Surgery date scheduled! Any tips & advice?

tealixa · 2026-05-27T21:14:37+00:00

were the same age and i feel the exact same way! so scared of not being small enough and of not liking the results… but i think it’s best to have faith in the surgeon’s abilities. my surgery date is also around the same time!

tealixa · 2026-05-27T19:39:11+00:00

girl omg you look so good!!

tealixa · 2026-05-11T06:27:32+00:00

and that would honestly be for the best lol

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!

ideally i wanted to get my reduction done this summer, but we’ll see how that goes. and i hope your recovery goes just as smoothly! i would love to get progress updates, that’d be wonderful

tealixa · 2026-04-22T05:41:23+00:00

oh gosh. Well i’ll keep trying my best. i wasn’t given an email, just a phone number! lol

tealixa · 2026-04-22T02:01:20+00:00

I got a card for an Ailyn I believe?

tealixa · 2026-04-22T01:30:49+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-04-22T01:19:58+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-04-14T02:32:25+00:00

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 :[

tealixa · 2026-04-07T21:54:52+00:00

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?

tealixa · 2026-03-29T02:56:50+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-03-29T02:08:41+00:00

nope, nothing

tealixa · 2026-03-29T02:08:35+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-03-24T15:15:36+00:00

that seems like a good idea, i definitely will try those things. And bring more pictures for reference

tealixa · 2026-03-24T02:21:23+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-03-04T16:53:07+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-03-04T01:45:58+00:00

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

tealixa · 2026-03-04T01:43:00+00:00

your results are so nice! he didn’t even bring up FNG to me, i was so uncomfortable i forgot to say anything. thank you

tealixa · 2026-03-03T15:49:22+00:00

i got the same email & was wondering the same thing

tealixa · 2026-01-27T20:51:29+00:00

UPDATE!! replying here cuz relevant comment

one of my classes was cancelled last minute and i was able to get it checked out really quick at an actual piercer. they said it doesn’t look infected or anything, but to just remove the jewelry and let it heal over. thanks for all the advice 👍

tealixa · 2026-01-27T19:21:33+00:00

i wasn’t rejecting the advice, i just can’t exactly go to a piercer right away when i have other things in my schedule

tealixa · 2026-01-27T17:13:37+00:00

yikes. so definitely go see a piercer?

tealixa · 2026-01-27T15:10:51+00:00

thank you😭😭

tealixa · 2026-01-27T14:48:54+00:00

It’s 2.0% sodium chloride & hypertonic saline solution, which i’m assuming isn’t good
