Welcome to /r/PlasticSurgery!
This subreddit is a general hub for discussion, before and after posts, stories, experiences, and general information about cosmetic/plastic surgeries of all sorts.
A core principle of this subreddit is that feedback should be objective. Please read all sub rules and their full descriptions prior to posting or commenting here.
Please familiarize yourself with our community's rules and post guidelines before contributing. This is a safe place for discussion, and can at times deal with insecurities and personal information. We ask that you be respectful and sensitive to the needs and wishes of others.
Disclaimer: This site is not meant to replace the advice of any physician. Do not rely upon any information that you read here at /r/PlasticSurgery (or that you obtain through posts, email or links) to replace consultations or advice received by qualified health professionals regarding your own specific situation. The information provided here at /r/PlasticSurgery is intended as aesthetic discussion only and it should NEVER be construed as medical advice.
Rules:
Rule 1: No spamming
Do not spam the sub - memes, poll, surveys, "what do you think Bella Hadid had done" type speculation of other people's procedures, or double posting/posting more than once in quick succession are not allowed, and will be removed.
Rule 2: Use NSFW tag when applicable
Don't make us open up a picture of your backside in front of our co-workers please, thanks. Minors are not to post NSFW content here.
Rule 3: No advertising, no begging
Don't ask anyone to fund your elective surgeries. Also, if you are spamming the sub simply to drum up business for yourself, your posts will be removed. However, if you are actually creating/adding to a discussion on the topic, you are permitted to do so. We allow surgeon's offices to post once per week.
Rule 4: Incels/incel terminology not permitted (includes mewing)
If you're an incel and we find out about it, you will be perma banned. This includes their terminology - like mewing. Mewing originated in incel forums, and we do not permit it here as it is pseudoscience and ineffective.
Rule 5: No ratings, no dating, no being a perv
We're not a ratings/dating sub. Posts asking us to rate you, ratings other members, or posting just a selfie for attention will be removed, as will posts asking for advice on how to get dates. Also, no thirsty comments/telling OP you want to hook up with them/would date them, and don't ask people for nudes.
Rule 6: Don't ask us to choose your surgeries
What this means is this: don't post a selfie asking "lol what surgeries should I get." No one is going to choose your expensive, painful surgical procedures for you, nor should you even want them to. You should know what feature(s) you want to change, or have a question about a specific procedure. Vague posts asking us to pick for you will be removed. Come here having at least some idea of what you want.
Rule 7: Refrain from feel-good comments that add nothing of value
While it might seem kind to bombard the OP with "gurl you're so beautiful don't change a thing!!" comments, please don't do this. We are a sub for discussion of surgical procedures, and warm and fuzzy compliments are a distraction from the discussion to be had.
Rule 8: If you are morally opposed to plastic surgery, then do not post or comment here
Do not come into the sub and rail against the evils of plastic surgeons, or the morality of "fooling" people with a rhinoplasty, or whatever. If you do something along these lines, we will assume you are lost on Reddit and will guide you to the exit.
Rule 9: Bad advice may be removed
If you offer really bad advice, your comment will possibly be removed. While you're allowed to disagree with people, outright bad advice might be taken down. If this happens to your comment, accept it and follow rule number ten.
Rule 10: Take your warning/ban/comment removal like an adult
If your post or comment is removed, if you receive a temporary ban, or if you are given a warning, you can use the moderator mail to contact the mods with your concerns. Privately messaging a mod to get around a ban/muting, or to scream and throw a tantrum, will result in a permanent ban to the sub.

If i go it will be alone, Has anyone ever gone alone and how was you experience
Last year I got jaw botox at 17 but was over injected. I got 80 units the first time, and 2 months later another 40. I noticed smile lines, jowls, and poor skin texture appear and also all the fat in my face falling down. I went from having a square jaw my whole life to my face being sunken in. I'm 18 and my skin shouldn't look like this. My jaw muscles have come back but the skin is still the same. Are there any treatments or skincare I can do?
Hi everyone. Just wondering for anyone who had to use a nostril retainer after rhinoplasty, did it make your tip look wide/large while it was in?? Also did it make your nostrils huge after taking it out? Mine is doing this and I'm worried the size it too large even though the surgeon chose it.

