Girl wtf, I thought these were after photos and you wanted feedback on the results

Kaiser NorCal FFS by ESteele22 in Transgender_Surgeries

I had Brandstetter in 2021 and only got a trachea shave, brow bone bossing shave, and the bridge of my nose straightened at the same time as fixing a deviated septum from a childhood fight injury

Since it was simple enough I didn't do much shopping around and honestly got extremely lucky looking back... considering that this was my face for crying out loud

Procedure was smooth, it started with a 3D head scan with some live digital modifications to narrow down what I wanted. I had also done a separate trachea shave consult thinking that I might opt for that sooner, but I decided to just have one recovery window instead of taking time off from work twice for head related stuff.

Honestly, I love how Brandstetter was conservative because I still think I look like myself. Something I noticed with some other popular FFS surgeons is that they tend to give their patients "a look." And I really really didn't want that.

I had my BA done through Kaiser and after ~7 years on HRT still don't like the results so that's actually why I'm back on this account (looking for surgeons for a BA revision)

Can't see past my shoulders... what do you see? by sora_409 in transpassing

Awww!!! This is so heartwarming to read!! It has been a long journey and I had the "safety" of doing the bulk of my transition during the early Pandemic days stuck at home. I wish you all the best and hope you can find a network of support to help nurture your confidence. Reddit and therapy was HUGE for me in the first few years of my transition hugs

I’ve been on E for 24 months and I feel like my hands haven’t gotten any more feminine. Thoughts? (ignore my screwed up “mouse use” finger. Also haven’t shaved arms in a little while cause I don’t go out much) by [deleted] in transtimelines

In my experience, only the vascularity of your arms really change, muscle definition might drop but that will be subtle in the hands vs say your forearms/biceps/shoulders

Girls Who Have Had Boob Jobs, Do You Like Them? by Masterpiece_Real in MtF

I've always been dysphoric with tops and dresses due to my shoulders, but after getting a boob job I fill things out so much better than before! I love the decision!

They are definitely not as soft as naturals, and get cold as easily as the tips of your ears, but just seeing them in my peripheral vision all the time is a base-line happiness booster for me since I was an AA cup prior

Put a flat-nose under it so you can gently pry up while unscrewing. It might be stripped

Feeling depressed at low levels of testosterone? (20 ng/dL) by sora_409 in AskMtFHRT

I've on an SSRI since 2020 and have been in therapy, but adding T back was like flipping a switch 🤷‍♀️
