That time to compare my face to my icon Han Ye Seul. Bear in mind I am 56 and she turns 42 this month. Looks like my nose is small and short compared to hers. I asked Dr Hyo Seok Seo to give me her eyes. Pretty good as I do not have fake eyelashes to match hers here.

You still getting with Doctor Seo? I plan to have my eyes done next year. What season should be best for that?
Thank You!

Hi MissOrange, may I ask the threadlift types you may recommend? If you can advise the difference between Tess lift and Elasticum lift? Was recommended by 2 different clinic. Not sure if which is better. Thank you.

I have noticed numerous ladies who have had facelifts end up going back on regular fillers and botox as the years go by. This may be because the face continues to lose fat and bone every year after menopause. This may also explain why Dr Amir Karam does facial fat transfer with his facelifts to address the loss of volume. This suggests that ladies who have facelifts postmenopause may need to consider addressing continuing volume loss with natural fat, fat transfer or fillers.

Hi I just discovered your thread. Thanks a lot for sharing your journey. Is it very informative!
You mentioned a few times menopause. I just wonder if you've tried hormone therapy? Like getting your hormone numbers by blood tests and getting supplements for what is lacking.
This can doa huge difference in skin appearance

Hi @glowup2021 I can recommend Dr Seo, now at Machimpyo, who did 2 of my facial fat transfers and Dr Hong of Fresh seems to get good results too but he is not a board certified plastic surgeon so maybe Dr Seo is best.

I would not recommend Dr Kim at DA clinic as his results were variable for my 3 facial fat transfers so I suspected I may have had a shadow doctor. Don't be trapped by prepaying for 2 fat transfers as the top up may be done by someone else or you may not like the results of the first transfer but be stuck as you prepaid for 2 like I did.

Hi @Puffy517, yes I tried HRT patches March to July but had bleeding and severe breast pain after 3 months on HRT so reduced to half a patch then stopped. I subsequently learned that the patch has norethisterone, a progestogen with the highest risk of breast cancer. And that the patch has the same risk of cancer than HRT pills. Then my friend got diagnosed with breast cancer this year and thinks it is due to her HRT. I am fortunate that my face still looks good without HRT.

I'm interested too! I heard elasticum is a permanent thread that lasts just as long as regular facelift (korean sites claiming 5-10 years) but theres a small incision at the temple, which sounds better than a visible scar around the ear

Hi pretty @MissOrange. Can you tell how's the fat transfer to your breast currently? Has the fat survive?
I'm still looking Asian surgeon who can remove the breast implant with the whole capsule, please inform me if there's any.
I wonder why Korea doesn't have this surgeon since they are quite advanced in cosmetic surgery

Do not do threadlifts! If you need your face lifted you may have excess skin that needs trimming and 1-2 threads on each side will not hold over time. Only do a lower facelift with smas.

Hi @beautifullife1712,

Yes the breast FT is surviving at 2 years and 1 month now. I was a 32E postop and now a 32D or 30E at 96 lbs weight. I was 99 lbs for my op.

Maybe find an oncology breast surgeon in Korea as they would know how to remove the capsule too. Then find a fat transfer plastic surgeon to fill at 6 months once your breasts have healed.

Dear @MissOrange I heard many stories of un-surviving fat transfer in Korea, especially to the breast area. Besides the diet you've done post-operation, do you think there was anything different in your fat transfer process? Maybe the doctor has a different technique toward the harvested fat, or any other different technique from the korean surgeon?

Hi @beautifullife1712, many other surgeons use tumescent fluid to suction out the fat for grafting as it is easier and faster. My surgeon did it the old fashioned way with just suction which take skill, effort and takes hours. I think I was under for 5 hours! I think the tumescent fluid makes one think one is getting bigger breasts but actually when the fluid and swelling go, what is left is the fat graft which is not as much as if one only suctioned fat and injected that into the site. Also my surgeon chose fat from my resistant fat areas. My thighs seem to store fat no matter how much or how little I weigh. By choosing the fat area with stubborn fat, these fat cells are more likely to survive.

thanks a lot for the valuable knowledge, I hope I'll pass this implant removal soon and can have a successful fat transfer as successful as yours
