Hi, I'm an asian female and I have really protrusive eyes (I guess caused by a shallow orbit and not much brow bone protrusion). My eyelids protrude past my brow bones. In overhead lighting, my eyelids are illuminated and I look really really awful. This is in contrast to deeper set eyes where the brow bone would create a shadow.
I know a nose job could probably disguise this from the side however this wouldn't change my front on issue.
I've read a little into orbital decompression but it doesn't seem super common and maybe a bit over the top for my eyes. I guess I want to know if there is anything else that can be done, like implants to create a brow bone or if blepharoplasty could work (although I feel like my eyes are too protrusive for that to work). Looking for any sort of discussion or recommendations!
A sort of out there approach I'm thinking is trying Bimatoprost aka Latisse which can cause periorbital fat loss and sunken eyes as a side effect and hoping I get lucky. Don't want to get my hopes up though, seems like a long shot.
I have an issue with my upper lip/mouth sticking out. I believe it is due to the forwardness of my upper incisors/inclination. Attached are some x-rays and photos. I'd like my upper lip to be flush with the rest of my face....not sticking out...
And is there a reason for the change in size through each generation?

"Deathworlder, can I ask you a question?"
"Please, call me "Hugh" - as for your request, well, you are clearly able to do so."
"Death- er.. Hugh. Can I ask you another?"
"Ob (pauses) viously."
"Ah, yes, quite. Look, can we sit down to talk, I want to see if I've understood things correctly."
"What things, exactly?"
"Let's sit down, and we'll get to it. Drink?"
"Ah, why not. I'm going to guess you still haven't mastered the PGGB, so I'll go for a Manhattan. Two measures of whisky, one measure of sweet vermouth, two dashes of bitters (one each of Ango and Peychaud's for preference), and a Maraschino cherry."
"Are you sure you should have that much ... actually, you know what? Nevermind. What I wanted to ask you is, is it really true that people of your world - other deathworlders - are so naturally savage that they need to go through training in order to treat others decently? You seem perfectly nice, if a bit literal at times."
"What are you on about, mate?"
"Well, it is more or less universally known that Deathworlders ..." "Humans, bud, humans." "...ah, right. Humans. Anyway, it's more or less universally known that neonates are expected to drain their maternal progenitor of sanguine fluids."
"What? Gimme a mo... WHAT? NO! Newborn babies are not expected to murder their mothers by drinking their blood. Nor, for that matter, are anyone else. I mean, we have horror stories about vampires - who famously, err, that is, in the stories, do so - but they are just that. Stories. Entertainment. Fiction."
"Why, then, are the neonates offered their maternal progenitors frontal thoracic protrusions? Eh?"
"Frontal thoracic pro... OH! You mean tits! Breasts! Mammaries! Well, see..."
<some time later>
"...in conclusion, I think you might safely assume that anything you know about Earth in general, and humanity in particular, to be, if not entirely wrong, then at the very least very badly misunderstood."
"And the training to treat others decently?"
"Ah, right. Yeah, that would be "sensitivity training". It's something stupid people in "Human Resources" departments that care more about the resource than the human do in order to stop people from harassing others."
"...and does it work?"
"Absolutely - and I cannot stress this enough - not. Not even a little. Not at all. It usually means you have twice as much work to do the next day, however - and not even a danish to show for it."
"Well thank you mister Hugh."
"Ah, no, not mister Hugh. If

So I just found this reddit last week.... I'm 3 weeks post-op with Elist. I have a noticeable protrusion on the right side of my penis, about 1-1.5cm from the head. My understanding from here is that this is kinda common and usually resolves with the Urowrap and the encapsulation process. Is that correct?
Hello guys,
I pulled my back working out and it's been almost 1 year, I went to a chiro and what worked to ease the pain was PT exercises, but lately I've been having more pain where my left leg feels numb and gave out on two instances when i went to sit down. Wanted to know what you guys think, could this be fixed without a surgery?
Here's what the MRI described:
There is disc desiccation at L4-L5.
L4-L5: There is a left paracentral/foraminal disc protrusion which measures 9.1 mm craniocaudally, 5.3 mm anteroposteriorly and 14.5 mm mediolaterally. There is no central canal stenosis or exiting L4 nerve root impingement. However, there is compression of the traversing left L5 root. Facet arthropathy is mild to moderate.
SUMMARY: A disc protrusion at L4-L5 results in compression of the traversing left L5 root.
I was also watching a youtube video where they were indicating that disc protrusion has a 40% recovery rate as compared to herniated disc.
I hardly see any questions in this Subreddit asking about the external/cosmetic impacts of a head injury, which is why I am writing this post.
When I got hit on my forehead two months ago, the area injured got raised and I thought ice packs would bring it down, and it did to a degree the next day, but after that, the bulge has stayed at that size since then.
My neurologist prescribed me a medicine to help with swelling, but no improvement so far. How can I treat this? Is there any hope? I don't want it to look like that permanently.
Edit: There is also a dent beside it.
