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

[Gats]

Good tips! I think some people may do procedures that provide a temporary improvement but in the long term may age them faster like aggressive v-line or facial fat removal. Regarding jaw bone loss, chewing strengthens your jawbone so if you do lose teeth, it's better to replace them with an implant as opposed to a bridge so the bone in that spot will receive the pressure from chewing still. Here's a quote from Colgate about it:

Implants also help prevent the jaw bone from deteriorating, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. When teeth fall out or are extracted, the jaw bone shrinks over time and changes the face's appearance and smile. An implant is embedded in the jaw bone, and using the new tooth to bite and chew stimulates the bone, helping to prevent it from shrinking. However, the false tooth in a dental bridge doesn't contact the jaw bone, so there may be bone loss.

Today is a sad day for me. I just found out and confirmed with Ellen that my Korean plastic surgeon Dr Hyo Seok Seo has left MVP clinic in Apgujeong. In my opinion, he is very artistic and creates beautiful natural Asian eyes and primary rhinoplasty. He is also gifted at anti aging facial fat graft, especially upper lid fat graft. I guess this means I better keep eating and never drop below 99 lbs as there will be no one good enough to do facial fat graft top ups. I shall have to keep my ears to the ground and hope to discover where his new clinic is in case I need help at age 60. I wish I had taken a decent selfie with him before he left but I was never in Korea long enough for a fully recovered postop photo.

Here is my 4 months post my last facial fat graft top up with Dr Seo I had back in January. I took photos on my 54th birthday. I miss him already. I was so lucky to have found Dr Seo, a great plastic surgeon in Korea in 2016 just before I turned 50 to fix my aging eyes which had already gone through multiple blepharoplasties in the U.K. and then to correct my facial fat grafts from another Korean clinic to add volume in the right places to enhance beauty.

Hi Miss Orange, How are you? hope you and your family safe. I have a couple of questions , apologies if you answered it before, but your thread is very long Anyways, if you take some time and drop a line. it would be awesome.
1. How long is a recovery from Full face FG? What I mean is when you can go out without any seconds thoughts that somebody will notice any procedure done to your face (besides, looking great)
2. If I decide to do Thread lift altogether with FG will my recovery be longer? if yes, approximate 1 week or longer?
PS: I know everybody heals differently, but it would be great to know how long (on average) should I plan to stay in Korea (when this madness with COVID-19 ends) . Do you think 3 weeks will be ok?

Thank you, I'm following this .

I came across this B&A after photoshop on boredpanda and am in shock! I researched to see what photoshop app they may have used and it looks like FaceTune app. But this defeats the purpose of plastic surgery as you want to look like your selfie in reality not live life as a photoshopped image? I rely more on my mirror than my phone to see what I really look like. The only problem is how to capture my true image as the Samsung Galaxy phone and iPhones use a focal lens that narrows faces and enlarges noses!

Even Kylie Jenner does not look like her photoshopped Instagram photo in real life!

Hi Miss Orange, thank you so much for the valuable information. I wanted to know if only do upper lip fat transfer without any surgery, is it possible to end up droopy saggy more?

Hi @plyever, I would not recommend lip fat transfer. The definitive procedure is bullhorn lip lift and the lip eversion will give you permanently fuller upper lips.

MissOrange,


I was thinking have my tattooed eyeliner remove before doing eyelids by Doctor Seo.
Your thoughts? Any one?

I have no relative in Korea, how do I arrange for pick up and stay while having surgery?
Thanks

Okay folks please remove Dr Bednar as a recommendation for breast fat transfer in North Carolina. I have just read a very long and detailed negative review by a 37 yo British lady who flew all the way to have her op with him. She writes that he does not operate in a hospital but in a tiny clinic and the anaesthetist is not a doctor but a nurse. Her photos of her b&a are clear evidence to back up her review. I am reposting what her tummy looked like after he harvested fat for her breasts which have left her with a left breast a cup size larger than her right. Hope she posts her review on RS. Dr B’s FB group does not allow for negative reviews. Thank goodness she found another group that would let her share her honest experience to warn others. To think I was debating whether to pay 50% deposit for the $11k surgery and fly to North Carolina myself! She like me had a bad feeling right before her operation. She was even invited to cancel her operation by the surgeon and his wife, but instead went ahead. I thank my angels that in that split moment, I chose to cancel my operation instead of risk breast lumps, oil cysts or an anaesthetic complication.

I have a consultation with Mr David Floyd booked next month. I think if I do go ahead with breast fat transfer, it has to be done in a U.K. hospital with a consultant anaesthesiologist too with proper recovery room beds. I am wearing a thigh compression garment as I seem to have developed a fat lump on my front right thigh?! I hope it flattens out. Fat cells tend to expand elsewhere when you remove fat cells from your body and I have had way too many inner thigh lipos for facial fat grafts.

