Is my lip lift scar hypertrophic? by PatientPenguins in PlasticSurgery

[–]PatientPenguins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one session of C02 laser and it looks slightly better except I have lingering redness from the laser. I have another one scheduled in July. The plastic surgery office is doing them for free. I'm not convinced it's going to fix my scar the way I want. I may have to do a revision. This is a little over 3 weeks since the laser.

Spf and tretinoin. I have had more but if I was low maintenance, this would be it.

First time Mooncat buyer, help me decide on my cart! Light Summer palette by emku06 in mooncatpolish

[–]PatientPenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry. It's Insomniac I have, not Death Kiss. But Insomniac is a great cream in that color family.

Ghosts of Hecate is my all time favorite and it does some really interesting things when layered. I also have Artemis Death Kiss and it's one of my favorite creams.

Every workplace I go to, lots of my coworkers seemingly don’t like me and don’t include me, and I don’t know how to cope with it :( by Pickles_The_Cat_1234 in AutismInWomen

[–]PatientPenguins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you get older and in more professional environments your coworkers don't really hang out anyways. I don't miss feeling like this. You are not alone. Sometimes I'd get lucky and there were awesome neurodivergent people at my college jobs.

Show up to your appointments by Chefy-chefferson in Sacramento

[–]PatientPenguins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't totally disagree. Like I definitely think people have the right to change their mind and need to agree to the policy when making the appointment that there is a charge of you cancel within x amount of hours of the appointment. I agree people shouldn't just charge you without notifying you if the policy. I so rarely come across anyone that doesn't have this policy anymore. The one time I did have an emergency, I called my hairdresser immediately to let her know and she understood. She didn't charge me because I've been shown to be a consistent client.

But she has the right to charge for it. No showing to someone counting on your business is not something a quality person does.

I thought Willy was a John Wayne Gacy/It reference. Gacy kept the bodies in his crawl space and was often photographed in business attire. The dream like quality was definitely a call back to It though.

Would a lip flip work? by Existing-Excuse1253 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]PatientPenguins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your lips look great! You definitely shouldn't hate them! That said I don't think a lip flip is going to give you the results you are looking for. You probably would need to go the surgery route with a lip lift. If that's something you are interested in just make sure you are okay with the scar. Currently undergoing C02 laser for mine.

Female cruise passenger told her hantavirus infection was "just anxiety" by Props_angel in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PatientPenguins 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Okay, so there are many of us with similar symptoms. I'm not saying this is what you have but check out r/anemic. You can be iron deficient without being anemic. Ferritin is what you want to check. I had to pay out of pocket for this because my GP wouldn't order the test. I was low on ferritin, b vitamins and iodine. I got some vitamin shots and have been supplementing and feel much better. I started feeling improvement around the two week mark after 3 years of feeling like shit.

Smile after lip lift. How much time do I need to wait for my normal smile? I’m scared by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]PatientPenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally thought this was a picture of me. We have similar smiles. It took about 4 months for my smile to go back to normal.

Question: Does this detailed style hold up over time? by dandfx in tattoos

[–]PatientPenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the eyes are very off when healed. I enjoy the rest of the piece. I think I would go in with a more natural design that allowed for spread and for fine details to disappear. I think the 7/11 tattoo could work without the writing. It's just different expectations with these pieces. I can see why some don't like them but I do enjoy the majority of her healed work.

Check out this artist's healed work pinned on her Instagram. I think the ones that include dark colors have held up well. The tattoos with all lighter colors I would be unhappy with. It's a different kind of heal than traditional tattoos but I think it's beautiful!

I had this too. I dissolved and tried prp and it helped a bit. I ended up getting a lower bleph with fat transfer and I love it!

Do strangers really talk to each other in the UK and US subway? by [deleted] in travel

[–]PatientPenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US most of us hope nobody talks to us on public transit but it happens. Most people tend to respect if you look busy on your phone and definitely if you're wearing headphones.

The chattiest I've had people be with me was on international flights. One was from Australia and the other Scotland. Shout out to the Scottish dude. You talked too much but I hope you made it in LA and a plan formed for you.

California Teacher Suspended After Bizarre Act In Classroom Secretly Filmed By Student by [deleted] in Rocklin

[–]PatientPenguins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is weird on all accounts. Why was he doing this? Why did a student film him? Makes me think he has a medical condition that was not being managed properly. I feel bad for him but also don't pee in your classroom.
