00:00 It's again for a surgery that we find Laura in Paris. So today I have my first appointment with a surgeon. Not for the breasts this time because I don't need them, for the face.
00:20 Now she wants to feminize her face. During the lockdown, wearing a mask has aroused a complex. What was cool was to hide her face with the mask. That was cool. But when it was necessary to remove it, it was less cool and I really realized that I didn't like this low of the face and that it prevented me from being fulfilled. And so I'm going to fix it.
00:46 The doctor is an aesthetic surgeon. He has already performed many feminization operations on transgender patients.
00:55 So, you come to see me, why? My nose, I would like it to be a little thinner, but I don't want to change my face. I still want to keep the same head. The jaw, maybe the chin, I also want to listen to what you have to say. And I have a very thin upper lip, I don't like it at all when I speak.
01:17 I'm going to ask you to sit on the chair, we're going to look at all this. Laura wants an FFS, that is to say a face feminization operation.
01:28 Lower your head a little bit, tighten your jaws. There is still a big muscle, that's for sure. And your angle is there. So I'm not convinced that a bone surgery on the jaw angle will change your square face a lot.
01:50 So, if I understood correctly, that's what bothers you? Yes.
02:03 To meet Laura's expectations, the surgeon suggests thinning his nose and jaw. He will also shorten his upper lip and suck a little fat under his chin.
02:16 The simulation is ultra natural, I'm happy. The goal is that I'm not a Barbie.
02:22 We do it like this? I propose to you, I make the order to do the scan.
02:30 Laura will have to do a scan before being operated. The intervention costs 5,000 euros, entirely at her expense.
02:37 So we stay in touch, I send you all this, you think about it and then we see each other later.
02:46 Meeting at the block in three months.
02:51 It's the day of the operation for Laura.
02:55 We're almost there? 50 meters, 40 meters. We arrive at the clinic. I took my little evil bag.
03:07 It's the big day.
03:12 And she films everything for her social networks.
03:15 Maxime is almost as nervous as his fiancée. He accompanies her to her admission to be sure that she has no problem.
03:26 This morning, there is one. Laura has changed her civil status, but in her file she finds the letter M for male instead of F for female.
03:38 She will have to correct everything.
03:42 I have to put "Madame" everywhere.
03:45 You have time, go ahead.
03:47 So...
03:50 Madame... It's not normal to do that.
03:55 But if your passport is not up to date.
03:58 Yes, but no.
04:01 There is F.
04:04 It's ambiguous, their reasons.
04:07 But it's normal, your security number starts with 2.
04:12 And I haven't been in Monnay for 6 years to be told to put an M.
04:16 So you put "Madame", right?
04:18 Of course.
04:19 You add a little M.
04:21 Because she is at the level of the civil state, but the papers that she has not yet redone.
04:25 These papers are obsolete, since they still indicate M.
04:29 The birth certificate has been modified to F and the security number has also been modified to 2.
04:36 I put "Madame" everywhere.
04:38 Because it's missing somewhere.
04:40 You see, civil status.
04:41 Yes, M, F, yes.
04:44 I don't know who you are.
04:47 Are you okay?
04:50 It's okay, there is "Madame" everywhere.
04:54 Madame Laura...
05:00 Wait, I don't understand, there is your deadname.
05:02 No, but you're stupid, you, damn.
05:06 It's not funny, only you can do that.
05:09 Madame Laura...
05:10 The deadname is the birth name.
05:13 Transgender people don't want to see it anywhere.
05:16 Come on.
05:20 The time of the passage to the block is approaching.
05:22 Until the last second, Laura shares everything with her 82,000 subscribers.
05:27 We're going up the stairs.
05:32 I feel a little stressed, but at the same time happy, excited and stressed at the same time.
05:38 You know, I have little tingles in my stomach.
05:40 But it's neither unpleasant nor pleasant.
05:47 They're going to come get you.
05:54 Here we go.
05:57 Let's go.
06:01 You're not going to say anything.
06:02 Yes, I'll take it.
06:08 Laura will stay for three and a half hours on the operating table.
06:13 See you later, Laura.
06:14 Have a good dream.
06:15 Good night.
06:17 We're going to start with the liposuction, then we'll do the jaw,
06:20 we'll put the probe in the middle, and we'll do the rhinoplasty, and we'll finish with the epiphyte.
06:25 The surgeon often operates on transgender patients, and they are always very motivated.
06:30 Oh yes, it's incredible.
06:32 It's not a whim, it's really something deep.
06:35 So there's a real motivation that takes its source in a real suffering.
06:40 It's a delicate surgery that involves several levels of the face.
06:46 So, at the nose level, she's looking for a thinner nose, and then the lower part of the face is modified.
06:52 But she's really going to need some light modifications too, so we're going to take care of that.
07:02 She has extensions, she says.
07:04 I hope we're not going to get them in with the...
07:08 It's okay, she'll do it again.
07:13 I'm going to take some pointy scissors and a non-betadined compress.
07:18 For Dr. Lachiver, operations on too young patients are too risky.
07:34 He often operates on them from the age of 20.
07:38 So, magnificent!
07:43 You haven't even damaged these extensions, and you can count all these signs.
07:48 Laura will have to be patient.
07:51 And there you go.
07:53 Her nose will take its final shape after a year.
07:57 Thank you.
08:07 This is Laura, Laura who is presenting today.
08:10 Nice to meet you.
08:12 I'm putting my things down.
08:14 Two months after her surgery, Laura can finally reveal her face.
08:20 She's invited to the studio.
08:23 Because beyond her own social media, she's being solicited by the media.
08:34 So, you're asking me questions?
08:37 Yes, I'm asking you to tell me what you're going to say.
08:39 Today, it's an interview for the cosmopolitan women's magazine.
08:42 I'm going to try.
08:44 I knew I was different.
08:46 And it's thanks to the internet, thanks to social media,
08:48 that I understood, that I saw what trans identity was.
08:51 And that's how I was able to put a word out there about what I felt.
08:54 And I understood that I was a trans person.
08:57 So, I completely locked myself in.
09:00 I was, I think, grumpy.
09:02 I didn't like people, I didn't like going out, I didn't like myself.
09:05 A true celebrity.
09:07 Through her videos, she inspires the new generation of trans people
09:14 who are transitioning from being more and more young,
09:17 or who, like her, are considering starting a family.
09:21 Which has not stopped raising ethical debates
09:24 in a society that must combine tolerance and prudence.
