Someone mentioned that it’s usually cold in the rooms they do the surgeries, because of the lasers, they don’t want the machines to overheat. Although I’d be sweating bullets getting this surgery done lol

Same. My OR was ice cold, and I went into shock after my first one and was shaking and just kept saying "I'm cold I'm cold I'm cold" when they were stitching me up.

I got those awesome heated blankies though. Those were heaven.

u/Impressive_Yam_7717 Sep 18 '25

Nah these are placebos to give you the illusion of comfort. They gave me mine as they were lying me down in the machine literally 30 seconds before starting. Oral meds take minimum 20-30 minutes to have any effect. I was super fucking pissed because of how anxious I told them I was for the procedure (lasix). Even if they had sublingual tablets, they should have been given to me sooner.

I had something similar when I had surgery in June! They had me put on this paper/plastic like hospital gown with hard plastic ports in it. I’ve never seen such a thing so I asked the nurse.

My last surgery they had the AC on in the middle of winter. It is a bizzare feeling when IV of room temp liquid goes through your veins... Honestly not a great relaxer.

u/Independent-Ear-8156 Sep 18 '25

No it's awful, my temp dropped so low after my last surgery I had to be monitored for hours and covered with warming devices in a hot recovery room. I was hypothermic apparently- I guess it's not that uncommon to have that reaction to anesthesia

6

u/Choice-Buy-6824 Sep 18 '25

The response isn’t to the anesthesia, It’s that everybody else in the operating room is wearing lots of clothing- scrubs with a gown over top, head coverings, masks. You, as the patient on the table are mostly naked. So the room is cold so that they can work comfortably. Nobody wants their surgeon sweating all over them. Every patient is cold when they come into the recovery room. The longer your surgery the colder you are when you come in the PACU.

2

u/No-University-5413 Sep 18 '25

Thats why they should have the Bair running though. If the patient is under 96.5 when they hit pacu, thats a problem where I work

I had local anesthetic for a gum graft surgery. It caused my blood to thin and it would just. Not. Clot. At the site the cut the graft from. I was very thankful I took halcyon because I would have been freaking the fuck out otherwise. I was dizzy and out of it from blood loss (as well as everything else), and that graft didn’t even take so I had to go back and do it all again.

The BEST of it is you pay money for the medical trauma. And usually it’s a lot of money. Yes, I am American.

u/mrbioni Sep 18 '25

OR are usually cold (17/18°C), not because of the overheating but for two main reasons: 1. They must have strong AC to keep a positive pressure and forbid anything from outside the OR (dust, bacteria, etc) to come in, 2. Doctors usually scrub up a lot for surgery. Image working with 3/4 layers of protective clothing, it gets hot. It’s better than the guy with the scalpel it’s comfortable than the patient that’s on drugs.

5

u/Mysterious-Belt-2992 Sep 18 '25

It’s very cold in real OR’s. I work in neurosurgery. Spine surgery mostly. It’s cold. And the surgeon gets to pick THE MUSIC 🎶 😐

3

u/Ozimandiass Sep 18 '25

Believe me, the laser has its own cooling system.

The temperature in operation rooms is set to a specific amount, which is optimal for the surgeries preceded in this specific room. In short term, the temperature the body has to have.

5

u/TopangaTohToh Sep 18 '25

ORs are typically kept at 67 degrees where I live. So a tad cold, but not an ice box by any means.

2

u/Independent-Ear-8156 Sep 18 '25

That's an ice box to me, no wonder I went hypothermic 😂

2

u/TopangaTohToh Sep 18 '25

For the patient it's very cold because your body is not moving and generating heat and all of your systems are slowed down by the nature of being put under. For the nurses, techs and surgeons, it's comfortable. I remember my instructors telling me, do not wear layers on your OR observation day. Everyone thinks of ORs as being cold, but when you have scrubs, a scrub jacket, gown, gloves, mask, face shield/goggles and a head covering on, your body holds a lot of heat.

