Cosmetic surgery/procedures - have you/would you?

[chichi100]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing. Do you need to get it polished every so often?

Just the usual yearly hygienist appointment to give them a clean should be enough

What exactly is the difference between Botox and fillers?

Botox paralysis the muscle where with filler it’s injecting into the skin to plump it out if that makes sense

 

[The Devils Arse]

So I’m booked in for my first ever Botox session tomorrow and filler for my marionette lines and nasolabial folds! Excited but nervous! Had a consultation and she said the marionette and nasolabial filler was the first thing she ever had done and it took years off her! Just cringing at the thought of needles in my face

Just take lots of deep breaths and try not to think about the needles, just the end result! It honestly only feels like a scratch and only lasts seconds.

Let us know how you get on! X

What minor and expensive surgery procedure can I do to tighten up a jaw line? I am in my late 30s, only one side appears to have a slackness, mini jowel and its the side I have no teeth. And although I've shed a couple of stone, it has really aged me in the face, so I am interested in something which doesn't alter my appearance too dramatically, just more to rejuvenate. Would tear trough filler be any good for this?

@Iced Coffee I'm pondering a face lift and nose-job - can both procedures happen same-time so as to only go under general anaesthetic once?

Yes! You can get both procedures done at once. Just be sure to find a surgeon you can trust since the process will require a bit more finesse.

I've always wondered this too, would love to be put under and have my nose done plus my eyes lasered at the same time. Feel like waking up with perfect sight might detract a bit from the pain of the nose job

LASIK would need to be performed by an eye doctor and not a plastic surgeon, as far as I'm aware. So these two procedures would most likely have to be done separately.

I haven't had them done yet, im booked in for about three weeks time! I've toyed with the idea for ages too but decided to go for it. Will update here after ive had the appt if you like

Ohh I see! Yes please do let me know how it goes I'd love to hear all about it as it's something I've thought about for a while too.

 

[Ohflogoff]

If I wasn’t such a wuss I’d like a breast uplift. But I am chicken shit so will never do it.
I have Botox and a little bit of filler.

I’d like my eyes lasered if that counts?

 

[Gembo]

I have a breast reduction/lift consultation next week and I’m also seriously considering getting my nose done but trying to focus on one thing at a time. I had 2 consultations for Botox in October and almost went ahead but I didn’t have a great gut feeling about either person so I’m still on the hunt but I know I will definitely have botox, not so sure about fillers though.

I am 74 and think I am 54 and have what I call a "creapy face" of a 90 year old - it runs in the family. What can I do about it other than having a face lift - a bit scared about that but is there another procedure I could try /

 

[Shoequeen91]

Never had one but not heard great things. Think people find it hard to drink afterwards.

There’s always a surgical lip lift, heightens your top lip.

Thanks you, I hadn’t heard about the drinking thing so that’s interesting to know.

I’ll look into the surgical lip lift, that’s a new on to me too.

 

[Kim Mild]

I hate my eyelids , one more so than the other as it's droopy and makes my eye look small and it's a different shape from the other. I'd probably consider that plasma thing cos it's less invasive

 

[Mooordgirl]

My biggest regret is not going to Turkey for mine. I had Turkey booked and then lockdowns happened and afterwards I think people had made me feel so worried about going to Turkey I decided to go with someone in the UK. People were so against it - literally telling me I’d die or I’d get botched by some Turkish surgeon.

I ended up spending £9k in the UK and Turkey was going to be just under £3. I got majorly botched over here and now I’m currently recovering from a revision a year later. Cast off next week… fingers crossed.

I hope all goes well for you

 

[rebremm99]

I did! I had my first ones when I was 19 and then had them done again at 26 a couple of years ago. I think the second time around you’re more aware of what it’s going to be like, so that makes it a bit more nerve wracking - the first time you don’t know so just go with it!

Thanks for the reply! Yeah that’s exactly it didn’t have a clue what was ahead of me last time so I didn’t care!

 

[JLXRD]

Has anyone here ever done anything for hooded/sagging eyelids? That's the one that really tempts me but unlike fillers, botox, breasts or noses - I can't say I've ever spoken to anyone who has had it addressed.

No but I have considered a brow lift, I feel like that can help with sagging eyelids too

 

[Jadew]

Oh wow amazing!! Are you happy with the results? A few days I could manage but my husband wouldn’t be able to have much time off work so as long as I can be up and about looking after him then it will be fine!

Couldn’t be happier!!! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done and I am in love with my nose!! Good luck

 

[Begborrowsteal]

10000% want a boob reduction and lift. Wanted them done since i was a teen. Also want an eyebrow lift. Would love fuller lips but even with filler, my lip shape wouldnt work well!

 

[JLXRD]

Just that really. Have you had any cosmetic surgery or injectables/ non invasive cosmetic stuff? If not, would you?

I’ve never had cosmetic surgery myself but I’m not against the idea of getting some Botox or fillers when I’m older. I have also thought about getting a breast reduction one day.

I also find things like the injections Gemma Collins had to dissolve her chin fat kind of interesting - anyone had anything like that?

 

[Veilside]

I found out from Google! My initial surgeon never contacted me about them. I’d have been none the wiser otherwise. Yeah the cost is crazy and around the same as my original surgery (I had implants and an uplift before). I need to bite the bullet and get it booked in but I’m scared of the general anaesthetic this time around cos I’ve got a son now and my risk appetite has gone right down! I’ve saved the money to get it done so will do this year hopefully but I’m waiting for work to calm down a bit first and maybe summer hols so I don’t have to stress about school run etc.

Ahh I see, it was summer hols when I first had them done, kids were 1,3 and 10 so much easier during the holidays. This time they are 13, 15 and 22. Even though they are older it’s still as hard, ideally I wanted them done start of the Easter Hols but my surgeons earliest date was 17th. I was a lot more nervous this time as I remember how uncomfortable the recovery was last time, mine were under the muscle so very little arm movement. All I have this time is tightness, no pain at all and full arm movement. Feels strange going from DD’s to what looks like a small C cup possibly large B once swelling has gone down. Hope all goes well for you when you eventually get them done.x

 

[grumpy-nosy-cow]

Oh that’s interesting! Did you go through your GP for that or through somewhere cosmetic?

ive got Bupa through my work..the mole kept itching and it was driving me mad. as my GP wasnt doing appts unless for emergencies due to pandemic i went straight throught them. I dont think they classed it as cosmetic as i have a family history of skin cancer but the consultant was keen to reduce scarring as it was facial. He is a Mohs surgery (skin cancer) specialist which is why i chose him (just in case my mole was).
i have much less scarring from this removal than one removed from my upper arm about 8 years ago.

Had lip fillers a few time and loved them. My lips aren’t thin anyway but not plump either and I had 1ml which wasn’t obvious, no one even noticed except people I told about it.

Now want them redone as haven’t had it for over 18 months and also want my smile lines done as they’re starting to irritate my lately but haven’t fully looked into it
