I’ll be having facial feminization surgery on my lower third of my face. Let me know if you have any questions or just want to chat.
Edit: I am now squirrel. 🥜

    Huh, that’s really interesting. I wasn’t sure what all they could do. I feel like I have a really square jaw that my beard helped hide. And once I started my acceptance journey, I shaved it off and got really confused because I felt like I looked even more masculine. But I can’t handle having a beard anymore so I’ve been trying to just deal with it. I think I’m getting used to it now that it’s been a few weeks and I’m not “moving my face weird” anymore like my wife was saying lol.

    Did you get an idea of how you would look after all the surgeries? Like, did they show you an approximation of how you would look?

    This is still all new for me, so I know basically nothing at the moment 😅

      Not really(?) The pictures and approximation with pen to demonstrate the contouring gave an idea, but I just had to trust the surgeon and go head first into it. I also had the “dysphoria beard” 😅

        Glad I’m not the only one with the weird beard issues. At first it made me doubt my self but I also had a beard for almost 10 years. Now that I’m used to it more I don’t think it’s too bad. Put me in a bit of an in-between state, but I’m getting more comfortable with the journey ❤️

        I guess the pen contouring would help a bit in seeing the surgeon’s “vision”. Hope you’re happy with the results so far!
