My facial feminization performed in Peru

When I was in quest of my true identity, I was aware that many things had to change in my life. I also knew that people always treat others by their appearance and looks.

I had informed myself about several women who transformed themselves through plastic surgery and, although they essentially remain the same, their physical reconstruction normalized them before the eyes of other people.

When I was researching more on reconstructive surgery, I read about facial feminization: a group of surgeries that remodeled the facial skeleton and gave us that social passport of looking like women or as feminine as science may make us.

I could not afford to travel to another part of the world where surgeries are so expensive. However, life turned out to be wonderful when I was able to find in my own country, Peru, a group of professionals who helped me become the woman I should have always been. Although I did not have very strongly-marked features, parts of my face had to be feminized, such as the forehead, chin, mandible and nose, which were reconstructed by following well-known patterns and techniques that feminize the face at a really accessible cost and with a professional level that matches that of the world’s best surgeons.

My facial feminization was performed at different stages. The doctors who participate in these procedures are fully identified with them and understand the trans-woman reality. They were very kind and professional, rendered very accurate diagnoses thanks to the various studies and planning they conducted for each surgery.

Because I am a strong woman, surgeries were never painful, and the clinic always provided me with the best possible care. However, each person’s response to a surgery may vary. In my case, I had a quick recovery as, after a few days, I resumed my usual activities.

I am grateful to life because I am what I always wanted to be, and I am able to live a full woman’s life under any circumstance, whether I am dressed or naked. I am myself, day or night, with the self-confidence that plastic surgery gave me and with my desire to live.
