Here is the immediate b+a with Dr Seo at mvp for threadlift with 6 threads and full face fg. The bottom left was taken hours before the op while consulting with Dr Seo Friday. The afters were taken Saturday morning as I had already peeled off the forehead tapes ahead of my mvp follow up appt that day for 1:30 pm.
I was amazed I had an instant v line and high cheekbones! But then my anxiety grew and grew. I had not thought it through properly. I have an autoummune reaction to foreign bodies..silicone textured implants (gave me eosinophilic oesophagitis, antral ulcer, burning painful dry eyes, rash, histiocytic reaction to silicone on pathology report on explant, brain fog etc), the premaxilla gortex implant had become infected and drained pus from the roof of my mouth into my oral cavity and had needed urgent removal, my rib rhino had developed an abscess with tip collapse at 2.5 weeks from reaction to the permanent stitches inside my nose and needed weeks of antibiotics and revision rhino again and I always take out stitches 2-3 days post as my skin reacts with intense itching, pain and skin irritation until the stitches come out.
The more I worried, the more pain I felt at the thread insertion sites and the more tight my face felt from simultaneous facial fg + thread tightening. I googled and read that autoimmune diseases are actually a contraindication to threadlifting! That and neurosis which I was having big time about having a ticking time bomb to when my body would totally reject and how it would manifest, ie would I have pus pouring from 6 incisions in my scalp as my body rejects, would I get a facial rash for 6-12 months etc. I went back early at noon to mvp to discuss urgent removal.
I appreciated Dr Seo's amazing abilities to achieve a v line face lifted result with just thread lifts and how he had stayed late on Friday, how nurses stayed late to 11 pm for me, how Anna the consultant rode with me in a taxi to my hotel and mvp covered the taxi ride, how he had spent extra time to give me the best threadlift result even though he was tired from a full list Mon-Sat every week...
Both Dr Seo in between surgeries and Ellen tried to reassure me the threads were dissolvable and I had had dissolvable fillers in the past with no problems but what was truly touching was they showed empathy to my intense anxiety over another autoimmune reaction. I sent reports to Ellen via kakao, photos of my nose abscess (which had poured pus from holes in my nose skin), my pathology and endoscopy reports, etc.
It was now up to Dr Seo. Ellen said they had never had a patient ask for removal as pdo are dissolvable. Dr Seo said why didn't I tell him yesterday about my autoimmune condition? I blamed myself for messing so many people about. I had come in hoping to get breast FT to repair my post en bloc implant removal but somehow agreed to ffg + threads on an impulse.
I said if not today I would have to buy another plane ticket, miss my Monday flight and pay for hotels but that I could not live with daily worry for 6 months.
The clinic was due to close at 5 pm on Saturday. Staff were tired. All eyes were on Dr Seo and I was weeping beating myself up for agreeing to threads and forgetting my body reacts to foreign bodies...
