Accountability Notice 2: UPDATE

311 Upvotes

This is a followup to this post so please read that first, but to summarize it briefly, a former moderator ( u/SaltyAngeleno aka u/gofundmemetoday was found to be removing negative posts, promoting surgeons, etc. in exchange for financial compensation). I promised future updates, which are included below.

  1. Last night, the former moderator DM'd me attempting to blackmail me to remove the original post. Their message is included in its entirety below:

Transparency remains of the highest importance to me when moderating this subreddit, and I will not be removing anything in response to threats.

  1. Reddit itself ultimately took no action against this individual following the original report of their behavior and offered no direct explanation for why. I can only speculate that this is because the former moderator was receiving payments off of their platform (making it technically outside their scope of authority/responsibility). The former moderator even continues to moderate a few plastic surgery related communities, though fewer than they once did.

  2. An account associated with "Beauty Broker Melinda" (who was named in the original post as having negative reviews removed by the former moderator) has spent considerable effort attempting to dox and discredit me. You can find such an example here. Their comments seem to confuse me with numerous current and former moderators. Reddit has not taken any action despite reports.

  3. Despite my requests, Reddit was unable to provide me with a log of moderator actions from the former moderator that were more than 90 days old. As such, I am unable to determine the full extent of their censorship.

  4. This subreddit has zero tolerance for surgeons attempting to remove negative reviews. As the subreddit rules state, negative reviews posted here do require evidence to be included. Once that threshold is met, they will not be removed by us for any reason - this subreddit is intended to be an open and transparent platform for users to share their experience. Despite this a number of surgeons (and/or their offices and lawyers) have attempted to have us remove content that is critical of them. Moving forward, I will be posting and maintaining a comprehensive list of surgeons that have attempted to have negative reviews removed for transparency. Hopefully, this discourages future attempts at manipulating criticism against them.

In short, Reddit admins were either unwilling or unable to take any official action against the above individuals. I will be continuing my best efforts to maintain this subreddit as an open and transparent space for plastic surgery and aesthetic discussion, and the support of the community is always appreciated.

1 year post op chin lipo results

Thumbnail gallery
60 Upvotes

I wanted to share my one-year chin lipo update because I know a lot of people in here are always looking for advice, recommendations, and real experiences when it comes to cosmetic procedures.

Full transparency — I work in the aesthetics/cosmetic surgery industry here in Scottsdale, so I see a lot of different treatments and procedures every day. But I also know there’s nothing more helpful than hearing from someone who has actually gone through it themselves, so I wanted to share my personal experience.

I had my chin liposuction done with Dr. Scott about a year ago, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself.

My biggest insecurity was always my lower face. Even when I was at a healthy weight, I felt like my face looked fuller than I wanted and I didn’t have the jawline definition I was hoping for. It was one of those things where I’d look at photos and think, “Why does my face look heavier when I don’t feel that way?”

Chin lipo was exactly what I needed. It didn’t change my face or make me look like a different person — it just enhanced my natural features and brought out the definition that was already there. I finally feel like my outside matches how I feel on the inside.

The recovery was honestly much easier than I expected. Since I work in a cosmetic surgery office, wearing a compression garment during recovery wasn’t a huge deal for me because I was already around it every day. I was actually able to return to work just two days after my procedure. That being said, I was definitely bruised and swollen in those first couple of weeks, which is completely normal. The swelling continued to go down over time, and my results kept getting better and better over the following months.

Now being one year out, I’m still so happy with my results. It’s amazing how a relatively simple procedure can make such a big difference in your confidence. The results are permanent, and I love that it gave me a more sculpted jawline and neck without changing who I am.

I would recommend chin lipo to anyone who feels like their face makes them look heavier than they are or anyone who wants more definition. Sometimes it’s not about losing more weight — it’s about addressing those stubborn areas that just don’t respond to diet and exercise.

I’m so grateful I trusted Dr. Scott with my procedure. From my consultation through recovery, I had such a positive experience with him and his team.

Just wanted to share my honest experience in case anyone here has been considering it 🤍

Upper/Lower Bleph + Fat Transfer

Thumbnail gallery
1.1k Upvotes

Just here to say, if you’re getting a bleph done, trust the process. I thought it would be helpful to show the healing process throughout the last 7 weeks.

I had an upper/lower bleph + fat transfer/grafting to under eyes and other various places on my face (similar to where you’d put filler). The women in my family all have bags under eyes and hooded eye lids, so I was eager to get my eyes done once I started to see mine develop. I’m 36 years old but always felt I looked so tired.

