Lower Blepharoplasty mistake?
Eyelid SurgeryI had lower. Blepharoplasty done 11 days ago. The incisions appear to be healing nicely. My question is why do I have these folds of skin down the corners of my eyes? I do have crows feet, but they never looked like this before. Is this normal? The surgery was done by a board certified plastic surgeon with 26 yrs experience.. He said that it will all even out in time. Should I be concerned?

What went wrong
Breast LiftI am 7 weeks post op from breast lift and I have been dealing with a major complication. The 1st picture is from 26 days ago and the 2nd picture is from the other day. The wound has double in size and no one can tell me why. I am seeing a wound specialist but he says just change the dressings every other day. This wound has gotten bigger and it hurts.. I don't know what to do

Procedure
Breast Implant RemovalI want to know if it is always necessary to have the large incisions to remove saline implants. Is it possible to deflate the implant than remove it through an incision around the areola.

toenail matrix and nail bed repair
General Reconstruction'
Needing a bit of advice I just want my skin tightened after the repair and causing pain
PanniculectomyI had c sections back to back in 22 and 23. In total I have had 3 c sections. I developed an umbilical hernia, ventral hernia, and diastasis recti (what my paperwork states) I lost weight and my OB stated that I lost elasticity in my stomach/skin hangs and causes sores and rashes. I am currently on a prescription cream. Can I be covered for a abdominoplasty since I have to have the recti fixed?
