X Post: 2 weeks after lower bleph numero dos! (Pic)
I didn't have wrinkles before my RNY-- I had pretty flawless healthy skin. My RNY and dehydration, etc. cost me whatever looks I did have, and it annoyed the hell out of me, so I sunk a gajillion bucks into straightening it out: I didn't go through all this to look worse. I now look like a thinner version of me pre-op.
The lower bleph cost $2500, but there were also two revisions. It's very hard to replace/fix lost volume.
