Now that I'm on this gender affirming procedure arc I think I need to succumb to my looksmaxxing tendencies and analyze what I need to fix on my face with ffs. Gonna take some pics tonight for study.

The more I think about it the more I think getting it done next year would be good, at least brow bone stuff because I already know that's mission critical and it's not really going to change in appearance with HRT. But I'd need to get the process started pretty swiftly to have a shot of doing it in 2027, I think.

    You gals are lookmaxing already and my butched ass needs to save up for hair transplant. The world can be cruel sometimes.

    I could probably do with one of those but I'm just working with curtain bangs instead

    I mean I could wait and see if the trifecta of blocker, minoxidil and alfatradiol enables me to go with any kind of hairstyle but it does not look too promising. Not even sure its possible. If I would not doubt the success of transplant I would do it immediately ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

    I want FFS but I havent studied or like judged my face about it. That feels like brain worm gardening ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

    The stuff I want is pretty subtle and its the standard package, brows, nose, maybe a bit of chin. Like ideally people would look at my face who Ive known for a while and not see a huge difference besides wondering if Im vaguely more femme. HRT did a lot for my face which Im kinda surprised about too. The body/facial fat and lip changes actually made a huge difference compared to my pre HRT pics.

    Surely I should try to quantify what I want to fix, right?

    I don't want a whole new face. It's pretty much my nose and my brow bone cause I got those from my dad. Everything else came from my mom and she's beautiful. Maybe my jaw needs just the slightest slimming but my mom's is strong too and it looks great.
