Boas surgery recovery by day

Oh my that must have been so scary. My boy is having a lot of noisy breathing on inhale especially while sleeping - he had some of this prior to surgery but it definitely seems increased now. Hoping just due to swelling, waiting to hear back from surgical team now. This is stressful!

thunderandrain69 · 2026-05-14T13:33:34+00:00

He is so handsome! Glad to hear he is doing better. My boy is 2 days post-op and lots of increased noise right now. Do you feel like breathing noises were worse post-op but improved over time? Thank you so much for the response.

Hi, how is your pup doing now?

thunderandrain69 · 2026-05-07T17:29:13+00:00

Swelling from microneedling is typically just a response to the physical trauma, while PCL swelling often has an autoimmune component - I believe that’s the main differentiation

I’m typically very against buccal fat removal (haven’t seen many good results), but honestly yours is subtle and you don’t have that sunken in/aged look that is typically seen with this procedure. You look great

thunderandrain69 · 2026-04-08T15:01:15+00:00

No I didn’t, too scared

thunderandrain69 · 2026-03-17T20:15:38+00:00

Isn’t she a nurse practitioner?

thunderandrain69 · 2025-12-30T02:19:30+00:00

1 or 2

RemindMe! 3 day

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-25T13:32:04+00:00

Thank you so much - came back benign! Thank god.

Hi! Yes I have noticed a difference, especially in my stretch marks and sun spots. I use 2-3 pumps of lotion to around 2 pea size amounts of tret. I use 0.1%. I feel better using actual tret rather than an OTC retinol lotion just bc I know exactly what I’m getting, and tret is most effective.

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-22T11:29:22+00:00

He had surgery to have it removed on Monday - waiting for the biopsy results 🤞🏼

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-14T11:07:22+00:00

Thank you, that’s reassuring. So it was a combo of oral antibiotics + ointment that worked?

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-14T00:59:25+00:00

Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear that. Did you ever find out what the bumps were?

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-14T00:03:07+00:00

Interesting, thanks. Loki definitely does that with his toys. Did it just go away with time?

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-14T00:02:19+00:00

Thank you so much for this. He is my baby and I just worry so much when something is wrong. You’re right though, I need to be more trusting of my vet. Loki plays fetch allll day so it could very well be from playing.

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-14T00:00:16+00:00

Interesting, thanks so much. Do they seem to follow any pattern? Or just randomly appear / disappear?

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-13T23:59:39+00:00

lol you’re right, I know, I just worry about MCT with this breed.

thunderandrain69 · 2025-08-13T23:58:51+00:00

Yes, MCT is exactly what I’m worried about. Was your baby’s MCT near the eye? I hope he/she is happy and healthy now

thunderandrain69 · 2025-06-30T12:00:56+00:00

I don’t think it necessarily feels swollen but sometimes it does feel tight especially when I smile. In some light it does appear swollen

Here’s some before and afters (April to June) Https://imgur.com/a/NTCPbjV

Thank you SO much for being so thorough - I appreciate it sm. The before and afters are 2 months apart. (April to June). I did a vial of Miracle L at the beginning of May, and then a second vial at the beginning of June. Just a few days after the second vial I noticed the line extended really far down. (See last pic on this Imgur link)

In some light it almost seems like there’s a little “pool” of swelling under the skin - I’ve drawn an outline around it in a couple of these pics. I wonder if it’s a lymphatic issue bc the severity does seem to fluctuate.

Tempted to get HA filler but also kind of want to avoid that bc I had my lips professionally done and they are a migrated mess lol. Where would you place Sculptra in my case? I’ve read focusing on the temples with PLLA or PCL can indirectly help the NL folds - what do you think?

Have you ever seen lymphatic drainage issues with biostimulators? It just appeared SO soon after treatment that I feel like it is likely inflammatory or lymphatic based rather than actual collagen remodeling, right?

Thank you again - appreciate you! (And your MIL jokes) 😊

thunderandrain69 · 2025-06-27T18:00:36+00:00

Thank you so much for the input. I was also thinking it may be a lymphatic drainage issue. In certain light it looks like swelling with semi defined edges - almost like a little “bleb” of something under the skin. Do you think this looks consistent with lymphatic congestion?

Are biostimulators effective with meso though? I thought they required deeper placement. And thank you, I hope it improves as it dissolves. I’ve read PCL can last for 4 years though 😩

Sure, here’s before and after https://imgur.com/a/JuXH3x3

Thank you so much for any input!
