Really awesome results
Agree
Thanks! I'm still swollen in my nose and jaw/chin. Can't wait to see my final results!
Even with the swelling your jaw and chin look so different!
Hey girly, thank youuuu
Dr cardenas did me too. Boobs and face.
Y'know, it REALLY seems like opinion of cardenas in the trans online community is really shifting. Seems like a lot more positive and GREAT results in the last year or two, especially since covid shutdowns ended and surgeries began to restart. Sounds like cardenas is actually trying harder and improving recently? Idk. Felt like a couple years ago Cardenas was talked in a negative light in trans online spaces.
He still is, definitely.
He was a fine doctor and I might be going back for body procedures
Very nice results!
Hey what is the process with dr Cardenas? I filled in his consultation form (submitting photos and questions) on his site transop at the weekend, waiting for a reply. What happens next? Is it like a Skype consultation then booking it in ?
hatzia should get back to you via email, they also have a phone number u can call, ive spoken with hatzia several times over the phone as well. transop website is super transparent and informative and ive found discussing things with hatzia to be very helpful, great communication, clarity and ease, one of the reasons i went with them 😊
Thanks xx yes she got in contact earlier :-)
I had my consult in Guadalajara a day before my surgery.
His team (usually Hatzia) will email you and tell you what Cardenas recommends. Then picking a date, payment, getting there, tests, consult, surgery, recovery.
Thanks from what I’ve seen so far, he’s definitely my favourite, transparent pricing, detailed info on the website, a focus on trans people, etc
He's very good at his work. I have myself obviously, but also several friends that went to him that you could reach out to. Afaik everyone who went to him is happy :)
That would be great thanks, will Dm you x
What all did you have done? You look great btw (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Thank you! I had a lot done, check my post history :))))
I am glad you did not go to Henry Ford for your FFS!! I am so happy you ended up with exceptional results unlike me!!
Cute
you are gorgeous, those are amazingg results, makes me ecstatic to be having my ffs with cardenas too this summer🥳🥳🥳💕
also, i cant beleive thats only two months out, incredible, gurl!
im astounded how much he got off your jawline without the skin looking lax there at all, do u feel theres more excess skin there now? one of my concerns with mine cuz i already have a lot of laxity in the area
I have a double chin currently :( I might have to get skin tightening or like idk there's a lot of extra skin
well u cant tell at all from the photo, looks great! thats my issue, i already have a double chin pre-any bone shaving 😬🫢 i want to do a lower facelift simultaneously but i think its gonna be too many proceedures and harder recovery… plus idk if i can come up with the funds in time too did cardenas say anything about the issue?
I'm about to ask him
let me know what he thinks! ima address my concerns at the pre op consult in person, i already had a video consult some months ago so i cant ask him anything else yet plus dont wanna seem crazy for having so many thoughts and questions
He said that it's likely because I had an abscess after surgery, and the fluid buildup stretched the skin, and now we just have to wait for it to heal. The area is definitely still healing and a little sore to touch. If after another month or so it hasn't changed, he suggested like, a chin lift

Pain was 10/10 for the first 5-7 days. After that it's pretty mild, fixed with some OTC or tramadol.
I showed him a morph of my face that I made so I could be as specific as possible. I suggest going through each thing you want changed and finding a way to word what you want changed. "This part I want flatter, rounded shape, and this part I want a more v shape while also reducing height" etc

Nope. Pretty much first day I was in 10/10 they gave me buprenorphine which was absolutely insane let me tell you
