Hi, I am going to be starting HRT in the very near future and was just wondering about some things. My face has very soft features, and I have smaller hands and feet. My issue is that I am about 5'9 240 pounds. I am dieting to lose weight, and honestly carry it very well. I have a thick muscle mass on my arms,shoulders,back and legs from football and weight lifting when I was younger.

Now, I understand that HRT will decrease the muscle mass some, but will I still be able to obtain a female figure? I dont really concider myself to be large boned since hands,feet, forearms and calves are all normal to smaller in comparison to larger muscle areas. Also, will HRT effect facial features? I have very soft features already, but I am worried about not being passable, and if I dont need FRS surgery, I would prefer to not have it lol. I actually look alot like my sister, but with some male differences. I am not expecting to become a beauty queen, and  I know I have alot of work ahead of me. I just cant seem to find the information I would like online, and my doctor is being a little vague on some things. May be I just dont understand her though. Any information would be so appreciated! Thanks.

Hi Jamie, I am not sure about all the effects as I have not started HRT either but a I have heard that you will loose muscle mass and I think the same will happen for you but it does take time, it might take 1-4 years before you start seeing your  female shape, I personaly can;t wait to start HRT but I have to, good luck and hang in there, aloha from Hawaii.

All being well I'll be in a better position to comment after this Friday, when I see the Endocrinologist.
