Wed Nov 20 07:49:00 UTC 2024: ## Tech Millionaire’s Anti-Aging Experiment Backfires, Causes Severe Allergic Reaction
**San Francisco, CA** – Bryan Johnson, a millionaire tech entrepreneur known for his extreme anti-aging efforts, experienced a severe allergic reaction and temporary facial disfigurement following a recent procedure. The 47-year-old, founder of the “Don’t Die” program, underwent a procedure dubbed “Project Baby Face” involving fat injections from a donor. The procedure was intended to address a gaunt appearance resulting from a strict 1,950-calorie diet.
However, just 30 minutes after the injections, Johnson suffered a severe allergic reaction, causing his face to swell dramatically to the point of temporary blindness. While the swelling subsided after seven days, the incident highlights the risks associated with Johnson’s aggressive pursuit of longevity.
Johnson, who has previously made headlines for his unconventional anti-aging methods, including plasma transfusions from young donors and even a multigenerational plasma exchange involving his son and father, reportedly spends $2 million annually on such treatments. He claims to have the heart of a 37-year-old and the skin of a 28-year-old. Despite this setback, Johnson’s team is reportedly planning another attempt at the facial rejuvenation procedure.
Johnson’s entrepreneurial background includes founding Braintree, a payment processing company acquired by PayPal for $800 million, generating a significant personal fortune. He has since invested heavily in longevity research and technology through ventures such as the OS Fund and Kernel. However, this recent incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential unforeseen consequences of extreme anti-aging interventions.
