Several years ago, Pari Roehi came to Facialteam to have a feminizing forehead reconstruction, which changed the volumes of the brow bone and shape of the eye orbits. She was overjoyed with the results, which helped her to gain the confidence she needed to work towards her full potential as a model and artist. Fast forward to 2020.
