast Reduction

I am looking for a plastic surgeon in the Tampa Bay Area. I met with one. His before and after pictures look great. The only issue I have is that I would want my breasts to be smaller than in his pics. my gut feeling is that he has a tendency to be on the very safe side. Safety is great but I want to see a reduction not just a lift. Especially for 14,000 the surgery.

"It means I'm down a leg, but I get a life. Nothing has been worse because of my amputation. Everything, it's just been better... Doctors have to stop seeing amputation as a loss and start seeing it as a solution. That it can be a solution instead of fighting."
