Does my revision chin implant look normal?

Chin Surgery

I had a chin implant 7 weeks ago but it shifted, causing discomfort. The removal process was painful, and after getting a new implant, my chin looked larger. The surgeon explained that my jawbone's prominence caused the issue. I'm worried the implant has made my chin appear longer. I'm considering removal but concerned about potential effects. Can you provide your opinion based on the photos?

Is there help for Lipedema

Thigh Lift

am in CO and I have pretty severe Lipedema in my legs to the point I am having trouble walking. I am a SPED Paraeducator and I have 4 kids so I am on my feet a lot. I desperately need help. Is there any doctor willing to help me, I am truly scared about losing the use of my legs?

Forhead Reduction

Facial Feminization

I have had a foreheadg reduction done last year, unfortunately forehead is way too small and I cannot accept it. I am wondering if there is anything that can be done? Is a revision surgery possible? Or is there anything else that would add at least 0,5 cm back. Thank you, Natalia

Needing a bit of advice I just want my skin tightened after the repair and causing pain

Panniculectomy

I had c sections back to back in 22 and 23. In total I have had 3 c sections. I developed an umbilical hernia, ventral hernia, and diastasis recti (what my paperwork states) I lost weight and my OB stated that I lost elasticity in my stomach/skin hangs and causes sores and rashes. I am currently on a prescription cream. Can I be covered for a abdominoplasty since I have to have the recti fixed?

"I know what it feels like to be 'other' for something completely out of your control. I have a lot of empathy for what people are going through, and my experience set the foundation for being kind because people are just so mean and there's plenty of opportunity to be nice."

"I said, 'This is it. Cut that breast off. Get it off. Get rid of it.' At that point, I took a whole different perspective and had a 'bye-bye breast' party. I invited my friends over, and we saluted that breast for being there for as long as it had."

"They ended up going in six times, and they just slowly cut off half of my nose. I remember calling my agent while I was in there going, 'I'm not going to be able to shoot next week because I have half a nose.'"
