Biohacker Bryan Johnson has revealed shocking footage of an allergic reaction he had to an ‘age-defying’ treatment that involved injecting someone else’s fat into his face.
The 47-year-old billionaire, known for his extravagant anti-aging treatments, sought out the bangs as part of his quest for a “baby face.”
But the procedure went disastrously wrong, causing extreme swelling in the upper part of her face that caused her to temporarily lose her vision.
Sharing the experience with his 953,000 Instagram followers, the businessman said the unfortunate reaction occurred 30 minutes after the treatment.
‘Right after the injections, my face started exploding. And then it got worse, and worse, and worse until I couldn’t even see.
“It was a serious allergic reaction.”
He added that he called a colleague he was scheduled to meet with and warned him: “You may not recognize me today.”
‘I think I’m fine. I hope I’m fine. If I’m not well, are you by any chance qualified to take any life-saving action?
Johnson is no stranger to elaborate and risky welfare maneuvers.
Last year, Johnson recruited his teenage son and his father for a three-generational blood exchange treatment in an attempt to “youth” their bodies.
During the procedure, Johnson and his son, Talmage, had a liter of blood drained.
Talmage’s plasma was injected into Johnson’s veins, while Mr. Johnson’s plasma was injected into Richard. Their theory is that the infusion of “young blood” can repair age-related cellular damage, reducing biological age.
The biohacker also claimed that he takes 100 supplements a day, eats 70 pounds of pureed vegetables a month, and has had more than 33,000 images taken of the inside of his intestines.
Her latest procedure involved extracting fat cells from body parts such as the thighs and abdomen, and injecting them into the less voluminous face to stimulate and restore skin volume.
However, Johnson explained that he did not have enough fat on his body, forcing him to turn to a donor.
His slim physique is down to a strict daily calorie intake of 1,950 (approximately 500 less than the NHS recommended amount).
In an Instagram post this week, biohacker Bryan Johnson told his 953,000 followers that he injected fat into his face to achieve a more youthful appearance.
This, he said, has drastically reduced his body fat, including on his face.
However, Johnson admitted to his Instagram followers that the eating plan made him “look haggard.”
“People thought he was on the verge of death,” he said.
“We found that facial fat is very important in how people perceive youth.
“It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have facial fat.”
Although the procedure did not go as planned, there was no lasting damage, Johnson said.
“Seven days later my face was back to normal and we were back in the trenches reformulating plans for our next attempt.”
The California-based biohacker, who made $800 million after selling his company Braintree, has spent millions of dollars trying to reverse his physical age.
He claims he now has the heart of a 37-year-old, the skin of a 28-year-old and the fitness of an 18-year-old after adopting the highly regimented program in 2020.
The tech mogul also previously opened up about his skincare routine, admitting that he tries to minimize his time in the sun by only venturing out in the early morning or evening when the UV index is low.
