Breast Reduction
Breast ReductionWill you be able to help me with breast reduction due to neck and back pain?
No thigh gap after Lipo?
LiposuctionI had liposuction today on my hips, thighs, knees, calves, and ankles. I specifically asked for a noticeable thigh gap. With the compression stockings on, I do have a small thigh gap, but when I took them off briefly to go to the bathroom, my inner thighs looked the same as before—no thigh gap at all! My calves already seem a bit slimmer, but I can’t help feeling a little worried.
What is wrong with my eyes and what is the solution?
Eyelid SurgeryI am only 29 and yet my eyes tell a whole other story and always has even when I was in my teens. I'm especially concerned with how my undereye looks when I smile or laugh, as you can see in one of the images, but I can't say i'm a fan of how droopy and 'saggy' my upper eye is either. What can be done here? I'm interested in anything but fillers.

Lump on forehead
Wound CareIn late October I tripped at the bottom of the stairs and hit my head on a doorjam. At first there was a large bump the size of the golf ball. I suspect it was a hematoma. Several days later I developed racoon eyes. Now 4 months later the lump is the size of a penny. I have had a CT scan which was negative for any skull fracture damage, but I want to know what options I have to remove it

Recovery Hack for Breast Surgery
Thursday, March 6, 2025"So, one recovery hack that's great for dog lovers who are having breast surgery is there are leashes that actually will go around your waist rather than being held in your arm. This is excellent, particularly for breast surgery patients because, in those early days of recovery, it's not gonna be super comfortable if you have a puppy or a dog that likes to pull when they walk."
