How long were you on hormones when you noticed significant facial changes?

2 years was when I started looking andro.
These days, I look at some photos of myself and wonder whether the people around me and myself are blind.  We see what we expect I suppose.

FFS sounds fun.

LOL!

That is the LAST thing I would call it... SRS with simultaneous BA was a walk in park in comparison to FFS! It HURT!

Hard to say how much and how long it was fro FFS to change my face...

All I can say is that after about a year on HRT, with essentially no breast development or noticeable fat redistribution below the neck, I was fairly often taken as female while presenting male (but by then electro was essentially done too)

For all things transitional I'm an ends justifies the means kinda gal. I'll take any pain etc if the reward is high enough.

If they can tear me apart and make me make me beautiful with no long term issues I'd probably let them.

My own changes so far have always been from a combined approach so I suppose it would be hard to say exactly what physical changes to my face were directly due to the hormones.

My entire body seems to be getting totally rewritten which is seriously awesome given I'm still in year 1. From what I've heard there's lots more fun to come which is really exciting.

Hormonal changes to one's face are very subtle but add up. Strangers will see it before you do. Don't rely on your observations or that of people close to you who knew you before. See how the public in general reacts. Or look at before and after pics. Seeing yourself every day and your mind's past impressions of yourself can distort reality.
