honestly those result pics are kind of... gross. It just doesn't look aesthetically pleasing anymore. in fact with both of these http://www.drchugay.com/images/stories/2010procedures/hip_augmentation_front.jpg http://www.drchugay.com/images/stories/2010procedures/hip_augmentation_back.jpg it looks a lot better in the before.
It's just my opinion, but overexxageration of the featres isn't going to aid in beauty unless you're aiming for a ghetto booty.
I completely agree, she looked 100% better before than after, it looks over exaggerated to the max. She had a great waist to hip ratio to begin with and now it is too much. That is not the case for me, my frame/pelvis is super tiny and my hips are nonexistent. This has been the longest acting aspect of my dysphoria, it started as soon as I hit puberty.
Ausbelle- HRT is not going to change my pelvic width, and it's not going to give me the curvature that I want. That's ok!! HRT is not so different from other methods of feminization including augmentations and surgeries. It's all with one goal in mind: get that dysphoria outta here.
I'm not interested in it for "beauty". I'm interested because it would make me feel more congruently aligned with the girl that I've always felt inside and always wanted to be seen as. Having a correct waist to hip ratio has LITERALLY been a dream of mine since I started noticing other girls' bodies starting to change and I was at a severe loss in my own. Now, for me, it is too late without surgical correction. There are no amount of squats or time on orbitals that will change that, and my diet is the best it's ever been and not changing (tons of healthy fats, low sugar/carbs/gluten/dairy).
MaidofOrleans- he can do 1" at most on each hip. That to me is a huge difference, and I probably don't need the full extension- but I haven't done the actual measurements on my own body.. I'm too afraid to see the damage.
I'd been padding my hips since I was in middle school because I wanted that feminine ratio so badly, but now I can't do it because it feels "fake" putting it on when the rest of my body is changing for real from the skin level. A padded bra I can handle because I do actually have breasts even if they are small, but padded hips make me feel like a phony- and as soon as the clothes come off it's back to that dysphoric feeling...
So, yes, you could say I am "striving" for that curvy body
