A biohacker who spends an eye-watering $2 million (£1.6 million) a year to try and reverse his biological age has revealed what happened when he injected fat into his face as part of ‘project baby face’.

Bryan Johnson, 47, from Utah, US, is a venture capitalist who refers to himself as ‘the world’s most measured human’.

In 2013, he sold his payment gateway company Braintree to PayPal for a whopping $800 million (£642 million).

Nowadays, he claims that his ‘cardiovascular fitness ranks in the top 1.5 percent of 18-year-olds’ and that he celebrates his ‘birthday every 19 months because we’ve dramatically slowed my speed of aging’.

After his ‘health was in a pretty bad place’ in 2020, he decided to start Project Blueprint, which was Bryan’s personal journey to measure all 70 organs of his body to ‘maximally reverse’ his quantified biological age.

It’s a rigorous daily routine which consists of dozens of pills and a strict diet of the same daily foods, with a team of doctors monitoring his progress.

During this time, Bryan says he once was advised to inject fat into his face because he was losing so much of it off his body.

He claims that people need a sufficient amount of fat on their face to look young.

“As Blueprint grew into a global movement, the scrutiny increased,” Bryan explained on Twitter.

“Facial fat, we discovered, is pretty important for how people perceive youth. It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have face fat.

“So, we started “Project Baby Face,” to explore whether we can restore lost volume.

“We selected a first therapy: injecting a fat-derived extracellular matrix to restore volume by stimulating my body’s natural fat growth.

“It’s possible to use one’s own body fat for this but the problem was I didn’t have enough fat on my body to extract, so I used a donor.

“Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up. And then it got worse, and worse, and worse until I couldn’t even see. It was a severe allergic reaction.

“Thirty minutes after the treatment, I was scheduled to meet with @ashleevance of Bloomberg to talk about Blueprint.

“I called him and said, ‘Hey, so that you’re not alarmed, you may not recognise me today. I think I’m ok. I hope I’m ok. If I’m not ok, are you by chance trained to perform any life-saving actions?’

“Seven days later my face was back to normal and we were back in the trenches reformulating plans for our next attempt.

“Building a product is one thing; being the product is a whole different thing.”
