Dear Anjaq,

I have discussed this very issue with an ffs doctor and a doctor that is specialist in rhinoplasty and both have told me that you would need to do the forehead before the rhinoplasty or have them done at the same time.They also told me that if you would do the rhinoplasty first it might look weird if you do the forehead afterwards or it would even undo some of the changes that have been achieved with the rhinoplasty.Also the rhinoplasty specialist does not perfom forehead surgery himself so he was not trying to sell anything, but he does have a very good picture of the overall goals that i want to achieve with ffs and gave me some very good pointers.

Yes. That is the universal opinion - Either do rhinoplasty but no upper FFS afterwards or do both at the same time. So I guess the answer to the original question is no - I cannot do a rhinoplasty now and leave open the option for a FFS later unless I accept it to be done over again.

I think you are overthinking all of this.  Your nose is already very feminine. 

I thought the very same after seeing your nosepics! Your nose looks fine, feminine, nice shape and width. Elegant even.

DON'T have your nosetip 'elevated' of 'lifted' because it'll create a larger space between the bottom of your nose and your upperlip, sometimes even a gap!

Second: your nose is perfectly fine and having a nose like yours done will scream NOSEJOB!!! which draws unwanted attention to your face and perhaps the kind of like 'oh, nosejob...TS...'

Third: think of your facial proportions. A too thinned out nose will throw them off balance.

Fourth: a too thinned out nose will make your face look older than it actually is.

Check out senior citizen's faces, cismales and cisfemales; either their nose has 'grown' over the years OR thinned out....has to do with cartilage in both cases.

Oh, and having that 'bump' on your nosebridge done will make the skin over your nose sag...and your nosetip too....even a few mm's can make a huge difference in the face/on your nose.

So you think that changing that bump could actually make other parts worse and require more stuff to be done then? I would not want the tip to sag - it is good as it is - has mor a wider angle to the lip, not htat "male" 90° but more androgynous angle. sagging to 90° woul dbe bad. you think that would hapen with removal of the bump?

Hi, Michelle

I think you are overthinking all of this.  Your nose is already very feminine.

Thats wht the surgeon said more or less...

That surgeon is an honest, decent man for sure! He's right, your nose is fine as it is, leave it alone.

A surgeon like dr Z. would 'agree' with your complaint and then proceed to give you a piggy nose.

Any other 'FFS' surgeon would agree too and give you an obvious nosejob.

You should be happy you've seen a non FFS surgeon first, he's honest and not trying to make (lots!) of money off of you.

Further more: you biomedic friend overlooks the fact that ciswomen masculinise TOO when they're growing older.

Thank you for the compliments - yes, I doint want a nose that is a piggy style - no way. What I dont like about the nose is mostly that little bumb there at the bridge - that is also the only thing the surgeon said he would actually do if I insist. But I would of course not want it to look like a nosejob, so if I want to do it I will have to ask if that is ok. I guess the question turned itself around LOL - If I should get a FFS, will I have to get my nose done too?
Still - I really like those noses that are a bit less protuding at the bridge but I guess it may look artificial if I would ask for that.
