How to go from 50+ to looking 20+ with plastic surgery rejuvenation.

Thank you Miss Orange in the end I decided to travel to London next month to have my Rhinoplasty with Jag Chana. It is so hard to decide on a surgeon and all of your research here is much appreciated.

A couple of years ago I saw the 1980s model Marie Helvin in London and felt quite sad at how gaunt her face was, she would have been 65 and was exceptionally slim and it had taken a toll on her face.
I remembered the old french saying attributed to Coco Chanel, “A trente ans, une femme doit choisir entre son derrière et son visage.” You will not have this problem @miss Orange you can stay slim and still have the full face of youth.

But the Hair stylist….hmmm I would not always take notice of other people, to have beauty sometimes provokes envy, but to keep beauty into your fifties and beyond and to still appear to be in your twenties is outrageous! I imagine you must leave some people fuming with jealousy. The average 56 year old will feel threatened to have someone of their age looking the age of their grand daughter!

Now I hope that you will start making plans for your age 70 facelift, because it would be quite appropriate if you started your own discreet surgery advisory service and people could pay a fee to ask for advice, using not just your medical background but surgical experience. It is such a minefield trying to find a surgeon and get good advice. There is a huge gap in the market for something like this. All of the fees from your advisory service will pay for the age 70 rejuvenation. Although I'm not so sure you don't just have a portrait in the attic that ages like Dorian Grey. :giggle:
 
I have requested a copy of my operation notes but have received no operation summary 2 months after my request. Instead I got a text from Nick saying he did a smas plication. I was a little upset as no time was smas plication discussed in the consultation room on the day of the revision or on the consent form I signed for the revision. My understanding was he was going to do a retightening on January 31. I already have cheeks full of fat graft, so a smas plication may not be ideal for me as it would add more volume to my cheeks when the smas layer is folded over and sutured in place in the cheeks. I am hoping when the pds sutures dissolve by May 31, that my smas will unfold and my cheeks will look less round and fat. My hair stylist said your body is very thin but your face looks fat! Aaargh.

Aw, no, don't bother about the hairstylist and her remarks. Your cheeks don't look fat. They certainly do not look like the filler type of chubbiness. You look lovely and very naturally 26 years old!

@GrumpyOldMan Good luck with your rhinoplasty with Jag next month! Is he doing a rib rhino or ear cartilage rhino? Are you getting an open or closed rhino? Is this a primary or revision?
 
I may need to revisit ASPS clinic. I forgot they are well renowned for facelifts! Here is a b&a which includes fat grafting. The prices are more affordable than the Bio clinic. That could be me at 70 on the left and then looking 30 again on the right! lol. The formula is correct. The lady had upper bleph with lid fat graft like I had 7 years ago with Dr Seo, the full face fat graft has added volume back to her deflated face and then the lift has completed her reverse aging process.

@miss Orange, please can I just confirm that initially, you started out with:

1. Upper bleph
Was skin removed? How much skin was removed? Did you have a brow lift?

2. Fat transfer
Whole face or just around the eyes is recommended? When one says whole face, which areas of the face would that include?

Lid fat transfer would be to the eyelids only? I am afraid of puffy eyes though. Sounds silly and crazy. I am clueless.

Thank you so much. I am only just starting out and sometimes, it can be so confusing.
 
I am just over 3 months now and have been on HRT for 7 weeks now. I thought I would do a comparison of VR1 vs VR2 with HRT. Interesting! Can’t tell if it was the HRT or the extra skin trim in VR2 that makes VR2 look better than VR1 with its marionette line and jowl. I found out that PDS suture only has 25% of its tensile strength at 6 weeks! And it is all gone from 130 days. I am approaching May 31 when I will truly know if the smas holds past 4 months without any pds sutures left.

Non-surgical all done with radio frequency skin tightening and injectables

View attachment 5395596
@Transformation2021 the word radiofrequency scares me as does microneedling.

I am now exploring testosterone replacement to bring back my genius IQ! I had no idea it is the third female hormone that needs replacing after the menopause and how 1 in 4 women have reduced hours or quit work due to memory problems after the menopause!

Here is Dr Zoe Hodson explaining why testosterone is vital to replace so the brain works after menopause to prevent dementia in women!

I have asked for a referral to chelwest menopause clinic to get started on testogel for myself! My memory is so poor I have to write something down within seconds or it is gone from my brain!

With 2 days to go to wedding photos, I may need to inject radiesse into my nasolabials as I am back down to 94 lbs and my lower face is looking gaunt! Although I am worried as my brother flew in from America and saw my face and said did I get cheek injections? OMG! My cheeks must look so fat when I smile or laugh! Do NOT get smas plication if you already have a round face!

I love how your surgery has turned out! Maybe try to hold off on extras until after the wedding. I don't see your face being gaunt. But that is me though. I am super cautious and go by the mantra: less is more. I think you are so gorgeous already! I would love to look as gorgeous as you when I am your age.

I think when it comes to our faces, we are more critical, perhaps? Maybe we see more flaws, but others passing by will only focus on the total look of a face and see a pleasant or meh look. I think one would have to peer very closely at a face for a while to pick out any awful bits, in which case, at that level of nit-picking, every face would have its flaws.

Haha, I am one to talk! Particularly when I am at times (around the time of my period, usually and I wonder why) convinced that I have a fat lower face when everyone else says the opposite.

Have a glorious time at the wedding! You have worked hard and deserve this celebration of yourself too, as the mother of the bride (who looks like the sister, more likely). :smile:
