HI.
If I may be so bold to say...
You are already pretty.
I agree with the others, you should (and girl I know how hard it would be) wait. Wait to see what HRT does to your face.
When I started, I was very MANLY looking...very. In fact, it caused soooo much depression. I had to put that aside, since I was taking care of a very sick relative. I kept taking my HRT pills no matter what. I took pictures almost every week in hopes of seeing more of the woman I was. It most certainly didn't happen over night.
Now almost 5 years later, I shed my Alpha male self and even without FFS I pass. I've never had any issues.
Am I going to get FFS? Sure, but now I'm actually glad I waited (easier said than done). My face changed so much that one of the surgeons I was talking to said it was best to send him new pics since he noticed some quite significant changes to my face.
I understand that for many, it's needed and for some it's more for their own self...who doesn't want to be pretty?
I would also recommend maybe talking to a therapist. It did wonders for me. I knew that my dysphoria was so bad that maybe I wasn't seeing things right. Meaning, I was soooo critical that I was amplifying things on my face. This is of course me, you might be different. My brow (in my eyes) felt like a Neanderthals. My lips were not as full and my nose was like a clowns ...or so I thought. What I learned through therapy was to love myself first, with or without a new face...and I did. Now, several years later, I am happy with what I have, AND now I'm ready for FFS. Plus, I don't need all the work I thought I would have. Sure I'm saving money, but I also saved myself and I'm happy.
I hope that your journey is a beautiful one.
