I have included my stories as well as my before and after photos.    My goal is to help others prepare for their cosmetic procedures through my own experiences and also with the help of other patients on our message boards.  If you would like to read more about me and the procedures I've had, please see the About Me page.

The reason the site is named, Yes They're Fake, is originally because of my breast augmentation and was a "screen name" given to me as a joke.  I had a small personal website and once I started researching more procedures due to requests by others, the website grew from there.  That's it!  No mystery, no major saga.  I do want to say that it does not mean if you have plastic surgery you are considered fake, nor are the photos or stories shared on this website fake.  These are real people with real feelings just like you!  No one should be looked badly upon for seeking out cosmetic plastic surgery.  No one.  As I always say, live and let live; you don't have to agree, but you should be able to respect that others want to improve their physical well-being.  Now that that is cleared up...

I have included information on mini-procedures such as microdermabrasion, micropigmentation (permanent make up), non-ablative lasers, mild chemical peels, etc. as they are non-invasive and milder than going under the knife.  Perhaps something minor is all you need to reach your goal.  I also have included information on skin care, cosmetics, hair care, nail care, exercise and more!  As surgery is not always the answer to the more common complaints.  I have given my honest thoughts where applicable, and although I am attempting to offer you an unbiased view, I will not say something isn't dangerous or isn't a waste of money if, in fact, it is.   Every procedure may not work for every person, but there are usually a few options for each person to help them obtain their goals. 

I also want you to know that the information on this site will always be free because pre-operative (and post-operative) patients are already faced with a multitude of expenses, decisions and obstacles.  Why add any additional stress?  At YTF, you'll never be charged for "Procedure Information Packets" or for memberships to our patient support forums, chat rooms, photo galleries or other online information. You should know as much as you possibly can before undergoing any type of surgery because preparedness is a powerful thing.  Here, we tell it like it is and we're happy to do so.

Bottom line?  I just want everyone to walk away as informed as they can be and get an idea of what may be in store for them should they choose to undergo a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.  I know I wish I had found a site like this before my aesthetic pursuits.  I am not claiming to know everything, just a little about a few things.  Be aware that the technology behind this gazillion dollar industry is endless and changes by the second.  If you have any information regarding new procedures or products, please E-mail and enlighten me!
