On this episode of the Plastic Surgeon Podcast Dr. Sajan’s patient, Liam. Liam is a transgender man who underwent top surgery with Dr. Sajan at Allure Esthetic earlier this year. Liam was born and spent his early life in the Dominican Republic. It was not until he attended high school in the United States that he began to have the language for his identity and the feelings he had growing up. During childhood, Liam experienced feelings of gender dysphoria. He never liked wearing traditional girls’ clothing and expressed an interest in girls instead of boys early on. Seeing boys, Liam realized that he wanted to look like and be like them. He even enjoyed when he would be misgendered before he transitioned because it better matched his true identity. After moving to Washington and attending school, Liam witnessed fellow students come out as transgender and transition. This gave him the language to understand how he was feeling and his true gender identity. Liam did not formally come out until 2020, despite having these feelings all of his life.  Listen to the story of Liam’s incredible journey on the newest episode (and season!) of the Plastic Surgeon Podcast with Dr. Javad Sajan.

The Plastic Surgeon Podcast and Dr. Sajan welcome his patient, Evy Hauntings. Evy is an OnlyFans model who underwent breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Sajan in September 2020. She discusses her struggle to gain weight, which led to having smaller breasts and making her look extremely thin. Knowing for a while that she wanted breast implants, Evy found Dr. Sajan through a recommendation from another online creator.Evy grew up in the Bay Area. Having grown up with little food and in abusive situations led to Evy’s natural skinniness. As she grew older, she tried to gain weight because she wanted a modeling career but believed she was too skinny to be successful. Trying to gain weight, Evy visited doctors and dieticians who found no physical or mental reason why she could not gain weight. Therefore, Evy began considering plastic surgery to get a fuller chest.To raise money for her breast augmentation, Evy created an OnlyFans account. She already had a following online and many of her follows were willing to pay for her content and additional content. Charging $50 per month (among the highest monthly charges on all of OnlyFans), it took her a few months to save enough money to come to Dr. Sajan. Evy was already set on surgery with Dr. Sajan. Due to her small chest, she believed she would need larger implants such as 600cc or higher. However, Dr. Sajan recommended 440cc breast implants to better fit her frame. Evy loves her results and feels more confident after surgery.You can find Evy across the internet at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/licktheblade/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/evyhauntings?lang=enTiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeUVpEgJ/Onlyfans: https://onlyfans.com/evignehauntings/photosLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lickthebladeSubscribe to the Plastic Surgeon Podcast for more plastic surgery stories from real patients and providers.
