Hi @K Couture, yes I was scared for the first 5 minutes as the pain from the deep needles was excruciating and then came the pressure of the cannulas being tunnelled under my skin, followed by the gushing sound of tumescent fluid being poured into my face and later repeated for the other side. But once in the feeling and pain went. I kept saying no way can I do this again. It is like childbirth. Now he offers twilight iv sedation but that adds up to £3k to the cost.

Why did you refuse the sedation, if I may ask?

I was short of time that day and just wanted to get it over and done with quickly. With sedation you gotta stay for like two at least until its out of your system then you can leave. With local anesthesia you can just walk out.

Also i hate needles in my arm. I dont mind it my face lol

Hi @K Couture, yes the advantages of local is no nausea or drowsiness. Are you on instagram? Would love to follow you. The number of plastic surgery ops I have had is 35 but I am 55 so it is more like 1-2 per year as I started in my 30s and some were revisions or implant exchanges for rupture, leaks or infection.

That is sooo true. I HATE the nausea and drowsiness post-op associated with sedation/anaesthesia! Ugh

@MissOrange , do you happen to know anyone in the UK who's great at facial fat transfer? I am due to go home to visit my elderly father and rest of the fam, maybe next year if not later this year. I'd like to do my forehead. The rest of my face is ok but my forehead is looking a bit wrinkly and bony and my temples hollowing.

@Tremere, Dr Dongman Park at the Bio clinic does extended deep plane FL for $15,000-$20,000 and has outstanding b&a results on Instagram. If there were no covid quarantine for arrivals to Korea, I would say fly to Korea. There is also Dr Lee at ASPS in Korea renowned for facelifts and a real Asian American lady posted her journey with Dr Lee on this forum.

If you cannot wait for Korea to open to foreigners without mandatory quarantine, then best to explore surgeons local to you. I have not found a patient of Dr Karri’s to chat with and in my opinion his photos are not as good as Dr Park or Dr Lee. But if cost is an issue, then he is the cheapest for deep plane at £7500.

Dr Michele Pascali in Rome has good Instagram results for deep plane facelift for around €15,000.

Hello MissOrange!!! First of, really happy with your results of FL = very very amazing beautiful results!!! Was smiling happy when saw the final results and seeing the progress of your great recovery with every new picture...

I have been reading about facial fat graft: heard good words on fat grafting in ASPS clinic, but I am not sure if it was about fat grafting there, or only FL good results in Seoul?!?
If yes whom would you personally recommend on facial fat grafting, or might be you would give a reference to site of ASPS clinic?
I've read the longest facial fat grafting results are after fat grafting with autologous stem cells, was it again mentioned in ASPS?

Hi @Lien and @K Couture I had threads under iv twilight sedation but awoke to excruciating pain that lasted until I had them taken out. The FL under local with 5 mins of pain on each side was nothing compared to the worst 24 hours of pain from threads. The pain scares me off a full smas or deep plane FL.

Dominic Bray turns an ugly duckling into the Duchess of Sussex. Jacono and Bray do FLs under local anaesthetic alone. Bray: However, as this is comprehensive deep plane surgery it is never rushed and can take up to 4 hours. That is a long time to lie in one position so I prefer to make the time pass comfortably for my patients with a little sedation.

Hi @Lien you must say Hi when you are in the U.K.! Yes, Vasu Karri of the Karri Clinic in Hull seems to be good at facial fat transfer. Here is a lady of his he suggested fat transfer instead of a facelift and she looks fab.

Hi @Dilya, I only know Dr Lee at ASPS is good at facelifts. Haven’t heard anything about their fat grafts. I have only had experience with fat grafts at DAPRS clinic and with Dr Seo when he was at MVP but he is now at his own Machimpyo clinic.

Hi @Transformation2021 are you sure it is just local? Surely they must use twilight IV sedation to dissect into the deep plane? The b&a also shows this DB lady had a rhinoplasty and lip lift which also reversed her aging. I wonder who did her rhinoplasty and lip lift. The rhinoplasty looks good and like many Korean actresses, a bigger Western straight nose can actually make the face appear even smaller! I can’t afford DB’s current £29,500 price for a FL/NL and platysmaplasty so I am super happy with my £3495 vertical vector macs facelift instead.

That's SHOCKINGLY good!! She looks like an entirely different person.

I'm just needing my forehead done. I have a fairly fat face already (didn't lose much baby fat, haha).

I will definitely say hi. Would love to meet up with you.

Thank you, @MissOrange .
