I like that you write about your experience. And this should also be respected here. My experience wasn't the best either and didn't have surgery at FT. I feel that FT feels like they are gods, which I don't think is true. I also think they are overpriced.

I had an awful experience consulting with FacialTeam. I'm forgetting his name but he was very unprofessional at points of my consult. He seemed to imply I was ugly as "this surgery will not make you prettier" like yea thanks dude, I know I look like shit on Zoom, good judgement call. The worst part was when I cited a before and after example from their site of one girl who's results I really liked and some of her features seemed similar to the ones I struggle with and his response was "ah yea, I love that bitch." I couldn't believe it.

That said in all your pictures you look great and not even slightly male. I don't discredit the issues they may have caused with your nose either, that is incredibly unprofessional to not follow up. It's unfirtunate but you might need a revision with another more trusted surgeon.

I'm surprised you did the forehead and nose reduction. They looked ok in pre surgery photo to me. Well within female ranges.

Overly flat foreheads arent attractive unless you have the verticality to go with it.

Is there a reason they didn't go deeper around your radix? That's what you're not telling us. : ]

Am curious to know what they said, given everything is a decision someone makes etc...

The alternative, if they can't go deeper, is to add projection above it, though not to the extent of a brow bone. It's more the shape than projection that makes something feminine, as you've pointed out in the photos from the book.

Who were your surgeons?

yeah you looked better before. You could have gotten the same nose with filler. I’m sorry you went through this. I hope it all works out.

FT are notoriously bad for nose jobs, they always do a tiny pixie nose that looks hard to breathe out of and is beyond "normal" noses straight into looking like an obviously nose jobbed nose. No one should get their nose done with FT

A lot of this really looks like body dysmorphia tbh, ur hairline is extremely low, why would u want it lower? I cant really see an Adams Apple in the picture, 1 or 2 mm can often be enough. I think the results are really pretty.

They were right not to lower your hairline. It would like ape-ish and throw off the proportions of your face. It looks like you still have swelling in the area of the radix. Perhaps it ought to be reduced further but the nose already looks kind of nose-jobby. Feminine but nose-jobby. I think it’s the slope and the pointiness.

As for the forehead bump I went to a different doctor and had that too. I think it has to do with the muscles readjusting to their new positions. Botox helped.

I’m confused about what your current problems are, especially you mentioning the hair line lowering they didn’t want to do: your hair line is extremely low already, as far removed from cis male as could be, lowering it further would cause you to fall into the uncanny valley.

As for the nose it looks like a perfectly average nose?

The ‘bed side manner’ problems seem the most serious ones to me? Not getting a follow up, being misgendered are all problematic.

The scar tissue is an unfortunate risk of any surgery, so not exactly avoidable, because it can and will happen with the best of care.

But your face in general looks perfectly fine, not masculine, not ‘alien like’.

Sorry a little unrelated but honestly its so infuriating DB says in his book “as a male you probably have” x male feature . Feels very exploitive

they should give you revision if you are not satisfied

I think you have fallen down a slippery slope of being overly self critical. You look 100% female to me and that is the goal of FFS. I think your problems are much more psychological than physiological. In other words: your self esteem needs to improve or nothing will.

I have a question...did they asked you how you wanted things to be done? They made simulations? Because i had similar experience with Baez Marquez.. i had to show my own virtual modifications in my smartphone .. i dont have bumps but i think that this way One looses faith in the surgeon... I asked for a certain nose angle (as you) but i told them that If It wasnt possible they could do in different way...i was very open to possible outcomes.. anyway you look good.. Surgeons often sucks.. i suggest you to Enjoy your new very FEMALE face and when you have Money and time you get a revision from an ENT Specialist.. i'm considering myself a revision if things dont settle down as hoped.. i'm not saying that my surgeon Is bad but i wasnt buyng a car and if he spent 10 minutes more telling me i think you'll probably end up like this...i could have an easier post-op experience.. it's a rollercoaster