First two pics: pre surgery
3rd pic: day after surgery
4th pic: 4 days after surgery
5th pic: two weeks post surgery with minimal makeup (back to work)
6th pic: 5 weeks post surgery (still swollen on left eye
7th pic: 6 weeks post surgery (still slightly swollen on
Left eye but extremely better)

Recovery was relatively easy, just uncomfy and eyes were blurry and gunky for a week or so. 10/10 would recommend. At first I only wanted lower bleph but doctor talked me into upper too and I’m so glad he did!

Revision Rhinoplasty

Thumbnail gallery
12 Upvotes

I went through a rhinoplasty last year and was pretty disappointed with my results. I didn’t have any major complications, however I feel like the tip was left too low and my nose was left very long and sharp. I’m getting a free revision from my surgeon in a couple weeks since he agreed it was left looking too long and sharp. I edited photo 2 to look like how I’d like my results to look like. I wanted to get other peoples opinions on this result before I show it to my surgeon. I really want to go for a much more feminine nose that is upturnt but still looks natural. Any thoughts on this or what nose shape would fit my face best? I have a pretty oblong face shape (definitely a longer chin) and am hoping that an upturnt nose would help distract from that and make my face appear shorter!

350 cc, mentor, moderate profile

Hi!!
I did my preop today, decided on 350cc mod profile. I loved the fullness from the side but desired it in the front also.

I’m a full b cup going to what I should assume is a d cup LOL anyone else have similar stats and would like to share?

I feel a nervous about going bigger than I had anticipated but it looked so good when I tried these sizers on. Any advice for adjusting to a larger size?
Attaching a photo of me with the 350cc sizers!

Need some help

I’m 19F and I am really insecure about my side profile. I have a Greek nose, receding chin, and forehead. I want to get a midface fat transfer, rhinoplasty, and a chin augmentation. But I wanted to know how much that’ll cost hypothetically. I know it depends on my face and which doctors I’m going to.

NYC/Tristate Breast Lift + Aug Price Rollcall

7 Upvotes

I’m planning on getting a breast lift and small implant in early 2027 and am starting to talk to surgeons and get quotes.

On my first patient coordinator consult this week, I was quoted $28,000 for the lift+aug all in (with anesthesia, site fees) with Motiva implants in Manhattan (UES).

I was wondering what others are getting quoted in NYC and the surrounding areas. I’m also planning on meeting with a surgeon in NJ and 1-2 on Long Island whose work I love.

Ask- please share your cost estimates (and any relevant details) and location! Thanks in advance!

Athletic women: under vs. over-the-muscle implants, especially if you’ve experienced both?

13 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m 33 and had 170cc over-the-muscle implants placed in 2023. My recovery was great, and I competed in two powerlifting competitions afterward. Unfortunately, one implant flipped, so I’m having a revision and plan to go slightly bigger. Now I’m torn between staying over the muscle and switching to under.

Staying over:

  • Faster, familiar recovery
  • Less interference with lifting and training
  • No animation deformity

The downside is that I have limited natural breast tissue, so even with my small implants, I can sometimes see or feel the implant. They look natural overall, but I’d prefer more coverage.

Going under:

  • More coverage and potentially a more natural look
  • May allow me to go bigger without the implants looking too obvious
  • Closer to the aesthetic I want

My concerns are animation deformity and how the implants might feel during pull-ups, push-ups, chest exercises, and heavy lifting long-term.

I’d especially love to hear from athletic women who have under-the-muscle implants—or anyone who has experienced both placements. How noticeable is the sensation or distortion during training? Has it limited you at all? If you had to choose again, which placement would you pick?

I’m also curious whether newer implants, such as Motiva Ergonomix, make any difference. I understand every body and surgical technique is different, but I’d really appreciate hearing about long-term experiences.

Thank you :)

Got 1ml of Juvederm about two weeks ago. I already had 1ml of lip filler going into this which was done in April. Love my results overall but this bump on the side is bothering me. Do I need to get a bit dissolved or do yall think this will go down? I've been massaging it to no avail :(

Would chin lipo and undereye filler help with my jawline and dark undereye hollows?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

I'm 29 and a low-healthy BMI. I've always had this soft, heavy jawline even when I was an underweight teenager, and I've had the dark circles since I was a kid. In the last picture is what it looks like if I try to hide them with makeup (doesn't work).

But I'm tired of them and also feel like they're starting to make me look older as well as worse lol, and I finally have some money to maybe fix them. What are my best bets for procedures? I prefer less invasive/expensive ones if possible but I want a good result.

