Hmm, I may be able to get away with him for under 30K, but I was hoping for around or under 20K.

If I do end up choosing Meyer, I expect you to visit me in recovery! :D

Duhhh! As a few of my other trans friends online were there for me when I needed it most, I am more than happy to extend the help in any way :)

Jenny,

Each day you look better!  Your posts are making me excited for my surgery.  (Ooooo.. I am taking a day and driving down for a face-to-face with Dr Z to work out a few more details on Feb. 10.)

Thank you Hugs!

Jen

PS - I have a F18 class cat that I play with up on my lake.  Totally fun!!

Sounds great! Pretty soon you will have a date booked and you'll be counting down the days! They go by so fast.

Today was great. Actually instead of sailing my friends built a huge platform and erected a 2 story house on it. It was pretty neat!

Well you look amazing!  I'm going to need to start saving my money better.  I have about $10k saved up so hopefully that can get me started with the laser and hormones.  Then hopefully by the end of the year I will have the money saved for a trip to South Korea :)

I think I will need a little more work done when it comes to FFS though, and I might need to get hair transplants before then, too, but I am hoping HRT really helps in that department as I am balding pretty badly right now.  :-\



Sounds like you are well on your way to saving up :) That is great!! I would still have to say that bang for buck the VFS made a much bigger difference, but the FFS is gaining traction and fast. Not having to wear makeup is all that I thought it would be and more.

Jenny, hi. May I ask where you had VFS as I'd like to get that very much as well. Have you already posted about this? If you have I'm sorry.... I have to tell you that you look fantastic and the fact that you became your true self in only a year, that's so impressive!
Thanks,
Samantha

Hi Samantha! I went to Yeson Voice Center in S. Korea.. you can find the thread about my experience here.

Thanks for the kind words :)

3 weeks have come and gone!

The usual.. Swelling is continuing to resolve, and my brows seem to have dropped around 1mm each since my last photo post. I think my left brow still has a little bit more to go as is evident by the swelling still present near the hairline incision on the left side. The swelling atop my nose is considerably less, and I'm starting to see the contours of my face again = yaaayy! I am looking forward to not feeling like a balloon head! :D

Last night I had a bit of pus ooze out near the middle of the incision. I freaked out for a second but then wiped it away with some hydrogen peroxide and then applied some polysporin after it had dried. In the morning all that was left was a small little scab about 1mm wide. You can kind of see it in the first pic, but really it is unnoticeable and I'm pretty sure it was just a trapped hair as Mayer warned me about.

Here is a photo waiting at a red outside of work this morning (sorry for the crazy hair thing going on, I dry it on the way to work by opening up all the windows ;)):


And then tonight. Usually I would hate this lighting: strong overhead light that used to cast an enormous shadow over my eyes. Not really a concern I have anymore :)


There is still a lot of swelling getting trapped in the very middle of my forehead, the indentation test still works really well.

Getting lots of eye batting from people at work (I just started a short gig on Monday) and I don't think anyone suspects at all that I am trans. A really cute producer (kinda looks like Tom Cruise) sat next to me and was kind of awkward and soft spoken in the most adorable of ways. You could smell the sexual tension in the air. And then... Disaster struck. Later on I overheard him talking to one of the other freelancers about his WIFE. Buzzkill! Oh well :P

Geezo doll baby, looking lovely! Looks like the eyebrows have settled down a lot lending to the very pretty eyes, as the valley girls used to say, totally awesome!

Jenny,

You are looking great.  One thing, the photo of you prior to work...you have beautiful eyes.  Wow.  Most of the photos I have seen are always profile so you can't see them well.  But they are wonderful.

Hugs,

Jen

To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

You are sooo beautiful! Your transition has been nothing short of incredible and such a huge inspiration!

Thank you Shantel, Jen, and Christina. Very sweet of you to say.

It makes me happy to hear that I am able to inspire people, it feels like I'm returning the favor somehow :) I hope to have a new transition video done soon, maybe at around the 15 month mark

Hi Jenny,

Just wanted to say you look so lovely, and that I'm sure to many your sweetness and journey will be a wonderful comfort and reassurance to them. I transitioned 12 years ago and recently had jaw surgery (been waiting for the right time to do it, and now at 30 decided to just get on with it) -- but it's been wonderful to follow your journey and hear your glowing positivity.

Take care,
V xx

Hi Jenny
I have been following your YouTube channel from the start and recently saw you on Susans.
. I loved your voice surgery before and after video...just amazing .
I can't wait to see all your progress in a new clip.
Much respect to you for your courage and determination to be who you felt you are.
I know many of the girls find you inspiring and I can see why .
Blessings to you,
a fellow LA Girl :)=

Ahhh too much! You are all so great :)

Thank you!!

Today is 25 days since the surgery and I definitely have all of my energy back. I've been working like a crazy person to save up for SRS. 74 hours this week!! :icon_boxing:

Attention from guys at work has been kinda nuts- definitely something I never expected and very affirming to say the least. I'm completely stealth without a care in the air and I honestly never fully expected to get to that point. I mean I always had a hope to have the option, but I was fine either way. I don't mind people knowing I'm trans.

Above all I just want to say how it is so super fun to be a nerdy girl with "masculine" interests. I love shocking guys with what I'm into ;) The FFS has been a great success. I've never felt so relaxed and free.

Brows continuing to drop and still in deflation mode but getting closer I think!

Jenny,

I comment on this thread so often that I feel like an on-line stalker......

However, I'm seeing more and more what to expect.  I'm also seeing a beautiful woman shining from the inside.  That is the real reason men are beginning to notice more....

I also have a question.....or I can make another post.  What would the normal recovery time be for someone who gets extensive FFS?  How fast can I get out in the sun???  I'll have the DR opinion next week but they sometimes get a little caried away.

Hugs,

Jen

Wow Jenny, you look fantastic. 

I love being a nerdy girl too.  I just wish I could do it in public like you.

I'm so happy for you.

Dawwww :D Thank you Jen!

To answer your question, I have heard the surgeries in the lower regions of the face take a bit longer to un-swell because everything moves down the face and it gets trapped with nowhere to go in the chin/jawline.

I can also imagine having rhinoplasty would increase the swelling considerably. I didn't even have a nose job and my face was still very swollen there.

Thank you Janet. 24/7 nerd is where it's at! I have a feeling you will eventually get there. And besides there's no reason to hide it, being a nerd is IN!

I know early on I was strictly against anything that could gender me male including a lot of my core interests/activities. I've talked to many MtFs who said the same happened to them when they were in transition. At some point though you have to stop caring and have to be the real you- irrespective of what you may feel you need to do in order to "pass". It's funny because at the time it felt like I really would never be interested in certain things anymore, but all of my old interests came rushing back to me in what seemed like a gigantic gust.

Self acceptance really is the major key in a transition. Without it, you end up just pretending to be someone else all over again.

Thanks for the kind words Jenny.  Being a Nerd in public isn't a problem at all.  I accepted and embraced my nerdness a long time ago (and I am just about as nerdy as they come).   It's being a girl in public that I cannot do.  It took me until just about a year ago to accept my internal gender.  However, because it took so long, I have built a life around being a male to the outside world (wife and 5 year old son, depend on me financially), and since I work for a very conservative company (that pays me a lot of money)  in a very red state, that financial status is dependent on me staying in the closet about my true gender. 

Be that as it may, if I can ever get back my girlish figure (I was pretty thin in my late 20s), I totally am going to go to a convention and cross-play as batgirl (my favorite comic book character).  I figure the cowl will hide my rather prominent brow-bossing, and I can let makeup and padding do the rest. 

Keep Being Nerdy !!!!
