Thanks, ladies!
Four years of HRT today! Woot! I can't believe I did this! But here I am, with a nice body, fresh piecings, soft skin, a growing assortment of women's clothes and underclothes, gems in my pierced ears, and facial feminization surgery just over 2 months away. But also a sense of self that has drastically improved.
I never would have believed you if you'd told me this was possible 6 years ago. I never would have believed I'd be willing to take the first step, to come out to myself, to my partner. To connect a clinic (Plume) regarding starting HRT (thank goodness for informed consent!)
I was reviewing the surgeon's preliminary FFS plan last night. Round one will be 4 hours of surgery and will include:
Scalp advancement and "rotation"
Browlift
Forehead shave with orbital rim reduction
Chin and mandible reduction
The follow-up will involve a facelift and fat grafting, as well as a redo of my nose.
I'm glad he's proposing this in two separate phases. I'd rather go twice than have a long recovery period.
