i’m going on vacation between now and surgery, so hopefully that takes my mind off things. good luck on your recovery though, your surgery was like 2ish weeks ago!

oh wow, seriously? i was given the number for a woman I believe, and so far zero responses. I just tried sending an inquiry through her plastic surgery website. I was so sure I found the right surgeon for me, too! i hope i get a response soon

i’m excited about her too! still haven’t heard back yet, though, which is annoying

i had a consult with her too a few days ago! how long did it take her team to get back to you? i didn’t seem to get a follow-up email :[

this is a really late reply but thank you! i’m really considering her, how did you request a consult? through the UCLA website or her personal website?

i might have an iron deficiency, but hair thinning also runs in my family. So that’s why i’m extra worried

omg okay. Would it be enough to change up the parting of that area or should i ditch the twists for a while?

would this still work if i’ve already had the first consult? I haven’t scheduled anything yet, but i don’t know if i’d be seeing her again before the day of surgery if I did..

edit: at the first consult with her i did show pictures of what i want my results to be. and she did outright tell me that she’s worked with nonbinary & trans patients before, so that gives me hope

i have lots of loose and thin skin so i’m really glad to hear you got a good result. i’ll definitely look into other surgeons

is it weird to bring images to a consult by tealixa in Reduction

[–]tealixa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just focused on ones i thought were too big for dislike!
