I consider myself very fortunate to have an otherwise full head of hair but my forehead is quite large and the hair is thinner above it which prevents my having bangs to cover it, which is something I've tried with my hair stylist.<br /><br />My overall goal is to smooth off the rough edges — as I like to say — that people subconsciously use to instantly misgender me as male even though the rest of my presentation is authentically and appropriately female. Misgendering hurts and adds to my self-consciousness. It also makes me wary of traveling outside of my home base in Seattle which is a remarkably supportive and inclusive area.<br /><br />I'll soon be 63 so another procedure is to have a facelift that will also tighten the skin under the chin and around the neck. He will also insert a thin device in my chin which will make it more prominent and narrow. Last, he's going to "roll up" my upper lip a little to give me a more typically feminine appearance. This will be combined with reducing the distance between the bottom of my nose and the top of the upper lip, which is more common in women.<br /><br />Of course I wish I could look more femininely attractive. We'll see. Unfortunately facial surgery isn't like going to get a hair style where we can point to photos of hairstyles we like. The surgery is equal art and science and, like we used to experience with film photography, we won't know the full results for several months after. I've also been strongly warned to be careful not to get much sun exposure for the rest of this year because the scars will permanently darken. I'm going to be sporting a lot of sun hats this summer!Emma Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531144162442571276noreply@blogger.com
