I'm a 23 year old transwoman living in New York, and I started my transition a little over two years ago. Although I've always had a feminine frame and petite body, I wasn't blessed with naturally feminine features. Quite the opposite, actually. I've always had a strong jaw and a big (Persian) nose. So when I started living my life as female full-time, it wasn't a pleasant experience. I would always get stared at, harassed, threatened, and ridiculed walking down the street as it was very apparent I was transgender. In other words, I definitely was not "passable." And although hormone therapy was somewhat helpful, it didn't do very much. That's when I started looking into Facial Feminization Surgery, and it is a very confusing world to navigate. There are various surgeons who are all competitive and insisting that they're the best. To be honest, I've consulted with some surgeons (I won't name names) whose arrogance was very off-putting.
When I consulted with Dr. Lee, I felt a different vibe from him. He's definitely confident, but he also seemed compassionate and caring. I decided to have my FFS done by him. In total, I've had hairline advancement, forehead contouring, brow lift, cheek implants, rhinoplasty, sliding genioplasty (chin reduction), and jaw shaving. These were all done over the course of two surgeries, with the last one being done just two weeks ago! I must say that I've very pleased, especially after the second round. I'm still VERY swollen and bruised as you can see, but the results are exactly what I asked for. I told Dr. Lee that I wanted to be as feminine as possible without looking overly animated or freakish. It was also very important for me to maintain an Ethnic component to my nose because I'm very proud of being Iranian. My forehead is very angelic and soft, my chin and jaw are more tapered and delicate, and my cheek implants are my favorite part! They don't look like chipmunk cheeks like I've seen on some people. The way he does them looks very skeletal like real cheek bones.
Overall, my face is much softer, rounder, refined, and more feminine. I will keep updating this review with photos as I continue to heal. I definitely recommend Dr. Lee because he really listens to what you ask for and is willing to work with you if you're not 100% satisfied.
Feel free to ask questions, but please no hateful comments!

Just following up my review with an update! I'm really happy with the results overall and I would say the swelling is 70% gone now. There is numbness on certain parts of my face so definitely be prepared for that.
Each day, I look better and better :) Definitely loving the softness of my jaw and chin.

Please upload more pictures. I'm planning on FFS and I'm trying to decide between surgeons.

The thing about cheek implants that surgeons downplay. It might look good initially, but overtime there's a risk of infections, shifting and bone reabsorption.

Dont be a drama queen then, and dont get cheek implants if you cant deal with the potential complications

Thank you for sharing your experience with the rest of us that are considering this procedure. Your results look fantastic! FFS for me is one of the most important surgeries that you don't want to have problems with

Whereabouts did the doctor do your incision? Are you happy with the scar visibility/healing? That is the one thing I'm worried about with FFS! If you could upload a photo of the scar from the forehead work I would be so grateful. <3
