Yes, I'm fortunate to have a publicity agreement with Facialteam, and I feel I've earned that privilege after years raising awareness about our community. I have been so many years doing trans activism on my social media, I wrote a book talking about my transition.
Did you get a discount for being an influencer and publicly getting surgery with them?
I take anything an "influencer" says with a grain of salt.

Its because she's shadow banned by reddit.

Idk I think people need to be warned about something like that. Her result is inexcusable and she is doing a service to the community helping warn people. Facial Teams money grubbing advertising policies are the problem, not people talking about their real experiences with the practice.
What did you have done and how much did it cost.
Is there anything difference because you are Spanish compared to international visitors?

I know who she is.

She's trans and allowed to be here the same as everyone else.
These are the rules of the sub

There's no rules about being an influencer. I'm sure they are people too.
There is a rule about using the sub for advertising.

You can tell your story and she can tell hers. Subject to the rules like everyone else here. Bear in mind rule 1.
The sub wouldn't be what it is otherwise. See here

I generally know what's going on here and am particularly aware of commercial influence. There have been a number of less than subtle attempts.

What advertising?
The FTC functionally considers promotions by influencers that have received compensation in kind to be advertising, and require disclosure

I'm aware facial team isn't based in the US, but the US's (very lenient) guidelines seem reasonable here

I don't think they shouldn't be allowed to post here, but if they've received any compensation (including free to discounted surgery) they should absolutely be required to disclose that imho
Basically, advertising is not allowed because I don't think its in the interests of this community and I'm the top mod here. I don't care if they disclose it or not.
Apart from that, I agree, advertising should be disclosed, but there's nothing I can do about it because its not always obvious. However reddit as a whole is a very unfriendly place for people trying to do this, which you can see if you compare it to Facebook.
Interesting timing on this post, after your less than glowing review.
I'm not an influencer, but am super happy with both my both my result and treatment. Even though I had a complication, I got all the support and treatment from them to help it and the clinic kept staying in touch with medical advice until it was over. Everyone from the staff I met are super competent, from the psychologist and the contact persons to the surgeons, nurses and the anesthesiologist that was responsible for the area of the complication. I've been curious about what kind of training their staff go through to help trans people feel comfortable. I also met 8 other patients there, all with great results, all very content and happy with the clinic. No one got lasting complications, and mine only lasted for three months.

How are you going posting this on the Facebook surgery groups?
[deleted]
It’s quite popular for trans surgery.
Huge amount of surgeon advertising there.

You don’t know what’s going on here, you’re guessing because you have issues with facial team. I’m not moderating on that basis, it’s unfair to everyone.
I'm not shouting at you. I just think it's more productive to add some more nuances instead of witch-hunting the clinic.
I’m so saddened that transgender surgery has gotten to the point that people do things like this. These are treatments for a serious medical condition and we all deserve better than the equivalent of selling a clothing line on tik tok. Daniela have you no shame?
Hello,
My history on my social media talking about my transition and all my surgeries have helped to many trans woman
Sorry if you feel that I’m doing something bad but I don’t think the same than you.
You can read my book, you can know me and discover more about me and I’m sure you will chance your thinking about me.
Thanks ;)
