How many times did you do fat transfer to get your upper lids fully filled minus reabsorption?
I had a lip lift ten years ago but I think I need a revision. When I smile, I can see the scar right at the nasal septum. Wonder if that can be improved.

I have now lost 2 lbs of weight in 8 days since Monday's horrific saggy face. I am never eating fat ever again! My diet is now back to alpen bran cereal with oat milk (no dairy fat) for breakfast with black coffee, lunch is noodles with OJ or strawberries and dinner is wholewheat spaghetti with lloyd grossman sauce or rice with seaweed sheets and salmon and salad. I am sworn off pastries, cake, ice cream etc. It is too dangerous for anyone who has had facial fat graft to the cheeks!

I have booked a full head of blonde highlights for Thursday. I can't get comfortable with brown hair. It doesn't reflect the sun as well as blonde hair and it is super hot in London this week...well 25C. I am also wearing spf 50 on my face and body in the hot sun to protect the skin, collagen and elastin.

Here is my 8 days b&a after I lost 2 lbs of fat weight, went completely fat free and wore my head compression bandage watching netflix in bed.

Why is eating fat bad for fat graft?

I have now booked a vertical vector VR facelift under local with Mr Nick Rhodes in York for July 5. He trained in maxfacs and plastic surgery and is plastic surgery board certified. His prices start at £3490 for a vertical FL and I have chatted with and seen photos of 2 ladies who had FLs with him recently and they look natural and fab. One lady is almost 60 and looks like a teenager now!!! Incredible transformation. It is a 2 hour train from London so I have booked a night at a hotel by the rail station for after surgery. My virtual consult is on June 19. To book the surgery, I had to send multiple views of my face via WhatsApp for him to study. As the longevity of facelifts is unpredictable and can vary from 5-15 years, I am starting with the least invasive FL. It sounds like a macs lift or a smas plication. Studies have shown that for ladies 50-59 and 60-69 smas lifting is more attractive than deep plane and for over 70s, the deep plane lift looks better. Having it under local means less swelling, less bruising and less facial distortion. The recovery should be quicker. Looking at his postop photos it looks like ladies recover by 5 days postop. He uses dissolvable sutures for those with sensitive skin so no need for staples. They have suggested I may need facial lipo too. But I may just stick to the FL as I want to do the minimum for the lower face skin sag.

Here is his IG patient.

Hi @mmsnyc I am in London. Yes I tried ultherapy in korea. It was too painful and accelerated loss of the lower face fat graft.

Here is a timeline from ages 25 to 50 (bleph+lid fat graft +lip lift at MVP) to 55 in May and 55 in June with my hair dyed back to blonde. I am 9 years postmenopause. The chin shaving at age 49 may not have been necessary as the bone reabsorbs post menopause. I fear for those who got extreme v lines in Korea for when postmenopause accelerates facial bone loss. I may need to consider topical oestrogen but first will try an entry level lower facelift with the VR vertical macs lift in 27 days time.

Anyone know when S.Korea will be ok to travel again without the mandatory 14 day quarantine at a government facility?

ask the Korean embassy’s near by, email them, I email last week, even vaccine in US needs to quarantine. I think September should lift the quarantine rules, just my opinion, who knows this quarantine rules might stay forever

This is brilliant news, made my day - really excited for you.

Cheaper, local not general, maybe even better results than you know who and sutures. Doesn't get better than that! Good luck MissOrange :smile: Try to remain calm :smile:

@seoulsister The surgeon wants to see me for a F2F consult on June 19 in York prior to the VR FL on July 5. I have lost weight from 102.2 lbs at the saggiest to 98.8 lbs. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. I shall find out in 11 days. I hope to get his VR, as prices are going up again in the UK with Bray charging £29,500 for a deep plane FL/NL in Kent! British ladies are struggling to help each other find reasonably priced FLs.

My plan is this VR FL to last from 55-60 and then Korea's Dr Dongman Park for an extended deep plane which should last from 60-75 as he has recently revised a lady of his who had a 15 yo FL with him previously!
