Between that and genetics, I had a prominent nose with a bump.
I don’t think I would have cared otherwise.
At 20, I relented and had one done."
“I had an upper blepharoplasty.
The doctor cut too much skin on my right upper eyelid, which made it very asymmetrical.
I also can’t kill the other eye fully.
The procedure went too long, and so I ended up scarring.
It has been five years since then, and it’s not normal to have noticeable scars.”
“He also removed too much fat, which made my eyes look hollower.
I’m also scared of not being able to close both of my eyes if I do so.”

One ear was stretched down and sewn onto my neck; it had to be cut loose later.
I look awful when I venture to smile.

“I got Aqua Lipo which was supposed to be gentler than traditional liposuction.
I had it done on my stomach, arm area, thighs, and back.
This was about 10 years ago, and my arms still have permanent nerve issues.
Anything touches the area that was worked on and it feels raw and tender, nearly a decade later.
“I got top surgery because I’m female-to-male.
That was a mistake.
Huge mistake number two.
I got the worst of every option.
I’m pursuing legal action for medical assault, which is not what my post-op recovery needed.
Get a good surgeon, especially if you’re pursuing gender-affirming care.
I don’t regret getting top surgery, but I definitely regret getting it the fast way.”
“I had lip fillers once, just a very small amount.
I rang the office first thing.
They had me come in and told me that I had herpes, and that was the issue.
Except…I dont have herpes.”
“I had a breast augmentation in 1982, then had the implants removed in 1994.
That’s when things went wrong.
I lost most of the breast tissue and the nipple on my right breast.
They are just two large sacs of saggy tissue on my chest that dont even resemble breasts anymore.”
“My right breast still has no nipple, and most of the areola is now lost.
I regret the day I ever tampered with my body.
I have spent almost thirty years regretting my previous choices.
“My double jaw surgery has both positives and negatives.
Im considering getting filler to have a go at get it back.”
“I had a fat transfer from my thighs to fill in the hollow parts under my eyes.
I even told the doctor that I dont retain fat well, but he still recommended it.
As soon as I came out of surgery, I hated them.
They felt alien, intrusive, and too big.
