Thanks! I think you are quite beautiful yourself . Yea the incision at the hairline is healing and I can see hair coming out off the line so in a few weeks i can hide the line with my hair and should be able to wear my hair any way i would like including pulling it all back:)

Thanks Melissa...will post few more pics in the days to come...

You look stunning Riya,  what else did you have done with DR Mayer beside hairline lowering ?

OK, here we go!  I'm just 10 hours away from the next chapter in my story

I'm getting a whole bunch of stuff done... basically tackling all the facial bony structures at once. 
The full list, from top to bottom:

• Forehead Contouring with Hairline lowering
• Rhinoplasty
• Cheek Implants
• Lip lift
• Chin Implant
• Trachea shave

The only one that I wasn't sure about at first were the cheek implants, but after a lot of thought and finally seeing the actual implants (small and subtle) I'm going for it!

Here's a set of virtual results that Alexandra at http://virtualffs.co.uk/ did a few weeks ago.  Hopefully reality will come close!

Let me know what you girls think!

Also, here's the typical skull shot with a red line showing one possibility for reduction. 
My bossing is pretty heavy, but it seems like the bone in front of the my sinus is really thick, so hopefully Dr. Mayer's technique will yield great results!

Thanks Jen!   I've definitely been pretty happy with my progress from hormones alone, but I think FFS will knock it out of the park!

[Jennygirl]

Good luck Haley! I'm sure everything will go great

Your xray is indicative of a GREAT result from shaving alone. And the VFFS pictures look amazing!

Let us know how you are feeling when you're up to it and best of wishes for you!

My only complaint is after looking at his before and afters, a lot of them still have masculine brows. They may be smaller, but it's still there. I personally want my forehead flat almost like Dr O's version.

Agreed. That's exactly why I keep stressing if you want extensive work done and you have a thin frontal sinus, he is probably not the best choice of doctor. After all he is reconstructive- not a maxillofacial surgeon like Dr. O. Definitely something to consider: a "type 1" brow shave is not going to work for everyone. I think Dr. O is a great doctor (he did my trach shave and I liked him a lot), but I centered on Mayer because I wanted subtle changes- Dr. O wanted to give me an entirely new face :O

If someone needs extensive work to the brow my own personal recommendation would be Dr. DiMaggio. To me it seems like he is at the top of his game!

Prior to scheduling my ffs appointments with various doctors I had my VFFS done by Alexandra at http://virtualffs.co.uk/. Dr Mayer recommendations exactly matched her advice. ALso Both of them believed my jawline was well within female range and I would not need any changes done to it. However other docs including Dr O and Z in addition to various other things wanted to break my jawline down and give a different look which I was not very comfortable with. I felt any changes to it will make throw my face out of balance. So I decided with Dr Mayer, especially because I personally liked his work with natural no surgical results. Also was impressed by his work on TV especially with Jaime and a few other TS patients on Discovery Health.

At this time I can tell FFS has given me that extra confidence. As the swelling goes down I  notice the changes he has made to my face. No longer I worry about if my face looks feminine or not. I have to use very less make up and have been getting compliments from random strangers on the street. So I can say I am very pleased with the results.

[Jennygirl]

Not surprised at all that you're getting random compliments! You're definitely at a 10 on the cuteness scale He did a wonderful job and you look amazing!

I hope Haley is feeling okay, her surgery was yesterday. I'm sure she's just resting up right now!

I'll be in Mayer's office on Monday for my pre-op and my surgery is on Tuesday. Very much looking forward to it, and not a bit of anxiety this time!
