Title: NEED GUIDANCE or MENTOR!
Post by: MzBlanco on April 02, 2011, 04:16:20 AM
Hello Everyone.. I am a 23 y.o. Pre Op transsexual... I have been on HRT off and on for 1 year and on HRT daily for 6 months... My skin has softened, my body structures have feminized some, my complextion has lightened, I have gained some weight, and my hormone breast have grew to about a 32 AAA or 32 B .... I am getting to the point that I am about to start my cosmetic surgeries and I just wanted some advice because I am so indecisive! I must say that I understand the process does not happen overnight, the changes dont appear in the am, and everything can not be corrected in one week! ;D I have saved up to begin my procedures and I have been going back and forth with what I want to begin with. Overall my goals are Facial Feminization with Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, Jaw & Chin redefinement; also Breast Augmentation and Hip Augmentation! The first procedures that I am planning to undergoe are Rhinoplasty, Cheek Augmentation & Breast Augmentation. I feel that most TS are always eager to grow breast to a comfortable size or get enhancement... I am trying to decide if I want to start with just Rhinoplasty and Cheek Augmentation or if I want to knock all three out and go for the Breast Augmentation with the first two procedures... I was curious to know other Transgender's opinion that have completed majority or all of their cosmetic procedures... Do you personally think I am doing too much at once to do ALL 3 and I should just start with the Nose and Cheeks or if 3 cosmetic procedures arent too much to begin with??? I also feel like sometimes one procedure on a part of the body isnt always enough for the desired look of an individual and I might  possibly seek more than one "job" to a certain area.. so inside I feel like YEAH go ahead and knock out  the 3 and then I debate am I doing to much for my first time enhancing my features.... so if you can give me any input I would appreciate it sincerely to discuss with other TS that are farther along in transition than I... hope to hear from some of you all.. xo xo

My opinion is that for some of those things you should let the HRT have a chance to work.

Most agree that a BA before 2 solid years of HRT is premature.
Some women have breast growth over a 5 year period.
