i cant believe i am even posting this, my weak chin and jaw has always been my biggest insecurity. im poor but ill go into debt to fix it i do not care. please recommend specific procedures, im going to book a consultation today

Sharing this because sometimes we see amazing outcomes and sometimes we see botched outcomes. Please be aware that sometimes you can just end up with 'oh, I shouldn't have bothered'.

I had lower bleph 12 months ago and the result was barely noticeable. My consultant said he had been conservative with how much skin he removed so at the 6 month mark I had a revision where more skin was removed. 6 months after that (so 12 months in total) I still see a visible bag, although I can see that the skin is less wrinkly. In some lights it looks ok, in other lights it still looks awful.

I have been advised that the issue is that I actually needed a fat graft rather than just a revision where more skin removed, so it wasn't an effective revision.

It wasn't an easy 12 months - feelings of being disappointed and embarrassed, and the stress of having a second operation. More time off work. More time out of gym. And overall when I take into account the costs and energy involved, I just don't think it was worth it.

So, manage your expectations! I am grateful it isn't botched, but overall it's just very disappointing.

Hi, 8 days post op yesterday my surgeon had to aspirate 1 and a half of big syringe of seroma off my arm. This is what it looks like now, is this normal? Panicking cuz there’s no way i can wear sleeves if my arm looks like this. 🥲

I got 360 thigh lipo almost 3 weeks ago, and my hunger has been insane the past 1.5-2 weeks. Anyone else experience this, and how long did it last? The first week I literally had to force myself to eat and now it feels like I never ate anything even when I’ve had whole meals lol.

I feel like I’ve been healing well and feel so much better than before, and I’m trying to not worry so much about gaining weight but I can’t help it 😭

The hunger plus disruption to my daily routine of exercising and such has been hard. Hoping things go back to normal soon.

I am naturally born with both double eyelids but the level of crease is too high. I want a reduction or fully get rid of the double eyelids since my eyes seems really too be as an east asian. Can it be done?

I had double eyelid surgery with fat grating yesterday. I was told to walk to help with swelling. I ended up walking over 13,000 steps today (sight seeing in Korea!). I’m now reading that too much walking can impact the survival of fat.

Does anyone have any insight? I’m here for another week and was planning on doing a lot of exploring, but will take it easy if I need to

Thanks in advance!

Going to Miami specifically Smart Plastic surgery in Miami with Dr.Pitman TT and back lipo. Anyone ever use Dr. Pittman? I’m in a Facebook group but I want to make sure I get all experiences that I can. Also I don’t know what to do about recovery they say I have to stay out there at least 5 to 7 days afterwards (I live 1 state over) i’m not sure if I want to get a recovery house so what are other options?

Hi! For those who gained weight after rhinoplasty and felt that their nose looked smaller or less prominent.

When you eventually lost weight, did your nose start to look more prominent again?

My nose is 4 yo but I gained weight. My intrusive thought is to get a revision (I know i know) but I’m just convincing myself that I just need to diet!! 😭🤧

Hi all, has anyone of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern/South Asian descent here had a rhinoplasty done in Melbourne? I'd love to know if there are any surgeons that are preferred, or should be avoided, for this procedure. Ideally I'd achieve a noticeable difference without looking like a different ethnicity. Thanks :)

I have very flat cheeks and want to have more fuller youthfull look on my upper mid face. I have been experimenting with ai and i like how my face looks with fuller cheeks. Is this achieveable with cheekfillers? If yes what should i ask to injector?

I am sharing my personal experience with Ukrainian plastic surgeon Volodymyr Sazhiyenko, full name Volodymyr Viacheslavovych Sazhiyenko. His name is also written as Володимир В’ячеславович Сажієнко in Ukrainian and Владимир Вячеславович Сажиенко in Russian.

My plastic surgery was scheduled for 3 September 2026 with Dr. Sazhiyenko at Face Up Clinic in Ukraine.

I paid UAH 2,500 for the consultation. I was then asked to transfer 30% of the surgery price to reserve the date. I transferred UAH 105,000 using the payment details provided to me.

I was not given or asked to sign a written agreement explaining the cancellation policy, refund conditions, or stating that the entire payment was a non-refundable fee for reserving the surgeon’s time.
Approximately one week before the procedure, I repeatedly requested the list of required pre-operative tests. I received it shortly before the weekend, although I was due to fly on Monday.

An ECG result led me to consult a cardiologist. Following that consultation, I was advised not to proceed with general anaesthesia or surgery until further cardiac investigations had been completed.

I informed Dr. Volodymyr Sazhiyenko and requested the return of my UAH 105,000 payment. He replied:
“No one took a deposit from you. You paid for services related to reserving my time. Please send the cardiologist’s report.”

I sent the medical report immediately and repeated my refund request. I received no further response from the surgeon.
After I contacted Face Up Clinic, I received the following message:
“Dr. Sazhiyenko’s lawyer will contact you.”

As of 1 September 2026, the UAH 105,000 has not been returned. I have retained the payment confirmation, correspondence, medical report, and the clinic’s response. If the money is returned or the situation otherwise changes, I will update this post publicly.

I am describing only what happened to me and am not making claims about other patients or Dr. Sazhiyenko’s surgical abilities.

Has anyone had a similar experience with Volodymyr Sazhiyenko / Vladimir Sazhiyenko / Sazhienko, Face Up Clinic, or a non-refundable surgery booking payment in Ukraine?

Edit: removed personal info

How bad are the first few days of recovery? I know there will be pain and soreness. My partner will be off work for the first couple days to support me.

So, how would you describe the after surgery?

I have an appointment to see a dermatologist in 2 weeks for this skin issue under my chin. Until then I was wondering what my options could be. I’m only 32 and I believe it’s from looking at the cell phone so much. I just noticed it a couple weeks ago. I have lost weight too. But only 6 pounds.

I really don’t like my eye area, I’ve been looking into canthoplasty/pexy or infraorbital implants but I’d like more thoughts. Thanks

Let's say you weren't happy cosmetically.

1. What type of surgery was it?
2. How did you ask?
3. How did your surgeon respond?
4. How much did you have to pay again if you went with your original surgeon?
5. What city does your surgeon operate in?
6. Any tips on approaching revision to a surgeon, when most have super large egos tied to their work?

Can someone recommend a surgeon who specialises in breasts? I'd need: breast lift with a fat graft and a mesh bra. Thanks a lot ♥️

I don't care about the price or where it would be, just the results

Do you think it looks like an improvement? Does it look natural and balanced? Anything you particularly like or think could have been done differently?
Please be honest — I can take it 😅

Hoping to get some insight from anyone with experience, as I'm pretty frustrated and anxious right now.

Earlier today I received liposuction to my lower back and saddlebags. When I'd spoken to the clinic prior to the procedure I'd asked if I would be receiving a compression garment that would cover both areas and was told yes, but after waking up was only fitted with a girdle with nothing for my thighs. Everything I've seen has said compression is really important especially early on; should I be trying to get a garment for that area ASAP? Is this going to cause issues with healing? Is there something specific I should be buying?

Really appreciate any information or thoughts from anyone, this is my first surgery of any kind and I'm pretty stressed out. I'd call the clinic to ask but they were closed by the time I got home from the procedure, and I'm now wary about if I'm get the right info or not. They're a well known and well regarded clinic in my state, so this has kind of blindsided me.
