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

[MissOrange]

Here is my b+a after radiesse dermal filler today for nasolabial creases, more pronounced on my right. The nasolabial area is a difficult area as fat graft does not last in this area and silicone paranasal implants can cause infection or rejection. This leaves a smas facelift which is very expensive and major surgery or adding volume with a dermal filler if the problem is loss of volume which in my case it is. Radiesse is made of calcium so is a natural substance and lasts 12-18 months. Be careful as sculptra filler is made from PLLA, the same synthetic material as used in PDO threads so I only get Radiesse. By adding volume to both nasolabial areas, it has the added benefit of lifting my jowls at the same time. I have ordered a hummingbird red velvet cake to try to push my weight up from 98.6 closer to 100 lbs to fully expand the facial fat graft.

Wow your results look so good? Can I ask why you are doing radiesse when you just had fats graft at MVP? Does fats graft not correct the nasolabial folds? Thanks for all your sharing, 121 pages, and that is dedication.

Hi @Valenrina, I enjoyed your blog and daily postop photos of your zygoma reduction which I studied intently as I was so close to getting it myself but realised with my metal allergy, my face may have reacted to the titanium screws. Your face is lovely and slim. I am stuck with my 14 cm wide face. The nasolabial area and the area around the mouth move so much that it is hard for fat graft to last. I drank 1-2 litres of water each day to expand the fat graft all over my face which worked from Feb 2018 when I had my first full face fat graft at MVP until Jan 2020 but after last month’s trauma of getting threads placed and then removed within a day of each other, my skin and soft tissues have been traumatised and the lower facial skin is now looser despite a fat graft top up because of my mistake getting 6 synthetic threads in and out. I am slowly gaining weight and continue to drink water but with a second casting tv audition this weekend, I need to look 20 a lot quicker. The quickest way is with radiesse dermal filler to the nasolabial fold which lasts 12-18 months. I still have not reached 99-100 lbs so my facial fat graft has not expanded to its fullest yet. The red velvet cake should be arriving any time today so the additional fat should get me to my target weight faster.

After eating red velvet cake Friday-Sunday, my lower face has expanded. This is my personal solution to sagging, eat foods high in fat for loose saggy skin to expand your fat cells.

Today's second post is a caution. Dr Lim who used to work at MVP has moved to Nana and may have allegedly received his final warning after a lady complained about her rhinoplasty with him. When my friend had her lip lift with Choi at MVP, one side was stitched beautifully but the other not which made her suspect that Dr Lim may have done one side as the contrast was that stark. Please do thorough research and talk to real former patients before choosing any surgeon.

On an even sadder note a 33 yo lady who had extreme FC, zygoma and v line elsewhere has +++ sagging which has made her homebound for months. She regrets getting FC as her cheeks did not even protrude on the sides. She felt pressured into getting FC by the consultant translator. She is flying back to korea for titanium implants to rebuild her face!

Please remember bone cutting will result in loose skin as you are losing the scaffold and your facial bones will shrink naturally as you age so you need bone for postmenopausal expedited bone loss or you may face extreme sagging in older age. Too often I am seeing postop results after v line where the angle is not sharp as the skin and tissues have then dropped and the person now has a double chin or sagging around the jaw. Dealing with sagging skin in your 20s or 30s is too soon! It may require a lifetime of fat grafting, threads or facelifts.

She did her fc at mvp ?

Can you pinch an inch of loose skin under your arms without flexing it @Fortunecat? It is good you have been doing weights. My right arm was 11 inches and flabby pre-op. I think the ideal is 10 inches or less. My right arm is 10 inches today 6 months post lipo and 9.5 inches on the left. Maybe if it gets to 11 inches, they will agree? You could stop doing weights and let your arms go fat and flabby, then they will agree?

@MissOrange The thought of that freaked me out. Ahahaha. I did not do any weights training on my arms over the weekends and my arm measured 10 inches. Hmm...

No, at another clinic.

Ah
Can you share the name ?

I would if I knew the name. All I know is she is getting titanium implants to rebuild her face at The Face Dental.

Another word of caution .. make sure an anaesthetist is administering your anaesthesia and monitoring you. And that your surgeon is board certified in plastic surgery. Is it worth risking your life to get half price surgery in korea? If the hospital is big, it may be a teaching hospital or use shadow doctors or dentists. If a clinic is too small, it may be one doctor who is not board certified with no anaesthetist. My life is worth the higher price in the UK for all surgeries that can be done in the UK. Korea is good for FC as the UK does not offer this.

I found a photo taken of me with no makeup on a professional Nikon camera on Feb 22 of this year before my red velvet cake binge weekend and radiesse nasolabial dermal filler to plump up the marionette line and nasolabial fold, respectively. The good news is that I have a natural v line so did not need v line shaving as suggested by Girin or a facelift after weight gain.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience at Fresh Miss Orange. I went there in 2019 and everything was great (Dr Hong did an amazing job on me) and I intend to go back soon.

Hi @Sara88,

Dr Hong at Fresh is excellent at facial fat graft and I have often named him and Dr Seo at MVP as the best in korea but was alarmed Dr Hong has no anaesthesiologist. You are comfortable with accepting this risk but many, especially those in the medical field in Western countries, are not as the risk of death is unacceptable and unnecessary. I wonder how much an anaesthesiologist would cost but surely if paying 4.4 million won to Fresh for breast fat transfer as I did it should include an anaesthesiologist to administer and monitor the effects of propofol, ketamine and midazolam (the same cocktail of drugs that were used in the HK heiress who died from the same operation, breast fat transfer)? In the UK, all anaesthesia for operations even iv sedation is administered by an anaesthesiologist. I was not prepared to risk death so cancelled 10 minutes before my surgery. Fortunately this only cost me loss of the deposit, ie 400,000 won or £280. Breast FT in the uk costs £4-5k or 7 million won but undertaken in a fully equipped private hospital full of anaesthesiologists, resuscitation equipment, ventilator, etc. ie first class service and the anaesthesiologist monitors and charts vital signs constantly during the operation and would immediately switch to intubation if the patient's oxygen sats started dropping. Breast FT in the US costs $9-11k.

I wonder why her sats dropped during lipo of the left arm? Did the surgeon injure the brachial artery? Did she suffer a fat embolism? Why did she bleed out from her nose and mouth? Why were there 2 doctors? Was one a junior doctor being supervised?
