Here is an extreme b&a. This shows what happens when fat graft dissolves in the lower face. It is very traumatic but instead of flying to korea repeatedly I have broken the cycle and got a lower FL. Let this be a cautionary tale about FG to the lower face. Don't! My weight is the same in both photos and I am sat on a train to York today on the right.

Hi @Lien I am on the train back. He didn't see any prolene but did find a little loop at the top corner of my ear. He kept saying how I had healed really fast and had an observing consultant plastic surgeon with. He said I have set a precedent to remove sutures at 3 days! lol. I said no it's only because I have eczema that my skin heals fast. He remarked that he had a patient with psoriasis who also healed fast. I told his guest that Nick was the best FL surgeon and had made me look really young at ....55! Lol. Loved how his guest was taken by surprise.

They will be offering a choice of local or twilight iv sedation VR FLs from the end of July as they are hiring a consultant anaesthetist intensivist, preassessment nurse, scrub nurse, recovery room nurse etc or one can save the additional £3000 for 5 mins of needle pain under local.

Enjoyed a lovely Chinese lunch at the Red Chili restaurant in York before boarding the train.

Always had a natural v line jaw but it was hidden by sagging skin after the lower face fat graft dissolved...Love how the lower FL reveals my v line. No wonder many who get a surgical.v line end up needing a FL or threads. Just a bit of cheek swelling left to go down hopefully soon. You can see how the fat graft remains stable in my forehead and upper lids. This keeps the upper third of my face looking young. I think this trumps a brow lift which does not address loss of volume. The upper lid fat graft not only fills the eyelid hollowing but lifts the brow. I keep drawing brow pencil below my brows as sometimes I think they are too high! lol. Beats having a scar in the brows too. Haven't put on makeup yet as want to keep my face as clean and sterile as possible. Need to get past the 2 week mark to be clear of risk of postop infection. I have completed a week's course of antibiotics.

For ladies who can get away without a deep plane FL, Nick Rhodes is the cheapest in the UK. For £7445 with Nick one can get a VR FL, upper bleph and lip lift! Then his fat transfer to upper lids and forehead for £995 means for £8440 one can do a complete facial rejuvenation instead of still need a brow lift, and forehead botox for frown lines and 11's. He discounts upper bleph to £1500 if combined with his VR. We have to teach Nick to inject the upper lid hollows with fat graft and not the tear trough and to inject the forehead horizontal skull ridge along with the temples like they do in Korea to give the flat forehead a rounded youthful appearance.

I mentioned emla local anaesthetic cream but Orla said it would not penetrate deep enough to where the needles go. She did say they can give temazepam sleeping pill sedative beforehand if really anxious. See I forgot to take my sleeping pill in my bag!

Korea has competition in York! lol. For deep plane FLs Korea is still superior but costs $15-20k.

Amazing miss orange. I was interested but apparently this facelift only concern jowl and I want to lift my middle face and neck also. Do you have any other surgeon to recommend for middle face and neck lift ?

Hi @Pakune, for neck lift I recommend Charles Durrant. He charges approx £6k for neck lift day case under GA at a Nuffield hospital. He is a board certified plastic surgeon and trainer. Just saw one lady's b+a and she looks fab with hardly any swelling! Haven't researched midface FLs.

Here are 3 examples of lifting procedures. I tried full face fat transfer repeatedly but each time the fat melts or reabsorbs in the mid and lower face leaving me with a shocking ageing sagging 3D cuboid face (left pic). Fat transfer only gives temporary youth and lifting with volume so again only get in your upper third of your face where it holds well for a permanently rounded forehead when your forehead becomes flat or a horizontal brow ridge appears with temple hollowing. Then I tried 6 threads but it gave me an unnatural alien egg shaped face (centre pic). Finally I tried 2 suture vertical macs facelift with excision of 5 cms of lower face skin which should last at least 5 years and have a young heart shaped face (right pic).
