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

I think the rolls are due to sagging skin. As we age, we shrunk. So, we can't avoid having rolls when we sit down. I am sure that if you sit up straight, the rolls will not be that obvious. But at least, your stomach is flat when standing. So, I guess thats good enough.
I am making an effort to cut down on sugars as sugars age us prematurely, not to mention sagging skin etc.

Cutting down on sugars is good @Fortunecat. In my opinion, processed foods/ sugar may cause cancer.

I even debated tummy lift for the sagging skin but can’t stomach a long scar for my tummy or my arm. Or maybe I should only have surgery in Korea as the surgeons there are amazing at sewing and my scars from surgery in Korea are invisible vs in the U.K. seem to form raised red thick keloids.

Would a breast fat transfer last only a year? I have more than enough fat but wouldn’t want to go through the pain every year.

Breast fat transfer can last forever after 1-2 rounds in the best hands. In the US Dr Bednar is the best and has transferred even 700 ccs but he charges $11,500. In the UK David Floyd is the best but he transfers smaller amounts, ie no more than 200 ccs for around £4-5k for one round or over £6k for 2 rounds. Both have patients report good results at the year mark in fb groups on FT. I am still trying to find a top surgeon at breast FT for less. Fresh in korea quote 4-5 million won but I can't find patients to see their 1 year result. Still in research mode.

I think you look fab without the implants--so natural and pretty, and so trim as well! You look amazing.

I have been following a lady in instagram. Her id is "be.shrinking". She used to be fat. But with her determination, she managed to lose a lot of fats which later resulted in loose skin. She went to have a tummy tuck and her surgeon did a good job. She posted of her scars from the tummy tuck and it looked really well done. Her surgeon is in US as she is living in US though. I think she had her tummy tuck in October 2016.

Thank you @catelet. I am tempted to leave well enough alone after my areola op on Wednesday.

I have been thinking, mercury poisoning may cause mad hatters disease, copper iud poisoning may cause depression, tearfulness and hopelessness, titanium hip implant poisoning may cause dementia, and finally silicone textured breast implants may cause breast implant illness. Surely, the message is that we should not be putting any foreign body under our skin or inside our body! I am amazed there are over 1,800 ladies in the copper iud toxicity fb support group! I am having to deal with someone close who is getting her copper iud out tomorrow, as her mood swings, tearfulness, angry outbursts, etc. are really scary! Fingers crossed she has instant relief as the ladies report in the group.

Omg today I came across a youtube video of my favourite plastic surgeon in the world Dr Seo of MVP clinic transforming a guy's eyes and nose! What a treat to see him filmed in the operating room! I wish he did revision rhinos! Now I want that guy's nose! You can see why I am so grateful to Dr Seo for my eyes, lid fat graft, facial fat graft etc. The minute he says he is confident to do revision rhinos, I shall be on a plane to Korea to get a long nose! Tired of my short Barbie nose. lol

Today is post op day 3 of my revision breast op I had on Wednesday in Birmingham under local. It only took him 30 minutes to fix my asymmetric elliptical areolas. He upgraded the op to bilateral periareola mastopexy so the breasts look a bit more pert. That was the longest 6 months waiting for revision and the risk of any plastic surgery procedure. I had bleeding postop for 24 hours despite constant pressure and countless gauze changes, until an ice pack finally stopped the ooze. As I suffer from eczema/contact dermatitis to most if not all plasters/tape/dressings, I decided to go dressing free once the bleeding stopped which seems to be expediting skin healing, ie the natural way. The skin was closed with absorbable sutures so no need to get suture removal in a week. My areolas are now small and round. On Monday I share my 4 banned breast implant story on BBC2 to warn viewers that both the European and/or the US regulators got it wrong 4 times and to consider FT as an alternative to foreign body implants.

Arm lipo is next in 20 days time in Belgium. I have become a plastic surgery tourist! Amazingly there are online money transfer companies that give better foreign exchange rates than the high street or the best foreign exchange store. It was so easy to transfer €1500 euros to Dr O from my uk account without the hefty bank charges! I might do this again if I need more plastic surgery in Korea and transfer dollars instead of carry a wad of cash won!

I got a quote for breast fat transfer from mvp which matches Dr Oelbrandt's £2.4k breast fat transfer quote which is cheaper than Fresh, but the flight and hotel expenses are more to Korea than Europe and I have too little fat on my body to make a noticeable difference to breast FT taking into account up to 50% reabsorption. So again I have to tell myself no to breast FT.

I went through my old bikini photos reminiscing and missing the fullness and cleavage but not prepared to gain 10 lbs just to create fat for transfer. This means I shall stick to padded bikini tops and bras.

Today I met 3 guests at a luncheon, 2 with Parkinson’s and one with advanced breast cancer, all relatively young in their 50s or 60s. Another guest said 3 of her friends have been diagnosed with breast cancer and they all carried their mobile phones close to their chest, I presume in their bra or blouse pocket? How many of you do this? Do you experience headaches from overuse of your phone or earbuds? This may be explaining why women with no family history of breast cancer and no history of hormone use in contraception or HRT are getting breast cancer?! There also seems to be a link between vitamin C deficiency and Parkinson’s! I noticed I heal faster when I take high doses of vitamin C powder.

Here I am today looking much better with the S9 focal lens than in real life I think. Maybe that’s why some ladies are asking for plastic surgery to look like their phone selfies?

The scarring from your lip lift seems to be basically invisible now. Is that also the case when you have no makeup on?

Yes @cythr, the kenalog steroid injection made a huge difference to the bullhorn liplift keloid which had been white, raised and thickened. The scar is now virtually invisible. The vermillion liplift scar is truly invisible which is a credit to Korean plastic surgeon's suturing skills.

Today's post is on the ideal breast shape measurements. Yesterday on day 4 I compared my measurements to this chart from Yale med school. The distance between my sternal notch and nip is 19 cms! Yay, at least within reach of a lady in her 20s, ie 17-19 cms. The distance between the nip and midline sternum is 10 cms so this is also within the ideal range. But the distance between the nip and bottom of the breast is only 4.5 cms on one side and 5 cms on the other so not within the ideal range of 7-8 cms. This means I lack volume to fill out the breasts. However in a bra, everything looks better with a diagonal measurement of 17 cms etc. For us skinny ladies who refuse to gain weight for breast FT, the only 2 choices are Dr Bednar in N Carolina or Dr Burns in Texas who specialise in microfat transfer and find every ounce of fat even on a skinny lady but the cost is huge with flights, hotels, $11.5k surgery cost alone for one surgeon and $9.5k for the other and then flying back for a top up too so more like $15k total. Sigh.

9 days to go to try out arm lipo with Dr O in Belgium. Filled with trepidation after seeing my friend who had lipo in Korea on her arms and has hollows. Maybe it won’t reduce the upper arm? Maybe I need an arm lift but I cannot cope with a long scar the length of my upper arm. Sigh. I plan to wear arm compression bandages day and night postop. Meanwhile I looked up my idol Cindy Jackson who is now 62! I met her decades ago when I paid £200 for a one hour consult with her in Chelsea. Now she charges £1250 an hour to give advice on what you may need and who to see. I seem to be giving away that info for free on this site! I don’t mind as I call it good karma and pray I don’t end up a freak in my pursuit of perfection and eternal youth!

Here she is at age 60 in 2017 discussing patients going abroad for plastic surgery as it is cheaper. Makes sense as I just paid off the balance of a £1395 veneer replacement yesterday, yes for one tooth in London! I heard she stopped seeing my London dentist and went to Hungary for her private dentistry work. Sounds like I need to research Hungarian cosmetic dentists in future.

I am now 2 weeks post revision periareolar mastopexy and healing well except for a keloid scar on my right areola which I am trying to treat with hydrocortisone 1% cream and Kelo-cote which is softening the keloid but it is very slow progress. May need kenalog injection at my 6 week postop review I think.

An update on textured silicone implants, the US FDA finally agreed to withdraw this implant on July 24 and becomes the 38th country to ban this implant. Sadly I met a lady who had breast implant illness from smooth silicone breast implants! Wow, so smooth shells may not be safe either. My endoscopy result on July 24 showed all normal! My antral gastritis, oesophageal ulcer and eosinophilic oesophagitis on endoscopy a month prior to explant had all disappeared post explant! In my activist role I went on BBC radio and BBC2 Victoria Derbyshire show to warn ladies out there of breast implant illness from textured silicone implants. Must say I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in a BBC radio booth!

So if you are getting any foreign body implant, silicone, copper iud, cobalt hip replacement, mesh, etc., please pay attention to any sign of immune reaction, watch the Bleeding Edge on Netflix and consider explant for health reasons,

MissOrange, don't you think that removing fat from your arm will make your skin sag more? The issue is not the fat but the skin laxity. The skin tightening procedures such as Profound RF don't work.either. There is a procedure called mini brachioplasty through which you can get some muscle tightening and pull the skin. The incisions are under the arm pit and in the natural creases under the arm. I heard it is not as effective as a regular brachioplasty but in your case considering the minimal laxity you have, it may be a good option.

Hi @EvaCandy I researched and yes it is called t lift, a mini arm lift with a vertical scar in the armpit. My arm lipo is now in a week’s time. I saw a vertical scar in my friend’s armpit and with my dark pigmentation scars, I think I shall try arm lipo first. If the skin sags more, then I will research t lift ie mini brachioplasty but I think that will be £4-5k in the U.K or maybe even ask Dr O for mini lift at a later date. I am trying to avoid scars as for some reason my recent body scars are dark and pigmented vs my hernia scar from decades ago is invisible. Does ageing cause scars to pigment too?

Oh my! I will be following your thread closely! I am contemplating arm lipo too!
