Time duchess/ countess ?...i think countess suits😊
Edit well from this "lady " is correct
The appellation "lord" is primarily applied to men, while for women the appellation "lady" is used. However, this is no longer universal: the Lord of Mann, a title currently held by the Queen of the United Kingdom, and female Lord Mayors are examples of women who are styled Lord.

But I don't want to be a lord, how about a lordess?

A few pics of the clinic will take some better ones , very aesthetic outside and in,



Aftercare has been great i got to meet Dr Cardenas's wife who worked on my nose, she is a specialist
soon to do a face lift , i am very happy with the results so far
I basically gave gave Dr Cardenas carte blanche to do what he saw fit within the parameters of our preop discussion, 
Guadulara is Mexico's equivalent of San francisco, its very laid back ,
No dramas here 😊
i'm staying at an lgbt friendly airbnb  guest house  very relaxing place to recuperate

I said i would take some more photos of the clinic but this link shows the facilities better
www.innovarecirugiaplastica.com/galeria/

So why did i travel from perth australia all the way here? , through all my research i nailed it down to 3 surgeons
My very first choice long ago was Dr Cardenas, a few somewhat uncoventional reasons apart from the normal ones, i think the first that comes  to mind is his skill ...and experence over 200 ffs ops  a few can be seen on the transop site along with a lot of written successes from woman who have moved on .

Initially i had some reservations...i had the idea mexico was dangerous and bad cosmetic results....however
that maybe true in some places as in all , but i felt safer walking the streets at night then in melboune
and also it was so far away
But gdl is a world class city clean , and safe

Iwhen i saw Dr C together with his beautiful wife ....i thought thats a man with good taste in woman , and ioved the idea of his wife doing the rhinoplasty, actually i thought it was quite romantic them both working together,
I wanted some who was aggressive but an artist as well, as in my case i wasnt girly looking for a start so my aim
was for androgynous which fits with being nb for myself,.

Cost was a consideration as well but i could have gone to thailand and saved myself a fair bit but in the end at my age especially ffs is not something to skimp on

Anyway i made it clear that i did not want to try for beautiful or pretty due to my build ...but to try for handsome female ....not only is it a personal aesthetic  desire but also a pragmatic one for me
I have a friend who had gcs surgery early on and  was on hrt for over 3 years and she assured me that no amount of hrt changed her browline,nose ,jaw etc and it was true from her photos

Ffs was first on my list and hearing and seeing her story helped make my decision although im sure if nature has already laid the foundation, or one is young or both then experences will differ
enough has been done now i can let the hrt do the rest and i can say although initially i regretted my decision after all the swelling went down i could see and appreciate the skill of what had been done..

..i now have a set of lips ...yay!!! its remarkable how to me how Dr could gauge how much fat to infiltrate so as to compensate for the % of reabsorption  and get the right look.

I've yet to try makeup but if i wear a dewrag my face looks female and if i wear a cap it looks softish male
All in all its done wonders for my dysphoria ....and theres still more that could be done
But the foundation has been laid and im grateful for the result
I'll post some before and after photos when appropiate

Btw i've had comments from people who know me well that i have a great smile and look younger to others who havent seen me for some time and  that they had to do a double take

All in all from my view point its a big improvement from before .....still dont like my photo being taken though

I'm still here in Guadalajara making the best of my time off ....work is calling but i hope to have lasik and maybe the facelift before i head back....also since i,m so close i'd like to see the space museum in texas
Work.....always interfering....with my best laid plans lol

Wow I think you're doing great Markie!! You look younger and more feminine. Have you tried on makeup after surgery yet?

Thanks Allison😊
I think Dr Cardenas and his wife  and team did a good job considering what they had to work with, bit of weight to lose now....
I havent tried any makeup as yet but i'm looking forward to it

Glad your doing better.  For some reason the last pic I saw was the one where you're my Mummy.  Haven't seen any of the others.

Oh wow what a difference...you look fabulous...I am so glad your experience has been so good. It sounds to me as though your research has paid off for you and that you are going to get the results you are wanting. Fantastic outcome...will have to look back and see what I missed over the last 2 months
