Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney unveils results of her facial feminization surgery

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has revealed the highly-anticipated results of her facial feminization surgery with an old-Hollywood-inspired glam shoot.

The 26-year-old actress and activist, who has more than 10.3 million followers on TikTok, underwent the procedure in mid-December. She unveiled her new look at instagram six weeks later, on Friday, January 27.

The cinematic video opens with a title card reading “Dylan Mulvaney starring in “The Face Reveal”.” A red velvet curtain opens and shows her doing a dramatic ballet dance to Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake.”

Mulaney is dressed in an aquamarine two-piece outfit with a flower petal skirt, shiny silver boots, and sheer elbow-length gloves. Her dark hair is pulled back in a slippery bun that draws attention to her face during close-ups.

After a brief stage call, she returns to the stage wearing an Audrey Hepburn-inspired black strapless gown, matching gloves and pearls.

Mulvaney bows and turns for the audience. she blows one last goodbye kiss before closing the velvet curtain for the last time.

‘You know I have a gift for drama, but it’s so good, right?’ she says of the face of her backstage. ‘I’m so happy, and I’m still me. It’s just a little softer of a version.

“I just hope that all trans and non-binary people can get the gender affirming resources they need because this is life-changing and sometimes life-saving.

“So, thank you very much for supporting me, and we have a lot to catch up on,” he tells his fans. ‘Love you.’

The nearly two-minute video has been viewed more than 4.6 million times and has received more than 950,000 comments.

Mulvaney thanked everyone who helped make the clip in the photo possible, including his “wonderful doctor,” Dr. Harrison H. Lee, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California.

She also shared a series of stunning black and white images from the shoot in a second Instagram post that she captioned ‘PART 2: The Actress’.

The TikTok star revealed that she underwent facial feminization surgery on December 16 while sharing videos of her waking up and being taken to a medical facility.

Five days later, she posted a video of herself in her hospital bed. Her head was completely bandaged and her cheeks, nose and chin were covered with gauze.

Dots could also be seen on her upper lip and she appeared to have bruises around her mouth and under her eyes.

“I miss you all already and I’m fine, so thanks for supporting me,” he rasped in the video. ‘I love you so much, thank you, I love you!’

Facial feminization surgery refers to a wide range of procedures to modify and soften male facial features to make them more feminine.

This can include forehead reconstruction, hairline reduction and reshaping, brow lift, jawline surgery, and rhinoplasty. Surgeons may also choose to shave the windpipe to reduce the size of the Adam’s apple.

In total, the surgeries can cost between $20,000 and $50,000, out of pocket.

Mulvaney has previously said that her “Days of Girlhood” series, in which she documents each day since her transition, effectively pays for her surgeries.

“A lot of the initial deals were tailored to my queer and transgender character,” she told The Creators newsletter in October. “For some of these big corporations, I was actually their first trans creator. It’s exciting to earn money to support myself since I lost my job and have my transition surgeries covered as well.’

As previously reported by DailyMail.com, Mulvaney was set to earn more than $1 million by 2022, just from promoting teeth-whitening strips, lipsticks and other products on TikTok.

Industry insiders who broker commercial endorsement deals for TikTok creators say Mulvaney earns at least $100,000 each month by showcasing brands in his popular “Days of Girlhood” series.

They describe Mulvaney, who is represented by Los Angeles-based Creative Artists Agency (CAA), as a savvy operator likely to get paid $25,000 to $50,000 every time she posts about her sponsors, including Ulta Beauty, Haus Labs, Crest, Instacart, EOS, and Cerave.

Assil Dayri, founder of London-based AMD Consulting Group, which helps companies grow their reach on social media, for example, said Mulvaney’s platform was “very lucrative” and “easily” brought her $100,000. dollars a month.

“Dylan could become a public figure, appear more on TV, get more press coverage and even become a brand ambassador and work with LGBTQ organizations to raise awareness about the transition,” Dayri told DailyMail.com.

The influencer’s meteoric fame was boosted by her interview with President Joe Biden in October, when the president said states shouldn’t be able to regulate the availability of such surgeries.

“I don’t think any state or anybody should have the right to do that,” she said when Mulvaney asked whether red states should have the right to pass laws limiting access to gender-affirming treatments.

“As a moral issue and as a legal issue, I think it’s wrong,” Biden continued. ‘Sometimes they try to block you so you can’t access certain medications, certain procedures, etc.’

“I mean, no state should be able to do that, in my opinion,” he added. “So I feel very, very strongly that you should have all solitary rights, including the use of your gender identity toilets in public.”

Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, and Arizona have enacted laws or policies that restrict youth’s access to gender reassignment treatment, care, and surgery. In some cases, these laws impose penalties on adults who facilitate access to this care.

Republican lawmakers pushing for legislation that would regulate gender-affirming surgeries and treatments in these states argue that they are dangerous and could cause irreversible changes in younger patients.

Most of the legislation in red states has focused on minors, not adults.
