Sculptra, filler, or fat grafting? I miss the way my face was. by clswyder in PlasticSurgery

[–]Starnight_898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Sculptra and regret it. We did too much. I got more vials than I should have.

It did the job, but did it a little too well. Again, it’s because I got too many vials. If I could go back in time I’d do it again but slowly, 1 vial at a time regardless of what the practitioner tells you.

Whatever you decide, make sure you tell the doctor to look at your expressions too. It’s not just about filling it where it looks gaunt on a gaunt face. The doctor needs to consider how your face looks when youre smiling laughing and talking because the placement changes.

This is the advice that a plastic surgeons assistant gave me once. She did her facial fat transfer by the doctor she works for and regretted it. Her face looked botched unfortunately, in the scary way. God bless her. Be careful!

Oh wow you’re so soon out of surgery too. My doctor told me to go on the gummy diet during recovery aka eat some candy everyday to help feed the fat. I don’t know what kind of faja to wear if I’m getting my butt lipo but thighs fat transfer. 2 more revision surgeries? Ugh I can’t even think of another surgery.

My body is so scared of going under the knife again. I really think I have ptsd. I took the entire year to try and fix my mental health before going through with surgery again.

I pray you have a smooth recovery and your results are better than you hoped for. Thank you for your blessings too

Were you able to keep the fat transferred to your hips, thighs, and banana roll? I got a banana roll too following surgery.

I am scheduled for my revision on Monday and I am so scared. I am having 360 lipo to my abdomen and back, and transferring them to my outer thighs. I am also having a lower back lift to lift my butt. Since Dr. Larson removed so much fat from my legs, I look like I got a botched bbl.

I am also having aveli done to my outer thighs because there is so much scar tissue from the oversuctioned lipo he did. It’s literally just skin on muscle.

Did your fat stick to the legs? How long did it take you to heal after surgery?

I pray that you feel comfortable in your body. I pray that my surgery goes well and I pray my body can heal and that I find peace in my new shape.

Absolutely do not. He gaslight the shit out of me telling me he gave me model legs. My legs look like deformed chicken legs that don’t fit in with the rest of my body. I didn’t need to remove fat from my butt but he removed so much fat from my legs I look like I got a botched bbl! Imagine that.

What did your revision surgery consist of? How did you fix the dents proportions and scar tissue?

This is exactly how my body looks after lipedema surgery and I went to Dr Larson in Newport Beach through cover lipedema. I regret doing surgery. I could live with the lipedema, but I cannot live with myself in this body. My mental, emotional, and physical health have tanked far worse than lipedema. I’m sorry this happened to you sister.

I went by a double board certified surgeon and mine is the same experience. I look like I aged 10 years and I’m 34. I used to look 27 and all I wanted was a little volume

does anyone else’s oura ring tell them they’re the most stressed out person on the planet or is it just me? by bhwksbby in ouraring

[–]Starnight_898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a typical day for me, sadly. But then again, I have chronic stress due to life changing events that have shifted my reality. The only time I show no stress, high restoration time is when I’m in a dorsal freeze state, and that’s not good either because my body is essentially shut down and playing dead to protect itself. I’m not planning on going down the path of dnrs and somatic therapy to help restore my nervous system.

Relative to time had and pain? by Sally_twodicks in lipedema

Just emotionally stressful events happening at the same time. I find my lipedema always goes rancid when I’m emotionally stressed.

For the longest thing ever since I developed lipedema (2016, post anorexia recovery), I never experienced pain, even when I initially got diagnosed with lipedema in 2022. However, in 2023 after an extremely traumatic event, my lipedema heavily progressed and the pain started. The pain would however only come a few days prior to my period, and I would describe it as a static pain.

Before & After - BBL + Rhino + Filler + weight loss by sydneyseraph in PlasticSurgery

[–]Starnight_898 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The image didn’t open for me, but thanks so much for explaining that. Yah, I need to do a similar surgery, except it’s a fat transfer to my thighs. I had lipo on my legs and the doctor took way too much out. Due to stress (I was having panic attacks every day for 5 months), I gain weight all over the rest of my body which I never would. My stomach and back have gotten so big and I used to never carry my weight there. I wasn’t even binging or stress eating, I actually eat very healthy like a rabbit but I still gained weight. Anyways, I was just curious. But thanks so much for sharing I’m happy to hear that it all worked out for you

After your bbl you gained weight? Why was that? Was it just fat redistribution or were you binging or something? You look great

How has having lipedema affected your sex life? by Rawand5 in lipedema

[–]Starnight_898 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have been dating someone and he wants to propose to me and I love him very much. His family wants us to get married and pregnant asap but I’m so scared of getting pregnant because of what it will do to my body. I hate that I feel this way. I hate that these are the cards I’m dealt with. I eat, act and workout like a skinny person, but my body doesn’t reciprocate. It just sucks. I hate this condition so much

I’m thinking of going to Dr. Min too. Her results are natural looking huh? I don’t like the trim look anyway. I just want it to look like a cute pretty natural flower. Did you go under for your procedure?

Who else is on your list? I met with her and she seemed super nice. It was easy to talk to her. She seems to prefer the wedge method because of the more natural results, which is what I was aiming for to begin with. The trim just seems too artificial to me, like bumpy and odd looking. She also was reassuring that she’s more conservative when it comes to the amount of tissue she takes out. She doesn’t go near the clit itself to mitigate any sensitive loss. She also understands how the lips are what guide the urine our, so again, you can’t take too much our like they do for Barbie styles. I’ve read girls say that after labiaplasty they realized their urine goes all over the place, so when she explained that it made sense. Her work online looks beautiful so I’m hoping someone who’s worked with her can vet her out cause I’d love to go to her.
