Beautiful x beautiful = rather special. :)

I swear Turkish Delight is kind of only appreciated in the UK, because of the ads, lol. With the camels and giant sand dunes. By people in suits who had no idea what they were doing, haha. :D Proper Turkish Delight isn't covered in chocolate. And doesn't quite taste like soap!

Everything is healing according to my visit today. Removed dressings from my eyelids today. Now I can actually see my upper eyelids for the first time despite being swollen still. Finally my eyelashes don't touch my upper hoods constantly!

The scalp area is healing fine although still slight fluid lingering underneath which I've been advised is not unusual. Hopefully it will reduce over the days and not get worse at least.

I got the before and after picture done in the operating room before dressing and swelling. The brow bone and nose is outstanding. I'm so eager to see them when the covers all come off!

Shamelessly I do quite like Fry's Turkish Delight even though I don't cut mine in half with a scimitar! Real Turkish Delight is better though I conceed.

Wowzers! Charlotte what a transformation! 😍😍 You've got to be pleased with that! That has to be worth the effort and money. The brow change is dramatically good! You have a ski slope scandi nose like mine now!

I'm so chuffed for you!

Facial feminization surgery: March 4th, 2026

Thanks all for the kind affirmations.

Yes I'm so happy with the result. Looking at this Pic and myself walking around in mirrors, it's very apparent how dramatically my forehead and nose were stopping me look feminine. I didn't expect he'd be able to do such a good job so I'm really shocked. I think I'd have struggled to get anything near where I want to feel without this surgery.

I don't think I'll need jaw work at all. Feels done to me.

I don't think you need any jaw work Charlotte, you don't seem to have a strong masculine jawline at all.

Beautiful! I'm so happy for you, Charlotte.

I am thrilled that you're pleased with it, Charlotte. In the end, that is what matters most by far. I'm so happy for you.

Sounds very good Charlotte!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Oh, Charlotte. This is SO relatable. We're both feeling the same way. This is a new beginning for both of us! (hugs)

And I just need a new nose! Haha. I agree with you and with the science. I'd been reading about how important the forehead and brow are, and you and I are living proof.

@Courtney G Thanks and it really is so cool that we got to pretty much go through this together and both get the much desired results to help us be the beautiful women who we truely are. Well not that we weren't before but now the icing on the cake.

I'd really love you to get the nose that you want too, as you really deserve it. You've gone through so much towards this,  now it needs to happen for you. Hopefully soon right? Guessing part of the next phase? Besides you're still beautiful right now 😊

On a side note I'm really glad I was financially limited here. I could have had other procedures at the same time; I couldn't have handled it. These were enough. The recovery would have been tough with more. I'd say try to think through which senses and capabilities are disabled by each procedure. Losing multiple faculties is the hard bit, more so than the pain. If you can see and breathe easily then life is so much better!! Sleep is the other thing. Getting comfortable is so hindered by surgery. A lot for perspective surgery seekers to consider.

I'll write up some detail in the surgery section soon with my two pennies worth. Just about the experience and what each procedure offers.

Yes, I have a second procedure coming in a few months that will seek to address my remaining concerns. I have a consult for it in a little under a month.

I've been thinking of doing a write up along the lines of "FFS: expectations and preparations" in the hope of better preparing others. Maybe we could start a new thread and toss some ideas around and the mods might use it as the basis for a FAQ?

Glad to hear you'll be all done then by end of 2026 by the sounds of it.

Sounds like a good plan. I'll start getting some thoughts down as can probably help people both make good choices but also know what they might be in for! There's a lot out there but I think we can add some detail especially comparing what we had done in two completely different countries!

Please do Courtney. I know it would help me, I'm sure others will feel the same.

Swelling and throbbing have increased a bit on my upper forehead this afternoon.  Bit warmer too. I'm praying this is just part of the process and not infection. I'm in tomorrow for dressings off so got a couple of days to sort it if indeed is anything abnormal. Still doesn't stop me worrying!

I felt a warmth that is only now starting to recede. It was even hard to stay cool at night while sleeping.
