When Dragun was in preschool, she became aware of her differences.
She claimed in an interview with Forbes that she was quite sophisticated for her age and that when she was a preschooler, she wanted to wear dresses and be a princess. But one day, her teacher phoned her parents and questioned her about why she was dressing that way.
Dragun had to hide her true self and emotions because she experienced bullying and teasing as well. Dragun afterward became known as “the most feminine gay person” in their high school by dressing in slim jeans, handbags, and fake eyelashes.
She was fortunately welcomed for who she was by her pals.
To feminize her facial characteristics, Dragun underwent surgery in 2016. Before surgery, her entire face appeared completely different. She had her nose fixed, her hairline decreased, her brow bone, and her jawline shaved. Dragun then shared a second YouTube video regarding her breast augmentation experience.

Dragun discussed her transition and hormone therapy in a 2018 YouTube video titled “Have I Gotten THE Surgery.”
Dragun immediately acknowledged that she had a plastic surgery addiction. She explained that she had conducted extensive research on the shift and had been highly strategic throughout.
She clarified that the procedure was always the same, with hormone therapy serving as the first step. She stated that the procedure was lengthy, though, because she abruptly changed from feeling, thinking, and acting like a guy to a woman with breast tissue growth.
Dragun revealed that as her face changed so significantly, she began to judge her appearance and began to get more and more cosmetic treatments done.
When I was finished, I started thinking about the next item right away, like my breast, and then another thing. And I’ve been going through this change for three years.
Dragun continued, “I felt such pressure to have a particular level of confidence that when there was nothing left to fix, I needed to find something new to mend.” She admitted that as a result, she had a serious problem that needed to be fixed.
But all of that is now in the past. The beauty influencer of today exudes confidence and motivates people.
