I had a forehead contouring procedure with Dr Luis Capitan and Dr Daniel Simon to reduce and reshape the ridge above the eyebrow and then lower jaw contouring in order for the jaw to be femininely small and smoother. I am a biological girl but on a few occasions I was mistaken for a transgender. I was in a really bad emotional place prior to my surgery with Dr. Capitan an Dr. Simon. I became paranoid if someone was looking at me, wondering do they think I am a man. Soon, day to day life became a nightmare that I needed to get out of. Browsing the web for facial feminisation surgery I came across Facial Team. I got in touch with a lovely lady Ana who makes all the bookings on their behalf. Soon after I booked a consultation and then the surgery. It's been 11 months since I had the procedures done and I am over the moon with the outcome. Every morning I see myself in the mirror and can't believe it is me staring back - it is like a dream. Dr Simon and Dr Capitan have changed my life, or should I say saved my life. If anyone wants to do these procedures I can highly recommend Facial Team. They truly are miracle makers. Photos of my forehead are attached.
Acertó con el diagnóstico antes de realizar ninguna prueba.
