Facial changes

[Mollie]

Soon I'm about to step off the cliff, take a one way ticket, etc etc. Anyway, when, if at all, after starting hrt did you start to notice facial changes; when did others start to notice? Yesterday I got "Sir" twice in the same shop (grrrr) despite other visual clues and pointers. Honestly I thought the wedding dress would have been enough!!

By the way some of the verification questions are a bit steep! It's like a test for MENSA. (Dyed my hair blond)

Honestly I don't feel I've had any facial changes and its been almost 18 months. Now saying that, others who know me well have said they do notice some changes (cheeks a little fuller, etc). Seeing yourself every day, you probably won't notice for a while. Heck, electrolysis seems to do more for my face than the hormones do.

Moisturizer, hair styling, eye brow shaping, beard removal have all had a greater effect on me than HRT.  Five months of HRT in nine days.

The bulk of my changes didn't start coming til about 10 months in.

I got to thinking today that, I've seen some amazing changes in some people in real life.  I know the changes can come.  Just, sometimes, those people feel like a mirage.  Especially as I look in the mirror and see so much the same.

Though when I dress androgynously (t-shirt, jeans) now people at least seem puzzled.  Maybe there's hope?

You've only been on HRT for like 5 months and change there is more then just hope and plus you're looking great in your avatar!

I'm at 4.5~ months in and I THINK my cheeks are a little fatter than usual. I can't be sure since I have no picture to compare to when I'm making a certain face.  Just normal, doesn't look like I have, but making that fake smile face, seems like something happened.

Thanks for all the answers folks but not what I was looking for. Try again! It should go something like this.

I used to look like Gerard Butler's uglier brother after a stag weekend in Ibiza then after just one dose of hrt, the next morning I was the image of Selena Gomez.

(I'm guessing though that in reality I perhaps shouldn't get my hopes up too much).

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. So, yes... As a golden rule - the less You would expect, the happier You will be with Your results afterwards
