Title: Surgery with Dr. Zukowski
Post by: Ivana on July 26, 2015, 02:41:08 AM
Hello everyone!

I'm going to include pictures of me before my transition and after. I'm awaiting a surgery date but it will be set in stone very soon!

(What does everyone think of Dr. Z? I've had some friends go to him and they've all turned out great! :))

No makeup! (HIDE!!)

My main concerns personally are my brow bone, forehead entirely, nose, lip lift, and perhaps some jaw reconstruction but I'm not sure on that. I like my defined jaw line, even if it isn't exactly feminine.


(I *will* put up the before pictures that the doc office takes as well when I get my hands on them)

Thank you!

A little update. I met with my Doctor here in Seattle tonight. Dr. Z came across very confident, but nice and seemed very genuine. I actually liked his blunt attitude and think hes charming.

He actually said I was pretty and handsome boy and that Id make a pretty girl because of that.

The lowdown of what he recommended:

Forhead and Brow orbital rim bossing
Rhinoplasty
Cheek implants (not sure on this one)
Chin rounded
Jaw shave (not sure on this one)



We are looking to schedule in mid September :). Will post more updates as they come! :)
