@Fortunecat I was surprised as HYS's cheeks look bigger without makeup. Maybe contouring makeup is giving the illusion of a smaller face? HYS without makeup looks like any normal korean.

I joined up to say that I have read your thread from the start, thank you so much for all your research and all the information you’ve posted. I always thought Marie Helvin was the most beautiful model ever and you really resemble her facially, I wish you would write a book because with your media profile and fascinating journey through the minefield that cosmetic surgery can be, it would be a best seller!
I am nearly the same age as you, but you look young enough to be my daughter!! I am planning a full face lift at 55 and currently researching where to go in the UK
Meanwhile I depend on one of those little Rex Kara machines from Korea that I got on ebay to keep away jowls using ultrasound and I am thinking about a lip lift because your face was completely transformed by that. I have been doing research on Realself and I’ve seen a few really nice lip lifts done by Amir Nakhdjevani so I might go to him. I would not even think of this procedure if I hadn’t seen this thread, so thank you again for the generous time and effort you have put in to it.

Hi @Noellie welcome to TPF and thank you for taking the time to read my ps journey rantings. I am glad it helped. I hate how we women in our 50s become invisible in society and if it means we have to rejuvenate to be noticed, then so be it.
Why look at facelifts in the U.K.? It is so expensive here. The cheapest for facelifts is with Dr Oelbrandt in Belgium. He consults on Wimpole street. Have a look at his patients on RS who had FLs for around €3k and under sedation! I would be so nervous to pay £7k for FL under local in the U.K. or gobsmacked to pay £12k for FL under GA here. Korea is marginally cheaper for smas FL at $11k and the best suited for Asian faces. I have yet to have a smas facelift. Part of me envies women who get this as the results are instant instead of multiple trips for fat graft top ups and the high maintenance required as fat may reabsorb at different rates in different places. I live on water to keep my fat cells inflated. Lol.
I find it is easier to write up my ps journey here in this ps forum as it is monitored and only those interested in ps would come here. In the real world, anyone writing a book on plastic surgery rejuvenation may get attacked for being vain, etc. as there is such a negative societal bias against women trying to look better or younger with ps so no book. And it is free to read here too!
I shall probably be around here until I get a smas facelift and zygoma reduction at age 60. 6 years to go. Lol.
I must say that when you look younger, your brain gets fooled and thinks you are younger inside too! When it sees a young face in the mirror, the body becomes as fit as a young person too! I played tennis against my daughter’s 25 year old bf and beat him in a round of volleys! My brain thought my body should behave like a young person! The same applied to wall climbing. I climbed up like a young person and not an old lady. Short of getting young blood transfusions, I guess this is the next best thing...fooling your eyes and brain.
PS I love your dog avatar! Now that all my adult daughters have moved out and there is no imminent grandchild in the horizon, I am researching puppies! This generation have more younger couples living together than married here in the U.K.! Hoping my OH buys a puppy before Xmas! Cuddles and no backtalk! Can’t wait!

@MissOrange How's the progress of your arm liposuction? I am in Seoul now and went for a consultation. The surgeon said that i did not need arm liposuction at all despite me feeling that they are big and looks saggy. Oh well...
Hi @Fortunecat arm lipo is expensive in korea. If a surgeon refuses arm lipo he either is not experienced, you do not need or arm lift is needed. Did you measure your mid arm circumference? I showed Dr O the chart and he measured in cms. I measured just now...9.75 inches on the left and 10 inches on the right! Yay! Dr Oelbrandt did it! 7 weeks postop and all the swelling is gone. Fly to Belgium for €1500 arm lipo under iv sedation and a delicious belgian waffle with coke when you wake up! I am going to Dr O for FL at 60!
@MrsKing is in Seoul too. Hook up with her!

The surgeon suggested double chin liposuction instead of arms liposuction. I did liposuction at other areas too. I shall write my review soon.
Look forward to reading your review @Fortunecat! I have started drinking protein powder shakes! I watched a show on how to stay young and it said that in our 50s the muscles in our arms turn to fat and showed ct scan slices proving this! Ouch! That explains why I had saggy batwing upper arms even when skinny. So that got me thinking I need to eat more protein and take protein supplements! I tried powerlifting a bar bell and only managed 10 kgs! Lol. My daughter can power lift 87.5 kgs! I now want toned upper arms! I think the arm fat he removed is now expanding my butt fat cells as my bum looks bigger! I now get complimented on my bum! And to think it was flat as a pancake in my 20s. I have only had 2 high protein drinks so far and eaten beef bulgogi and chicken stir fry and think I see more arm muscles! Lol.
I wonder why the surgeon refused you arm lipo. Do you have pics of your upper arms? Good you got some other areas liposuctioned as it is a long way to travel. I see Dr O for my 3 month review next month. I may ask about thigh lipo or lift. Lol. If he could lift up the thigh skin, trim and suture it along my glut crease, I would have Barbie legs!
Maybe the surgeon felt that its not sagging at all. I do not have any photos of arms. I shall try to take it the next time.
Do be careful of protein shakes. I put on weight when drinking protein shakes despite doing weights training. Do look at the sugar content for those protein shakes and consume carefully.
A friend sent me this. I had to laugh as I have had 3 out of the 5 worst ps! Yep donut lift then needed revision for wonky areolas, filler cut out of my upper lip, and textured breast implants removed en bloc. To think I was contemplating threadlift next! lol
After rejuvenation comes checking, checking to make sure you still look young as aging may continue! So far, so good. The Feb 2018 fat graft with Dr Seo at MVP is holding and no forehead wrinkles due to the fat replacement which means no more botox required! An added bonus.

Here is my 2 month update on €1500 upper arm liposuction with Dr Oelbrandt of Beveren, Belgium. I can clearly see an improvement. I would say be prepared for swelling and a firm cordlike feeling in your arms as the blood clots and lipo fluid take time to dissolve but definitely by 2 months you get your final result. My left mid arm circumference is now 9.75 inches and my right 10 inches so I think I went down half an inch on the left and an entire inch on the right. Book a £40 consult at his Wimpole street clinic or do a Skype consult and then take the Eurostar or fly to Brussels and take local trains into Beveren. His clinic is a 15 minute walk from the station. When I see him at my 3 month review, I may ask about thigh lift?

Hi @mora144 I have yet to come across a Korean plastic surgeon who performs bullhorn lip lift as they are wary of the visible scar and potential complaints from Asian patients. Best to go to Mascaro in Florida or Mills in London like I did.
