#3 Rhinoplasty For My Cleft Lip And Palate!

Image source: Ghoulsam Hey! I'm 20 years old and was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate. Because of that, I've had to go through many major surgeries in my life - but until now, they've all been functional, not cosmetic. Recently, after a long time filled with fear and hesitation, I finally found the courage to address the aesthetic effects of my cleft. I underwent a long and complex rhinoplasty (and also a small amount of fat was added to the cleft side of my lip.) And what can I say... I couldn't be happier! Even though it's only been a month and a half since the surgery, the impact on my self-esteem has already been huge. My goal was to get a natural-looking nose that fits my face - and I really think the surgeons did an amazing job! The result keeps getting better and less swollen with each day, and for the first time ever, I feel confident enough to share my face online. I'd love to share my journey and hopefully offer a bit of representation to others who were born with facial differences.

#4 M/25/6’0” [315lbs To 180lbs] (2 Years) - Finally Got Loose Skin Removal Surgery Last Week!

Image source: flufftobuff16 Lost the weight back in 2017 and haven’t been comfortable with the loose skin since. I'm very happy with it!

#5 Double Chin Lipo

Image source: Ambitious_One9786 The difference in between photos is only 5kg, but with lipo it made me look like I lost much more because it was genetics. The most easiest procedure, I was awake and I didn't feel anything before or after. It was done in Croatia but I feel that every a little experienced surgeon can do this easily, it is not so invasive.

#9 Lower Bleph, 17 Days Post Op

Image source: International_Ad8501 This procedure is hands down the best thing I’ve EVER done for my face. Talk about bang for the buck! Took my surgeon no longer than an hr to do this for about $4500, and the difference is profound. I’d had these hereditary eye bags for all my life, but age (I’m 46) and recent weight loss made them appear very saggy. Problem solved! Most folks can’t tell I’ve had anything done, just remark about how pretty I look and ask if I’ve had a facial or done something different with my hair.

#23 Just Shy Of 3 Months Post-Op Forehead Reduction

Image source: freshavocado21 I really couldn’t be happier. I’m still numb/itchy and have quite the scars underneath but they are covered, and soon hair will grow back over them. That would really be the only negative thing I have to say. Recovery was easy and I’m so happy with the result. I saw Dr Fechner in Worcester MA. He was on the pricier side but I chose him due to close proximity.

#24 Surgery Update Photos

Image source: BellandBeau I wanted to share my journey with my surgeries as a 62-year-old. First photo is before my upper bleph in June 2023. Literally taken 10 min before surgery. I remembered at the last minute I had forgotten to get a before! Second photo is 2 weeks ago. My surgeon is Dr Jeff Porkorney in Elizabeth City NC and Kitty Hawk NC. Insurance paid for the upper bleph and the cost for the lower was 7500 + 500 for peel I can’t recommend him more. He did an amazing job and is a talented surgeon !!
