WORTH IT
I had a surgery with Dr. Tower in January of 2025, and was asked to leave a review shortly after. I tried, but couldn't find the words. I've had time to settle into my new face now, and I think I can finally describe what this incredible doctor has done for me.
To start with, he was extremely flexible with scheduling, even coming back from parental leave temporarily just to fit me in in time for my move two months later. I didn't realize I was asking for this until he'd already given me the date, and I can't thank him enough for that kindness.
Before the surgery, I couldn't bear to look at myself for too long. I styled my hair with heavy blunt bangs, got big round glasses, threaded my eyebrows, and tried to only look at myself from certain angles to prevent myself from spiraling. So much effort was exhausted just to distract from this one feature. When I saw the sample pictures for this surgery, they seemed downright miraculous. The team, including the patient coordinator, Carole, worked miracles to get me this surgery in an extremely tight timeframe.
After the swelling went down, I got to really appreciate what Dr. Tower had done for me. This surgery gave me far more than a simple brow reduction.
I began balding at the age of 20 due to dysphoria-induced stress, and neither minoxidil nor hormones had fully fixed it. With this surgery, it was restored beyond its original position. My forehead is smaller and I actively show it off now, with a side part instead of a heavy bang that hides it.
The change in the brow itself and the shape of my forehead is incredible; one of my most hated features has become something I flaunt. I can't praise enough Dr. Tower's magnificent work here.
Even more than this, though, I still can't find the words to describe what he did to my eyes. This was part of the surgery I had barely considered, but the way he rearranged the orbital bones changed everything. My eyes are more almond shaped, with a slight downward tilt towards the middle that's extremely feminine. There's a brightness in my smile that just wasn't there before. My makeup looks better on me with subtler application; my glasses look better on me; my other features all seem to fall in line. I could go on.
This singular surgery achieved more than I could've ever hoped for, and the team at the Spiegel Center moved mountains to make it happen. My eyebrows are higher and more arched, my hairline is far more feminine, my forehead is smaller, and my eyes glow like they never used to. If you told me a single operation could achieve this, I wouldn't have believed you.
I truly feel transformed, and I'm so much more comfortable with myself than I used to be in ways I never considered. This is the highest praise I can muster, and it still feels insufficient.
Thank you, Dr. Tower, and to everyone at the Spiegel Center who helped change my life. For a trans woman, I really think there are no better hands you could be in.