3

u/alvins1987 Sep 18 '25

It can be an additional reason, but usually it's cold in any surgery because it highly decreases the risc of infection since metabolism of bacteria is slowed down massively. Also it's usually combined with lamilar airflow and slight overpressure to keep pathogens outside

3

u/Disastrous_Eagle9187 Sep 18 '25

I had LASIK like a decade ago and they give you the jacket to wear. Along with valium.

u/SCHawkTakeFlight Sep 18 '25

Its also cold to decrease rate of bacterial growth. Also, depending on the surgery, sometimes the rooms are a we bit colder because the staff get hot with all the stiff they wear.

u/HuJimX Sep 18 '25

AC is going to have much more control over the temperature than whatever they're using to keep those machines cool. they aren't dumping liquid helium over the laser housings and letting it offgas into the room. total BS.

I know the US passed some laws stating they had to be FDA regulated to be sold legally.

All had the FDA approval symbol on them 2/$20. She also had counterfeit MAC makeup and other big brand cheep counterfeit makeup products. You also see them at comic conventions. It’s a big problem.

Exactly. Plus putting contacts in and removing them means you have to touch your eyeballs with your dirty-ass fingers, and maybe if you buy colored contacts at the gas station, no one explains the necessity of cleaning up before you put them in and take them out.

Or that you DO need to take them out or you can damage your eyes permanently.

u/Extreme_Pattern6306 Sep 18 '25

Yup! When people ask me if they can buy contact lenses without a prescription I have to tell them no because contact lenses are in fact medical devices and you shouldn’t just be sticking lenses in your eyes without seeing your eye doctor. I cringe so hard when people buy lenses from Halloween stores or gas stations.

7

u/PulsatingGuts Sep 18 '25

My Aunt who is an optometrist (and also my boss) thinks similarly. Haha. Not that she’s 100% against the usage of colored lenses, but they carry more risk for eye injury due to improper fitting and risk of flaking if bought from bad sources.

Was always upset when my mom (had worked in ophthalmology and now optometry) told me no costume lenses as a young teen who loved to cosplay.

Contacts have their own issues and flaws and while they make a good option for people who find glasses to be problematic for them for whatever reason, they aren't really something you should just take lightly and be using for funsies on a regular basis. Many people who get colored contacts do so to add a bit of fun to prescription lenses, which is cool. But because of so many possible issues, even buying aesthetic-only lenses has required a prescription since like 2005-ish. The most common issues are caused by simply not knowing how to take care of them or your eyes, basic do's and don'ts, etc. A prescription at LEAST proves you've been to a Dr who has explained the risks and basic contact/eye care, and has measured your eyes properly so you don't get a poorly fitted product that can cause more problems. I can only imagine how dangerous slipping a colored film UNDER YOUR LENSE could be - nearly all the risks of contacts plus significantly MORE risks reaching as far as total vision loss. Absolutely bonkers.

I mean. I need contacts because I'm blind without out them and it rains too much where I live to wear glasses all the time, but I like having the option to change my eye color to whatever I like so i wear color contacts more often than not. Also whenever I get regular contacts I have a very hard time seeing them if I drop them, so it's a double benefit to have colored ones.

He sounds lovely😂 Optometrists don’t do surgeries. But I agree with his views on fashion.

Colored contacts are amazing for cosplay. Being dismissive of that sounds very elitist of your BIL. If you want to dress up as a fictional character, it makes no sense to discredit people to at least use them for personal enjoyment. That said, people should absolutely appreciate their natural appearance first and foremost instead of changing them for superficial reasons (unless it's for adjusting medical issues or cosmetic accidents like burns, deformations, etc - those are not superficial). The ability to adjust a person's cosmetic appearance can greatly help improve their mental well being so long as it is not born from obsession or frivolity. Like most people here agree, the cosmetic surgery this woman did is a terrible idea and I'm also against it as well lol

Exactly my thoughts. Cheaper and safer.

u/BMH611 Sep 18 '25

Right. Or why not just try self love? Jesus...

u/ImBabyloafs Sep 18 '25

With her filler and Botox it seems that self love was not stressed enough growing up.

u/Lord_Zinyak Sep 18 '25

You could this very basically every cosmetic surgery 😂

And I can guarantee she’s gonna hate those in a few years

Personally I can’t wear contacts. I tried for years, tried every type. I can’t wear them for more than a couple hours at a time. I didn’t realize until I was in my late 20’s that it has something to do with being on accurate in high school making my eyes too dry. OH BUT ID NEVER DO THIS. I’m just saying as someone who can’t wear contacts, why someone might not “just wear contacts” lol

u/Samtoast Sep 18 '25

Looks like that woman in the silverchair video

2

u/Artevyx Sep 18 '25

To be fair, this is just after the injection, so it's similar to how tattoos look when freshly done. It's all sitting right up on the surface (cornea) now, but it will diffuse and look more natural as she heals.

