Thanks Shantel! I will post pics as soon as i see that upload button

[Jennygirl]

i am unable to post any pictures on this forum...i probably don't have enough user rights to do so.

Currently there isn't an upload feature, so I always just use imgur. The only downside to imgur is if you don't want the pics to be totally public. I think you can make an account with them though so you could take an image down later. Personally for myself I don't mind though

If you do use imgur, just copy paste the bb code text to the right after the image uploads. Then your image will pop in once you paste that text and hit post. It's fairly self explanatory but let me know if you have any issues!

I use photobucket.  You can set privacy so no one can see your images even if they go to your photobucket profile, but you can get the image's html code and post via the img bbcode.

I had a great visit at Dr. Mayer's office today. The office literally seemed to be aglow!

Dr. Mayer had a long talk with me about Dr. Kim at Yeson which was kind of neat. I guess he had attended a conference and heard about the procedure. One of the employees had apparently found my interview video on youtube and they were all very impressed with the results!

Anyway Dr. Mayer was extremely pleased with how I am healing and was flattered when I motioned towards hiring him to do a little bit more work. Apparently in the plastic surgery business it is a really good sign if a patient comes back happily to do more. Well, duh! He's a great doctor!

We went over exactly what he would do to my nose should I decide to have the procedure, and I liked what I heard, so... much to my excitement I scheduled rhinoplasty with him on April 30th

I would have to say that it was definitely the best visit I have had with him so far. He was all smiles the whole time. I loved that. Highly recommend this doctor and his staff!

here are a few pix i took right after getting back from the Dr Mayer's Office Tuesday. Even though it's quite swollen  i can certainly tell the difference it has made to my face. Before surgery I was not very confident with my looks without makeup and always worried abt getting clocked and all particularly chopping my hair off ...but now even with all the swelling and no make up I feel i look very feminine.







Following pics were taken the same evening (3/18) (excuse the poor lighting).



Since then a lot of my swelling has gone down. I will take a few more pix in the next few days.

hey I am scheduled for my VFS with Dr Kim in May. Looking forward to it

[Jennygirl]

Looking great already! Can't wait to see the swelling come down I bet? Also your eyebrows look exactly like mine did right after surgery! I think they came down at least 4mm total.

Also congrats on Yeson! Sheesh, it's just crazy how many people are going there now! Too awesome! Congrats on your date with Dr. Kim too

[inspire]

Thanks! Dr Mayer also indicated it's going to go down within the next few weeks... but I really hope it does not go down a whole lot for I already love the current position.

You are inspiring inspire! You look very good and I believe that once the swollenness goes down you'll look great!

[Jennygirl]

Don't worry. When the swelling comes down you are just going to look better and better!

Don't forget to ice in the early days, it will lessen the swelling a ton! Also I found laying on my back with my head and upper back elevated (almost like laying in a hotel bed) extremely useful in helping the swelling find it's way out.

Seriously though, you're going to love it when the swelling comes down!

Inspire, you do look extremely feminine and quite pretty. I'm sure when all of the swelling has subsided you will be just gorgeous and I might add that passing will never be a question for you dear. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your kind words girlfriends . You girls are amazing <3. I am looking forward to seeing the final results once the swelling subsides and everything falls in place within the next few weeks even though my nose will continue to change for the next 12 months.

As per the swelling, drinking lots of water , getting a lot of rest with the head a little over the heart((using two pillows instead of one), foot soaking with epson salt and baking soda or even a bath has really made quite a difference in a very short time.

I do need to get bangs to hide the hairline incision...do u know how long before I can get a haircut after my surgery?

I also had my consultation with him Yesterday (via Skype) and had a great experience!  At one point I mentioned your name and that I've been inspired by your results, and he seemed quite happy to hear the reference.  I guess you were on his mind as well!  

I wondered how effective Skype would be, but since I had sent over a variety of photos for him to review a few weeks ago, the whole thing went very smoothly.  He was able to talk in detail about all the procedures he recommended, and answered all of my questions.  I'm sure its not as good as seeing him in person, but  I was able to get to know him, see his personality, and get comfortable with his techniques.  Overall I was impressed and much happier with him than some of the other doctor's I've had consultations with.

I'm all scheduled with him for April 15th and couldn't be more excited!  Gah, I can't believe its less than a month away!!

Here are a few more pics I took at the doc's office this morning. She was seeing me after 3 months and was like you look so different, your hormones are working for you...no one can second guess abt your past....

I was thrilled particularly because she could not tell I have had surgery just a week ago...no visible/obvious scars, natural results..and its still quite swollen. I look just a more feminine version of myself and not someone else and it was very imp for me. I think FFS was the right decision for me particularly when one transitions late as in my case.

You are a darling young woman and appear petite, I won't guess at your ethnicity but you look rather exotic. Your name is Riya? Congratulations on your good looks!

April 15th is coming soon! The excitement must be really starting to pick up about now

You are looking SO GOOD! Your eyes are all sparkly and you have the cutest smile.. I love it

I think it's quite obvious that when the swelling comes down you are going to look fab fab fab! Congratulations!

Thank you girlfriends for being so supportive and loving. You guys are awesome.  I already feel a part of a big group of friends helping each other in our pursuit of happiness and becoming the real gender that we are. Here are a few more pix from tonight...i still have swelling but cant quite tell with the make up on. Met a large group of friends I have not seen in the last 3 weeks and not one of them could tell I got ffs one but got a few compliments never the less . They thought I look different may be because I cut my hair short or something...I cant stop thanking Dr. Mayer for giving me such natural beautiful results..amazed at how my Trachea Shave scar so not visible at all even if the surgery is soo fresh...i was super concerned about that scar in particular but he was able to achieve it all with just one fine almost invisible incision. Thank you!






P.S: And yes my name is Riya

[Shantel]

You are truly beautiful and very natural looking Riya, a testimony to your basic good looks enhanced by the great skill of Dr. Mayer.

Riya,

Amazing results. I always knew that dr. Mayer is a great doctor but this time i can only say wow

[inspire]

Thanks for those loving comments.... Even though it is still swollen i am very pleased with his work. He is an awesome surgeon. So if you are planning on getting FFS I would highly recommend Dr. Mayer.
