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

[MissOrange]

@MissOrange Good luck in your explant! Hang it there!

Aww thank you @Fortunecat. Breast implant removal has moved up to the 10th most popular plastic surgery procedure! I have learned saline implants grow mold, textured silicone implants bleed and even newer gummy implants rupture. Bottom line imo is that fat transfer with Dr Burns or Dr Bednar in USA and Dr Hong of Fresh in Korea seems the way to go for BA.

Today's post is on determining whether you need a breast lift. If you have grade 1 or more ptosis then yes mastopexy can help. I have grade 1 ptosis (nipples 1cm below the crease line vs normal is 2 cm above the crease line) held up by either bras or bikini tops which will worsen once the implants are removed so definitely need a combo lift too. My op is fast approaching in less than 2 weeks time and my consultation summary says he does not know what size I will be post explant of 295cc implants. I shall go from a 34 DD to x for unknown with lift. I have added 2 bikini top shots as I say goodbye forever to big breasts which quite frankly were too big on a 5 foot petite frame. I have researched thoroughly and Mr Guy Sterne is in my opinion one of the best and most experienced in en bloc removals and has ladies flying in from Australia and Turkey for explant with him!

In USA they transfer up to 400cc of fat to each breast for $11k but in the uk limit the amount transferred to almost half that. Not sure I want to start another fat graft journey with multiple top ups to Korea but may have to depending on the result.

In the meantime as my youngest sis also approaches 50 next year she too has booked Seo for her inc des and ptosis to start her rejuvenation journey in a week's time.

I wish there was a diagram to determine whether a lower FL is required as I still think I need one. Sigh.

Hi MissOrange! Good luck with your explant, I wish you all the best! It surely won't be easy going from a DD to much smaller after being so used to it for many years. I wanted to get fat transfer to breasts in Korea too but was told by a few places that they don't transfer tummy fats, which is where I want to get rid of fats the most. Apparently thigh, hip, or buttock fat is the best. My BMI is only 18.9 and I like how my lower body looks so no fat transfer for me.

I do feel better when you advise against implants though. I know many women who have done them and look great but who knows if they will get affected by BII eventually and have to go through the explant process anyway.

Anyway, you look great blonde but as an ex-asian blonde myself I have some hair advice for you: I would strongly discourage you from doing anymore DIY touch ups. The reason is that virgin hair and processed hair absorb bleach and colour at very different rates, but the difference only becomes obvious after the hair has been bleached for about 1-2 years. What may happen is that the hair may end up with patchy colour at different lengths of the strand after you've been blonde for about 1.5 years.

It will still look great every time you leave the salon of course, but the real results show once the new colour or toner has faded in a few weeks post-appointment. Trust me, I was blonde for quite a few years and I loved every minute of it but my hair eventually became so fragile and over-processed that I grew it out back to black.

Another scary thing stylists never admit is that you will lose a lot more hair after bleaching, especially if you are over 35! Sorry if I sound negative, just sharing from my own experience. Just make sure you deep condition all the time and use hair oils overnight on the ends. And never DIY if you can help it! Hair becomes very precious to us as we get older, and it doesn't regenerate the same way as younger girls so we can't treat it the same way that they do!

Hi @Starry Eyes, thank you for your well wishes for my upcoming explant. You and I both have the same bmi! Dr John Burns does 360 degree whole body lipo to fill up breasts, ie arms, thighs, back, tummy etc. There is a fb group just on breast fat transfer with amazing b&a's and up to 14 month follow ups. One petite asian lady weighed only 94 lbs yet managed to get whole body lipo to give her d cups! But Burns costs $10k. Have you asked Fresh in korea if Dr Hong will take fat from your tummy for breast FT? I am thinking he will be cheaper than USA and if I wake up an A or AA, I shall be booking breast FT asap but keep forgetting it will be a struggle to find 400 ccs of fat from my used up thigh fat reserves and only bum and back fat left, oh and bat wing arms.

Now that HYS has gone back to black hair, I am thinking time to go back to dark but after all the hours in the salon and costs to go blonde, it would be a shame to darken just yet.

Thanks for the advice to go to the stylist for roots. I must say it is easier to do diy roots with a paintbrush and 2 mirrors. lol. Yes my girls say my hair looks very dry.

I have just been reading of yet another bii symptom....tooth decay!!! Yep 4 years ago out of the blue my 2 upper front teeth started aching and the dentist took an x ray that showed an abscess so he did 2 root canals at vast cost. The fb group of 58,000 ladies with bii keep reporting cracked teeth, needing 4 root canals, teeth extraction etc.! Then the latest research is root canal itself can trigger autoimmune disease as it often still contains necrotic tissue and bacteria! Some report being told to find a specialist dentist to carefully remove the root canal but then would need tooth extraction and a dental implant! And back to square one with a foreign implant! http://naturalsociety.com/how-root-...0IyZPSVS5hsjT0wsTcpKpSRSlYX0gjtVrd4LszTzhBn7g

Sometimes bii gets too much to bear but I am glad Crystal Hefner shared her bii story and explant as did many bloggers.

To cheer myself up I uploaded a free aging booth for fun to see what I would look like if I lived a century ago without access to fat graft, nasolabial radiesse filler, botox or hair dye! Brace yourself! Okay now I see why I get turned down for lower FL. Not quite there yet. .

@Starry Eyes THAT is soooooooo true! I've been banging on about that sad truth in previous posts here.

