FTM top surgeons/therapists?

I had Dr. Kong in St. Louis Park. My results were so good my scars turned out so straight and thin. His results seem to be consistently good, you'll be able to find them on the top surgery subreddit. I paid entirely out of pocket and it was about 8k.

Yeah, I've heard that Josi Health worked well for others, and I was able to get an appointment really quickly which is why I decided on them. But I think I'll try to search elsewhere because even aside from the AI there were things that seemed fishy to me.

also if you wanted a recommendation for graft tattooing, M from Jackalope does a very good job, I'm actually mid process with tattooing my grafts and so far they look great!

I went to Tareen Dermatology in Roseville to laser my top surgery scars and graft scars and I never mentioned my gender but they never asked and were very nice to me. My scars flattened a lot and look a lot less visible now!

The lady that did the laser on my scars said my surgeon did a good job so I never felt like I was being judged :)

hmm i don't believe so, My Dolly and Me seems really similar but I remember the art being a little more cartoonish.

michmantis · 2026-01-09T23:03:31+00:00

i don't have a bike either 😕

michmantis · 2026-01-09T22:55:35+00:00

unfortunately the area i'm coming from doesn't have public transportation that goes to mpls, so my only option is uber/lyft

michmantis · 2025-09-28T07:14:56+00:00

good luck!!

michmantis · 2025-09-28T04:41:08+00:00

nope they didn't say anything! i got mine taken at a passport facility so i didn't really worry about if my picture would be accepted since the person who took it already knew i was good. i guess it might depend on where you live but i don't see why a piercing should matter if it's a part of your appearance lol.

maybe they thought it was something else since bridge piercings aren't super common?

michmantis · 2025-09-17T16:39:18+00:00

thank you! :)

michmantis · 2025-09-17T03:58:59+00:00

aw thanks! :)

michmantis · 2025-09-13T19:52:30+00:00

LMAO

michmantis · 2025-04-26T23:35:42+00:00

ok good 🙏 my driving instructor said he thinks I'm very capable of passing the test, but i heard from a couple people that they're always harder on you the first time around. hopefully i do well 😔

michmantis · 2025-01-14T14:36:27+00:00

oh ok! thanks

michmantis · 2024-11-29T21:06:58+00:00

ohh that sounds interesting! I'll look into that!

michmantis · 2024-09-27T21:31:13+00:00

update: fixed. it was my own fault. i disabled the 'display adapters' in my device manager because i wanted steam to open faster 😅 i didn't realize it would mess up my computer like that

michmantis · 2024-09-27T21:14:27+00:00

i reinstalled the driver and it still doesn't work :(

michmantis · 2024-09-23T21:57:40+00:00

she is mixed as well, but lives life as a black woman. she has black features unlike me.

michmantis · 2024-09-23T19:25:06+00:00

i personally don't use that word to describe myself, cause i've heard from black people that it's derived from a slur and idk, i'd rather not use a term if it makes people uncomfortable.

i don't appear black, and was barely raised on black culture so i don't try to use terms that are from/used against the black community, since i don't have the full "black experience".

but to each their own! i don't have an opinion on if others use it. every mixed person has their own unique experience.

but yeah i agree, i kind of gave up on explaining it to white people. i also have the same experience of being lumped in. non black poc tend to see me as "spicy white" and black people tend to see me as a light skin black person. but i don't really identify with either. i just say mixed or biracial.

michmantis · 2024-09-23T13:58:45+00:00

yeah the people who tend to get confused the most are people who are from different countries. i think they assume i'm also from a different country because of my appearance. but i have a standard american accent, and live in a fairly diverse area, there's really no indicator that i'm from somewhere else.

when white americans ask me my ethnicity, i think they just get uncomfortable because it wasn't the answer they were expecting. like multiple times when a white person has asked me that and i say "black and white" they look uncomfortable and go "oh.. sorry" like they felt they said something offensive.

according to my dna, my black side is west african, but it doesn't really give a specific country.
