Well ladies, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring how to upload images, so if nothing shows on this post I will keep trying.

Try using photobucket, imgur or one of the other photo hosting sites, photobucket is pretty easy to use

you have potential. you can work on facial hair removal to enhance your chances of passing

Yeah I agree 100% with the hair removal and that will be one of the first things that I do. IDK if I'll do laser or electrolysis though(don't know which is better)  Also my chin, it looks a little wide and grow my own hair. Thanks for your honest input

I think you pass very well. And I think you pull off short hair very well.

HRT since March 2012
2 rounds of FFS (due to finances), Dr Speigel - upper lip lift and cheek implants, Dr Leis - brow lift, brow bone contour, and scalp advance
both laser and electrolysis on face - laser first but electrolysis did it for me

next, SRS hopefully this spring or summer!

well, it shows

Oh, and one more thing ladies! There can be different paths to reach "passability". So often we only have limited resources, and have to pick and choose between different procedures. Maybe that's a good thing, helps us stay more natural looking. I chose to concentrate on my face, but perhaps I would have been just as passable or more if I spent the money on breast implants and voice surgery (my voice isn't too bad bud needs alot of work), or divided between body and face. I did like my face before any ffs, just on what the hormones did. I wish I had the photos from then on this computer, I will look for them. The attached photo is after my first ffs with Dr. Speigel. for the money I spent on my latter forehead contouring I could have had breast implants. The results, enhanced passability, could have been equal or greater to the path I chose. But I have no regrets and am glad I did what I did. (I was also in the earlier stages of growing out my hair when this was taken)

My sister-in-law has training as a beautician, and a couple of weeks ago she and my brother came over to have dinner and hang out. Before I knew it, we were in the bathroom, and she was doing my makeup. It was the first time that I have been dressed as myself in front of either of them. Resolution isn't the best, as these came from my phone, but I think the basic idea is here.





When I begin presenting, I'll most likely wear bangs to cover up the worry lines on my forehead. Besides that, any thoughts?

you can try relaxation exercises to consciously focus on the worry lines (muscles) in your forehead, and you will look better. drop me a PM and I'll send you a link

Hana,

I've had them since I was a kid, so I doubt they're going anywhere. Still, I wouldn't say no to that link.

Thanks
