So the more I think about it. Dr.Spiegel did do a great job with my cheeks and forehead . Unfortunately it did not happended with the jaw and its also very unfortunate that I've decided to no longer keep in touch with him because I am no longer fond of their practice so Ive reached to a new surgeon and we'll see what can he do. But don't let my bad story prevent from giving Dr.Spiegel a try. Maybe it'll work out for you. For me is a no. This also will be my last update for this review. I hope I helped some people and I wish you all a good road ahead ??

I love this surgeon but really want a surgeon who will make me happy. It's an elective an you're paying for an aesthetic result so a physician entrusted to do that better stand by a patient 300%. It's a deciding factor for me certainly. I'm very sorry you had a poor relationship with this staff. But I thank you for your honest review. Best wishes in achieving your aesthetic goals.

It's been 8 months and I'm extremely unhappy with my jaw. It's not narrow enough so I reached out to them to look into revision. Before the consultation they told us the revision would be free of charge and we only have to pay for OR and hospital fee but now they turned 360 on us and decided to charge us again. To me this is extremely unethical and just cruel. Money is not a problem for me but I know to a lot of trans , it can be tough so I wouldn't want any of my transgenders fellow make a mistake see this man and he did a bad job on you and make you pay again. Which is hard for a lot of people. I'm extremely emotional toward this situation because I feel like as a trans surgeon, you should care of how they feel and try to make them feel better about themselves and stand behind your work instead of trying to exploit and make a profit out of us. So please really consider about your choices in surgeon and avoid this man if you can. Beside, his work is extremely mediocre and I promise you that.

i believe you, i always see something referring to his inability to get symmetrical results. Also I hear from others he charges for revisions when he messes up.

Mine took too much off my jaw and chin. I wanted subtle and natural results. I think your jaw and chin look good. It is better to have them than not.

So it had been a month and let's me tell right off the bat that this isn't easy. Day 30 and I'm still going at swelling. Let's start from forehead down to my jaw shall we? As you can see in the pic, the incision have been healing pretty nicely but on my right side, it's a little more messier as far as the way my surgeon stitched it up. It kinda disappointed me a little since I had such a high expectations from him that I thought he would make both side some what equal but with that being said, he did warned me that my incision would be somewhat zigged and not even to imitating the natural hairline and it might be red with scabs so I don't know yet. And I also have to say that in the middle of my hairline the scar seem a little scary to me since it look pretty heal but raised up a little so We will see. For maintaining, I think normal shampoo and conditioner should be ok after 3 weeks. Just watch out for any irritation and be gentle at it. Pat on it instead of scrubbing in the front to avoid any irritation. Towel dry well before apply any oilmen and it would help if the oilmen have scar benefit in it. They sell it at any pharmacy, I like neosprint. After three weeks I don't wear the bandage around my incision inside the house anymore , but I still do when I go outside just to avoid infection since I'm very cautious. Lol. As far as my eyes goes, the bruises had completely went away, thanks to arnica. ???? The blood shot still there but getting drastically better. for anyone that have nose job or cheek implant done, the only advice I could give you is leave it alone. Don't be to rough with it cause you won't see the result till the swelling goes down anyway. Clean it and make sure you be gentle so it will heal nice. The jaw probably the most swollen but less painful one. I can eat pretty normal now and everything. The only thing that I'm annoy at is the swelling but other than that, thing definitely looking up after a month. Btw, eat as much fish and protein and healthy food as possible, it'll help I will keep you guys updating as time goes by.

I suppose Arnica, Vitamin-C (500mg) & Bromelain - two weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery would help swelling also? :) my surgery is in couple weeks xx hope you have a speedy recovery! :)
December 23, 2016
I'm not sure about before cause I'm only did it after. But I heard that it'll help just make sure you go through it with your surgeon and ask what does he think. Vitamin before trip is pretty important to keep your immune system up but don't over do it since it cause nose bleed if you over do, at least that's what I heard. I'm not sure about bromelian. Never heard about it. But now I'm curious
December 24, 2016
Hi Venus, I looked into bromelian and I think it's very risky to use it 2-3 weeks prior to your surgery since it'll make you more likely bleed. So please ask your surgeon and be safe. Good luck
