I finally got my FFS! I went to Dr. Cardenas because I like a lot of his work and he is very affordable. Today is the 2 week mark exactly. I had my hairline lowered, eyebrows lifted, type 3 brow bone (though I think he might have just done type 1 and told me he did type 3), Jaw contouring, chin contouring, fat injection to chin, fat injection to lips, and a lip lift.
The transop team is great by the way. Every single person I interacted with was wonderful to me and I felt so comfortable and at home in the recovery house. On one of the days when I was feeling a little better, I asked the chef, Blanca, if I could cook with her, and she taught me 3 traditional Mexican dishes in exchange for prep work. Vicente is absolutely amazing. He drove me all over and we got a chance to hang out around the house here and there. Just a bunch of great people in general. I will type up a full experience report when I have the time.
I am super prone to self deprecation and seeing myself as being hideous (conditioning oi). These last few days I have been particularly self deprecating and cruel to myself. I am not sure if it is in my head or if he did not go as far as he might have. Part of it is not having had makeup on since before surgery (I wear a ton of makeup in my day to day and I am actually quite good at it. I also very much regret not being able to afford rhinoplasty as I think I would pass if I had gotten my nose done (maybe?).
Anyway, I wanted to share the results.
Sorry for the awful camera, it's all I have had handy.
