How to go from 50+ to looking 20+ with plastic surgery rejuvenation.

[MissOrange]

Hi hi Miss O

I just re read this thread and found out you mention dr Yoo dream as one of your potential surgeon for smas, do you mind telling me is it still the case?

Why'd you choose dr Yoo?

I havent heard any single review on him for FL.

TIA

Hi @Gorme, I don't remember. I would now say see Asps for FL or Dr Seo at mvp for FL.

But before you consider expensive FL try 2 things...if you are very underweight, try to gain a few lbs to add volume back to your face or try increasing your water intake to add volume.

Here is a photo of my lower face first thing in the morning when I awake dehydrated with a dry mouth. See how any plastic surgeon would then agree to do a lower FL but the next photo is after drinking 330 cls of water, ie a can size of water. See how the skin and tissue expands and lifts the face. In fact the more water I drink the more the face plumps up naturally. Rule out dehydration and being too thin as causes of skin sagging and facial volume loss first.

Today's post is on how to live longer. No point in looking younger if you get diagnosed with cancer and die prematurely so can we reduce our risks of dying from cancer? I wondered why 1 in 8 women get breast cancer in America especially after I heard a slim non smoker with no family history of breast cancer got breast cancer at age 50 in usa!

Then I remembered radon gas...Radon is carcinogenic and here in the uk the highest levels are found in Devon and Cornwall where coincidentally cancer rates are double that of London. I looked at USA and while California is orange or moderate levels of radon, north and nw are in the red, like Illinois for instance!

Turns out Czech republic has the highest levels of radon in the world, followed by S Korea! In fact 30% of deaths in korea are due to cancer, followed by suicide as second.

After mastectomy, ladies often in their 50s+ face extensive reconstruction and an unsettling decision as to whether to get implants. USA are the only country in the world to continue to sell textured silicone breast implants linked to lymphoma despite France being the first country to ban these cancer causing implants.

A lot of food for thought. Living in London is safe enough with regards to radon but genetics means 20% of the pop may have high lipoprotein A linked to increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. I am trying niacin and coenzyme q 10 supplements as I can only find these 2 in research papers that have successfully reduced lpa levels in the blood. Interestingly research papers show statins do not affect lpa levels!

In my 50s, I have 2 decades to solve high lipoprotein A or face a debilitating stroke and death from stroke in my 70s.

Thank you @missy_sana for creating the photos. Wish I looked like the meiku beauty app photos in real life!

I came across an amazing zygoma reduction instagram photo and am back obsessing over zygoma reduction with Dr Oh of Regen. My friend has worked out that my current heavy looking glasses is doing my cheeks no favours or the fact that I am applying blush to the wrong areas! So before I impulsively book zygoma reduction, I will try new ulzzang style ultra light weight glasses and try different makeup.

I finished watching all 16 episodes of My ID Gangnam Beauty and am now wanting a female version of the perfect face! The male lead actor Cha Eunwoo looks like he had des as his middle school photos in real life shows smaller eyes vs in the k drama he has big eyes with parallel creases.

Im pretty sure Cha Eun-woo is actually all natural. He has had photos of him from all ages shown on tv and has been somewhat famous from a young age because of his looks. Plus he also has no double eyelid surgery scars.

@cythr By comparing his before and after I would also add he had jawbone reduction. His chin is a lot shorter and flatter which gives a more Japanese anime look vs his before chin was more prominent. His eyes are now bigger and more open which suggests some form of des, incision or non incisional, in my opinion.

See how a full fringe along with a shorter chin creates a smaller face. Fascinating how he has created a perfect face and been named Korea's GQ man of the year. He is the real gangnam beauty.

Thank you @missy_sana for the amazing youtube link to haircuts to mask a wide face or zygoma! Oh my goodness, I don't need zygoma reduction! I just need to stop cutting my own hair and get a professional cut like one in the video clip!



I was planning on going back down to 97 lbs and fill my face with drinking water. Maybe I should bite the bullet and try a fringed bob! Looks like I already tried the long blonde hair with layering like in the clip. At the moment I am using an infrared ionic straightener that gives a sleek pressed straight hair look and cut my own fringe to look like the first photo. My hair doesn't want to stay forward on the sides. Amazing how their hair hangs forward over the sides of their faces! I want these side hair curtains! The bottom photo reminds me of blogger bongqiuqiu.

^ I remember you said before that "long hair = youth". Did you change your mind now that you want a bob?

