Hi, I have two consultations set up in August for Submental Liposuction but in the meantime I'm trying to learn more about this so I am hoping someone can answer my questions. How do you know if it's a fat or muscle issue? I noticed I can see my muscle (platysma?), is that normal? Does that indicate anything? When I pull my skin tight, it makes my jawline look a lot better so does that mean it's fat? Does it seem like chin lipo alone would help or would I need something done with the muscles as well? I feel like I'm at a pretty healthy weight, I get around 7,000-10,000 steps a day and do strength training 3-4 days a week. I've always had this issue, no one in my family has a good jawline. I'm 31 years old

Hi, can someone point me in the right direction of how to make a tincture from my mullein plants? I grew some from seed (started them indoors), this is their second year and I think they are going to flower soon

Hi, I am 31 and I've always had a bad jawline my entire life. I'm wondering if any procedures could help me, such as a deep neck lift or lipo? I could lose 10-12 pounds, but I really don't think it'll help my jaw since I've always been this way and I workout/get exercise every day. Obviously I know I need to get some consultations, but I'm having a hard time finding good surgeons in my area. Any reputable people in MI, IL, OH, WI, or MN? Basically anywhere in the Midwest? I have a virtual consultation in September with a surgeon in Utah but I'd like to meet with some closer to me. Not interested in fillers, etc. I've already been down that route. Thank you!!

Hi. This is my left arm, non dominant arm. I went for a long bike ride one day in April just on pavement, nothing crazy except some hills. I noticed my left wrist felt a little weird during it but didn't think anything of it. Shortly after that, my arm started hurting in these two spots when I lifted heavy things like my water bottle. I'm in physical therapy for lower back pain so I mentioned it and my PT told me to just rub the spots because it sounded like golfers or tennis elbow. Rubbing the spot near my elbow is okay, but the lower spot hurts too much and doesn't feel right to be rubbing that hard. My arm hurts A LOT while I'm sleeping. I even slept with it wrapped in a towel one night to limit bending, but I still woke up in pain. It hurts to twist my arm both ways. I work from home at a desk but honestly I take enough breaks throughout the day that I'm not sure it's the cause. Any advice or exercises I can try?

Hi! So my fiv&felv boy was 9 pounds when I got him at the end of January, he was 12 at our last vet visit and they said he was a good weight. He was found as a stray, so he definitely had major food insecurity when we first got him. It's gotten so much better thankfully. We went on vacation for a week and left him with my in laws, and he looks SO fat to me now lol. I weighed him and he's 13 pounds. I'm not sure if my in laws way overfed him or if it's just catching up to him now. He's acting completely normal, I don't think it's anything serious. How do you help them lose weight when they are a little food insecure? Until recently he would get some dry food through his automatic feeder 4 time a day (the lowest portion, it was like a tablespoon of food each time) plus 1 or 2 cans of wet food a day depending on the calories. This past week I tried leaving out a bunch of dry food just to see how he'd react and I cut way back on soft food. I don't think unlimited dry food is in his best interest because he's looking real plump lol. Any advice? I can't really afford to only feed wet food unfortunately but it was the main part of his diet for awhile. He does go outside in our yard every day (supervised) so he is getting a lot of exercise

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question. What are my options for a more defined jawline? I am trying to lose 10-15 pounds and have already lost 3. I've had a double chin and weak jawline my whole life, even when I was in great shape. It definitely runs in my family. When I pull my skin, it looks so good lol. Does that mean it could be more than just excess fat causing the problem? Also, does anyone know of any good surgeons in Michigan? I'm really new to this, but just looking for some advice before I go in for a consultation. Thanks!

My squirrel Lilac was getting a little too comfortable. She found where I kept the nuts in my garage and would go in there trying to open the container. I also found out a neighbor two doors down has been feeding her for a year, which explains why she's so friendly. I don't want to encourage her behavior anymore. I'd hate for someone to try to hurt her for being too nosy. She would also run up to me anytime I came outside, and I can't imagine how bad I'd feel if my dogs or cat killed her. I went on vacation for a week, so it was the perfect chance for her to get the memo. I haven't seen her since I've been back. Here's some photos of her stalking me lol. It was a cool experience, but I do feel kind of guilty for feeding her these last few months
