Today's post is a b&a at age 25 graduating from med school vs 56 happily retired and happy with my face. In my 20s I wanted to become a plastic surgeon to help ladies become beautiful. We have all witnessed genetically beautiful students enjoy a life of popularity, dating with ease, going on to marry tall and handsome men, getting picked for jobs easily and I wished I could transform and that all ladies could transform if they wished. We have all wished to be that most beautiful girl on campus...
31 years later I guess I am achieving the same goal but by different means, ie by sharing my journey into understanding how the face ages and how to create a more beautiful face using myself as a guinea pig, sourcing the best yet affordable board certified plastic surgeons in the world. Looking back I can see that my 25 yo face divided into thirds has a too short philtrum and too big chin. I did not have the ideal 1:2 ratio. Now my 56 yo face has the ideal thirds ratio and 1:2 ratio of philtrum to chin, bigger eyes with Dr Seo and a more harmonious looking face.
What amazes me is my lower lip is full and I never had surgery there but just applied carmex lip balm every day for decades! I stopped using lip fillers in my 40s. Maybe that is why models live by vaseline on their lips. It achieves the same thing as carmex and gives fuller lips?!
At 25 I struggled to keep my weight around 99 lbs. At 56 I am maintaining a weight of 95-96 lbs with ease! At 25 I lived on cheetos, lays, milk duds, Captain Crunch cereal, Dunkin donuts, American pizza, tatter tots, capri sun (never drank water), Chinese takeaways, etc. At 56 I have no crisps or chocolates at home, stopped ordering Domino's pizza, rarely eat a Chinese takeaway and live on my husband's healthy home cooked meals and drink water with every meal. I noticed that my weight goes up after I order and eat a just eats food delivery and goes down on days I do not eat takeaways. The other thing I noticed was when I was 25 I lived in a bungalow or a flat in the US so rarely climbed stairs and never did housework and now I live in a house with stairs and do daily housework as exercise.
