2nd Set of FFS/BFS and Hair Transplant, Happy with Results :)
I had my 2nd set of surgeries (hair transplant, lip corners, philtrum reduction, liposuction and fat transfer to hips) at DA in late September 2024, after having face contouring, facial fat grafting and breast augmentation also at DA earlier in the year in April. I am a caucasian trans woman, but I live in a country nearby so it was rather easy for me to travel here. My hair transplant was done by Dr. LEE Dong Wook and the rest was done by Dr. Yoon Hyeon-sik.
I’m only a few weeks post op but I am already really happy with the results from my last set of procedures. The hair transplant has settled really well and never really showed much sign of redness, and DA scheduled regular appointments for a nurse to wash/comb/dry the hair which was great for me as the apartment I’m staying in and the other surgery I had made it difficult for me to wash it myself at home. The lip corners and philtrum reduction scars are already very not noticeable, especially the scar under my nose (it looked more like a little bit of inflammation than a scar even just 2 weeks post-op). The liposuction also I am very happy with the initial results of, though I think this will take longer to see the final result due to the nature of the swelling - I’m also happy with the initial outcome of the fat transfer and am hoping the transferred fat will stay and not be absorbed.
DA’s service overall was OK. I always had an interpreter with me during the pre-op, the operation itself and follow up appointments afterwards. Things are rather well organized pre-op, but unfortunately post-op things get a little less organized and a lot of the advice/precautions from doctors/nurses is given on the spot and can conflict with advice you were previously given or may not be given at all. I’d recommend keeping a running notepad during your recovery and writing down any questions you have so you can be ready to ask your doctor when you see them during the follow up. As an example, one of the dressings for the lipo incisions fell off during the night I stayed at the hospital, and when I asked the nurse she said I didn’t need to worry about it and could leave it as is, but then during a follow up a week later I was told that it didn’t look great and I needed to take better care - it actually should have been covered the entire time. The scalp treatments had also been great, but during my final checkup the nurse washed my hair and then asked me to dry it myself with no brush and just a rather wide-tooth comb, and it ended up with me pulling a lot of my hair out trying to dry it. I would add though that they did not hesitate to schedule follow ups, and always answered the questions I had before/between/after the follow-ups through my agency rather quickly.
As a trans woman I appreciated that the doctors understood that my interest was not just to aesthetically improve but overall feminize my face - I felt they were able to do this especially so with the philtrum reduction and hair transplant. Before my hair transplant, the doctor showed me a few options of shapes he could fill my temples in with and made a suggestion for what would look most feminine in terms of overall hairline shape and also factoring in forehead size. During the operation he was also able to cover up the scars from the brow bone reduction I had earlier in the year which was a nice added bonus!
Overall I am very happy with my outcome. Thank you DA :)
