Have You Had Cosmetic Surgery?

Has anyone here had cosmetic surgery and if so what did you have done and are you happy with how it turned out?

R1 what was it like to have a tummy tuck? The procedure, the after care..

by Anonymousreply 6March 2, 2019 12:55 PM

Very easy, R6. The worst pain I had was the back pain, bc I couldn't stand up straight for 2 weeks, and your abs are useless at the beginning. I had to get out of bed by rolling off and hoping my feet hit the floor first. By the 3rd week I was back at the gym, walking on the treadmill and doing seated upper body workouts. The incision site itself was numb for the better part of a year. I had a single drain that was removed a few days post surgery. It was a very easy recovery, but I was at my ideal weight and in good shape (except that saggy skin) prior to the operation, which is key.

Nose job. 8 years ago. I’d wanted to have it done for over 30 years. One of the most positive decisions I’ve ever made. I never dreamed it would make such a difference to my self-image, and luckily my husband liked the end result too (he didn’t want me to do it).

The only downside is that my nose gets ice cold when the temperature drops. I don’t care.

I really want to get blepharoplasty because I have excessive skin in my upper eyelids but a) it's too expensive and b) I'm nervous about leaving it in the hands of a plastic surgeon. And too many men look feminized after an eyelift.

I've thought about the non-surgical eyelift which uses a plasma pen to tighten the skin.

I know getting an eye lift can be a deathly mistake for a man, but how about just getting the bags taken out from underneath? Does that at least end up looking ok?

by Anonymousreply 31March 3, 2019 2:11 AM

The issue to me is that you have to know exactly what your problem spots are and you have to hold firm. You might know your eyes and neck look bad and just want to get those, but if you get into the surgeon's office and they start saying "y'know, you might want to try some filler in your lips and cheeks and maybe a face lift would help, too..." , you need to be able to say "no! Those things don't bother me. I just want my eyes and neck done."

I think some people just start believing everything the surgeons say and they agree to get a trillion things done that they don't even need. I'm convinced of it. It's no secret that most people who get plastic surgery don't have the greatest self-esteem and the surgeons know that. You can't let them persuade you into all that other crap.

R31, I think doing the under-eye bags sounds less risky than doing the eyelids (above the eyes). Like, R32 said, you have to be firm with your doctor. I know someone who only wanted under-eye bags removed. Doctor talked them into forehead lift and eyelids surgery as well.

You also have to remember that this is surgery, elective surgery. If you are prone to infections and long healing times, then don't ignore that. If a doctor says you should be up and running in X amount of time (after surgery), take into consideration what you know about yourself.

YES and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I had a face and neck lift last year when I turned fifty. I also had my eyes done, upper and lower, and fat injected into my temples and cheeks. I've been a runner and a gym rat my whole life and stay pretty lean so my face was getting gaunt.

Most plastic surgeons don't know how to do men so they end up feminizing the face. I could have bought a new Mercedes for what I paid my surgeon but he was an expert and I couldn't be happier.

Oddly enough, most don't even recognize it; they just say, "Wow, you look great." I'm an attorney and find that a lot of my colleagues are doing the same, both women and men.

r20, it's not as dramatic as surgery. On the other hand, no scars. And, I wasn't looking for a dramatic difference. Over the course of several months, there's a gradual, noticeable lifting/tightening effect, and your skin actually goes back to a more youthful version of itself.

I had my ears "pulled back" 40+ years ago when I was 13. At the time, here in Ontario OHIP covered it as long as it was done before you were 16-after which they classified it as "cosmetic", so it didn't cost my parents a dime. Anywho, I've never regretted it as it sort of runs in the family and one of my cousins who DIDN'T have it done, looks like a cuter version of Prince Charles (but the ears look big enough that he'd be swept out of the room if a strong enough wind happened).

I had a hair transplant twelve years ago. Did a lot of research, found the best doctor in Miami, and took my time to make the decision. I think it's good to find the best surgeon in a major metropolitan area, and to be willing to travel and spend a significant amount of money to make sure it is done right. I think I spent about $8000 at the time. The day of the surgery and for a few days after, I had buyer's remorse, mostly just because it was so uncomfortable. It took months for the hair to grow back in its new locations. But once it came in, I was very happy with the results.

Now I'm thinking about having the skin above my eyes tightened up. I am afraid of looking feminized; I think many surgeons take out too much skin. I also don't like the way people's faces look dead after they have surgery or botox. I think I would rather look wrinkled and alive.

You had an upper lift R115?

by Anonymousreply 118March 18, 2019 6:31 PM

Yes, but it has "deflated" a bit. My friends kid that it's from too much sucking cock.

I thought an upper lift was just exposing more of the lip.

