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

[shruthi]

Hi @shruthi, Dr Hyo Seok Seo did my eyelid fat graft and revision DES with ptosis correction and my full face fat graft with top ups. Dr Lucian Ion did my rib rhinoplasty to add height and projection and raise the tip and also shaved my chin bone as my chin was too pointy and strong. I know Korean ladies would die for a V line with a pointy strong chin! lol. Dr Caroline Mills did my dramatic bullhorn lip lift with lip eversion. Dr Nick Rhodes did my facelift. But if you get a facelift only do with postop steroids to stop any facial skin stretch from swelling. And for my body transformation, Dr David Floyd gets my praise for my breast fat transfer and lower body liposculpture. Hope this helps. x

Thanks for the information, Missorange . It was very helpful
I am interested in getting a facelift and other needed surgeries to look little bit young (or should I say less old ). Can you suggest what procedure would help me the most. I am posting my picture here . I am of Indian origin and have a thick skin. I do not know what kind of facelift would help me. I also like to correct my asymmetrical nostrils resulted from a Rhinoplasty (20 years ago). Your suggestions on this and other procedures would be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Hi @shruthi, yes I agree to rhinoplasty to correct the collapsed alar (nostrils) and full face fat graft as there has been a loss of fat in your forehead, temples, upper cheeks etc. I don’t think you need a facelift yet. Yours is more a need to replace lost volume with aging.

Hi @MissOrange after reading through *ALL* of the pages, I'm getting a fat graft to my breasts tomorrow (in addition to full body lipo). Any tips for making the fat graft a success? Like, not wearing a bra etc?

Hi @yellow-sesame well done on reading all the pages! Do you know if your surgeon is using tumescent liposuction or traditional liposuction as it affects the amount of fat one is left with after deswelling. I would only go for traditional liposuction.

Here is a screenshot from a year ago of my advice. I am now over 2 years post and still retaining which is amazing as I now weigh 5 lbs less than on my op day!

Thank you sooo much @MissOrange !! I'm getting full body liposuction so will need to exercise/lose more weight post-surgery I think, but I will definitely follow the rest of the advice to a T. You really are such a well of knowledge

It has now been a full 8 months since I had the cheapest facelift (£3495=$3600= 3 million won) with free retightening in the world by a board certified plastic surgeon and it is still holding up nicely. Postop steroids for a week is a must to prevent skin stretch reversing the facelift and only £9.35 on a NHS rx or a bit more on a private rx. I do not advocate deep plane FLs as it causes too much disruption to the deep tissues and structures and you may struggle to find anyone willing to touch another surgeon’s deep plane revision. The fault is the laxity of skin and smas muscle layer so it makes sense to trim the skin and to pull up the smas and either fix it with rows and rows of dissolvable sutures which get replaced by scar tissue or do a smasectomy to cut and trim the muscle layer. I am not an advocate of contributing to a plastic surgeon’s rolls royce or flash ferrari or a multimillion pound condo by the beach! My advice is to stop facial fat grafts at 2-3 max and then go for a facelift. The more fat you put in, the more the skin will stretch and the faster the need for a facelift.

I have had a week of very bad insomnia so am biting the bullet and going back on HRT but this time it is the evorel 25 patch and the natural progestogen utrogestan which has the least risk of cancer. I found a top breast surgeon who also advises evorel patch or gel with utrogestan! Hopefully my hair will stop thinning as it is aging when I get blowdries which accentuate how fine my hair is getting. I have researched further and it looks like if I quit HRT in less than a year, the risk reverses so that is my plan for now. What I did not know and learned is that the natural risk of breast cancer is 1 in 50 at age 50 and 1 in 11 at age 80! Aging is a risk factor in itself for cancer!!!

Hey MissOrange, what are your thoughts on fat transfer to face in 20s-30s?

I had it done once when I was 25 in SKorea which didn't hold up at all (I was losing weight at the time), so again at 28 but very small amount to pad under the eyes... now at 32 its sunken again... wondering if it needs to be "topped up" but also worried it could be stretching my skin?...

Hi @MissOrange, greetings to you. I just had a full face fat transfer on Monday. Was told that maximum of 50cc pure fat was harvested from each inner thigh. I'm 38 this year, 149cm and weight 47kg. Now I am so anxious that if 50cc pure fat from each thigh may create any irregularity later (I did not do much research on lipo before procedure). My thighs are slightly swollen but they are not painful. I am in my compression garment 24/7 since day 1 post op. I wonder based on your experience, if 50cc fat harvested from each inner thigh is too much?

Thank you!

Don’t worry, it’s such a small amount and you won’t even notice it And it’s from the inner thigh so even less likely. That’s 25cc each! I had mine from my abdomen and couldn’t tell the difference.

Looking flawless..Ms Orange am utterly gobsmacked at how incredible you look. May I ask which U.k surgeon did your lower lid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning for under eye bag? Was it trans conjunctival? As well as your abdominal liposuction who Was your surgeon? Did you notice any lumpiness of skin/ irregularities/ tethering after abdominal lipo? Many thanks as always

Thanks, @Mimmiesmama! That’s very reassuring

Hi MsOrange, may I ask if its convenient for you to share total price you paid for your eyelid fat graft and revision DES with ptosis correction and full fat graft with top up pls? For the top up did you have to pay seperately, and how many months later did you do top up?

Do you recommend hairline lowering too?

Also for someone in late 30s - do you think smas face lift/elasticum lift or any lift is suitable?

Thank you!!

Hi @Everly07

I paid in low season 2016 so bear in mind prices may be higher in 2022. I paid 3.5 million won for the eyelid fat graft, revision des and ptosis correction. I had full face fg with DA in 2016 with top ups in 2016 and 2017. I paid them 3 million won (with free top up in 2 months) and then 1 million with hard bargaining in 2017 when they demanded 5 million on the day of the surgery. I then paid Mvp for full face fg in 2018 and 2020 with multiple procedure discounts for getting 6 threads at the same time in 2020. I think mvp's rate was 2-2.5 million for full face fg and 1 mill for top ups. In hindsight the swelling from the first full face fg set in motion the need for repeat fat grafts to reinflate a sagging face. My advice is only add fat to the forehead, temples and upper lids and do a lower facelift.

I have not researched hairline lowering so cannot comment on this. I guess the choices are hair transplant or hairline lowering or endoscopic forehead lift.
