Before <my bumpy, uneven faceㅜ> After <my face got smaller and became super smooth> Hi everyone ㅎㅋㅋ Several years ago, because of fat grafting and fillers, I started getting fat sagging and things like that, and it stressed me out so much. As I slowly started taking off my mask, I made up my mind and tried a bunch of things this month to improve my face shape ㅎ
First, I was someone who even considered a lift because of the fat sagging..ㅜ but I don't think a lift is right for my age yet, and I thought the fat above my nasolabial folds, which stressed me out the most, wouldn't be solved by a lift!
First, I dissolved the old, hard nasolabial fold filler. I had gotten it about twice quite a long time ago, but it didn't dissolve and migrated above the nasolabial folds, so I dissolved it about 3 timesㅠㅠ
And I decided to get liposuction on the bulging fat above the nasolabial folds. For reference, because of this fat, I think I did InMode more than 10 times, and I also had Ultherapy in the winter, but it absolutely would not go away..ㅠ I also tried thread lifting maybe twice, but it went back to the original state within a monthㅋ
After doing liposuction above the nasolabial folds (early May), there was swelling for about 2 weeks, and then it mostly went down,
but under my eyes and around the nasolabial folds looked sunken (after dissolving the nasolabial filler and removing the fat, the volume suddenly was gone, so my face felt smaller, but it looked unimpressive x)
so I signed up for 3 sessions of full-face Sculptra (late May). Right now I've had the 1st session, and I can feel a slight amount of volume.
In the middle of that, my philtrum looked too long, so I considered philtrum reduction surgery, but I wasn't confident about the scar, so I mainly got upper-lip filler (no retouch), and it improved quite a lot, so it was a procedure I was unexpectedly very satisfied with!
After that, the line where I had liposuction above the nasolabial folds had lost some fat, but it still felt saggy, so I finished with Ultherapy (this week). (+I also got jaw Botox.)
Maybe because I got Ultherapy from someone said to be really good at it, it's only been about 3 days, but it feels tightened and lifted, and it feels completely different from when I had it somewhere else in the winter..!
For the facial liposuction, there is still a little bit of residual firmness, but as it softens more, it should get slimmer, and Sculptra will fill in the hollow areas more, and Ultherapy should lift more over time, so I'm just looking forward to it getting even betterㅎㅎ
I'm getting my 2nd Sculptra session at the end of this month.
While going to the dermatologist, I also got other ultrasound treatments and skin care at the same time, so my skin looks much clearer than before, and my face shape is becoming exactly how I want it, so I'm so, so satisfiedㅜㅜㅜ!
If you're curious about any of the procedures I got or are considering any of them, I'll tell you everythingㅎㅎ Everyone here who's similarly worried about sagging from fat grafting is welcome!.!
Really... I put things into my face, took them out, and put things back in ㅋㅋㅋ But honestly, right now is just perfect.
