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

[Angélique LaCava]

Just curious.

When other people im around everyday saw changes in my face = about 1 year. For me to personally notice that my face and cheeks look fuller and more round = 15months.

I dont see any changes yet at 9 months but people i know say there's been changes from around 7 months

I've noticed significant changes for about a month, so that'll be 8 months since I started on E. Some people have commented that they've seen changes a couple of months earlier and am convinced that I'd pass a female already. I have been gendered as female a few times when androgynously dressed. Some haven't noticed any change at all...

Can't say that there are any facial changes from hrt yet, only three and a half months in. But I do see a softening from the electrolysis reducing the hair count. I do like the improvements.

I noticed after a few months in. Then again, I've gained about 25 lbs since starting (142ish lbs currently at 5' 6"). On another note, everyone seems to say I look better/happier. Even my mom told me I look less like a zombie now a few days ago, haha.

I'd say the first 3 months brought subtle changes. Then the next 9 months brought very significant changes. Then year 2 brought noticeable changes. Currently 3.5 years in and feel like the year 3 mark brought a little subtle polishing.

I really started to notice the facial changes about eight to ten months out. It's when I could really start to see the affects facially from the hormones, but just improved from their. Hugs

Significant changes? 5.5 years and still waiting.

2 months was enough for me. People already doubted my gender before HRT. So I started passing fully on the 2 month mark. Call me lucky but it's not all roses.

[stephaniec]

people on this forum said I hit the fail point at around 7 months. I posted a lot of my pictures starting from day 1

At 1.5 years a person that I know and show ID to purchase items said my ID looks very different and that I looked like the person on the ID's sister. That was about a year ago that I was at the retail store.

Has been a couple months for me, and I notice some changes, but I can't quite say they are significant. Skin a little smoother maybe. I never had much facial hair to deal with, so I take care of that maybe once a week or more. It should slow down and get a little softer and easier to tweeze.

Within months. But, 10 yrs later, is when I really started seeing significant changes, probably following a change in my hormones.

[DuchessBianca]

This thread has helped my worries a bit as I tend to worry too much as at only 5.5 months in (4.5 of those at non low dosage) I don't see any real feminization of my face yet but it seems I'm far, far too early in for that. I do feel like it's a bit softer though and I do look a bit younger but no one in public is calling me "She" yet or coming close to bleh Haha

Within this year I've changed a lot but it's slow and subtle so without before and after shots it can be hard to believe it's more than your imagination or wishful thinking.

I used to have a lot of trouble even finding myself in the mirror but could do it through my eyes. As time went on it got easier I could only see myself as male at first but eventually I saw a face better described as FTM as if I crossed a line with the male and female balance to finally be more F than M.

Now I finally just see me as just a normal female and I'm so glad to see myself every day.

It's truly incredible the difference 1 year can make.

The reports of further changes are very exciting and I look forward to them.

Eh, I didn't seem much change in my face from HRT.  Electrolysis was more significant; HRT just made my skin a bit softer and my cheeks a tad rounder.  Which simply wasn't enough for the kind of facial features I had.

Facial surgery, otoh, was life-altering!

FFS sounds fun. No idea what they would suggest or do but I do really like the idea and might check it out someday but prioritising orthodontics, orchi then GRS for next jobs.

Just for fun/academic curiosity I did a before and after pic with him 9 years  ago (didn't have anything more recent to hand) and me now. Nobody would ever link the 2 faces unless they knew my history which is really cool. Obviously it's a YMMV thing and I'm not as pretty as I'd like to be but I'm pretty enough and so glad I look nothing like him as I think that would totally kill me seeing him looking at me in the mirror every day. Scary to think about to be honest.

Oh I better add on I wasn't just doing hormones I was doing diet stuff and other things too so y'know everything adds up.

after 3.5 months, I don't see a lot of difference, except that my skin became smoother. But people around me  tell me my face significantly changed. I think that's because of my use of makeup, plucked brows and changed hair though.
