Correcting shoulder / waist / hip ratios

[Shantel]

Dahlia is right, the pelvic and hip bones create a wider and different geometric relationship between the thighbones than those parallel thighbones of a cis male.

Female is more like this:  V

Male is more like this: ii

[Heather]

Seriously why are we so focused on hip joints? Do I have male hip joints yes do I care no! There is a lot of things that can get us clocked and I doubt hip joints is one of them. The only people focusing on these parts is us no one else really cares. 

[BurningBrilliance]

Honestly, I'm a little dissappointed how this thread turned out. I'm planning on getting having body contouring surgery in the future and I was really hoping to see someone else go through with it, oh, well. 

Anyway I'm going to have to do a little research of my own then, wish me luck.

Not much to do with anything really, females do walk and move differently though just because of that difference. I'm certainly not going to ask any female to drop her drawers so that I can discern whether she is biologic or not.

Yeah they do but with some practice you can move just like a woman.

One of the reasons I opted out of the MtF designation for androgyne is that there's so much male stuff to unlearn and so much female stuff to learn, I'm too damned lazy to make a concerted effort. I don't want to have a big wardrobe loads of shoes or absolutely be unable to leave the house without making up my face and doing my nails, but I digress and am guilty of inadvertently moving off topic.

Very true. But this also applies to SRS, BA and FFS.

[Heather]

I'm kinda guilty myself with the SRS. But I'm not doing that for anyone else but myself.

Yeah I will admit you kinda have to be somewhat dedicated I've spent the past two weeks practicing my walk on a treadmill for forty minutes a day. And walking like that everywhere I go. Yeah it's not to easy but it's not really all that hard either. Now my voice that's a whole different story.

That's a good enough reason if ever there was one.

Yes you are making big progress Heather. But like Nicolette mentioned FFS, I need it huge but can't afford it now and am unwilling to eventually because of my age. Even though I have the desire I had to concede that this is a younger person's endeavor.

Speaking FFS I would never have it but the feature of my face that bothers me the most is my nose. But the thought of not being able to breath properly out of my nose for quite sometime scares me too much to ever consider having it fixed.

I can't count how many cis females had what I would consider much bigger problems than whatever you think you are seeing.

[Nicolette]

Regarding the female V gap, it's actually possible to give the optical illusion of a larger gap through liposculpture. By moving fat from the inner thighs to the outer thighs. I was on the verge of doing this when more pressing needs came to my attention.

Yes, I had to down a few beta-blockers when it came to surgery around my nose that blocked my nostrils. I had panic attacks from not being able to breath through my nose at night.

Consultation scheduled with Dr. Campos on August 22nd!!

They said they may be able to squeeze me in sooner, so maybe even sometime later this week!

My god they are busy. During the 10 minute call, the coordinator had to put me on about 5 short holds to answer all the incoming calls. Phone literally ringing off the hook. I have a good feeling about this. It's is exactly what I would expect from a top notch surgeon.

[Jennygirl]

And about the gap in between the legs- this is something I am aware of and I'm going to inquire about inner thigh lipo as part of the procedure.

[Ltl89]

I'm guessing you changed your mind?  Only you know what is right for you, so do what you feel is best.  Good luck and keep us updated!

[Jennygirl]

Oh, no, my mind hasn't changed. I didn't want implants even when I started the thread. I think fat transfer is the way to go for me. We will see what the doctor has to say!

Trying not to get my hopes up too much, though. I've lost a few lbs and I have a feeling he will say I need to gain a lot more to actually augment the hips.

Regardless, it's just a consultation and by no means indicative that I'll be having this surgery at all. I just really hope it works out!

[BurningBrilliance]

That's great to hear. I hope it turns out well.

[Nicolette]

He may not say this. The thing is, if you do gain weight for the procedure then you will need to maintain that weight in perpetuity to maintain the effect. But the fat cells won't die if you do go back to your lower weight. They'll just sit around sulking until you put weight back on.
