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

[MissOrange]

Today's post is a trip down memory lane. I must say if you are getting older and hitting the big 5-0, then have a look at your eyes. I am extremely pleased with my revision incision des, ptosis correction and upper lid fat graft with Dr Seo at MVP clinic May 2016 for 3 million won or 2.7 million with the airport tax refund or £1.67k as the exchange rate was immensely favourable to Brits back then. I found high resolution photos from another clinic visit. Here is a collage of my old eyes reminding me of my dad taken in Feb 2016 vs my young happy rejuvenated eyes in June 2016 (one month postop) except for the arcus senilis cholesterol lines in my iris reminding me I have super high cholesterol. I had 1 cm of excess upper lid skin that both wrinkled and drooped over my eyes. I researched and chose wisely in Korea as I had a high chance of botched eyes with 4 prior UK blephs. I pulled out my excess lid skin and said to Dr Seo please cut it off! It has been 2.5 years and my eyes still look open and young (see profile photo).

Yesterday was slow torture sitting at the hair salon for 4 hours!!! Yes that is how long it took to get a full head of blonder highlights for £75+ tip. She literally took a fine toothed comb and threaded out all the brown strands to dye a few at a time like a perfectionist. I had no makeup on yesterday so here is the after salon visit with my face blotted out until I take some selfies with makeup. I am trying to go as blonde as HYS. Maybe she got blonde extensions? It really is hard work.

I can't thank @EvaCandy enough for her calcium advice for postmenopausal ladies! 3 days on calcium and my hair fall out has reduced to a mere 1-2 strands! I am also noticing that natural slow weight gain to 100-101 lbs (bmi 19-19.2) is fillng out just the fg on my face so like getting a free top up and not like an msg balloon face! This means for those getting full face fg gain 3-5 lbs for longevity of fg. And finally loving life as a blonde in the UK. Wow what a difference when it comes to getting great customer service! No more feeling ignored or being treated as invisible. I am staying blonde for life now.

Hi MissOrange! I was wondering at what age you decided on your first fat graft? Did you try dermal fillers before fat graft?

I am 28 turning 29 and am currently deciding between the two.

I am leaning towards getting dermal filler for cheek and under eye area along with plumping up the forehead area a little as I feel I am quite young. I don't have wrinkles or hollowing but just want that fresh, bouncy look. I've read many pros and cons for both procedures but I wanted to hear your thoughts.

I am also wondering how much you paid?

My KKT quotes were:
2-3mil won for fat grafting full face ($2000-3000 USD)
590man won for full face filler ($590USD)

Hi @cherryontop, fat grafting did not exist 20-30 years ago! I had my first fat graft at age 50. I had lip and nasolabial fillers with botox from age 40. My forehead has learned not to frown ie wrinkle so I have stopped getting botox. I am seeing how long I look good without nasolabial fillers. I would say try dermal fillers first as this is temporary and cheaper and see where it looks the best on your face. When you need volume for your entire face, then look at fat grafting as it is dangerous to fill your whole face with fillers.

As for pricing, full face fg is usually around 2-2.5 million won but can be higher in clinics that attract foreigners.

I didn't even notice her bullhorn lift. I thought the lips were lifted by the mini facelift. Now that you've pointed it out, the distance between her lips to her nose is halved, hence her lips are fuller.

The other thing he does, which I think is his secret weapon, is enriching his fat with stem cells. He calls this Powered Sugar Fat. See attached woman 4 years post, still looking good.

This woman had ponytail facelift and necklift (Kao does endo, he just presented to ISAPS last week) and a BULLHORN LIPLIFT. She is 8 days out, took selfie at airport to send to him AMAZING. Still swollen but WOW.

Bad, bad Artefill (formerly Bellefill). I see clinics in SK are promoting it. First of all it is bovine origin. A no for me as I have nearly wanted to die from the painful side effects. This woman went to Kao for removal and face and neck lift. Pretty amazing outcome. Here's her story.
She developed #fillergranulas everywhere the #filler was injected. The granulomas caused chronic irritation, itching and occasional pain and needed to be removed.We performed an endoscopic removal of those granulomas along with a Ponytail Lift , Jowl Lift , and Neck Lift. In some areas, the foreign body reaction infiltrated the superficial dermis and we had to directly excise the lesion. She was so scared to proceed with surgery she almost cancelled the day before... she is now so happy with her outcome.

OMG She is aging rock star in her mid 70's. She had a undergone a traditional #facelift 6 years ago. Her skin was so thin and delicate, it was like working with wet tissue paper on top of jello. Her #lowereyelid bags were very pronounced, rather than removing them , we redistributed then, so to avoid hollowing out the eyes even more. In addition, micro #fattransfer was performed inside the eye socket to improve the #holloweyes. An upper #liplift was also performed she is greatly improved but we are still working on softening around the mouth and lips (she likes big lips) and improving the texture of her skin. We did not have a chance to resurface her skin this time but we will continue to work with her. Pretty amazing how the FG has improved the texture of her skin as she has NOT had her thin skin resurfaced yet.

My future FL doctor. No real cutting as he goes in from your scalp endoscopically.
What a magician no wonder he's ranked as best in the world by fashion mag.
Also check out his bullhorn lift at 9 days!!! Nine Days.

So glad it worked for you also. As you know hair growth cycle is slow so you will see the real result in 6 month. Any hair color looks great on you cute face.

Here are yesterday's photos with a full head of blonde highlights (looks red under indoor lighting) and make-up. I am thrilled I do not need a 5th fg. Happy to maintain my weight at 100-101 lbs or 19-19.2 bmi as it really fills out the fg cells in all the right places and no need to monitor my water intake to expand my lower face. Excuse my hair; I did not have time to get a professional blow-dry. No need for temporary threadlift or costly smas. Just put on a few lbs to help the existing fg cells re-expand and lift the face naturally.

Be careful you do not lose too much weight as when you age you need natural fat as volume to expand and lift your face and most men prefer ladies with a curvaceous figure!

Oh my goodness after all my efforts to go completely blonde HYS has gone back to black! Can't keep up! lol.

Can you believe it? Here is the 70 year old 'rock star' once the swelling has gone down.

One last post from Kao. Sorry I'm fixated on him at the moment.
