Tech mogul's face swells up after strange anti-aging treatment backfires

Bryan Johnson‚ who got rich from selling his tech company about a decade ago wanted to look younger but his plan didnt work out as expected. His face got super-puffy after getting someone elses fat injected into it (a treatment that cost big money)

The 47-year old tech guy follows a super-strict eating plan: just 1950 calories daily of plant-based food which made his face look too skinny. “People thought I was on the brink of death“ he said about his appearance before trying this new fix

So that youʼre not alarmed‚ you may not recognise me today. I think Iʼm ok. I hope Iʼm ok. If Iʼm not ok‚ are you by chance trained to perform life-saving actions

Johnson to NY Times journalist

The fat-injection thing went south real quick — his face got so swollen he couldnt see for about a week. Johnson spends around $2 million per year on his try-to-be-young program; which includes:

  • Taking 100+ supplements daily
  • Eating 70 pounds of mashed-up veggies monthly
  • Getting lots of medical check-ups
  • Trying to make his organs work like an 18-year olds

Before this face disaster Johnson tried using blood from his teenage kid for anti-aging but that didnt help either. He says his body-parts now work like different ages — heart like 37‚ skin like 28; and teeth like a 17-year old
