If it's not an emergency, I suggest your friend just re-schedule it as well. It's much more important to take care of herself and have a healthy lifestyle.Tue, 01 Dec 2023 20:00:31 +0000I think if you're extremely self conscious of the appearance of your nose, and go to an expert doctor who has proven to have consistently good and natural results, then it can be very much worth it. If someone only wants a very minor change to their nose shape, then no, the risk is much too high, and it is the finesse work that is most difficult and only a handful of surgeons can perform with skill.Mon, 30 Nov 2023 22:32:38 +0000I don't see how it will affect your surgery. Did you push through with the surgery?Mon, 30 Nov 2023 20:01:53 +0000Is it really worth it to have rhinoplasty?Mon, 30 Nov 2023 19:59:03 +0000I do yoga regularly, it helps me relaxWed, 25 Nov 2023 23:10:00 +00005 boob jobs, really?Wed, 25 Nov 2023 23:08:10 +0000I'd prefer waxing than threading.Wed, 25 Nov 2023 23:03:15 +0000I haven't personally had a procedure with Dr. Shahidi, but have read in other forums that the fee is approximately $18k and his wait list for a consult is at about 12 months now. In terms of straightening the septum, this is often done together with rhinoplasty. I'd reccomend finding a surgeon who has an ENT qualification combined with plastic/aesthetic surgery experience. (I've gone to plastic surgeons twice and my septum is still deviated, and somewhat worse than with what I had started with).Tue, 24 Nov 2023 15:00:47 +0000Is it safe to schedule a surgery now that covid cases are rising? A friend is supposed to have her surgery by next week but I convinced her to re-schedule it because I don't think it's safe to go out. What's the status of covid cases in your area?Mon, 23 Nov 2023 16:22:02 +0000I am also thinking of having my nose done, maybe by next year after this Covid thingTue, 17 Nov 2023 20:23:16 +0000How was your surgery? I hope it went wellTue, 17 Nov 2023 20:20:55 +0000Hi, I recently went to an ENT and they recommended Dr Stewart Lee here in Melbourne. I can't find much on him online except that his google ratings are all 5 stars (Good sign!!!). I was wondering if anyone had undergone a consultation/surgery with Dr Stewart Lee, and if so what were your thoughts.Sat, 14 Nov 2023 04:32:48 +0000OMG, she really looked different. I think she has gone too far with her surgery and it doesn't look good on her anymoreTue, 10 Nov 2023 20:03:39 +0000why do you regret it?Tue, 10 Nov 2023 19:57:04 +0000I think you should bring someone with you, since you will be travelling.Tue, 10 Nov 2023 19:45:58 +0000Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body.Tue, 10 Nov 2023 19:43:41 +0000yes there are people like that. Are you sure the ones calling you ugly are your friends?Tue, 10 Nov 2023 19:42:20 +0000I would love to hear from anyone who has recently had a BA or revision with Tony Connell in Perth? I searched the forum but there are only very old threads. I hate my current implants (too big, unnatural) and want a revision to get smaller round implants. I saw Tony about 4 years ago, but decided to wait until after kids... and so here I am! I have a consult with him on Monday, but I feel nervous about the lack of before and after pictures, reviews etc, even though he seems like a lovely man and competent surgeon. I hear that he has recently (in the last few years) started to favour round implants rather than anatomical. Has anybody had their surgery with him recently who can give me feedback (and even better... share some pictures)? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated xxFri, 06 Nov 2023 08:14:23 +0000Motiva make a 1030cc implant I think some weird amount im pretty sure motiva has approval in Australia they do in NZ so too does polytech which can be ordered here as I spoke with the supplier I think they have up to is 1010cc in round and 1030ish in contour which is more anatomical looking. I don't get the 800cc cut off especially as 800 might be huge on someone 5ft but with someone over 6ft and athletic 800 can be lost on their frame really. A few US surgeons overfill saline up to 3000cc but they look very balloonish saline shells when filled just to capacity IMO. Dr Domanskis in the US can get custom silicone much larger but he can only perform surgery in Italy or in the Caribbean somewhere. Could be a very expensive option- that's if we can ever leave the country again 🤪Mon, 02 Nov 2023 06:47:29 +0000Thank you. 🙏🏻Wed, 21 Oct 2023 06:52:39 +0000Tue, 20 Oct 2023 06:57:47 +0000Do you need to get tested for covid before you can go to your dentist?Fri, 16 Oct 2023 19:39:24 +0000I got implants in the first place to "lift" sagging breasts. They were over the muscle and looked great for a year or two until they made the sagging look worse. Then I got capsular contracture, and over time the implants shape got slightly distorted. In the meantime, I put on a decent amount of weight. My implants were modest to begin with, so now they were on the small side in proportion to my body. I decided I needed a revision and underwent the lift I should have had the first time around. My doctor wasn't clear about how involved the surgery would be, and I was under the misapprehension that he could do the lift without removing the implants as part of the surgery. Because of this, I decided to keep my old implants rather than swap them out for larger ones. I really do worry that this was a mistake, because my implants are a little narrow for my frame and they weren't new so might not last as long. I typically wear padded bras to make them look more in proportion with the rest of my body. (Yes, I have breast implants but still wear a padded bra!) If my doctor had been more clear about needing to take the implants out during the revision surgery, I would have definitely gotten new, larger implants. My breasts look pretty good. They are not small (12DD) but they are a bit modest in comparison to the rest of my body. For all that I went through with these surgeries, I am disappointed that I don't "LOVE" my breasts now. Don't get me wrong, they look better than they did before, but they are not amazing. It's also hard for me to get good cleavage too, because there is always a bit of a gap. I suppose they will probably look larger if I lose weight. But if that happens, I worry that I will need another lift! This whole surgery thing has been a bit of a cluster-you-know-what, from the first surgeon advising me to go over the muscle, the ensuing complications (capsular contracture), the miscommunication about my revision surgery, and now my issue with them feeling too small for me. I wish I loved my boobs, but it's hard to be happy with them. Can any of you share any thoughts on my situation?Fri, 16 Oct 2023 14:20:29 +0000Hello to everyone!! I finally decided I wanted to upgrade my body. I am 50 and have been in amazing shape most of my life. Always had a hard time with my abs yadda yadda. I decided to do a mommy makeover for me. I only told a couple of people due to how others react. wow the few I told are very jealous even with how I am healing so quickly. Like I should be in massive pain and crying as to why I did it. I am so happy, do not regret any of it and would do it again. But I feel I have lost who I thought were my friends. My husband and believe it or not my brother very supportive of it. Just don't understand. I would be so happy and uplifting for them? Kinda disappointing and it hurts in it's own way.Thu, 15 Oct 2023 18:59:24 +0000Hi I’m starting to freak out a little as I have surgery in 7 days. I was hoping to have lost 4kgs prior to surgery but haven’t :( will this affect the surgery and results greatly? I’m constantly overthinking this as the nerves are kicking in!Thu, 15 Oct 2023 08:56:28 +0000
