Do you think that with FFS I could blend/pass enough to be perceived as female most of the time without trying? I've been on HRT for 3 years now and the head shots posted below are from late last year. I can't make long hair work for me because my face is just too damn big and bulky and shaped like a brick and it still makes me look distinctly male. I had a FFS consult with Spiegel expressing all these concerns, and when he saw me he seemed to be very confidently optimistic about my outcome, which, looking back on it I think it a load of horse <not allowed> and sugar coating, but many people have told me he doesn't need the work and he's honest as a surgeon. (for once) Dunno what to believe there.
Full body pics from the other night too, for comparison. I wear my hair shorter because it works a little bit better. My head and face shape have not changed though, rest assured and not only does it completely impede me from passing, but it gives me a great amount of internal day to day dysphoria about my own self perception too. As you can see from the recent pictures, I think my body is basically good enough to work with. The bulkiness/masculine shape and size of my face is the biggest issue. I know head size can't be changed,(and I've heard of enough cis and passing trans women with my sized head or bigger) but if I can get my face shape/size to look within female ranges and look normal enough to not look overtly masculine, I'd be happy. I seriously doubt this is possible, to be honest, just because my head and face are just so damned big. (and seeing FFS results) But I'd like to be surprised.
I understand I look cis in those last two photos. I don't disagree, but if angled right I can pass in controlled photos just fine. Very different in real life.
