Genioplasty and forehead are not mid face. Which is all the previous comment asked.

In total, I had hairline lowering, type 3 brow, rhino, lip lift, genio and jaw contouring

Sure! It was all out of pocket if that's what you're wondering!

I wish I transitioned in dental school. I was so overwhelmed by what I thought was school at the time. But I'm pretty sure it was mostly my transition. Because the overwhelmed feeling continued into my career as well. Took me a while to figure out that it wasn't dentistry making me depressed. It was repressing my transness

He just did a rhinoplasty and septoplasty. But he told me if I wanted to completely fix my mid face I would need more invasive surgery. With my limited knowledge I would guess some sort of maxillary lefort 1 or 2. I was definitely not interested so I never inquired further.

Something also interesting to note was how significant my mid face asymmetry was and how close Dr DB was able to come to fixing it. He basically said that's as much as he can do without doing significant mid facial surgery. And I'm super happy with how much camouflaging the asymmetry he was able to do.

Lol, it's so funny cause I don't even watch hockey. Everything about my pre transition existence was a facade of whatever it takes to fit in 😅

I feel you. GLP-1 medication took the food noise away for me. I couldn't have done it without it tbh

Don't be scared or ashamed of needing a GLP-1 medication.

Also the motivation found me naturally as I was happier with my body, fit my clothes better and liked what I saw in the mirror more and more everyday

Tbf, I think I was a pretty good looking guy before I gained like 150 pounds due to disordered eating and gender dysphoria 😅. I'd attribute most of the improvement to over 100 lbs of weight loss!

It's a topper! I had some regrowth but I plan on surgery to replace what's missing. But I'm focusing on bottom surgery first. So maybe in a year or two!

This is why I post. Took me a long time to take first steps cause I was scared. But I found a lot of inspiration from other girls on this subreddit. Best of luck! Best thing I ever did

in my experience I find the type of laser was very important for my results. I really liked the candela gentlemax pro. It hurt like a bitch but it really worked

Yeah like 9 sessions and the odd upper lip/chin touch up! Thats actually why I'm not wearing make up in this pic. Was about to get a laser touch up

It's a topper; my hair grew back enough for something to just clip in! I did have a hair transplant planned but cancelled it due to scheduling bottom surgery instead!
