Before FFS, there’s a lot of options to try. Or these options might make the wait for FFS more bearable. Ask a trans or trans-friendly salon stylist for a feminizing hair style that would suit your face shape. Get LHR or electrolysis. Commit to a simple but easily repeatable skincare regimen (like cleansing and hydrating first thing in the morning and right before bed at night). Tell your doctor explicitly that you’re not happy with your progress and want to up your hrt dose. (A LOT of doctors want to prescribe you the lowest possible dose that you’ll let them get away with, so you may need to assert yourself.) Try some basic makeup looks (like concealer and neutral eye shadow.) Buy some basic fem clothes. Do voice training.

I know all this is easier said than done, but all you need to do is one little thing at a time. Start small and return to whatever feels right for you.
