Talk about new year, new you!
TikTok starDylan Mulvaneyreturned from a social media hiatus to reveal the results of her facial feminization surgery.
The creator, who rose to fame on social media for her series “Days of Girlhood” that documented her transition from day one, underwent intensive facial feminization surgery (FFS) in December. She’s been quiet on social media since then, while she healed.
Now that Mulvaney, whose last pre-FFS post on Instagram was Dec. 21, has fully recovered from the procedure, she is letting her fans in on her new look in the most high-fashion way possible.
On Friday, the creator posted a video to her Instagram account titled “The Face Reveal,” which sees her serve Old Hollywood glamour and futuristic fashion — as well as her fresh face.
Then, in a change of scenery, the red curtain closes, and the screen goes black and white. Mulvaney reappears in an Audrey Hepurn-style black dress, gloves and pearl necklace.
After closing the curtain one last time, Mulvaney appears backstage makeup free and in a basic tank to give a message to her fans who have been waiting for this reveal for over a month.
Saying in the video, “That’s a wrap on face reveal! Oh my gosh, hi! I missed you! You know I have a flair for the dramatics, but it’s so good, right? I’m so happy, and it’s still me; it’s just a little bit softer of a version, and I just hope that all trans and nonbinary people can get the gender-affirming resources that they need because this is life-changing and sometimes life-saving.”
The surgery, which is highly individual, is a gender-affirmation procedure that usually consists of softening “masculine” facial features and reshaping of body parts like the Adam’s apple. Although not everyone who transitions genders finds it necessary, it was something the influencer felt was an important step for her to make.
Mulvaney has become a voice for the trans and nonbinary communities. After amassing 10.3 million followers on TikTok, the creatorwas invited to the White Houseto speak withPresident Joe Biden, where she asked the president about his opinions on gender-affirming healthcare and whether states have the right to ban or restrict it.
