Hey I'm new here just looking for some answers, but back to topic for those of you who dont know bone remodeling is the processes of your skeletal system completely regenerating over 7-10 years (I'm not talking growing back limbs but the bone cells are matabalized and new replace the old, as well as some parts become strengthened or weakened like if u started running ur bone structure would accommodate this and strengthen parts orlf your body). So my question is over time does your body repair what you have done to your skeletal system, like do you go back to becoming more masculine or does the HRT block this effect?
I'm only asking cause I work security and paitient watch/transfer at a hospital and have seen some pretty amazing bone regrowth.
As well do you girls notice your faces and bodies bone structure becoming more feminine over time I'm just wondering if theres some correlation.
The skeletal structure won't change, although musculature and fat and flesh and skin will.
As to what the bones do post FFS I couldn't venture an opinion - but like skin, which retains a scar rather than losing it over time as new cells replace old, one I'd suggest the same applies to bones, even more so.
Yea I know bones do scar and don't completely return to they're original shape, but I've seen a patient come in who had to have a steel plate removed from there head because the bone completely regrew under it and was putting pressure on they're brain (and that's going from no bone in one area to complete new bone). I mean the human body is pretty amazing in what it can do but I guess what I'm asking is that those who have had FFS do some of your male features return long term? or is what you have what you get after your surgery?
In general, people with estrogen-dominated systems do not see testosterone's effects... for example, a trans woman who goes on E soon enough will not have the heavy additional facial bone growth that typically happens in the late 40s/early 50s. So I'd assume that someone who stayed on HRT would be at no risk of regrowth, if that growth would be dictated by testosterone.
