OK so many people have asked me about the quality of work he does. I thought he did good but obviously he does great. My profile pic is at 3 weeks post open I think. And now even when I dess all guy like I still get ms. I even get stopped every single time I tried to enter the men's room.ha-ha
I will make a video soon my lap top should be out of the shop soon. Me  spilled ice cream on it. So beach video coming soon. H yeah any ideas on what to talk about on video.you can toss out some ideas

RAD. I'm going to see him on the 12th of June. I'm excited. And of course a little nervous about pain and what not. I'm having forehead/brow/nose/jaw/chin and orchiectomy. Your videos are great Tristan really informative. I totally trust Dr. Cardenas to do the job and do it well! all the girls I've seen recently look GREAT and everyone I've personally spoken to only has good things to say. And Tyler at Transop is super rockin really nice and professional...I know I appreciate the updates you've provided and look forward to your updated vids.

I have a few questions:
1. For the nose job, did you give him a picture for reference of a nose that you wanted or did he simply decide for you?
2. For the forehead work how noticeable is the scarring and how far does it go lengthwise? I have frontal hairloss and go with a near bald cut so I guess derma blend can cover it but wanted to be sure...
3. How long were you on HRT before getting FFS? I was thinking of going on it for a year before I bothered.

Thanks!

Thanks.  Tristan is a very good ambassador for these surgeries.

Sure thing Jamie D and Tristan thank-you for the reassurances. It's a couple weeks away now, I'm really psyched but it's like time has stopped moving or something. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Hi Tristan, things look great. Can you help me out by telling me what you had done? I'm also interested in how long you think the recovery took before it's plausible for someone to go back to work (e.g., as a teacher).

I recall Tristan went for FFS in mid-February and posted some YouTube videos soon after. I'm sure she can give you the links when she gets back to this thread.  Or send her a p.m.

Hi Tristan!!!


When can we see your before and afters?! I am really excited to see how you look now compared to your video. I am really interested in Cardenas. Is he more aggressive or conservative when it comes to chin and jaw!? Also, how good are his nose jobs??

Thans hun.

Hey Girl, I am not sure how you post them in here, but you can always email them to me at cole2dl@cmich.edu.

I really can't wait to see your results. I am super interested in this Doctor, I love his prices. I wonder how his wife does her nosejobs?! Have a good day hun.

Wonderful, thanks so much Tristan. 

I'm so glad to see Dr. Cardenas is getting such great reviews!  I found him web surfing a couple of weeks ago and I was wondering if he was reccomended He sounds great and you can't argue with those prices!

I'm hoping that Dr. C is comparable to Dr. DiMaggio. Cardenas being an 8hr flight closer (each way) is a rather large factor in my decision-making. I think that 14hrs of flights after surgery would be really bad.

Hi Tristin I have been looking at your doc. Is there any way I could see your before / after shots?

Thanx. Thp420@gmail.com

Hey Tristan could you send some pix to me as well??

I've been seriously considering going to see Cardenas as well. It's not vary many before/after pix of AA girls that I've seen. It's hard to really get a sense of different looks without much to go on. Did you ever discuss with him about keeping your "ethnic" features in tact?? I think I'm most nervous about about the nose job I don't want a tiny little nose that doesn't fit my face. I like the width of it just maybe a smaller bridge would be ok I guess.

Thanks that's so good to know. My mother says if I come back looking someone else's child she'll kill me. LOL

Hi Tristin. I never saw the email with your before pics. There is a good chance I sent it to the trash by mistake. If you would be so kind as to resent them it would be a huge help. Thanx so much girl.

Thanks so much for posting such a positive topic about Dr. Cardenas.  I think with all the bad we hear sometimes it is great to hear something good.  I have hoed and hummed over going to see him for years and this kind of restores my faith in him.  Thanks again.
