My Facial Feminization Surgery Story | Gia Gunn

🎬SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL (es gratis!): bit.ly/GiaGunnE...
Follow me on my journey to Facial Feminization Surgery, better known as FFS. This was by far one of the most difficult times in my transition. I chose to expose this process and myself in hopes of educating those who are contemplating going under the knife and/or getting any gender-affirming surgeries. I hope from this video you feel more connected to me as a person and not just a TV personality. The way I shot this was very raw, candid and REAL to show that we are all humans in transition. I want to thank all of YOU who have supported me since Day 1 and have never given up on me and my journey to being my most authentic self. From the bottom of my little trans heart, I love you guys so much!
Special shout out to Dr. Harrison Lee, Vilma and staff for making this a comforting process! www.harrisonlee...
Also want to thank Nurse JB for taking the best care of me post surgery, I definitely recommend her if you are in the Los Angeles. Here is her contact info: [e-mail]
Lastly to all of my dear friends and family who showed up for me during this pivotal point in my transition, know that your kindness will never be forgotten!
Love,
Gia

Can we talk about how amazing Gia's family and dad are? Her dad is so supportive and loving.

Such a gorgeous loving wonderful family

When I was in college I spent all my money to go see you. When I met you you asked if I was going to buy some merch and I told you id love to but I was a broke college student. You then called your assistant and got a picture and signed it for me and told me " thank you for coming this is for you". That meant a lot to me and will never forget it. So proud of you

[@StarryEyedTarot]

Wow…that is really touching.

[@GiaGunnEntertainment]

omg I love this!!!

[@LuluLuscious]

NGL, Gia get so much negativity online, I though this story was going to go SOUTH after the beginning part. HOWEVER, I'm now starting to watch her KZbin videos and I JUST LOVE HER HEART SHINING THROUGH. A lot of folks will judge her for her cattiness on RPDR-- YOU CAN'T DENY SHE IS GREAT TV! And she "ABSOLUTELY" SERVES! Deep down, I knew this is what Gia does-- goes the extra mile for her fans. I am so glad you got that signed photo and can share this interaction. Can't wait to come support you again, GIA GUNN BOOM BOOM REALNESS!

[@lalethium]

Gia's dad is what all dads need to aspire to be

[@Bloody_Corpses]

True my dad just tells me I'm a burden and there's something wrong with me

[@JKumaD]

Whoever the nurse is who told you she loves you and you'll be alright, give her a raise!

Not gonna lie this video really made me see Gia in a different light. I feel like I finally saw Gia the person. You look amazing! ❤

So happy to see Gia back and being so vulnerable! Love to see a sister living her life and getting what she wants❤

We are all in this together ❤

[@Brandoncye]

I love at the end when Gia says, "I'm a real person, I don't always have a clean home." I felt that! In my bones! Totally Relatable! Love her even more now! ❤️

[@feelingveryattackedrn5750]

I really cried watching this and that note from your Aunty. Obviously your appearance is so important to you as it is for everyone and I hope you get that validation from everyone in your life like you do from us who admire you. But that love from your aunt the little things like saying she admires your home and your hard work and persistence, that goes so much further than affirmations of beauty. Sure your mother is insanely proud of you.

[@johanneshalberstadt3663]

Her dad sounds so loving and caring and supportive...

[@AshleySassypants]

The beginning of you talking with your dad honestly made me cry 😭😭😭😭 Keep being you, Gia! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I appreciate this so much, Gia. I just started my transition and to see you go through it, not only educates me but also inspires me to be my real self. Thank you babe

[@beevonerd]

Gia you're so beautiful, this was incredibly touching. I loved all the little nuances involved here, especially the part where you said you still wanted to look Japanese. So many ppl get surged up and erase everything about who they were, so I thought that was really awesome to hear. I hope we get more videos from you soon, this was a great journey to be on w you! 🖤🏳️‍⚧️

That letter from your aunty was just amazing! what a blessed family, It was great to know you better and see that vunerable side of you! ♥

[@niecithomas8130]

This video was pure love and support. So happy for you. ❤

[@missluk2267]

I come from Europe, I am watching this video shocked, how much the patient has to do on their own - horrible. And the nurse took out the drain - the hole was not closed?! In Europe you would have to pay for the surgery, but you would stay at a clinic/ hospital and would be supervised by the doctor and nurses during the first ten days, as we have health insurance in here. Of course, I am interested to know how much the surgery and everything did cost.

[@Darthlauralou]

I saw you at Latrice’s show in LA last fall and you looked so gorgeous! Sending you all the positive vibes ♥️ 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Super razor sharp wit making some feel she is mad mean, yet along with it a heart of gold. My fav combo. Gia Gunn can get it. xx

[@Alien_cancerian]

I don't even know if you will read this but I wanna say this video made me cry so hard. I am a 23yo pansexual babe who is exploring gender in a not so traditional way who has had multiple medical procedures done for health reasons. I have lots of trans and non binary folks in my chose familly and this is really nice to see you living your real life, getting surgery and showing the rough side. Ive had knee surgery at 16yo and no one my age in my friend group knew how bad I needed this surgery but also how rough recovery is. If it wasn't for my familly who helped me through it I really don't know how I would have done it. I also think that its important for young trans folks to see like that it is a very long recovery. Getting surgery is dangerous and comes with risks and the recovery is no jokes. All that to say I am sending you much love from canada and I am very happy to see you with your support system strong around you because you truly deserve the best babe! Thank you for inviting us into your life, its truly a priviledge to see you grow!

[@jinh817]

❤ People shouldn’t assume that who you are online/TV doesn’t sum you up 100%. People should kinder and more understanding. If everyone was summed up based on an edit / a joke / reaction we’d all look bad. Humans are complex. This video shows that you have deep feelings, you’re care a’lot about others and a very sentimental person (which explains your tough persona). Your tough, because the world has forced you to be (in order to survive & thrive). Also, it’s not your fault people take everything to heart, and expect you to be “perfect” and not make mistakes.

[@caibra88]

Sometimes it's 100 percent accurate too

[@jinh817]

@@GiaGunnEntertainment Thank you, for keeping it 100%, and shame on them for not recognizing you as the queen you’ve been being. Not everyone is going to get you, and that’s ok. It’s their problem, not yours. We’re only human… 💔❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I found it impossible to not hope and pray for you to be taken care of by your doctors and for you to be happy with your results. I think you taught me something and opened my eyes by sharing this experience. Thank you, Gia. You’re beautiful inside and out. Sending love and good energy your way.

[@doctor.girlfriend]

I think you look so beautiful, make up or not. And I do absolutely see a difference post-op, its just a natural subtle perfect look. I do think you should wait as long as you comfortably can for the swelling to go down on your face. It really can take a long time, and I could already see small changes in the clips from you visiting the dr for the impromptu post po check in, to your testimonial at the end. So excited to see more updates hopefully along your journey!
