I am over 6 months post one time breast fat transfer for £5,648 and have retained 100% (see my attached b&a). They now look perfect except... I am now looking into intralesional steroid injection as I have redeveloped hypertrophic scarring after surgery for the periareolar laser burn. I have a follow up appointment next week so hoping to get this done.
I have also been researching facelifts. Looks like there is a difference between smas facelift and deep plane facelift! Dr Jacono explains it as smas peels the skin off the face to then stitch up the smas layer vs deep plane does not pull the skin away from the smas. Am following a Londoner on Instagram who had her deep plane FL 10 days ago with Dr Bray and is posting videos daily! This is the best way to look at her before face in action vs after. However the prices are unaffordable for most ladies. Dr Jacono charges $120,000 and Dr Bray up to £26,000 for his clinic based deep plane face and neck lift. Traditional smas is cheaper at £14,000 with other surgeons. Cheaper still is Korea which charges between $9000 and $12,000 for a smas FL. Cheapest is Dr Oelbrandt in Belgium who charges €3-4K for a smas facelift. I have messaged Dr Dongmin Park to ask how much his deep extended smas facelift costs. I wonder if this is the same as deep plane?
I then looked at my face and in my 40s it was taut because I love sugar free chewing gum! I was doing my own facial jaw yoga! However this did not address the hollowing in my temples and upper lids which is where fat transfer comes in. I am now over 3 years post full face FT and top up 14 months ago. I am also back to chewing chewing gum after meals. I put together a comparison of me vs a Bray lady who is also 54. I would say the cheapest way to get a tight lower jaw is daily chewing gum or being a chatterbox! The next cheapest way is threadlift but this lasts 6 months to a year. Then comes fat transfer for $2k. I think this lasts as long as you keep your weight above the weight it was on the day of your surgery. I was not aware of this but luckily I weighed 95 lbs when I had my facial FT top up so it is easy to keep my weight above this, especially during lockdown.
The lip lift from 4 years ago which involved lifting the muscle layer too is still lasting so this is like getting a smas for the lips! Aargh I just spotted the sun spots. I need to do a glycolic acid treatment and dye my roots with L’Oréal Excellence light ash blonde 9.1.
