Looking for Doctors That Perform Surgery to Enhance Exotic Features?

DueDiligence518Feb 28, 2013
I'm interested in a procedure (mini life or eye lift) to give me tighter skin and a more exotic look. I'm 32 years old and I went 2 consults where the doctors basically told me I was too young for anything other than fillers. But, I'm not trying to reverse age, this would be to make me look more exotic... tighter skin, almond eyes, etc.... I feel as though most doctors are only willing to fix problems, are there not surgeons out there who perform surgery to enhance a desired feature as well?

Thank you for your question. It is normal to have swelling, bruising, and lumpiness after your face lift surgery, this will go down within 2-3 months as you are still in the healing stage. I would still advise you to follow up with your surgeon.

There are two possibilities at UCSF I can think of that may offer a facelift by a resident at a discounted price.  You could try contacting the Department of Plastic Surgery and also the Department of Head and Neck Surgery, which has a facial plastic surgery division.  The phone # for...

The good news is that this is probably normal and will resolve with time. The linear ridge of swelling can be caused by the drain, serum (seroma), blood (hematoma) or an edema ridge as fluids run downhill especially if your chin was in a down position during the early healing process which traps...
