So why did i travel from perth australia all the way here? , through all my research i nailed it down to 3 surgeons
My very first choice long ago was Dr Cardenas, a few somewhat uncoventional reasons apart from the normal ones, i think the first that comes to mind is his skill ...and experence over 200 ffs ops a few can be seen on the transop site along with a lot of written successes from woman who have moved on .
Initially i had some reservations...i had the idea mexico was dangerous and bad cosmetic results....however
that maybe true in some places as in all , but i felt safer walking the streets at night then in melboune
and also it was so far away
But gdl is a world class city clean , and safe
Iwhen i saw Dr C together with his beautiful wife ....i thought thats a man with good taste in woman , and ioved the idea of his wife doing the rhinoplasty, actually i thought it was quite romantic them both working together,
I wanted some who was aggressive but an artist as well, as in my case i wasnt girly looking for a start so my aim
was for androgynous which fits with being nb for myself,.
Cost was a consideration as well but i could have gone to thailand and saved myself a fair bit but in the end at my age especially ffs is not something to skimp on
Anyway i made it clear that i did not want to try for beautiful or pretty due to my build ...but to try for handsome female ....not only is it a personal aesthetic desire but also a pragmatic one for me
I have a friend who had gcs surgery early on and was on hrt for over 3 years and she assured me that no amount of hrt changed her browline,nose ,jaw etc and it was true from her photos
Ffs was first on my list and hearing and seeing her story helped make my decision although im sure if nature has already laid the foundation, or one is young or both then experences will differ
enough has been done now i can let the hrt do the rest and i can say although initially i regretted my decision after all the swelling went down i could see and appreciate the skill of what had been done..
..i now have a set of lips ...yay!!! its remarkable how to me how Dr could gauge how much fat to infiltrate so as to compensate for the % of reabsorption and get the right look.
I've yet to try makeup but if i wear a dewrag my face looks female and if i wear a cap it looks softish male
All in all its done wonders for my dysphoria ....and theres still more that could be done
But the foundation has been laid and im grateful for the result
I'll post some before and after photos when appropiate
Btw i've had comments from people who know me well that i have a great smile and look younger to others who havent seen me for some time and that they had to do a double take
All in all from my view point its a big improvement from before .....still dont like my photo being taken though
I'm still here in Guadalajara making the best of my time off ....work is calling but i hope to have lasik and maybe the facelift before i head back....also since i,m so close i'd like to see the space museum in texas
Work.....always interfering....with my best laid plans lol
