Good morning, @MissOrange , I've been meaning to ask you: how's your lipo and fat transfer going? Are you still happy? I had lipo to my tummy and a FT with a local surgeon here in Singapore when I had my implants removed. I still think it was the right decision to have a FT as I didn't want to end up with two deflated empty bags when my implants were removed. But I think the surgeon didn't do a very good job with the FT. My upper poles are flat/ even concave and now I have fat on my back on my bra line, when I never had fat before. It's hideous! (I used to have a beautiful back). My lipo was not great either, but after thousands of dollars of LPG/lympha massages, my tummy is not as hideous as it was before. I am now thinking I may pay David Floyd a visit when I go back to the UK, to remove my bra/back fat and fill up my upper poles. I might as well have my tummy fixed once and for all (though this is not as important as the others).

So, now I have 2 things I wanna have done in the UK: this FT to my boobs and a FT to my forehead & temples. I wonder which I should have done first, hmm....

Hi @Lien, I noticed my bra was too big or rather empty in the upper pole and realised I am now a 30e cup and no longer 32e. I think the breast FT has gone down a smidgeon in 1 year. The upper pole is not as full which makes me think fat sinks with gravity so it will be hard to achieve the implant look with just fat. My weight is 101 lbs or 2 lbs more than my op day weight, so it is not due to weight loss. 30e is still big for my petite frame so am still happy. Would even be happy with 30d!

Hi @Lien, the dissolvable monocryl sutures dissolve at 6 weeks and were placed subcutaneously to hold soft tissues under the skin closure. These would have dissolved. Surprised it made a difference though to the lift as I thought the 2 pds sutures on each side were suspending the smas. The pds sutures dissolve in 6 months but may not have been tight enough as the area was flooded with 40 mls of local anaesthetic that would have stretched the skin. This is my theory. As long as I don't get any bad saggy face days and don't have to drink tons of water to expand a deflated face with excess skin, I am content. I keep telling myself at least I got 5 cms of skin trimmed off. Although skin only FLs notoriously only last a year at most. The b&a of me without makeup of my before good face vs my after 6 week FL are now very similar.

Only 1 year?!!:shocked:

Does that mean that you'd have to have it redone fairly soon?

Glad to hear that, @MissOrange ! I'd be super happy if I could be back to a large C cup like I did with implants. Mind you, I'd be content with staying at B cup if my upper poles were fuller (or rather, not concave as they are now) and I had no back fat. I finally figured out why I have back fat now. My surgeon told me to go bra-less post op (almost as soon as) which I think is a big mistake as the fat then travelled to the back since I was lying on my back for so long post-op. So yeah, it definitely moved with gravity, but in a worse way than downwards towards the legs.

Made a short 6.5 week postop update video. I think I need to actually film the video directly on Instagram so it lasts longer than 60 seconds. Next time. As you can see I am hopeless on Instagram with just one like! Not sure why I have over 320,000 views of my thread here. Maybe I am a better writer than instagrammer?

A 44 yo Brit posted she had her breast reduction and lift in Thailand so I looked up the clinic she went to. The prices are cheap! Her result looks fab on realself which got me thinking, wow, she combined a 2 week sun holiday with plastic surgery with a breast surgeon expert at male to female transitions so he shaped her breasts beautifully. We know Thai ladies are gorgeous so their plastic surgeons must be incredible and even cheaper than in Korea. Yet I had no idea where to begin with researching Thai surgeons until @Londonlou posted her results on realself with full breast show and nothing covered up! Brave! I am thinking I paid double and ended up with nipple ptosis as a donut lift or periareolar mastopexy is like a nipple skin lift as the tension is too much on the areola and it ends up dropping within 6 months. In my opinion any nipple placement has to be supported by a vertical lollipop or full anchor lift or the scar may be wide and the nipples drop. https://phuketpsi.com/procedures/breast-lift/

How do you reinvent yourself when you look 30 years younger? Do your adult children become your stepchildren and you the young second wife? The public will not accept you are 55 or 60 if you look 25 or 30. You cannot say you are retired looking 25. But what do you say if asked what you do for a living? Housewife? Unemployed? Student? Life can get very complicated. Then comes prejudice if they think you are the young second wife who just spends her older husband's money and doesn't work. Sigh. And what if a younger guy makes a pass? What happens when you outlive your older husband? Do you date men your age who look like your father or grandfather or date a younger guy who lacks your maturity and hide your passport and driving licence from him? There are many consequences to looking 30 years younger but the pros outweigh the cons. Who wouldn't love to stay looking 20s forever?

I went back to Seoul last month for free eyelid fat graft top up with MVP clinic as my eyelids started to hollow a little and top up was included in the original 3 million price back in May 2016. Here is what I look like less than 2 weeks post top up. This time Dr Seo took fat from my tummy through my belly button. The white cream is hydrocortisone 1% which seems to help with my raised bullhorn scar.

Hello Miss Orange.... is your upper eyelid fat still surviving or you had to go for touch-ups??

Hi @babykyoong, my upper eyelid fat has survived for years now. I only ever had one touch up. I will never need a brow lift with the fat keeping my brows lifted too! I don’t understand why people get an incision subbrow to lift their brows? Or a temple or forehead lift to raise their brows? To me this seems so extreme. Just have a little fat transfer to expand the upper lid and this will raise the brow back to its youthful position as it is the loss of fat that has made the brows sink.
