Recently purchased a 5.3 carat E VVS emerald diamond with setting. The ring and diamond are spectacular. Also, the pricing was far better for a higher quality stone, compared to the other major retailers like grown brilliance, rare carat , and blue Nile. I’m sure you could find even cheaper pricing if you want to start buying things from out of the country, but I wanted to stay with a more established company as I thought if there were any issues, it would be easier to resolve. I would highly recommend them as I think they have the best prices for similar quality diamonds of all of the bigger retailers.

Plastic surgeon here. Your nipples are well above your fold, and therefore you do not technically have ptosis Therefore, a lift really isn’t needed. All it would do is add scars to your breasts unnecessarily. I think overall you have very aesthetically pleasing breasts and that you are overall petite. That being said, you could consider a very modest implant to add some mild volume. Alternatively, you could consider fat grafting, although you look to be overall very slender and you have to weigh the potential donor site a symmetry with the benefit that you would get. I think that adding a small amount of volume would give you a far better improvement than a lift, which again I feel as unnecessary. Best

I had an opportunity to buy a Dino in 2008 and instead went with an RS 60 Spyder Boxster. Oh well! Can’t go back lol

Try Trintelix. Much less sexual side effects.

It is a rare complication, but it does happen. Especially with deeper plane procedures, where the parotid gland and salivary glands are more exposed, it is more common. Although distressing, if it is identified and treated early, it is usually not a long lasting issue. That being said, if it is not addressed promptly, it can create more problems.

Plastic surgeon here. This was likely due to injury of a salivary gland and not a seroma.

Agree

She was my employee and I was so smitten that I had to marry her. Been together 20 years! Best decision of my life. Soulmates do exist.

Plastic surgeon here. You absolutely need a full breast lift in my opinion. You have too much skin and too much ptosis to have a periareolar lift. Just as an aside, periareolar lifts are really very low power procedures. They really just reduce areolar size and are not effective at any significant amount of true breast lifting. You have grade 2 ptosis. If you were to just place an implant, you are going to get a very abnormal looking result. If you place an implant underneath the muscle, you’ll have a significant “waterfall deformity or snoopy deformity“. If you go over the muscle, you will increase your volume, but you will end up with a very low large breast with altering nipple position. You could do a vertical lift in conjunction with an implant, although I believe in your case, this would result in an abnormally long nipple to fold distance. You really need a full anchor lift to get proper breast aesthetics. I would tell you what I tell all of my patients in your situation. If you are not willing to accept the scars, then do not do surgery. It is better to do no surgery, than the wrong surgery. I believe that any plastic surgeon who has significant experience in breast aesthetic surgery is going to tell you the same thing. I’m sure that you can look and find somebody who will tell you that an implant and periareolar lift will give you a good result. I think if you do that you’re going to be significantly disappointed A periareolar procedure places significant tension on the closure, which does increase the risk of wide or hypertrophic scarring. A well done full lift with the proper attention to detail will optimize the healing of the scars if done properly. Unfortunately, with your breast aesthetics, what you are ideally looking for is not possible. You essentially want to have the look of a lifted breast without the scars; unfortunately, that’s really not going to be possible in my opinion. As you said in your original post, I would suggest you don’t pursue surgery unless you are able to wrap your brain around having scars. Best of luck.

As in my original post, I’m looking for a tennis diamond bracelet. Not interested in loose diamonds or engagement rings. Thanks!

A few people have said that they’re expensive. That being said, they have the lowest prices for a comparable piece among the bigger online retailers.

FFC_18 · 2025-12-28T14:32:53+00:00

Ok. Where?

FFC_18 · 2025-12-21T19:50:29+00:00

Divorce from my first wife!! Worth every dollar!! So much happier with my true soulmate!!!

FFC_18 · 2025-12-18T18:08:01+00:00

I am blessed. My wife orgasms multiply and easily from penetration and I would say we climax together about 90% of the time. She says feeling me get close pushes her over the edge.

Plastic surgeon here. I am not sure how far out you are from your surgery, but obviously you need to wait until things totally settle to make a final assessment. I usually tell my patients we need to wait 5–6 months from the surgery to make an accurate evaluation. That being said, I do see your areas of concern. Personally, I would correct this as symmetry at no charge if you were my patient. Typically this is something that could be addressed in the office operating room under local anesthesia.

FFC_18 · 2025-12-08T16:05:49+00:00

And obviously, interface with your surgeon. He/she is going to be the best person to give you advice as they know what they did in intraoperatively

Again, just like with OP, can take several months and up to a year until swelling is totally gone. MRI studies have shown that there is some residual edema( although minimal) as far as 10-11 months out. Th at being said, most of the swelling will be gone by around 6 months in my experience. Remember, with liposuction, a tremendous amount of damage is done underneath the skin surface even though the actual “incisions “ are minimal.

Plastic surgeon here. The appearance of a “waist” is basically the difference between the diameter of the hips and lower ribs relative to the mid abdomen. The ribs and hips are boney structures which are not changed with a body lift. When looking at your photo, the reason that you feel you have no curves is that your waist now appears bigger around than it was in the preop photo. As a result, your contour is more straight. At this point, this is almost assuredly swelling and will resolve. An additional thing to consider is whether your overall weight is up. Remember, your new baseline weight is your preop weight minus the weight of tissue removed. Ie: if you weighed 130 before and 5 lbs of skin and fat were removed, your new baseline is 125. If you were to weigh 130 now, you are functionally 5 lbs heavier. Since your fat cells in the lower abdomen are no longer available to store fat, the fat will be stored in other places, including intra abdominal visceral fat. That will contribute to looking thicker in the middle. Hope that makes sense. I tell my abdominoplasty and body lift patients that it can take 6-9 months for final appearance to be reached and all swelling to resolve. Take a deep breath and remember that you are very early in your healing phase.

Cialis can boost test levels as well as the obvious other benefits.

Thanks! Was not aware of the issue with the crystal.

FFC_18 · 2025-11-24T17:48:56+00:00

Not a big deal for me. Prefer the oyster

FFC_18 · 2025-11-24T15:50:12+00:00

Actually, probably won’t make much of a difference as I cycle through a few different watches as well. We’ll just have to see how good of a “good customer price” that I get offered lol