How sad is that!! I was planning to go him!! Now looks like need More research, I am wondering if there are any good plastic surgeons about breast fat transfer in the US?

Hi @ceya,

You can ask Dr Seo directly. He has joined the forum. When he was with MVP, MVP arranged for pick up from Incheon by private taxi to take you to the clinic and your hotel. You can book hotels on hotels.com. I liked Gangnam Art Nouveau, California Hotel but next time I may try Best Western as my sister stayed there and they have room service!

@plyever try joining the FB group on fat transfer to breast. It seems to be hit or miss with Bednar and Burns, the 2 most prolific at breast fat transfer. The group which is not run by either surgeon discusses other surgeons as well.

Today's post is on using caution if relying on instagram photos to make plastic surgery decisions. Here is a social influencer brave enough to show her cellulite in bad lighting vs posed in good lighting. Maybe it is okay to look less than perfect.

 

[MissOrange]

How many of you take a zillion selfies to only post the best shot and delete the rest? It takes so much effort to style and dye one's own hair with salons closed during lockdown, to put on false lashes and makeup when one spends most of the week in front of the tv watching netflix (love in the moonlight) just to post an update selfie, as date night is out of the window with restaurants all closed in the UK. Looks like piling on weight (95.8 lbs up to 101.6 lbs now) stuck indoors is filling out my face and making me look younger still!

I am now over 4 years post Dr Seo's revision DES with lid fat graft and still loving my young eyes and 5 months post full face fat transfer top up by Dr Seo. A friend who hasn't seen me in 20 years kept falsely accusing me I was posting photos of my daughter (s) as myself until I reminded the friend that none of my daughters are blonde! lol. Yes you can look 20s at age 54 and I still have not had a facelift. Each time I pull my face back I look like an alien so am too scared to book a facelift yet.

My wish list is breast fat transfer with Mr David Floyd in London and mini thigh lift with Dr Oelbrandt in Belgium. I am waiting for my new consultation appointment to see Mr Floyd after my April appointment got cancelled by the clinic due to covid.

 

[MissOrange]

Yay! I have a consultation booked with Mr David Floyd for breast fat transfer at the end of the month! A couple of years ago his rate was £4k for one transfer and £6k for two transfers. This is close to the cost of flight, hotel and the 4.4 million won for breast fat transfer in Korea yet in the U.K. the operation is done in a private hospital with a consultant anaesthesiologist and 1 to 2 patient private nurse ratio. Dr Seo does not do breast fat transfer when I enquired at MVP and I am not prepared to pay $11k for breast FT in North Carolina with Dr Bednar in his clinic with nurse anaesthetist which with flights and hotel will cost even more. Also there is a ban on travel to the US. I did read a Tpf review on breast fat transfer at Fresh with photos and thought wow, maybe I would have been fine with great breast FT results had I not cancelled. Sigh. But I was shaking with anxiety over no anaesthesiologist so I guess it is best to have it done in the U.K. Although in the U.K. they put everyone under general anaesthesia in private hospitals so postop recovery is not as quick as with just IV twilight anaesthesia.

Finally after 24 years of 4 sets of recalled breast implants and explants, I can get natural breast fat transfer! It wasn’t invented back then. I have seen Mr Floyd’s patients on FB with really promising 6 month results and I like the shape he has created. His aesthetic seems to be breasts that look lifted like they have implants but are natural! My advice is not to try breast implants or you will be embarking on a long journey of implant ruptures and explants and FDA approval is no guarantee after FDA approved textured silicone implants were banned. At least with fat transfer it is autologous. As you can see from my photo my DD boobs have disappeared after en bloc explant!

After I recover from breast fat transfer, I can then book Dr Oelbrandt for mini thigh lift as his €2500 price is good for 1 year! And then at age 60 I shall get my first facelift and maybe by then they will have invented scarless facelifts!

Today’s post is on the importance of not being too skinny as you age. Youth is associated with chubby cheeks and a full face. Have you ever noticed that you look older if you get too skinny? Imagine how much worse it would be if you are post menopause and compounded by the loss of fat from drop in oestrogen too. The lesson then is to keep your weight up as you age to ensure your face has as much natural fat as possible to cope with the changes that come with the menopause. Here are examples of facial aging from extreme dieting.

Today’s post is a follow up photo comparison of arm liposuction I had a year ago with Dr Oelbrandt of Belgium. I love the results! I highly recommend him for liposuction! It took 3 months for the final results as the tumescent fluid had to reabsorb. Being told I have thin arms is a massive compliment and reminds me of when I was in my teens and 20s and had thin arms! Always best to try with the least invasive operation and no arm lift long scar first! In 3 weeks I have my consult with David Floyd for breast FT. I have reached out to 2 of his past patients. One has replied and had her breast FT 2 years ago and is still happy.
