FFS, Do You WANT A Different Face?

[Melissa]

Now I hope my brutally honest (I know it was brutal) assessment didn't hurt your feelings at all.  Overall, I think you look beautiful.  However, I think most people aren't willing to give completely honest opinions so they don't hurt feelings.  Mine was only supposed to be for constructive information.  Now, with that said, if you are fulltime and passing well now, then I would say that should be answer enough for you.

Not at all, I appreciate the assessment, just as I said this would be for person reasons not passing reasons, I know I visually pass and I have no worries about that anymore. just the mixed messeges were more than a little confusing.

For some reason, I've got an old Clint Eastwood movie on the tube.. I didn't change the channel, not paying attention to it.

Inger Stevens played the heroine in this film.  I just saw a close up of her face.  She had fairly masculine lines and believe it or not, a wide nose.  Not a fat nose... but not slim and primpy.  Yet she was one of "those" woman who I cried myself to sleep over when I was a kid.  I wanted to be her so badly.  It's odd because she was so drop dead beautiful.  Apparently she was very unhappy too. She comitted suicide before she got old. Being beautiful ain't everything kids!

Yes, but it sure beats ugly.

[Stormy Weather]

My gawd Maud, you are beautiful.

She is.

I'm possibly the only one or one of very few people on this board that has spent a few hours in her company on a few occasions and she is gorgeous and no amount of nitpicking can gainsay that. The last time we met, I told her I was jealous... so there you go. Take it from one who knows.

And although she's by no means perfect, in my opinion she doesn't need FFS at all, whereas I'm saving like a maniac to get mine done. I'm also old enough to be her mum. 

The weather report for today says fine...

I never said she "needed" it and in fact recommended avoiding it.   Part of the problem was I couldn't tell if some of the things I talked about were only a result of shadows in the photo.  People tell me all the time I don't need it, but I want to at least get my nose corrected.

I never said you said she needed it. 
Peace, babes. 

La'ers...

Hi Melissa

Quit apologizing, you spoke from experience and provided a whole lot more useful input than us fangirls. I'm sure Maud knows she's pretty, and after letting it settle a couple days I see she was after exactly what you gave; advice. I personally will use the tips you provided too, every little bit helps while we sock away the surgery money

Aww, ok.  I just don't want to step on too many toes.  If what I'm saying helps, then I'll keep helping.   I feel like I am able to look at things in a completely honest way and I will switch between a broad overview and details to identify certain things.  If I looked at sepaarate features of my own face, I would need the FFS works, but by using a switching view point, I feel only my nose is the most prominent feature.

I'd love to have a face swap with Maude!  Given that the possibility of that is nil, if I had the money and the opportunity I'd certainly do it.

I have an ongoing fantasy:  I am witness to a terrible crime.  Because I testify I am put in the witness protection program.  To disguise me they take me to a foreign country for a number of months, give me FFS and GRS and set me up with a new life and a job as a female.  OK, I know it'll never happen, but that would be a dream come true.

Hmm, you'd better keep an eye out for any large crimes you vigilante, you.

You're the only person on this board I've had the pleasure of meeting, I've only ever spoken to one person from scotland let allone anyone from edinburgh.

I'm sorry all for causing such a fuss, the soonest a scalpel would ever come into contact with my face would be 5 years or so and I highly doubt one ever will it was only idle curiosity, I know I'm lucky with my looks.

The trouble, I suspect, is the line between need and want. I had absolutely no idea about you until I came out and you outed yourself, you don't need it for passing reasons it would be entirely for vanity reasons as you said which I totally understand and empathise with, if I'd choose to do anything in the future if I had the funds and time to it it would be for the exact same reason.

Oh and don't worry about stepping on toes Melissa, I do it often enough that I'll probably eclipse you several times over throughout my time here. There's a difference between speaking your mind and being malicious one I can't see you ever crossing, that's not to say I won't disagree with you every now and again but that's all part of the fun of it

[Rachael]

me,
i want a chin job, new nose, and thats about it methinks.

[Melissa]

Rachael, I will say both your nose and chin look similar to mine before I started HRT--except better.  I won't comment on the nose (other than it doesn't have the hump like mine), but I will say that your jaw will probably appear to shrink (I think you said you hadn't started HRT yet).  I was VERY surprised that mine did.  It already looks pretty good, so I doubt you'll need anything changed in that area.

Melissa

[Elizabeth uk]

Does HRT actually have an effect on your face?

[Melissa]

You decide (both without makeup):




Melissa

[Rachael]

Yep, that photo is pre hrt, and i do hope my chin like changes, it feels very large and boney its the angle that makes it look ok) when i loose weight, it will look BAD

[Elizabeth uk]

Really quite amazing. 

[Melissa]

when i loose weight, it will look BAD

Yeah, that's one of my fears too.

Really quite amazing. 

Thanks
