I think you mean body modification? I'm not sure what you mean about tight lacing though? are you suggesting corsets and stuff? and butt or hip implants etc don't usually work. This topic is really about HRT or in my case HRT not working for whatever reason. The receptors in my body seem to work against HRT and that is really what I'm trying to address.

Yes sorry, typo. Body modification. If you corset train your body long enough it will retain an hourglass shape. The technique has been posted in other topics. Implants will of course help out on top.

As for HRT, the only thing I might suggest is trying another doctor and see what they might offer. You might also try an orchiectomy if you are not yet post-op.

As for this topic, it is about me having completed a year of HRT on October 6. You might find more help if you created your own topic. Many fewer people will happen across your post in my thread.

Maia,
Congratulation.
You look great Maia and I wish you the best on your up coming surgery.
I have watched your progress and all the struggles that you have shared with us.
You've come along way baby and it such a short time.
I think you may have broken a record in transitioning.
Hugs,
Jillieann

So today marks exactly one year since I started HRT. I didn't know where life was going to take me back on October 6, 2010 or what I would end up looking like, but I think things have worked out pretty well so far. Thank you to all of you who have followed me from my early struggles to today. I posted some pics (including a shot of me taking my first pill) in the before/after thread here:

Happy E-Day! XD  May the next year be filled with all sorts of exciting discoveries and changes!

Thank you ladies. I don't think I broke a record though. I seem to remember Jerica did it in something like 14 months? In any case, it has been quite the rocket ship ride.

Well I've completed exactely 10 years of being on HRT so I have become a little cynical about it these days. It does seem to work for some people and not for others regardless of age. This may be due to genetics and a whole heap of other factors. I could see another endocrinologist but they will probably say the same thing 'it's not working', 'you've tried just about everything'. But I don't want to put a downer on your achievement of a year on HRT so congrats from me too.

It won't change bone structure drastically or general body size. Have you gotten softening from it? I mean you look fine in your pic.

I am fully aware of the limitations of HRT and after 10 years of HRT experience I haven't got much softening from it. I look the same as I did before I started. I have got very little breast growth, no softening of the face and no hips, and no visible female fat re-distribution taking HRT, so I was wrong about what it would do for me in that respect. 

Mahsa you look like a very attractive female, your eyes look wide and very different to the way I look. My face looks hard and my eyes are less noticeable.
