I feel like a fairy...

Likewise; I feel all fey and elvish. It's rather nifty.
'Changeling' would be accurate, I guess.

Yeah. Like I look in the mirror, and the pretty parts of my face are shocking, cause Its like I shouldn't be allowed to like the way I look. Its like... I hope it doesn't get taken away.

I am glad I had my FFS in June of last year, but it was very painful and I will never go through that again.  But I do look much younger, and I am pleased with the results.
My picture here is about 6 months post op from a chin implant, rhiniplasty, full face and neck lift with lipo of the neck, lip lift and cheek fillers.
Do you think I look younger than 57?
Anyway if you have FFS just expect that you will be uncomfortable for a while, depending on how much you have done.

I'm not so sure. FFS can be quite dramatic in some cases:


I see almost nothing of the before person in the after shot.

The biggest difference between the two photos is in one she looks depressed and in the other she is smiling but it is easy for me to tell she is the same person. 

Hmmm, I just want my nose a little smaller. And maybe my jaws too thats all. O yeah and definitely electrolisis, shaving really stinks! And then I'd just love to go to my high school reunion ,the shock would kill almost everyone!

Oh I just noticed...

In one picture her hair is pulled back exposing her forehead (and she looks angry and depressed).

In the other picture her hair is draped naturally across her forehead and face (and she is smiling).

Sure she looks different but not very.  FFS rounds the corners basically, it doesn't change you into a different person.

This picture reminds me of bad before and after gimmicks like holding in the stomach for a weight loss commercial, not to mention the unhappy frown before and beaming smile afterwards.  Also I suspect in the before picture she has on no makeup but in the after she does, either that or the first picture is just lacking the vibrant color of the after photo.  Speaking of color the before picture is taken under cold artificial light with a cold grayish background, the after picture is taken under warm sunny light with a vibrant and colorful background.  It is almost like subliminal advertising, I feel like I need to buy something now, the product is so amazing lol !

Actually if she pulled her hair back her scalp and hairline would be totally different. Her cheeks are higher and jaw line is narrower and well she looks great compared to the before.

but then again many people will critisize and not see the real picture.

The discussion was whether or not FFS made her entirely unrecognizable, not whether or not she looked better, just to clarify for people reading this thread.

I'm totally unrecognizable to the people who knew me 'before'.  I guess the fact that before hrt I had blepharoplasty on my upper lids might count.  I used to have Garfield eyes.  But I did that for me, prior to hrt.

The only thing I would like is a scalp advance or maybe microtransplants.  Otherwise, I'm quite happy, and so is Marcy.

I absolutely want ffs. I don't so much want a different face, I want a much prettier more female looking version of my face.

I'm not really sure.  I've been looking at this male face for 55yrs.  I'd love to look into the mirror and see a much more feminine face looking back.  It's a decision I'll make in another year or two.  In the end, I think I'll be happier as an ugly woman than a handsome (or not so handsome) man.  Even if I'm recognized, I really don't care, so long as I appear feminine rather than masculine.
