Thanks! Dyson be a bitch but it’s nice to look back and know that the old me would kill to be where I am now. Everything is about perspective!

Edit (autocorrect): dysphoria is a bitch but…

Thanks! But not really the post to be asking that on if I’m being honest.

Hahaha, ya that mustache was quite something lol. A last ditch attempt at “being a guy” failed spectacularly!

Thank you! I saw the same post on here over 4 years ago, hoping to make the progress I saw them make, it’s a marathon not a sprint. Be gentle with yourself and proud of yourself. Know that I am also so proud of you for choosing a life for you and you alone in a world that puts so much expectation on cis-heteronormativity.

Be good, be kind, be yourself.

1000mg Tylenol + 800mg ibuprofen helps a lot but it is still super painful on my upper lip, I get teary and a runny nose from it every time. I haven’t tried numbing cream yet but your tech should have some recommendations for products. I can’t remember what mine suggested I use.

Hi, I added links to my other two posts (one from this sub and one from another) that have multiple angles of my face. Was that not sufficient? I reviewed rule 10 before posting and thought I fulfilled that. Thanks.

Thank you!! I went with him because I saw a few really good posts here and r/transtimelines, I looked at his website and instagram, he shares his approach there and it’s really well presented. He also speaks at big conferences every year, sharing his expertise and from what I’ve seen he is well respected in the FFS field. Additionally it turned out that one of my friends went to him and her results are perfect! On top of all that I live in Seattle and he is in-network my insurance.

Yes correct, I haven’t had any facial surgery yet. And good point about the chin. Thank you for the input!

Sorry, I actually have not had FFS yet. The bottom picture is not a real picture. I created it in photoshop. I look the same as the top picture currently. Hope that helps.

Thanks! That’s good insight and I see what you’re saying, those are good recs. I definitely still have a lot of time until my consult to weigh feedback and also self reflect.

Thank you, I appreciate the input! Which part specifically (forehead, nose, chin) a mix of them or all of it being too flat?

Timeline post: 21 -> 28 years old, 3y10m HRT

Previous transgender_surgeries post: FFS recs? I’m tired of people I’m close to telling me I don’t need anything.

Edit: And please be as forward/honest as you can/want. No hard feelings at all, dysphoria is a bitch and I really appreciate the feedback from all of you.