Transplant, Hasson & Wong, 2000 grafts at the hairline, 10 years ago now, beautiful work I am grateful for to this day. It may be approaching time to go in for a “touch up”, but I will probably look at a less expensive team if I do.

That said it is alleged that there are at least two promising hairloss solutions around the pike, but then again, they were saying that 10 years ago.

I can’t believe some of you in your 50s or younger had complete facelifts.

You’re going to have to be tightened a lot at 70.

1) It's a bad link R123 and 2) If are going to be looking at reviews, which many are suspect, check out the negative reviews. Plastic surgery is a crap-shoot, but at least with the negative reviews you know why someone is dissatisfied and it is more than "I don't look 10 years younger."

Cosmetic surgery? Well, I took apart a lipstick when I was 3.

I had a close friend that had a full face lift and neck too I think. He stayed with me for 4 days while recoup after surgery.....it was fairly intense to take care of him. After the healing and swelling went down after about a month he looked really good. However he is an alcoholic and I dont know how much that impacted the results but after a year he looked like he did prior (to me)..........for a while tho it helped his self esteem quite a bit........... but long term he said he was very dissapointed with the results. It was over $10000 in cost, but for him that was not much.

My sister lost 100 lbs, had lipo on stomach, and some sort of nerve damage took place and within 3 days of surgery realized she had had no feeling in her clit region. They tried to tell her it was menopause! (She was late ‘40s). But she told them she’d had an orgasm the day before surgery.

It’s been 10 years since she has had an orgasm.

Lipo looks brutal. I don't know if it is true or not, but some people here have said you can tell if a person has had lipo.

I got Botox on my forehead for headaches years ago and it worked great. What worked better was being moved to another office where I had little to no contact with my co-workers.

But as I was sitting in the reception area waiting my turn I was listening to the receptionists and I could tell which ones had done lip injections. They had a weird slowness of their speech, almost like they had Down Syndrome or something. I would like to get a lift someday, but never lip injections.

Botox made me look worse. Droopy eyelids from the forehead injections.

Curious what the least obvious surgery is. I never seem to notice chin surgeries. I agree eyes and forehead lifts look ridiculous on most men,

Is a mini lift, built more lift or mid facelift best for jowls? Sadly I don't have a strong jawline.

No, R106, I was 39 when I had surgery on my upper eyes. No one would've said I "needed" the surgery, but I wanted to be proactive. I was - and 22 years later, still - very happy with the results.

Does anyone know how long non ablative fractional laser redness is supposed to last? I had it down in early February and the redness still hasn’t gone, my derm told me to use a decent humectant and sunblock but I’m worried it’s permanent. Is their anything else I can do to speed the healing process up?

R105 I think that there are state or city Dept of Health records boards. any complaints or judgments that a doctor might have received. Or state medical boards.

Don't get a nose job. They fill your nose with cotton and some doctors make you leave it in for a week. I had a childhood injury fixed and I only had minor surgery to fix that. I had to have the cotton in for just a day but still I was counting down the hours until my afternoon appointment to get that stuff taken out. I can't imagine having it in for a week and for just cosmetic purposes.

If you had just a slightly sagging neck just under your chin would a chin implant help pull it tight?

Madonna tried that and it doesn’t look good, go for a neck lift or lower face lift.

Rhinoplasty at a very young age, and I couldn't have been any happier with the results.

Am considering lasik surgery but am not thrilled about needing artificial tears for the rest of my life.

Who told you you would need artificial tears for life R145? I had laser surgery done in 1998 and don't use artificial tears.

by Anonymousreply 146March 29, 2019 5:56 PM

R146 the opthamoligist I've been seeing for a few years said that prescription wise I'm an ideal candidate the downside being the artificial tears bc of chronic dry eye.

My guess would be that maybe you didnt have dry eye as a problem going into it?

I'm considering the temporary contacts that correct your vision at night; CRTs would probably be the best option.

don't get Lasik. It went wrong for a few people and they killed themselves coz the pain was so unbearable. Google it.

Has anybody tried coolsculpting? I’m starting to sprout a waddle.

by Anonymousreply 153April 5, 2019 2:50 AM

I had Juvederm filler for my nasolabial lines (laugh lines running from nose to mouth) and marionette lines (either side of chin). and a few lines around the lips. It looked nice, until it absorbed, but not the kind of thing where anyone notices. It cost me $1,000 and didn't wow me enough to have it done again. I look remarkably good for my age due to genetics. Mother lived until 95 and was relatively healthy. I am not overweight and look way better than most people in my senior exercise class. The sad thing is - fillers and surgery do not make a homely man or woman good looking. They still remain just plain people with taut skin.

I recently read that the jury is still out on what fillers will do after 25, 20 years. It may leave a lot of lax skin behind, since elderly skin loses its elasticity as time goes on.

If I had a huge nose or facial deformity I would not hesitate to do something, but not the minor stuff.