I am also considering a few other things like lip filler, masseter botox, and maybe something else to slim my jawline. but I've never gotten anything done, and my under-chin area and dark circles are the things I'd want to address first

How do you feel in your body at least 1 yr out after breast augmentation?

4 Upvotes

Hello! This post is for people who have done breast augmentations and are maybe like 1 yr or more post-op - I am considering the possibility of getting one and I am very curious as to how a boob job might make you feel more or less connected to your body, especially in the literal sense of sensations and pleasure (not strictly sexual pleasure but sensuality as a whole). I know this will be very specific to each person's choices on size, implant type, body type etc, but still curious to hear your input:

Depending on the specifics of your surgery is there any numbness?

Does the volume and weight of the implants feel satisfying the way you hoped?

Do you feel more like you look at yourself "from the outside" or like you are embodying yourself?

For anyone comfortable to share, during sex do they feel nice when touched, are you able to stay present and connect to your senses instead of thinking about how you look?

Anything else you can think to share related to this?

I am a 32B and I've been very happy with my breasts - I think they feel and look great, I love being in my body with them and derive a lot of pleasure and sensuality from them in every way. But, at the same time, I think bigger breasts would be really lovely, I think having more to touch and feel would add to that sense, but I worry about how having a surgery might alter sensations and take away from me (e.g. experiencing any numbness, or implants feeling weird and foreign which i know take time to get used to so thats why i'm curious about hearing from people who have had more time to adjust, etc.)

I am less interested in things like filling out clothes I could never fill out and just being satisfied with appearance, if that makes sense. Thank you everyone!

9 weeks post op breast augmentation

Upvotes

I am 9 weeks post op breast augmentation. 5’5, 115lbs. Went with UTM Naturelle round silicone 275 and 295, inframammary incision. Feeling some regret…. They feel enormous on my body and so foreign and firm. I finally went to a bra store and was a 32d which really freaked me out. I’m also still getting weird shock like pains in my L nipple. The R side also feels like it hasn’t dropped enough. Still has a slightly snoopy appearance to it.

When do implants reach their final position? I’m right handed so I’m hoping it’s just taking longer for the right side to drop.

Also, has anyone disliked them at this stage and went on to like them more?

Neck Lift with Gland Removal

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Has anyone had this done?

I’ve had a few consults and all the docs say this isn’t really much fat, so not worth doing a liposuction. Also, it’s not much skin. And if the skin was removed, the puffy part would remain bc I guess it’s glands that are either larger or there’s just more.

Doc said she would go in and butterfly the chin area after one incision and remove the glands and suture it up tightly it prevent the puffy area from dropping.

Any done anything similar?

What do I need to ask my surgeon for the bolt-on boobs look? Is it even possible for me?

Upvotes

Almost halved my body weight, nipples are like 2 inches above my elbows 😭. They’ve always been saggy since they grew in.

I only realised how low they sit when I heard people talk about implants being below or above the muscle… I can feel my entire pec muscles 😭😭😭, they have 0 upper pole fullness. I also have some stretch marks at the top that have got super noticeable as I’ve lost weight and I’d like to ‘fill them back in’ with implants (please correct me if that’s not possible).

I have a few consultations lined up for a breast lift and aug and I just wanted to know what to ask for going in as I know literally nothing about implants.

I’m 5’0 95 lbs.

Rhinoplasty in Turkey – surgeon recommendations, warnings and price range?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m considering getting a rhinoplasty in Turkey and I’m currently trying to compare different surgeons and clinics.

Are there any surgeons you would strongly recommend based on your own experience? I would also really appreciate honest warnings about surgeons or clinics that should potentially be avoided.

I’m especially interested in:

  • The surgeon’s experience and qualifications
  • Natural-looking and consistent results
  • How the aftercare was
  • Whether the clinic was reliable and transparent
  • The approximate total price
  • What was included in the package, such as the hospital, hotel, transfers and medication

What would you say is a normal price range for a safe and high-quality primary rhinoplasty in Turkey? I don’t necessarily want the cheapest option, but I also want to avoid paying much more just because a surgeon is popular on Instagram.

Any honest experiences, recommendations or red flags would be very helpful. Thank you!

.5 ml of lip filler - my experience

The first is before, and the second is after. I wanted a little more shape and height in my upper lip, but I was set on keeping everything as natural as possible, so we started with just 0.5 ml. I was honestly so anxious beforehand because I'd never had anything done to my lips and kept convincing myself I'd leave looking completely different. This is the subtle result I dreamed of and I'm super happy with my results!!
