  • Episode 045 | Facial Feminization Surgery: What You Need To Know

    Lula moved from Yemen to Toronto in 2019 and started hormone therapy in September 2021.


    In this full episode of The UnPhiltered, she shares why her face was the first part of her transition she wanted to address: to feel softer, more harmonious, and more aligned with her identity.


    Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Solomon walks through the full facial feminization assessment from hairline to Adam's apple: hairline lowering vs transplantation, forehead bossing and brow bone shaving, brow shaping and elevation, fat grafting around the eyes, transgender rhinoplasty with gentle slope, bridge narrowing and tip refinement, plus lip and jaw contouring.


    Lula staged her surgery in Toronto for financial reasons: rhinoplasty first, then 3-4 months later brow elevation + shaving with fat grafting under the eyes. She talks about scarring at the anterior hairline, recovery support living alone in Toronto, and why Dr. Solomon telling her what she didn't need mattered most.


    Listen for the honest take on judgment as the most important part of surgery, and what to ask if you're considering this path.

  • Episode 044 | How Long Does a Facelift ACTUALLY Last? Surgeon Explains

    What is the reality of recovering from a deep plane facelift? In this episode of UnPhiltered, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Solomon and co-host Nancie discuss her personal facelift journey, diving into the specific surgical considerations and the day-to-day post-operative experience.


    Learn the intricacies of neck contouring, including when a submental incision is necessary to address platysmal bands and the long-term risks of submandibular gland removal. Dr. Solomon explains how aggressive deep neck work can sometimes lead to a "cobra neck deformity" and why conservative approaches and expert surgical judgment are critical for natural results.


    Discover what the recovery timeline actually looks like. From managing zero-pain days and washing hair on day two, to why your iPhone Face ID might temporarily fail due to swelling. Finally, Dr. Solomon answers the most common consultation question: exactly how long do facelift results last, and how do age, lifestyle, and technique impact the need for future touch-ups?
