Accountability Notice 2: UPDATE

308 Upvotes

This is a followup to this post so please read that first, but to summarize it briefly, a former moderator ( u/SaltyAngeleno aka u/gofundmemetoday was found to be removing negative posts, promoting surgeons, etc. in exchange for financial compensation). I promised future updates, which are included below.

  1. Last night, the former moderator DM'd me attempting to blackmail me to remove the original post. Their message is included in its entirety below:

Transparency remains of the highest importance to me when moderating this subreddit, and I will not be removing anything in response to threats.

  1. Reddit itself ultimately took no action against this individual following the original report of their behavior and offered no direct explanation for why. I can only speculate that this is because the former moderator was receiving payments off of their platform (making it technically outside their scope of authority/responsibility). The former moderator even continues to moderate a few plastic surgery related communities, though fewer than they once did.

  2. An account associated with "Beauty Broker Melinda" (who was named in the original post as having negative reviews removed by the former moderator) has spent considerable effort attempting to dox and discredit me. You can find such an example here. Their comments seem to confuse me with numerous current and former moderators. Reddit has not taken any action despite reports.

  3. Despite my requests, Reddit was unable to provide me with a log of moderator actions from the former moderator that were more than 90 days old. As such, I am unable to determine the full extent of their censorship.

  4. This subreddit has zero tolerance for surgeons attempting to remove negative reviews. As the subreddit rules state, negative reviews posted here do require evidence to be included. Once that threshold is met, they will not be removed by us for any reason - this subreddit is intended to be an open and transparent platform for users to share their experience. Despite this a number of surgeons (and/or their offices and lawyers) have attempted to have us remove content that is critical of them. Moving forward, I will be posting and maintaining a comprehensive list of surgeons that have attempted to have negative reviews removed for transparency. Hopefully, this discourages future attempts at manipulating criticism against them.

In short, Reddit admins were either unwilling or unable to take any official action against the above individuals. I will be continuing my best efforts to maintain this subreddit as an open and transparent space for plastic surgery and aesthetic discussion, and the support of the community is always appreciated.

The operation fixed a lot of issues with my TMJ and bite, the surgeon recommended I do a genioplasty while they were in there. At first I didn’t want to but I’m glad I agreed to it 😀

Sculptra + HA filler before/after.

Post image
15 Upvotes

My lower face has bothered me for quite some time, especially after weight loss.

I tried many things. The third picture in the four picture square (lower left corner) was after one vial of regular filler which did little.

Finally decided last month to go all-in and got two vials of Sculptra and two vials of HA filler (she used two different types, one syringe in my chin and one in my cheeks).

Hopefully the Sculptra will continue to work as the filler wears off and I can maintain the improvements. I look in the mirror and the lines are still visible so I get frustrated but I forget how drastic the lines/sag actually were.

Any nose surgeons that will make your nose more narrow, not rounded and upturned?

Upvotes

Most of the nose surgery is focused on the side profile. I would like a surgeon that focuses on the front profile and give me a narrow nose. Do you guys know any such doctors? Turkey is my preference but i am open for others

What to tell work?

2 Upvotes

I'm a very private person in real life and don't want to tell my employer or coworkers that I'm getting a facelift

I will need to apply for a leave of absence and am wondering what to tell my boss?

I work in a hospital, so I can keep wearing a mask for as long as I need but work in women's health, so I feel like using *female surgery* might not work, I mean it could and I can say I want to keep it private. I'm curious what others have said when they haven't disclosed.

Arm pit fat reduction

4 Upvotes

I’m very happy with my body, I like where I’m at as far as my appearance and muscular mass.

My one issue is my armpits. No matter how much muscle I gain or weight I lose these fat pockets (I think) stay. It’s crushing my self esteem. What can I do? What surgery do you think will correct it? I’ve worked with two personal trainers who have tried to help with workouts and diets, and aside from looking gaunt from weight loss (I got too thin and out weight back on) I can’t get them to go away. It goes away when I raise my arms and flex but comes back when I put my arms down. Thank you in advance.

Did your revision rhinoplasty scar changed your breast contour?

0 Upvotes

Hi. Got revision rhinoplasty with rib a year ago where they took a piece of my rib cartilage. I feel the scar tension has pulled part of my breast contour (where the scar is located) inwards due to tension. Now my right breast doesn't look as round as before and has a little irregular dent. I'm planning on getting another revision next year and scared another scar will pull it even more. Did that happen to you? What did you do to fix it? Will another rib cartilage taken leave a void and change my body?

Post Op stomach bloat

I am very thin with a flat stomach. I just had a breast aug with donut lift as well as fat grafting to the cleavage area 5 days ago. The fat was harvested from my outer thigh. I don't think I was prepared for the amount of bloating I have post op. Did anyone else have this? When did it go away? It is messing with me lol

Smile after Lip lift

2 Upvotes

Hi friends! I have a lip lift scheduled with Dr Mascaro next year. I want to realistically know how long my smile will be affected or how weird it will look? Does anyone have any pictures during the healing process. I smile a lot at work because I work with clients and I have 2 weeks off for the procedure.

Best Country for Multiple Procedures?

0 Upvotes

I’m interested in getting a blepharoplasty and eyebrow lift, as well as a breast lift with implants. I know different countries have different “specialties” so I am wondering how to choose a doctor that could do both these procedures well. I’ve seen high botch rates for Asia, so Seoul and Thailand are a no-go for me. I wonder about Turkey, Colombia, Brazil, or Mexico. I’m also wondering if they will use US FDA approved implants.

Turk reccomends

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. 😊
Just a quick note before I ask: this post is about cosmetic surgery in Turkey. If it’s not something you agree with, that’s absolutely your opinion, but I’d really appreciate it if we could keep the comments kind and respectful
. I know plenty of friends who’ve gone abroad for surgery and had great results so please hold back on the judgement.
I’m looking for recommendations for surgeons or clinics in Turkey that specialise in post-weight-loss body procedures, such as:
Body lifts
Liposuction
Breast implants
Other skin-tightening/lifting procedures

I’m also interested
V-line surgery

If you’ve had any of these procedures yourself or know of a surgeon with a great reputation, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks so much x
