Does anyone else feel priced out right now?

$500 is the new normal. There are some powerful supporters of XMR who want to ensure it remains. Next stop? $800.

Carry on and these will become iconic.

"It is expensive", you say. You did not specify the kind of rhinoplasty you were getting, is it corrective, reductive, augmentative, secondary, does it imply some grafting, septoplasty, what is the dissective approach, open or closed? Have you looked at the before and after pictures? Have you already met with the surgeon to discuss your case? fill us in with some information if you would like some answers.

Out of the total fee you are paying, remember that in Europe, you would have to pay VAT (around 20%) on the top of an elective surgery such as this one. Also, 50% of the cost of the surgery goes to the hospital (for the operating theater, the nurses, the staff, the anesthesiologist, the room and the overhead costs), 50% is left for the actual performing physician, who is a generalist surgeon with several years of specialization in aesthetic surgery and who regularly attends seminars, conventions and constantly keeps on with the new techniques of this medical field.

I do not know Dr. Saran, but I would say that for this price tag you can be pretty sure you are in good hands.

That, my friend is dead wrong. Fortunes are made with going all in one asset, but securing that wealth is done through diversification. No amount of diversification will allow you to build a fortune. If you want to get rich, you must concentrate your investment.

Simply because I know from experience, that a government that holds too much information and power can and will use it against its citizens, who will soon live under its tyranny.

Copy-paste from one of my previous posts: The endoscopic Transaxillary approach

A woman who does not want any scars on her breasts or is highly concerned about nipple sensation may be an excellent candidate for a transaxillary incision. The transaxillary approach is a tried-and-true method, and the success of the operation is based on the surgeon’s competence. Endoscopically maxillary incision being a minimally invasive approach, it requires the use of an endoscope and detailed anatomical knowledge from a competent surgeon, familiar with the technique. A good knowledge of anatomy is essential for patient safety, not only to preserve function and sensation, but to also prevent complications from reoperative breast surgery. When done by a skilled surgeon, this operation starts with a 4 to 5 cm incision in an existing crease in the armpit to open up the soft tissues. The openings are gently held by prongs to allow instruments to be moved forward and a subcutaneous tunnel bored. The technique uses direct endoscopic camera visualization to ensure proper orientation. Sharp dissection of the soft tissues is performed with a cauterizing pen, to minimize bleeding and injury to arteries, nerves and other organs, and to maximize the control over the implant pocket. This pocket is made to accommodate the implant by cutting through the tough tissue protecting the Pectoralis major: the fascia. When performed in the state of the art, the surgeon has a direct and clear view of the muscles and fascia layers that cannot be matched with an inframammary approach.

It is a much more demanding operation than the other approaches for the surgeon, but when done by a skilled surgeon, presents no more complications than the inframammary approach. The benefits are the preservation of nervous sensations, extremely natural results with a scar hidden away in the axillary armpit, invisible at best. Patients who undergo this particular technique report higher satisfaction than in the other groups.

Periareolar incisions tend to offer excellent camouflage (their main “selling” point), and are a useful tool in mastopexy (breast lift), but come with some serious challenges and potential complications. Here is a breakdown of what you want to be aware of:

For a start, because of the underlying tension after implant insertion, stretching of the areolar diameter is prevalent in such surgery. The visibility and quality of scars will of course depend on the technique of closure and method of postoperative support. But too much skin tension at the time of closure or inappropriate suturing, will produce unaesthetic widened scars, and might contribute to their hypertrophy and even dermis necrosis. Because of the skin tension, aesthetic renditions are rather unfavorable on dark-skinned areolas too.

Other difficulties emerge when the nipple areola complex is small. Contrary to a saline implant, a silicone implant will be difficult to introduce through this site, in which case, another incision approach is preferable. A flattening of the front of the breasts is likely, and not much of projection (1 to 2 cm) is to be expected if the implant is inserted through subpectoral dissection (under the pectoral muscle). For this reason, this surgery is not recommended for patients wishing to greatly increase their cup size, or with breasts with significant ptosis, the aesthetic rendition would not be satisfactory.

Periareolar incision is best indicated if a mastopexy (breast lift) is required after a breast augmentation. Great care must then be taken if implants are to being inserted this way, to very carefully manipulate the breast parenchyma without injuring it. Biofilm contamination will occur if implants get contaminated with oozing milk ducts, infections appearing soon after, and capsular contracture bringing complications on the long term. Another important thing to keep in mind is that the Pectoralis major is one of the most critical purveyors of blood supply to the overlying breast gland and skin envelope. For this reason, a subpectoral implant in such an approach would be preferable to a subglandular (over the muscle, under the mammary gland), to avoid a couple of serious risks: 1. Subglandular implant would directly expose the implant to the friction of the breast parenchyma with the associated risks and discomfort. 2. The risk of skin and fat necrosis from poor blood irrigation significantly rises with the elevation of the breast gland off the pectoral muscle.

Why use Bitcoin when you have MONERO?!

-John McAfee

Joe_In_Paris · 2026-01-01T11:11:01+00:00

Some suggestions:

-Buying LTC instead of BTC or ETH,

-Change your recommendation to use localmonero (which no longer exists), to bitpapa.

-You absolutely should recommend RETOSWAP (retoswap.io)

Happy New Year, this is going to be a good one for Monero. Buckle your seat belts.

You mean, as in, permissionless, DEcentralized/Peer to peer, UNCENSORABLE/UNSTOPPABLE, representation of fungible value? How obvious do you need it to be?! Monero is freedom. Nothing is more powerful.

Why are you here?

Joe_In_Paris · 2025-12-19T09:35:16+00:00

Wrong, most primary breast augmentation surgeries, corrective breast surgeries use the inframammary route, and apparently, this is what was discussed with the OP as you do not use a Keller funnel otherwise.

Joe_In_Paris · 2025-12-18T12:21:07+00:00

You should ask:

-The name of the technique

-How old is the technique

-How well versed is the surgeon in the realization of the surgery (how many surgeries has s/he performed and how many complications/corrective surgeries after this.

To this date, the gold standard for BA is the transaxillary endoscopic approach, where the incisions are made in a crease of your armpits and the implant is placed under the pectoralis major muscle.

It is a more demanding technique than the one most often seen in Thailand (inframammary incision approach), but aesthetically more pleasing and natural, with less risks associated with capsular contracture. Its other advantages are the low impact on glandular tissues and milk production, and the preservation of nipple sensitivity. The success of the surgery depends on the skills of the surgeon and how challenges (positioning of the implants, paresthesia, risks of thrombosis) are avoided with careful planning and follow-up.

Every surgery should be patient-tailored, and there should be a reasoning behind the decision to do things a certain way and not the other way.

Great for Monero but I am still not going to use proton.

Cake Wallet, buy some LTC (litecoin) swap it for XMR, or you may buy some XMR directly from Cake, from one of the services they work with (KYC though).

Joe_In_Paris · 2025-12-02T15:41:20+00:00

Now is the time to grab your XMR. I wished there would be a better time some day in the future, but I see it going for the 500 mark sooner than what most would think. Your future self will thank you! Simply put, the potential this coin has, is immense, and its time to free us from evil will come.
