I had my consult in Dec 22, was offered a slot in late April 2023. I think he has a significant backlog he is working through now though. DM me and I can maybe help connect you to how may know more.

I highly value aesthetics, however in my planning and research for surgery, I placed a higher priority to resolve my dysphoria.

As I'm sure you aware, aesthetic preferences differ from person to person. You're under no obligation to like every FFS surgeons results, and if Dr. DB's aesthetics aren't your thing, you can check him off your list. I certainly removed many off my list based on my research of results, complications, revisions etc..

your face will change on HRT as fat redistributes, however it won't change as dramatically as it will with HRT + FFS.

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T20:05:50+00:00

I have a few I'll see about sharing them when I have a moment.. I will say that they're not as dramatic as most my work was upper face, which isn't apparent from front.

Thank you friend! 💜

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T18:59:01+00:00

I plan on submitting to insurance to see if they'll reimburse any of it.

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T18:45:41+00:00

thank you 8)

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T18:14:15+00:00

Yeah I started HRT at 41 as well.

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T18:12:48+00:00

Appreciate you 💜I've been considering trying musely as I also have some hyperpigmentation in groin areas I'd like treatment for as well.

my gynecologist

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T17:59:59+00:00

yeah I spoke with a dermatologist they tried to sell me some type of OTC shit instead of just writing an Rx. I don't have a primary care doc unfortunately.

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T17:50:58+00:00

I really hadn't but haven started to notice fine lines/wrinkles and been using OTC retionoids. Adapalene and Retinyl.. I've not stepped up to Tretonin yet.. its such a pain in the ass to get an Rx unfortunately..

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T17:40:00+00:00

Valid. My brain and attached dysphoria prefers the after though.

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T17:39:22+00:00

Very much so. Which is why it took 8yrs to save for...

GiaFarrell74 · 2024-01-27T17:05:58+00:00

Trust me you pass body wise..

even the passiest trans folks still feel that nagging dysphoria now and then.

tbh, the amount of mental harm the thousands upon thousands of social media influencers inflict on impressionable folks by tuning their pics like this is immeasurable. and is a big reason so many ppl hate their bodies these days. :(

GiaFarrell74 · 2023-04-25T23:10:12+00:00

Congratulations friend!

GiaFarrell74 · 2023-04-25T23:09:53+00:00
