I've had fat grafting before, and it left a slightly shriveled appearance.
I've had thread lifting, but it didn't last long.
I was born in 1977, so I'm 48 years old this year. Seven days ago, I went to see Dr. Yuan for his MCR composite lifting surgery. Now I feel fine, eating and sleeping normally, and I'm just very happy.
I wanted to have this surgery because I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror anymore: my cheekbones were sagging terribly, my entire face was drooping, my nasolabial folds extended to the corners of my mouth, and my marionette lines and nasolabial folds were very obvious. My profile was also lacking definition, making me look much older.
I'm not even 50 yet, and I didn't want to let my appearance "relax" like this, so I had the anti-aging surgery. The improvement is quite noticeable: the corners of my eyes and mouth are slightly lifted, my cheekbones are fuller again, my nasolabial folds aren't as deep, and my face looks firm and smooth. I'm still recovering, but I can already tell I look much younger. My friend says I look like I'm in my 20s.
I think this surgery is pretty cost-effective: it's not very painful, the improvement is noticeable, and most importantly, with proper care, the results can last 8 to 10 years. When I'm 58, I won't care so much about my appearance anymore, and I'll still look younger than my peers. I think that's great.