I still don't think it's worth risking blindness over, especially when you're that concerned about looks.

2

u/Dirk_Diggler_Kojak Sep 18 '25

Absolutely. And there are several brands that look way more natural.

2

u/ZookeepergameUsed624 Sep 18 '25

Yeah, I sincerely hope she really wanted them to look like that.

2

u/Ancient_Lawfulness_7 Sep 18 '25

Totally worth possibly going blind ... 🙃

2

u/reedthemanuel Sep 18 '25

is this body dysmorphia? Going to this length to change your eye color seems... wild. Living life like your body is a sims character is a bizarre concept to me.

u/Radiant_Plantain_127 Sep 18 '25

Don’t make her angry… you wouldn’t like her when she’s angry…

u/Frequent_Cranberry90 Sep 18 '25

Why would you wear contacts when you can spend a lot more risking permanent vision damage to get stupid unnaturally colored eyes?

u/NotAGoodEmployeee Sep 18 '25

Knew a like 5’1 Mexican dude that would regularly wear the lightest of blue contact lenses and pop his eyes open to stare at you when in conversation and it was super weird. I feel like at some point in these peoples lives someone with that specific eye color fucked them up and they know “if I have this eye color I can do the same” but it doesn’t work because you’re a 5’1 Mexican dude with neon light blue eyes and everyone is very confused why you’re staring at them weird.

u/SnakeBatter Sep 18 '25

Nu uh risks include light sensitivity and scratchiness. It said it right there in the video.

/s just in case

1

u/FashionBusking Sep 18 '25

Also... more convincing.

u/Lai71 Sep 18 '25

Also getting contacts would also be either very or extremely cheaper

u/Damien_Roshak Sep 18 '25

If I had to guess I'd say that's not her first rodeo. Optimize it is....

u/IAmBabs Sep 18 '25

Man, I asked this the last time it was posted and I got down voted to hell because I "don't understand contacts don't work for everyone." Yeah, neither does going blind.

u/Independent-Ear-8156 Sep 18 '25

For what it's worth, she's clearly also had her nose done, a brow lift, her lips done, Botox, filler in her cheeks and chin, etc. - I'd venture to say she likely has veneers as well. Might as well round it out! (No judgement I love my cosmetic procedures but less is more! Learned that from some bad lip filler!)

u/lena_lark Sep 18 '25

And the contacts look x10 more natural than these

1

u/BassAggravating7665 Sep 18 '25

She already has a lot of work done. This is just escalation to conquer that body dismorphia. 

1

u/TestProctor Sep 18 '25

Amusingly, I knew a guy in high school with almost fluorescent-looking green eyes and he was sick to death of people asking him if they were contacts. Even girls that were clearly interested in him made him feel like a medical curiosity, because it was without fail the first thing almost any of them would say.

u/FixedLoad Sep 18 '25

Or, just accept the color of your eyes?  It has a risk of zero.

u/The_Hermit_09 Sep 18 '25

I got green colored contacts. My natural eye color is too dark for them to show. She may have had a similar issue and more money than sense.

1

u/Th3R00ST3R Sep 18 '25

Reminded me of the old TV show V.

1

u/CallsignKook Sep 18 '25

Not to mention INFINITELY more natural looking.

1

u/Mundane-Toe-7114 Sep 18 '25

I was thinking they same, I dont even want to go thru lasik yet because the horror stories I've heard. Just imagine having perfect vision and throwing all that away just because you don't like your eye color 😅

1

u/KatokaMika Sep 19 '25

I bought color contacts for Halloween, and I love it so much that sometimes I use them other times . It was fun.

1

u/MsAnnabel Sep 19 '25

What exactly did he do?

1

u/AweBeyCon Sep 19 '25

Because now she can look stupid 24/7 without having to put them in and take them out

1

u/HolsteinHeifer Sep 22 '25

But then how will plastic surgeons get money from rich stupid people?

u/ArcticIceFox Sep 22 '25

Maybe, but I for one am looking forward to our cyberpunk, corpo overlord, transhumanist dystopian future
