Fat Transfer, Thread Lift and Subbrow Blepharo
Hello everyone!
For the last three years I lost some weight and the skin on my face began to sink little by little. I started to think about Botox injections (the most popular way to stay young longer) but my daughter found a better option – fat transfer and thread lift. Fat transfer is not actually a surgery, it’s a microoperation and rather similar to filler injections with your own fat cells instead. The fat is usually taken from places of its greatest accumulation like inner or outer thighs, buttocks, abdomen and the main advantage I liked about the procedure is that it’s a non-incision method which means no scars remain on your face. The fat is injected through very thin needles in very small portions, therefore the rehabilitation period is minimum and results are obvious almost immediately. My daughter did a lot of research online and I also checked out quite a bit of reviews before deciding with Dr. Lee at Regen. She made an arrangement and we flew to Seoul.
The consultant was very kind during our time there. Her name was Jina and she was very helpful before even going to Seoul and while we were there. During our consultation with Dr.Lee he described the best operation method for me and how to achieve a desired result. He suggested to proceed fat injections in forehead, cheeks, chin and nasolabial folds in order to give some volume and I decided to plump my lips a bit. To make my look younger Dr.Lee advised a subbrow blepharoplasty (lifting the skin between the eyelid and eyebrow) and thread lift for the overall facial lifting. The same day I passed several medical tests and the next morning came back for the procedure. We agreed on proceeding fat injections and subbrow blepharoplasty first and a thread lift later. The whole process was under sleep anesthesia so I don’t remember all details, all I know is that the fat was taken from the back of my thighs, processed and inserted into chosen facial areas (from the list I got at Regen: forehead 38cc, cheeks 4cc, lips 1cc, chin 5cc, nasolabial 2cc). We decided to keep remained 70cc for the future if I decide to come back and add some more (which I actually did 5 months later). The result was obvious and my look was really refreshed. I don’t remember any pain, only slight tension in the area where fat was taken but everything disappeared the next day. A week after I came back to remove seams from the thigh, btw scars are almost invisible and I’m already prepared for a summer season :)
Two weeks later I proceeded thread lift. In commercials it’s described as a safe, sparing, with no discomfort method while the result is quite comparable with the effect of full-fledged plastic surgery and typically, it’s chosen by women who’s not yet ready for a serious surgery but gentle procedures like – biorevitalization, mesotherapy, laser resurfacing etc. are no longer working. The procedure, however, was quite painful, therefore a local anesthesia was injected into the areas of presumed punctures. During the procedure Dr.Lee inserted threads through thin needles making small incisions. Everything was finished in about 30 mins and the effect, indeed, was like after facelift surgery. The rehabilitation was about a week, I didn’t feel pain or discomfort, just bit swelling and small edemas in incision parts. The effect was very obvious through pores narrowing and increase in skin elasticity, the face oval became a little defined and my mimic wrinkles were noticeably reduced.
When we came back home, my surrounding noticed changes immediately. Everyone keep saying how fresh and young I look now. I know the procedure is rather painful and expensive while the result is temporary but I will probably repeat it again as I was in professional hands and the effect is amazing.
