Thank you for the response. You only had one session on your upper eyelid right? You look wonderful!
Hi @Dilya, hope this will spur you on to get bullhorn lip lift. I tried and tried to lift my upper lip to see my upper teeth but the philtrum skin was too long and redundant. See how I struggled to even smile. See the dramatic loss of facial volume that occurs shortly after menopause. Menopause with its dramatic drop in oestrogen wreak havoc on one's face and on the body may turn muscle into fat! Here is me at almost 55 looking 20s vs me at 49 before I started my quest to reverse the ravages of aging and look pretty again. It takes one seriously bad photo to realise you need to fix your face and this one did it for me. See how lip lift, eyelid fat graft, facial fat grafting, and rib rhino transformed my face. I am still holding off on facelift as I need to find the best surgeon for me when I need it.
@myldzz I had a top up during full face fat graft. Probably didn't need it but it was free as all included in one price for full face.
Hi @MOTTY26 the before picture was taken before I had chin shaving by Ion, before facial fat graft, before rib rhinoplasty, before lip lift etc. I weighed 99 lbs in the before photo, was postmenopausal and was dehydrated from drinking champagne. I hated my face and that was the impetus for booking rib rhinoplasty with chin shaving with Ion in Feb 2016, dealt with reop for the rib rhino complication, followed by upper bleph with lid fat graft at MVP May 2016, vermillion lip lift at MVP July 2016, full face fat graft at DA July 2016, top up Sept 2016 and so on and so forth. I would have had a facelift if a surgeon agreed but ASPS in Korea said no and Dr Amir in Kent said no at the time. I was not going to stop until I looked good again. In short the before was due to severe fat loss from postmenopausal drop in oestrogen combined with dehydration, ie growing old! I dare not go to a drinks event now without downing 500 mls of water beforehand and drinking a glass of water in between glasses of champagne. Seeing one’s face melt after a glass or 2 of champagne is traumatising!
You look absolutely gorgeous here!! Thanks for adding the info about Seo’s new clinic Machimpyo.
I recall your asking for Jun Ji Hyun eyes and Dr Seo did a marvellous job!I thought fillers were much more dangerous and have a higher chance of migrating than fat graft?Eg this lady had Restalyne to the upper eye and it ‘s still in place after 3 years, no top up! I know some places use Belotero though for precision. https://georgeyangmd.com/before-after-patient-case/upper-eyelid-filler-2662/
But I wouldn’t mind an upper lid fat graft if it looked like yours!
HA Fillers in the upper eye region have a strangely lower rate of migration and stay for years, mostly as the upper eye is not as mobile as the other parts of the face. But yes you must go to an expert who has done many of these procedures (like lasik, you want someone experienced) and preferably studied ocuplastics
Had no idea? I always heard the opposite and thought it was an absolute no-go. thanks.
Hi @sanarae, you can mention my name as a past patient of his but I am not affiliated with him or his clinic. It was the same problem getting through to mvp. I would call and ask for Ellen to kakao me, I would kakao her, etc. I assume it is the same with Machimpyo. You can try messaging @drseo on this forum, call his clinic, upload kakao as korea uses this messaging app over whatsapp etc.