JLo, who's turning 50 this year looks better with shorter hair imo:

@arnott yes you are right to remind me. Long hair does equate to youth. Maybe I will get a bob when I turn 60. My OH prefers me with long hair. Guess that means I use the hair straightener, grow it long to drape the sides like curtain drapes and wear a full fringe...curtain fringe! lol. Why am I obsessing about curtains?

Today's post follows on @SheOnlyLooks25 's post on fat graft complications. I thought it useful to share my fat graft lipoma lump on my forehead I got from fg earlier this year. The photo was taken yesterday so has not disappeared after 7 months. The good news is that it is only visible if I try to raise my eyebrows or look up but if I do, this is the visible fat lump in the middle of my forehead along with 2 forehead wrinkles (perhaps time for a botox top up). If I wear my hair as a curtain fringe then I don't have to worry about the lump popping out if I look up at everyone who is taller. Sigh.

The next photo is a selfie from yesterday with no frowning, raising of brows or looking up. Thank goodness the lump is not visible on my resting facial expression. I used to surgically remove fatty lipomas when I was a surgeon so am not holding my breath that it will absorb over time. Sigh.

The slight nasolabial crease shadows suggest I am due radiesse dermal filler soon as the filler dissolves over 2-4 months and does not last 12-18 months as you may be told. The other option would be paranasal silicon implants but this would cost 7 million won and may risk getting an infection or rejection so for me it has been radiesse dermal fillers for over a decade. I see many older ladies who neglect the nasolabial folds and the crease then deepens and ages them (see stock photo). It is an easy enough fix with dermal fillers with immediate results and no down time.

Hi @MissOrange my fat graft also left me with two lumps which is worrying me alot. It has been over a year and it's not getting any better.. There was one occasion it actually bloated up to a hard half marble size lump suddenly !!! I massage it and a bruise appeared next day.. And it still hurts a little. It really scare the hell out of me.
I had steroids jab on it but it didn't help at all. Can I ask if you experience the same thing? I really don't know what to do. Feel like surgically removing it but I am scared it will leave a scar.

Hi @niniwowo, You reminded me to look at my forehead and frown to see if the central fat pad is still there. I just checked and it has flattened! Yay. So it happened before 14 months postop. It could either have had fluid in it or were excess fat cells that reabsorbed over a year later. That means do nothing and wait like I did. It was the first time ever I had a fat lump post fat transfer so like you got scared but I just told myself think positively and wait for it to reabsorb. If it is huge and not going away, then you can get lipoma resection but that leaves a scar. You could also try to lose a few lbs to starve out or shrink the fat cells in the lumps perhaps?

 

[MissOrange]

I have been asked for what head compression bandage I used post fat transfer. Here it is.

Also I came across an article explaining a real vs fake smile. Now I know why when I say cheese or try to smile for selfies, my smile looks off! Even my daughters said I need to practice smiling! Seems we have to use our eye muscles too!

Thank you for replying me. @MissOrange Glad that yours has flattened . I Might have to really consider lipoma resection as I don't think I can lose any more weight.
Am already quite underweight ...
Hope it's nothing too serious.. As I am so scared.

Hi @niniwowo,

I kept pressing firmly on the lump to break up the fat cells which helped. Do you have a photo of the lumps? Hard to comment without seeing the size and location.

Here is a selfie taken today exposing my botoxfree forehead and no lump. It has been almost 2 years since I had botox to my forehead. I am trying to go natural..no acrylic nails, no botox and no breast implants. Can we still look good? I think from years of botox my forehead muscles have learned not to frown.

Your forehead and temples too look great! It's definitely a marker of youth when you have fullness there.

How are the lines in your forehead when you raise your brows? My worry is repeated normal expressions will eventually etch lines in my forehead that will become permanent as you age. I guess the fg saved you money from having to get botox every few months since the added fat serves as a sort of cushion to absorb the muscle movements before it reaches the skin? Yet another reason for me to get fg!

@Gats when I frown really hard there are a few faint lines near the hairline. But I have to consciously frown very hard as even when I look up there are no lines.

Yesterday was particularly hot for the uk so I drank +++ water. I lost count of how many glasses of water! I weighed 99 lbs yesterday morning and instead of dieting ate a big croissant, doughnut, bulgogi, 2 bowls of rice for breakfast and lunch and took these selfies by the pool. I was baffled as I thought my face would look bloated but instead it looked like I had had a fat graft top up?!

I am baffled as to what weight to be. I thought my face looked good at 97.2 lbs but now it looks good at over 99 lbs. I am just terrified of the dehydrated look with sunken sagging lower face and accentuated big cheeks. Once you experience a dehydrated face post fat transfer it is frightening!