Now I'm still suffering the consequences of home-bleached blonde hair from 8 years ago: Scalp dermatitis or seborrheic psoriasis, excessive hair loss, disappearance of hair follicles, as well as straw-dry hair.

So gutted that I didn't get a chance to try out every dye shade of the rainbow to make it worth the suffering.

Oh my goodness, anyone even considering breast implants has to watch this documentary on breast implants! I just watched it and am shocked how allergan and mentor downgraded reports of ruptures and reops to 'minor' adverse events instead of major so as not to make them public! How a scientist at Health Canada found up to 70% of saline implant valves became faulty over time. How a lovely lady got textured implants at age 44 and by 50 was diagnosed with bia alcl lymphoma and almost died from failed chemo. It even goes into the history of how women were used as guinea pigs before they invented implants.

@MissOrange Despite our efforts trying to warn ppl to think twice about zygoma reduction and breast implants, those who are adament, will still go ahead with their surgeries.
I guess, let's just relax and chill one side... :s

The force is strong @Fortunecat. Thanks for reminding me I am not to get zygoma reduction. My OH says if I do I will F up my face. lol. He doesn't mince words.

Omgoodness, my op has been moved up to this Sunday!!! Yay! I don't have netflix but if you do and are considering breast implants, watch bleeding edge! Seems medical devices are less regulated than pharmaceuticals and some on the fda board are ex employees of manufacturers! I shall update you on whether I wake up with the heal is real experience with clear eyes, no more heartburn and a clear sharp memory. Fingers crossed. I have now seen his rs postop photos (one lady even calls her boob lift 20 yo boobs wow!) and fb group ones and feel 100% reassured I have chosen the best aesthetic en bloc surgeon for removal with lift for me.

Meanwhile my younger sis is booked for eyes and nose with Dr Seo tomorrow morning! Maybe I need to see Dr Seo to fix my wonky nostrils? If I am too small, I could look into 360 degree lipo for breast FT? Oh dear my ps keeps on going!

That is good news!
Wish you the best of luck in your explant!

It's 1 am in Birmingham at the £57 a night Holiday Inn. I get up in 5 hours, get dressed, pack, check out and take a booked taxi to West Midlands Hospital for my surgery. By 11 hours I could be over the moon happy with my £7,690 explant + lift results or devastated with no boobs. 4 sets of recalled breast implants...trilucent double rupture, hydrogel, pip and now textured allergans (suspected right intracellular rupture), all certified by the EU or US FDA and all then recalled/banned. Remember ladies, try autologous fat transfer and not poorly regulated foreign body medical devices.

@MissOrange No major loss in losing the silicone, because you still got the real deal (i.e. husband) stuck by your side before and after your several implants!

As long as you keep yourself healthy in mind, body and soul, then you'll keep your hot body even with small boobs. Alot of Victoria Secret models are B cup, or possibly even A cup:

So go treat yourself to some chicken fillets to enhance your healing boobs and self-esteem... the plastic kind for stuffing safely in bras!

@MissOrange How are you? Is everything okay after the explant?

@MissOrange How are you? Is everything okay after the explant?

Hi @Fortunecat, I have been busy buying bras today at Primark. 7 assorted bras for £20 is such a bargain!

Okay so I went into theatre having confirmed a lollipop lift with Guy Sterne and even showed him and his anaesthetist an A4 print out of a former patient of his who got a beautiful vertical lollipop lift. Then I awoke hours later to be told he had performed a circumareolar lift, ie a donut lift and not a standard breast lollipop lift! I was taken aback. How does a surgeon do a procedure never discussed or agreed upon? What made matters worse was when I knocked on the hospital room door of another patient of his who did get a standard lollipop lift on the same op list, and she looked amazing like a VS model in a bra but not needing a bra as they were high, pert and full! Mine are saggy like the late Farrah Fawcett with what I call Franken tits resewn on. The side profile looks like an empty saggy sock with lower breast sag as I never got a vertical lollipop lift as agreed?!

I went through anger, rage, depression and acceptance at spending £7690 full price for en bloc removal and lollipop mastectomy to get en bloc removal with donut mastectomy this past Sunday which is not recommended by US Dr John Burns or London Dr David Floyd. They don't do circumareolar/donut lifts for a good reason! So why me? I have not got a reply yet to my 2 emails asking Guy Sterne why?

I tried on my daughter's bra yesterday and the bra lifts up my droopy 'lifted' boobs! I guess I will have to research lift with fat transfer with Dr David Floyd in the UK, Dr John Burns in Dallas, Texas or just breast FT alone with mvp or fresh clinic. Floyd does 200 cc FT to each breast vs Burns up to 500ccs to each breast with 360 degree body lipo.

Anyway here is my pod day 3 in a 34c bra. My mutant pursestring sewn nipples and saggy breasts are hidden and hoisted up. Praise the Lord for cheap bras!

They look great! BTW there are now HEAPS of reviews on RS re explant and the immediately after boobs are empty sacks but miraculously in a month or two they seem to even out so I would tell you to wait. No need to fly to the US for fg to boobs as SK are doing good in that area too.

 

[Fortunecat]

@MissOrange You are looking good. Maybe your surgeon thought that your boobs did not fit the criteria for a lollipop lift? But its definitely good to ask him for the reason. Its devastating to know that the surgeon did not operate upon the agreement.
