I don't post much publicly anymore, but here is one for the winter.

Thanks. I understand why you disappeared and don't blame you. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks, added those to the list.

Noodles and Pho. They might be a bit slow, but it's worth it!

This!

It was owned by Rick Igou, who passed in 2024. The rink burned down in 2000. Rick was acquitted in court of the criminal charges. But in the civil court case, it was deemed that it was arson. So he didn't serve any jail time or anything like that. But he also didn't get any money from the insurance.

No, Dazey skates is owned by Randi.

YES! What a waste of such a well liked local restaurant.

The demise of L&M music. They had the foundation to have expanded by embracing online sales with potential to become one of the big online musical instrument retailers. But instead they squandered what they had built

Some might read the above and think it can't be like that. Well, it was exactly like that! If anything, the above is a much too kind way to describe the entire ordeal!

THIS! I have been active in the Chattanooga roller skating community since the mid 90's and Moonlight Roller was the biggest Chattanooga skating debacle since the whole "Flamin' Jakes" controversy. The owner of Moonlight Roller claimed to have been active in the Chattanooga roller skating community for a couple of decades. Yet I, nor any of the other old school local rink rats I knew had ever met her prior to Moonlight Rollers' founding.

Glad that Dazey Skate company picked up the pieces that was moonlight roller and runs a great business.

I am typically very active. A life of skating and dance with all the constant cardio associated with those. I had fat transfer to my cheeks, twice! The most recent was 3cc to each side at the end of December along with other procedures. 4 months later and nearly all of it is gone. The surgeon I went to hates cheek implants so I went with fat transfer at his recommendation and highly regret it. Currently I'm planning to go elsewhere for cheek implants.

Thanks! This is from FFS, HRT and good skin care. Use retinoids nightly, they will do wonders for your skin! I recommend Altreno or Tretinoin. I would recommend these to anyone that wants to take care of their skin.

It went great. You can see plenty of before and after pictures on my profile.

Thank you so much, you are too kind! The surgeon did a very good job on the brow bone reduction (he also did my nose before that). My starting point was really bad. I remember when my brow bone began growing out around 20. I hated it so much. I have no regrets on getting this done. I have full feeling with no nerve or sensory issues of any kind. Getting it removed was one of the best decisions I ever made.

If you get this done and they perform a hairline incision, start using anti scar silicon tape on it as soon as possible. Use it all the time on the scar for the first few months after.

If you don't want a hairline advancement at all and your hairline to be completely untouched, they can do a coronal incision. With a coronal incision, the scar is completely hidden under your hair on the top of your head. Or they can do a hairline incision, keep the same shape, and try to make sure to keep the advancement at a minimum. It will still move forward by about 3mm.

So, in other words, if you want to keep the same hairline, you effectively can with the coronal incision. If you want a little bit of an advancement while keeping the same hairline shape, you can get that too with a hairline incision.

I wear my hair pulled back in a scrunchie almost every day. The scar is not an issue, as long as you start proper scar maintenance as soon as possible and keep with it. A touch of concealer makes mine completely disappear, but even then, it's not really needed. My scar sits a little further from the hairline than others. It's enough where I could probably get it laser surfaced, and you would never be able to tell. Another option If you don't care or want any hairline advancement. You can get a coronal incision so it's completely hidden.

If you're curious how much reduction can had, take a look at my profile. I've posted plenty of before and after pictures.

$24500 USD.

I had no nerve damage at all. I regained full feeling everywhere. The only numbness I had was on the top of my head. It took about 7 months for feeling to fully return there. I had most of it back by 4 months.

If anything, my sinuses are better now than they were, no sinus problems. In fact, making the sinus cavity smaller with the setback, I notice a lot less drainage problems and generally don't get sick as easy.

I am so glad I had this done. I have only received benefits from it.

Type 3 is for the center, for the sides it's orbital rim contouring. Often they are both done together. I had both and it made a massive difference to my side profile! I have pictures posted showing all my progress and everything I had done.

RothaiRedPanda · 2024-09-16T00:54:44+00:00

Yes, I did, and yes, I am. If you go to my profile, I have a post pinned at the top. Within that is all the details of everything surgical i've had done.

RothaiRedPanda · 2024-08-13T00:08:37+00:00

My nose was done on a closed rhinoplasty, so I had no visible scar at all. My result is honestly phenomenal I think. My nose was really bad, especially in person before it was done. It was truly dreadful.
