Here are my just over 6 months selfies without makeup. There is a slight downturn at the mouth corners but not noticeable from the front. I look younger than 26 in a t-shirt, shorts and trainers and certainly not 56. I have to be careful when I go out without makeup as I get treated like a kid! I literally fit into a size 11 yo boy's linen blazer or age 12/13 girl's clothing. I am that tiny. I keep wanting to go to university to study Korean or work in a hospital again as a junior doctor but I think my mind is playing tricks on me as it sees a young face in the mirror. It is like transitioning from old to young in looks as if I want to look my 'soul' age.

You look stunning…am sure part of it it’s genetics though, I don’t think we would dream of looking this young although I look much younger being 43!
Am considering to visit Korea for few procedures but am terrified of what I read online, and how unlucky am even with the simplest procedures turn out to be bad n here -Dubai- so I can only imagine what could possibly go wrong in that crazy market of SK!! I was wondering though though if you could help guiding to the right clinics /doctors
Am planning to go for mainly forehead reduction zygoma reduction & possibly blepharoplasty -not really needed- lip lift/corner mouth lift the last 2 procedures are relatively easier but could also go wrong if not with the right surgeon
But my main thing is the forhead n the zygoma reduction and maybe a mini lower face lift or any other possible options for my Jowls!! done threads here n did nothing

Your help will be really appreciated can’t even trust the agency at this point reading all the horror stories of how biased they are…
I know you referred 2 clinics MPV AND DA the 1st has lots of bad reviews the latter not sure if all the reviews are genuine
Thanks a lot again

@seoulsister you have a point! Omg 2 hours ago I took a selfie and for the first time in 5 years, I have finally regained the face MVP clinic gave me in July 2016!!! I have beaten myself up so much for ruining my face 3 days after the photo of me at age 50 for getting full face fat graft at DA clinic. And a tpfer told me I ruined my face with too much fat graft. Sigh. Well it has been a crazy 18 days going from a high fat diet and weighing 102.2 lbs with terrible sagging to a super low fat, high carbs and high protein diet with wearing a head compression garment and doing my facial exercises mouthing 'O' 'E' and now weighing 98.8 lbs 2 days in a row.

I shall keep my consult appointments as they are free and the train fares are non refundable and see what Dr Nick and Dr Amir say. To think Dr Bray's PA emailed me back in March saying I needed a £25k FL/NL!

I shall wait until next week and doll up to see how pretty I can look for my appointment with Dr Nick Rhodes in York. He might look at me and the saggy pics I sent and scratch his head in confusion and say there is nothing to lift? What happened?

I applied the free golden ratio app to the afters of postop ladies of Bray, Kremer and Nick Rhodes and the winner was Nick Rhodes. He made a 59 yo look 25 according to the golden ratio measurements for only £4995 (bleph+VR vertical macs FL).

The free golden ratio face app says I look 23 in the photo on the right. Yay 55 years old and still looking 20s.

I don’t understand your observations lol how did you possibly fairly assess the age outcomes of different women‘s b&a surgeries without matching their age and the exact time scale post op they were?? And I don’t believe the deep plane is inferior to the short scar smas lifts they don’t dissect deep enough deep plane is much better and no tension on the skin

I found this excellent explanation on a plastic surgery site of why we get saggy skin. With continuing facial bone loss as we age, getting zygoma reduction and v line may have consequences in later years. I can't imagine how caved in a face will look in one's 60s and onwards with natural aging bone loss on top of surgical bone reduction in one's earlier years. We simply do not have any 10 yearly follow up on bone contouring, especially after one hits 60. I cannot get zygoma reduction due to my fear of my body rejecting titanium but if I wait to my 60s, I may finally get a small face as my bones reabsorb with age.

Here is a skull at 35 vs 80 years of age. Really scary to think this much facial bone loss occurs as we age, especially in the mandible. With extreme bone contouring in Korea, what will the surgically thinned mandible look like when much older? Will the lower face simply collapse? Will one need a jaw implant but which surgeon would do that for a 70 year old? Is having a small face with bone cutting in one's 20s putting one at risk of facial collapse in one's 70s or earlier? Is having a mouth full of crowns over shaved down tooth pegs putting one at risk of becoming edentulous and hastening mandible bone loss? Icon Jaclyn Smith is 75 years old. Life is certainly not over in one's 70s. One needs strong facial bones as a scaffold for the facial structures and soft tissues. Sigh. Maybe I should not have shaved my chin with surgery as my jawbone needs all the bone it can get as I head into my 60s in 3.5 years time.

I have a small chin which doesn’t hold my fat and muscles on my face correctly so I have something called pseudo jowls in my 20s, so I think genioplasty would help and I wouldn’t need you to worry about bone loss

@MissOrange if you would do facelift again and let’s say money isn’t a problem, which place would you go for one? My mom wants a facelift but we have zero clue who is best at it

Hi @rosie8800, I am happy with my results with Dr Nick Rhodes in York, UK and would say whomever you choose, always take postop steroids for 5 days. I think it is a double bonus for me as he is also the most reasonably priced board certified plastic surgeon in the UK! I think @KCouture would be the best person to ask about facelifts in Korea. I haven’t had a facelift in Korea so cannot say who is best there.

Wow @Moon88 I had no idea TLPS closed. They do extreme facial contouring. No, I do not know anything about Saekim. I would recommend Girin for facial contouring.

I just found Saekim still exist in Seoul, I'm going to Seoul next month, I will ask for deposit refunds, may I know your thoughts about Girin? I need to do F2F consultation with all shortlisted clinics.

@Moon88 have f2f consults at View, Regen, Girin and Saekim. See which clinic you prefer. Girin is known to give a more 3D zygoma reduction ie a more Western face. Regen do extreme bone contouring but the cheeks are more flat. It depends on which look you prefer.

@Transformation2021 thank you for sharing. Always enjoy looking at b&a photos. I notice in Korea surgeons focus on removing nasolabial lines or folds with their facelifts but in the US and UK ladies are more likely to have remaining nasolabial lines after a facelift. I womder if the technique differs in Korea and if so how?

I've read at least 2 US plastic surgeons say removing nasal fold completely is not a 'natural' look. If that's natural, I don't want it. IMO nasal folds are the one of the most aging features. I can handle a wrinkly forehead (I don't have one) before I can handle nasal folds

Most likely they add fat transfers with the facelift
