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

[Fortunecat]

I was in an aesthetic clinic today and read that Exilis Ultra 360 can be used to tighten and firm up the arms area. Maybe you can consider doing that in the future.

Today is pod 10 and I have been wearing kinesiology sports taping instead of the itchy compression garment. Imo this sports taping is so much better for pain relief, comfort, smoothness of lipo site, just the right compression and sleepability.

I have put together a collage comparing my Dr O arm lipo to another 53 yo pt of Dr O who had arm lift! I can see the improvement with arm lipo. My mid arm circ is 10.5 inches on the right and 10 inches on the left. For my bmi less than 18.5 it should be 9 inches on both sides. In 3 months if my arms are not reducing more then I shall pay for a mini arm lift with Dr O.

Have you any further info on VIP? I'm also in the hunt for an SMAS facelift pro in Korea

Hi @J't'aime funny you should mention Aishwarya Rai as she is one of my beauty idols. I have seen all her movies. There was controversy as to whether her eyes really are blue green or brown and in earlier photos and a very early film her eyes are.....naturally brown. Between you and me, I think she wears coloured contacts now. I envy her nose! In fact I was staring at all the lovely big noses in the Indian ladies I saw on holiday. I suffer from the grass is greener syndrome as I have had a tiny nose all my life and think big noses like on Princess Diana, Aishwarya, Jun Ji Hyun make them even more beautiful.

Ugh when you mentioned bone density loss I thought, maybe I should not have got my chin shaved in 2016 as I need all the bone I can keep in my face to withstand osteoporosis in my 60s and beyond! I am facing up to 30% bone loss in very old age! I am fortunate to have wide zygoma bones which as long as I don't reduce, will hold up my face for now. lol. The tip of my nose being upturned gives the illusion of youth. Tip rhinoplasty is a good operation. And of course bullhorn liplift for a sagging philtrum reduces the philtrum back to 11-13 mms and everts the lip so no more restylane is required.

It was too funny when I was at Mvp last month, the manager suggested I stop putting fillers in my lips as my lips were so big! lol. I have not had restylane since 2016 as the liplift everted the upper lip! In Korea, I don't think they consider big lips as attractive as they do in the West.

Hi Ms Orange, I like your eyes very much. I need to do my eye lid due to ageing process. Could you give me me contact details of your doctor ?

Hi @shaunical, my eyes were done by Dr Seo at the Most Valuable Plastic Surgery clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul, www.mvpps.com. I had revision upper lid blepharoplasty with upper lid fat graft. Make sure to ask for excision of loose eyelid skin.

Pod 11 and I am still trying to decide whether I need a small elliptical arm lift. On one arm, I can see a marked improvement (yellow t shirt is today vs black vest before) but on the other arm very little difference.

Today's post revisits zygoma reduction. When a friend said her face width was only 12.7 cms guess who started obsessing again about her 14 cm wide face! Thus far the korean clinics to look at for bone contouring are regen, EU dental, the face dental and now add Dr Lee at Girin to the list. I have been looking at their instagram videos and they seem to focus a lot on zygoma reduction. I figure videos are less likely to be photoshopped than photos but then maybe there is software for videos too?

Lol.
@MissOrange Pls give up on thoughts of having zygoma reduction. We already knew more cons than pros to having this surgery done.
You will definitely need a face lift after zygoma reduction.

I thought I would start a new thread as I seem to have hijacked smitten kitten's thread on MVP to share my journey. I summarised my plastic surgery journey on www.drunacoales.blogspot.co.uk. Here is a short summary of my tips.

