Hi @queen82, thanks! I got this face lift from Dr Nick Rhodes, a board certified plastic surgeon in the town of York, in the U.K. I took a 2 hour train from London and his clinic is walking distance from the rail station. I stayed at a travelodge halfway between the rail station and clinic for my op. I found a fantastic Chinese restaurant closeby that served the best duck noodles I have ever tasted! He can do free zoom consults for those overseas. He doesn’t accept everyone so if you are lucky to have him agree to do your facelift, then it is like winning a golden ticket as he charges only £3995 now and that includes a free goodie bag including dressings and antibiotics! No extra charge and no consult charge either. Incredible. Every day I notice what it is like to look beautiful! I had a grocery delivery to the door and as I took out the items from the crate, the delivery guy stood there and kept staring at my face! I thought what’s wrong with my face? And then forgot my face is now pretty! Men stare at pretty faces! Lol. https://www.coppergateclinic.co.uk/about-us/specialists/mr-nick-rhodes

Hi @queen82, it is good to keep some ugly befores because one forgets after getting a new face! Here is a b&a that shows what a difference a vertical vector smas facelift can make. An incredible transformation for £3495! No paying £15k, £29k, $50k, $120k. Why are we paying men to be multimillionaires??? I found a surgeon who wants to help ladies look good again and charges the bare minimum to cover costs!

Amazing, did he say why he charges such a fantastic rate?

He also offers fat transfer Full Face From £1,995! I wonder if he's good at that as well.

Hi @J Cn

Today is day 2 after CO2 laser to my periareolar scar. Looking promising! I have put together photos of before showing the wide pinkish red scar, then day 1 when I freaked out, then today day 2. I googled CO2 aftercare so between pics 2 and 3 applied copious amounts of vaseline and covered loosely with a melolin dressing.

If this works, ladies will be queueing up for CO2 laser with Dr Declan Collins, the board certified consultant plastic surgeon with special interest in burns and laser treatment of scars! He said final results should show by 14 days. Fingers crossed! He said the stronger CO2 laser takes 2-3 goes at 5-6 month intervals and that IPL which is milder and does not need local anaesthesia takes 6 goes at monthly intervals. I chose CO2 as nhs appointments are spaced out between 2 and 5 months.

Steroid injections flattened the raised hypertrophic scars but then once flattened, it spread and looked wide and pink as per pic 1. So maybe treat scars with steroid injections first to flatten and then CO2 laser to remove the wide pink scar colour? Mr Collins has a private practice too in London.

I have been watching the K drama Boys over Flowers about a poor, short, unattractive Korean girl attending a prestigious private high school on a full scholarship. I thought wow rings a bell and pulled my school photo from age 16, short, unattractive and poor attending a prestigious private high school in USA. If I can transform then so can you!

I then looked at a recent collage of me at age 55.5. Some people look better as they age with a little bit of help! ;)

I will never have facial fat graft ever again. When I flew to Korea in Jan 2020, View, Girin and Namu all said I needed a facelift. They were all correct. I liked Namu the best as the surgeon was adamant I did not need bone contouring, ie zygoma reduction. He wanted to do a smas FL for 9 million won including accusculpt to remove excess cheek fat. Had I proceeded it would have given me a great natural result as his many b&a's of Westerners showed refreshed and rejuvenated faces and the consultant wanted to show me the many thank you emails they got for his facelifts. But at the time I was not ready to spend 9 million won. Here I am back in Jan 2020 sitting in a View waiting room taking a photo of my mirror reflection. Pretty obvious I needed a facelift.

Why did I need a lower facelift? I think it is because I had full face fat grafts. After each cycle the skin is stretched, more so with swelling and then when it goes down, looks great temporarily until the fat dissolves and one is left with a deflated face with resultant lower face skin sagging. I think fat graft only works for foreheads and upper eyelid hollows.

The next photo is after arriving back in the UK after flying 2 days after full face fat transfer. Flying between days 2 and 3 when swelling is at its worse only aggravates the swelling. Because I have had fat grafts before I knew the swelling distortion would go away but even my OH could not bear to look at my grotesque face which resembled a guest on Botched.

2.5 weeks later the swelling was gone but then I was left with an even more deflated and sagging face. I used water consumption and smiling to lift up my face from 2020-2021 until I realised I needed to stop the cycle of full face fat grafts and instead fix the stretched skin with a face lift.

I know some of you are exploring full face fat graft but in my opinion it should only be done to the top third of your face.

I think Madonna may have had full face fat graft as with weight gain, the fat grafted cells in the face swell and cause the eyes and nose to look a lot smaller and cheeks wider.

Let this be a cautionary tale. Thank goodness I got a facelift 18 months after my trip to Korea to cut off the excess stretched skin and pull up my smas. Now my OH and I can bear to look at my face. Last photo is the home cam taking a photo. The distorted swollen face was also taken by the home cam so the comparison is quite telling.

Hello Miss Orange, you look absolutely stunning by the way after your facelift! Can I ask what is the name of the good surgeon you saw for consultation at Namu please? I know that in SK are the best at not leaving visible scars? I am 38 and been contemplaiting. Also I wanted to ask if there is anything that can be done to lift a bit the mouth corners. Mine are a bit down since I was a baby, and of course it got worse with age. Many thanks in advance.

@MissOrange Hello! Would you still recommend your bullhorn lip lift doctor Caroline Mills for lip lifts? I was interested in Dr Mascaro but my consultation isn’t until 11/2022 and my projected surgical date is 7 months after my consultation. I find that to be a very long wait and I would much rather forward with another surgeon that is just as good. Please let me know your thoughts. I live in the USA and I don’t mind travel anywhere for my beauty maintenance. Ladies chime in if you have any bullhorn lip lift surgeons that you recommend! thank you in-advance!
