Brian Johnson, a 47-year-old American "billionaire" who is spending billions of won to become young, recently confessed that he suffered side effects from fat transplants on his face.

On the 14th, he posted a picture of his swollen face on his SNS account.

Johnson said, "I restricted calories at the beginning of the rejuvenation project," adding, "I lowered my daily calories from 2,500 calories to 1,950 calories, and I became thin, especially because I lost a lot of facial fat and looked emaciated."

In this way, the biomarker improved, but people began to worry about their health when they saw their emaciated faces, and eventually came to the conclusion that if the face did not have fat, it would be of no use.

"To restore the lost volume, our team started the 'Baby Face' project," Johnson said. "We tried to restore the volume by injecting fat-derived cells into the body and stimulating the body's natural fat growth."

What he tried was an autologous fat transplant in which autologous fat cells were extracted from body parts such as thighs and abdomen and injected into the face. However, due to insufficient body fat due to controlling the amount of food, the donor's fat was used.

However, an unexpected side effect occurred in this procedure.

Johnson said, "My face was about to explode right after I got the shot. "It got worse and worse to the point that I couldn't see well, but it was a serious allergic reaction," he said. "After a week, my face returned to normal, and I am reorganizing my plans for the next attempt," he said.

Meanwhile, Johnson also made three "blood exchanges" with his teenage son and father in his 70s last year to reverse his physical age. Plasma separated from Johnson's son's blood was transfused to Johnson and blood from Johnson's blood was transfused to his father. Johnson claims that injecting 'young blood' into the body can slow down aging.