I had a rhinoseptoplasty 10 days ago and today i touched my nose with my fist in a "medium-strong" power-way (not on purpose) and it hurt like hell. Still hurting one hour afterwards and maybe i fckd up my nose internally! any experiences with involuntary hits to the nose the first weeks after surgery? Thank you!!
hi does anyone know any good rhinoplasty plastic surgeons in canada like ive done so much research and all ones people recommend here like rival and asaria who charges an enormous amount for some reason despite bad reviews and few others have terrible reviews and they all end up needing revisions i get that all surgeons will have some bad reviews but its like kind of ridiculous how many i see on realself, on like all the surgeons in toronto for example, anyone can recommend some or share their experience?
This may sound like a crazy thought, but with my first augmentation I had my nipples reduced and they're pretty small with rather large keloid scars round them (I'm a POC so pretty common) but what about when I get them redone? Will I have enough nipple to have another surgery? Surely when they cut them (anchor because I'll need another uplift with implants) then the amount of nipple within the keloid scars is not enough? I'm actually freaking out about it 🤣
Hi guys so i have been trying to get a nose job since i was 16, the doctor i went to for consult is in newport beach CA. he quoted me 27k. I am shocked at this price, i cannot afford that!
Does anyone know of any good doctors in the LA or OC area that aren’t over 20k???
I had a full syringe injected in my lips last Saturday.
Am I good to go to book a neck/shoulder/back massage (will be laying face down with my head in a "donut hole") two weeks after lip fillers? It would be exactly 2 weeks to the day.
I’m looking to get rhino/septoplasty and valve repair to correct my breathing, along with some minor cosmetic issues that I’m a bit insecure about. I’ve had consultations with several surgeons in the past and already met with Dr. Corrado once before - it seems like most people have had a positive experience with him. He seems to be incredibly talented and I appreciate his approach / bedside manner, but I wanted my result to be less sloped than he suggested. Wondering if anyone has worked with him and asked for something other than what was initially recommended / rendered during your consult, and did it turn out the way you hoped?
Any feedback (or recommendations for other doctors in NJ) would be appreciated!
My lip has gotten kind of heavy after years of filler, and I’m considering dissolving it and then refilling it to get it to sit a little higher and get more tooth show. But I’ve read some horror stories about filler dissolving, creating all kinds of issues, so then I’m wondering if I should just get a lip lift and skip the intermediate step. My thought had been to do the filler dissolving first so that, if that worked, I’d be a little bit better than going straight to a lip lift. But I don’t wanna mess up my face forever. Has anyone gone through this process?
I’ve lost 130 pounds in the last 2 years and am looking to get the skin removed. Ideally, I will have it covered by insurance and get a panniculectomy. I am 33F and never been pregnant. Has anyone here had this procedure done and then been pregnant? Do you need a revision afterwards? I don’t know if I ever will have children but want to know, in case I do, what I could or should expect. Thanks!
Please does anyone have a link?
Any recommendations for overnight nurse for after surgery pls, San Diego
Help. I brought up to my boyfriend that I want my breast to be smaller. I had 3 kids & breast fed them so they hang to the sides. I’ve been very insecure about my breasts after my last pregnancy. My baby is 5 months now & I brought up that I would ask my personal trainer if there are any exercises to help reduce the size & maybe lift them otherwise I’d go into surgery for that. (I’m a 36B). He said “yeah you can ask her I’m sure she’ll tell you to do chest presses, push ups etc. but a lot of women choose to get implants after”. He said that because he knew a lot of girls at the gym wanted the same thing and did a lot of back exercises but were later on unhappy with the results & got implants. I have been upset about this & made my feelings very clear. I told him I don’t appreciate him mentioning what other woman are doing & I don’t care what every one else is doing. I open up to him about my insecurities but he shut me down by bringing up what he read online or saw at the gym. I have not been talking to him & feel even more insecure. What do y’all recommend I do? 😟
Permanent tear through swelling since 2 years, when a "friend" plastic surgeon injected my tear throughs with some very high density s**t. I have this same swelling since 5 minutes after the injection.
Now: I went through 5 rounds of Hyaluronidase, 3 of them even with facial ultrasound guidance. I've been seen by an expert that teaches facial ultrasound all over the world and he told me that he cannot see any hyaluronic acid deposits anymore, so the swelling could be due to "fibrotic tissue, or a scar" and that I should "come to peace with that" because nothing else can be done.
Anybody can tell me if there's still something that I can try to fix that, either than living all my life with a lump under my eye?
I had genoplasty and chin contouring 2 days ago in turkey (i’m still there) and I can’t breath during sleep I keep choking on mukes and so much slime. I asked the doc and he said its cause the tubes has swollen your troath and that’s why you can’t breath “just relax” .. Won’t I die after 4 days of no sleep? I’m really really scared, i’ll never go to turkey again.
