1 week in. scabs coming off and hairs coming with themfirst proper wash was the scariest part. they told me just let the water run over it and pat dry, no rubbing at all. did that for a few days and now the scabs are coming off on their own.thing is a few hairs come off with them. actual hairs sitting in my palm. i know everyone says the graft is under the skin and safe by now but seeing it is a different thing, my brain does not care what the internet says.pain is pretty much gone, thats the good news. the swelling came down into my forehead around day 3 and i looked like a boxer for two days, then it just went. now its the itching. driving me insane, worst at night.so did hairs come off with your scabs around day 7 and was it fine in the end. how long until the itching stopped for you. and when did you start wearing a hat again, ive got a wedding in 3 weeks and right now theres no way

Liposuction for love handles

I’m around 30 and you cant really notice it when I’m wearing regular clothes, but whenever I wear a bikini, fat kinda sticks out around my sides. I’ve been thinking about getting lipo, but so many people are telling me not to do it. Has anyone had lipo for something similar, and was it worth it?

update from my post a few weeks ago, i booked a second opinion instead of deciding. felt like the first grown up decision ive made about any of this

Tummy tuck Scar

I had a tummy tuck 3 months ago and ended up with this scar. I contacted my surgeon and he said it’s nothing to worry about and that it sometimes happens, but I’m still concerned because only one side looks like this. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this normal?

Breast Lift Revision

I had a breast lift with implants, but I still feel like they could be more lifted. I dont know if I’m overthinking it or if I might need a revision. Has anyone else felt this way after surgery?

day 1. is this bumpy thing normalsorry for the photo, theres still a bit of blood so it looks worse than it is.got it done yesterday. nobody warned me about the pain. i did not sleep at all last night, sat up on two pillows like an idiot staring at the ceiling until 5am. the painkillers work for maybe 3 hours then its back.what im actually worried about is these little bumps everywhere, donor area and the front, some with a tiny crust on top. clinic said normal, dont touch them. but you know how it goes, you google once and suddenly youre sure its infected.anyone remember what day 1 and 2 looked like on you? did the bumps clear up on their own. and did you sleep at all that first week or is this just how it is

i have been researching breast surgery for four months and i think i know less than when i started. every surgeon tells me one thing and every forum tells me another. how did you all actually decide

One of my upper eyelids droops more on the outer side, so I’m thinking about getting upper eyelid surgery. I’m also considering combining it with a mid-face lift, but one surgeon I saw in London suggested a temporal lift instead. Has anyone had a similar issue or combined these procedures? I’d love to hear about your results or get surgeon recomendations.

has anyone actually used silicone sheets for the full 12 weeks on a tummy tuck scar. i keep forgetting mine for 2 days at a time and then feeling guilty about it

how do you tell people. or do you just not

I have lipedema and most of the surgeons I’ve talked to dont want to perform liposuction on my legs. Has anyone had this done successfully? I’m open to surgeon recomendations.