1. As you age, the nose tip droops. Bear this in mind when you get your primary rhinoplasty as it may not be your last. My tip drooped after 16 years and needed revision. In SK they prefer ultra soft silicone for the nose as it is easier to fit. Take care as some people react to foreign material more than others and you may need to remove or exchange on average every 10 years as with most body artificial implants. Ear or rib cartilage is autologous and less likely to cause a reaction. Get several quotes on kakao from various clinics. One clinic JW may start at 13 million for rib rhino revision but then drops to 11 million if they know you are active on social media but then may drop even further to 8 million after a consultation with the plastic surgeon and may even drop to 7.4 if you look like you are going elsewhere as shared by another KK friend. This is something foreigners are not used to...negotiating. Or clinics like GNG or MVP will start with a fair price like 4.5 million at GNG for rhino or 3 million special at MVP. MVP is noted for trying to give foreigners as close to local prices as they can. There are 2 types of noses...long nose and Barbie nose. Make sure you bring an A4 of a favourite actress or model or use the facetouchup app to see which suits your face. Bear in mind the nose and ears continue to grow with aging!

2. In your 40s, you start to lose fat from your face which then makes your face look bony. The most resistant fat is in your cheeks which then makes your face look unbalanced, ie chipmunk cheeks on a bony skeleton face. The answer is not cheek liposuction or buccal fat removal but full face fat graft to rejuvenate and replace all the facial fat lost with ageing. Be patient as fat grafting may need 3 attempts to stay and be prepared to gain a few lbs to help the fat graft thrive.

3. Eyelid sulcus hollows with ageing. Again fat grafting to the lids rejuvenates. You can combine this with an incision des or blepharoplasty. Again bear in mind that skin sags so actually a bigger crease buys you more time before it sags. Your first des is never your last when battling gravity.

4. Philtrum sags with ageing. You may have seen smiles with no upper teeth show. This is because the philtrum has sagged from 11 mms to 20 mms and basically covers your upper teeth show even at rest. Try a bullhorn lip lift and do not ask the plastic surgeon to cut into the nasal sill or it may distort the nostrils. The only downside is a scar but if you wear makeup, you can hide as it takes a year for the scar to be invisible.

5. SMAS facelift. I have seen this in girls as young as 30. As it is costly and with ageing all skin sags, I would suggest trying to put this off as long as possible by using other anti ageing procedures. Bear in mind any bone surgery may accelerate skin sagging and you may end up requiring an earlier SMAS facelift.

Hope this helps ladies especially from 40+. I turn 51 shortly and my next milestone hurdle will be conquering ageing at 60!

You look great! Mind sharing the doctor? I am in my early 50 and desperately looking for face and eye lip lift . Thanks in advance

Hi @MissOrange, I'm a fan of how open you are with your procedures and research, so I made an account just to let you know that there are definitely filters for videos nowadays. Plus, they're shockingly good. Check this video out on Reddit to see what I mean. I wouldn't trust a video unless if you can see pores!

Thanks @bottledpoe! Sigh. It would be so much better if the after photo or video were without makeup to compare like with like. It is so hard to do research. I think the best scenario would be to meet a person f2f to see their results. But that is hard to do from another country.

I have been toing and froing re zygoma reduction. View would be 32 million (as my chin reduction makes it a 2 million extra for revision)! And all their facial contouring procedures recommend facelift at the same time or 5-6 months later!

Girin is cheapest as it is just 2 surgeons, one who does eyes and the other bone contouring and I have seen many b+a photos but do I want to budget for a 11-12 mill facelift too just in case? So for now hairstyling reduces the width of my face 1 cm on each side.

Today's post is on arm liposuction. It seems it can be done to bring out muscle definition! The best result I have found is Dr Thomas Su in USA but the price starts from $8k and that is under local anaesthesia with instant results and no need to wait months to deswell! He even has ladies fly in from Australia! I guess my arm lipo in Belgium for £1350 (€1500) with iv sedation was the best deal. My right arm is 10.5 inches and my left arm 9.75 inches at 2.5 weeks postop. Preop my right arm was 10.75 inches and my left arm was 9.75 inches which is why I can only see an improvement in my right upper arm at this point. I bought a seca baby head circumference tape which works perfectly to measure your mid arm circumference without fiddling with normal tape measures! September 5 I get a second opinion from Cadogan Clinic as to whether I need mini arm lift to get 9 inch arms which would match my bmi of 18.3.
