MiisO do you take enough calcium? Although no one talks about lack of calcium as a cause of hair loss but if you don't consume enough calcium, especially in your menopause, you will see hair loss. My hair loss stop after I started adding a good calcium supplement. I take at least 250 mg, twice a day. Also get your blood ferritin checked. If your hair loss is androgen related you may benefit from taking saw palmetto and stinging nettle. But start with calcium first. You will notice some results in number of hair falling out in a week. Also if you take anti-histamine it will mess with your hair cycle.

Thank you @EvaCandy! Wow I take fish oils and Vitamin D but never thought of calcium. Although I do eat ice cream daily despite being lactose intolerant as I love H-D's praline and cream flavour. I will give calcium supplements a try.
Today's post is a fun post on trying to copy hys's ig pose. Instead of obsessing over the need for zygoma reduction, I have used hair and camera angles to try to match her small face. She also uses a hand, hair, reclining and angle to create a lifted look. I haven't got her eye make up matched as I don't have pink eyeshadow. Will get lighter blonde highlights on Tuesday. Can't do anything about my shorter chin as I got my chin bone shaved and do not want to put a chin implant in. Looks like I need to make my lips smaller too with less lipstick.

Here are my latest photos 9 months post ulthera and 4th full face fg. The eyelids are still full. Yay. My weight yesterday was 100.6 lbs or almost 4 lbs more than when I had the surgeries in Feb at 96.8 lbs. Somehow the combination of natural fat weight gain and after effects of ulthera with 4th fg top up have created a facial harmony that looks like a lifted face with high cheekbones! As I said before fg is like an entity of its own with good days and bad days and yesterday was a good day. No wonder I keep getting turned down for a smas facelift and get the "what ya talking about young girl?" look when I ask at clinics in the uk and Korea. Remember if your face starts to sag rule out dehydration, sudden extreme weight loss or sudden extreme weight gain. Remember aging is due to loss of volume from the face! And try to find the right balance of healthy weight for the optimum fat in your face to create a natural lift...too much weighs down the face and too little deflates the face causing skin and neck wrinkling and sagging. In the last photo I am leaning forward and no lower face deflation! The good news is that I can eat more now to stay at this 100 lb weight or bmi of 19.

Be careful. Read studies on calcium supplements. This is the same calcium which HARDENS YOUR ARTERIES!!! Better to get it from food like sardines, cheese.
Kudos to her. Jane at 80 strutting her stuff. I mean look at the hot bod.
Most ppl at 80 need walkers but she's confidently strutting her stuff without even worrying about tripping on long hem sweeping the ground in her stilettos.
Jane is incredible! I remember she had a fitness video. Good on her to keep motivated at 80!
And the ***** (calling her that as she's currently making waves comparing ***** to Hitler when she betrayed American troops during 'Nam) made over US$100m the series of exercise vids. Can you believe it?
Menopausal women need at least 1200mg of calcium to prevent bone loss. There is no way we can reach this limit only from food. Also your body cannot absorb more than 500 mg of calcium at a time. So if one cannot get at least 600 mg a day, they will see the result on the hair. Yes it is better to get your calcium from food but you need to eat 4 ounces of sardines twice a day everyday. The good thing about sardine is that they are low in mercury but I personally cannot eat that much sardine everyday. Edamame and Tofu are high in calcium but you cannot find any non-GMO soy. Broccoli rabe, green vegetables,black eyed peas, white beans and Sesame seeds are also relatively high in calcium. Regardless of the how you would like to get your calcium, if you don't get enough calcium, your body takes it from your hair. I myself saw the results of taking calcium in less than a week. My hair loss stopped completely but it all depends on the root cause of one's hair loss. Mine was not getting enough calcium through my diet. Also make sure your ferritin level is around 50. But taking iron should definitely be discussed with your doctor.
miso you mentioned you did Ulthera. did you see any results from Ulthera? I heard that thermage, ulthera and HiFu cause fat loss in the area. I have done RF Profound to improve skin texture and also for tightening the skin and I didn't see any results. RF Profound that is a radio frequency micro-needling is claimed to be the latest technology in skin tightening and to me it was an absolute waste of money. I did HuFi once last year. No visible result but it was cheaper than RF Profound.
You look stunning! I wonder how you would look with more traditional Korean look (dark hair, dark eyes, light makeup...)
Hi @EvaCandy thanks for the extra information on calcium. I would love to stop my hair loss. Can't wait to try calcium for a week. Just ordered some from H&B.
I think the ulthera caused fat graft loss from my lower face so not recommended.

Thanks for your feedback MissO! I heard that any RF or Ultrasound procedure can melt the fat and even dissolve the fillers. It may work for someone who is trying to make their face slimmer but losing fat means more sagging for me. I think your face is perfect and very youthful. You truly don't need anything. You're beautiful.
Good luck on your ps journey @EvaCandy! Yes I am at the end of mine. Although I am obsessed about going light blonde so going even lighter tomorrow with more blonde highlights. I have been using argan oil to keep the bleached hair from getting dry. Can't wait for the calcium tablets. I bought chewable. I have stopped brushing my hair and just use my fingers to gently comb through my hair to prevent too much hair loss so will definitely be able to see the difference with calcium.
