I think you look pretty and could blend with all the cis girls I went to college with. What don't you like specifically about your face? I think you should do as little as possible..

You are very pretty. From that picture it's difficult to see your nose shape. You definitely fit in with cis girls. If you think your nose is too promenant then just do the nose job. I can't see any other details that would need to be touched.

Aurorasky,

You do not need any FFS. You have a very young feminine face. Any surgery will just leave your face with a bunch of hidden scars.

Some clinicians refer to gender dysphoria as a body dysmorphic condition. So we all know how your feel inside. If you still feel uncomfortable with your facial features, I suggest a simple rhinoplasty to reduce the size of your nose and maybe liposuction or dieting to reduce the size of your cheeks.

But I really feel you do not need any surgeries. With dieting alone, you will thin your face and possibly reduce your nose somewhat.

Mi Querida,

I won't discuss our private conversations, but now do you believe me? I have been telling you the same thing for months. You are a beautiful young woman! I wish you could see that!

You have a form of body dysphoria, that much is obvious. It is real, and your feelings of inadequacy are real, and it is causing you pain, and that makes me sad.  I care about you very much and I want you to be happy.

As we discussed, you are taking positive steps to address this, and that is all any of us can do.

Please know you are loved and appreciated for who you are.

With love and kindness,

Terri

One can't really do an accurate, clinical  assessment of your nose without:

1. Full frontal
2. 3/4 view
3. Full profile

From the pictures you posted you look like a pretty girl.  So I can only assume you want to go from pretty girl to insanely hot.  There's nothing wrong with that.  Appearance is still the coin of the realm for women in our society.   It opens doors and gives one power.  Statistics show that attractive people with symmetrical faces and bodies earn more, get more promotions, find mates easier and just have an easier time of it (ask yourself:  Is that such a great thing?  remember it's the grain of sand in the oyster that creates the pearl.)


Plastic surgery is as much about how we feel about ourselves as how others view us.  My personal FFS goal was quite a bit more modest.  I just didn't want to be misgendered anymore.   But that metric my FFS was a complete success.  (At 60 being a pretty girl just wasn't on the table anymore.)   But TBH if I had the chance to be a pretty girl I would probably go for it.

It's easier to overdo it tho and end up looking freakish.  The way I see it, you basically get one shot at it.  Then it's benefits start going downhill.

It's not uncommon for people to find fault with certain facial features.  I did for years, even before my transition.  I hated my face.  When I transitioned, dissatisfaction increased.  It caused me a lot of anxiety.  Other people thought I looked fine, but their reassurances did nothing to relieve my own dysmorphia.  People think it's irrational, but it's not that.  It has to do with something much deeper.

What I did, and I recommend you do as well, is have a professional evaluation and virtual FFS transformation to get a better idea what surgery could do for you.  Frankly, judging by your photo, feminization is not necessary, but a single photo can be misleading.  There are very few trans women who experienced male puberty that don't have some male facial characteristics albeit very subtle ones.   Five views of your face (front, left and right profile, and left and right angle photos) are needed to give a meaningful assessment.

My FFS made a huge improvement in my looks.  FFS helped transform my external appearance to better align with my internal self-concept, so that now I actually like the way I look.  Sure, it's expensive, I have scars (not visible), and there's always some risk of complications, but I'm convinced that it was the only way to address the psychological discomfort I was suffering. 

So, get the professional evaluation.  See what's possible.  Decide if it's worth it or not.  If you decide it's what you need, find a really good plastic surgeon through recommendations, reviews, and face-to-face consultations, and then proceed with confidence.  You'll love the result.

This is really good advice, because it is realistic, and objective.

I guess if you wanted to be perfect you could get a nose job, but you do not need it.

Your are not only passable, but pretty too.

If your question was if you pass, my answer is that you look 100% female but if you wanted to beautify yourself i thin that you can benefit from forehead reconstruction, nose job and chin work.
