Tech billionaire who spends $2 million a year to live forever looks unrecognizable after anti-aging procedure

But Johnson’s latest escapade went horribly wrong.

On Nov. 14, Johnson posted a disturbing close-up of her face on Instagram, swollen and red, after trying to inject “donor” fat into her face to look more youthful.

The idea came as a result of Johnson’s weight loss from a strict 1,950-calorie diet.

“I got really lean and lost a lot of fat — especially in my face. My biomarkers were improving, but I looked uncomfortable,” Johnson wrote in her caption. That I am on the brink of death.”

That’s what prompted her to start what she calls “Project Babyface,” an effort to put youth back into her face.

“We discovered that facial fat is very important to how people perceive young people,” Johnson wrote. “It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have facial fat.”

Johnson says he didn’t have enough fat on his own body to inject into his face, so a donor was needed. However, his body quickly rejected the fat.

“Right after the injection, my face started blowing up. And then it got worse, and worse, and worse until I couldn’t even see,” Johnson’s caption says. “It was a severe allergic reaction.”

This complicated his plans for the rest of the day. With a swollen face, Johnson walked into his scheduled meeting with a Bloomberg reporter 30 minutes later, warning him that he “may not recognize” Johnson.

Seven days later, Johnson’s face was back to normal, he says. “And we are back in the trenches refining plans for our next attempt,” he wrote.

Johnson’s longevity efforts under his Project Blueprint include blood transfusions from his teenage son—with the idea that this “young blood” procedure (which is not FDA-approved) could slow aging. Following a strict diet that includes a large number of blueprints will help reverse this. branded supplements, and undergoing regular gene therapy injections.
