If anything I could see having that huge chin reduced more in the future but I gotta wait and hope it shrinks down before I can think about that... You can see from that older pic that he did shorten it a bit but it dont look like he did much to take out the protrusion... Either way it has to eventually end up smaller after taking off bone...

Also I can see my "adams apple" now and Im considering doing more work on my voice, CTA/trachea shave and possibly chin reduction with MAYBE some work on my eyelids to tighten them up too... I know I lnow i gotta be fucking NUTS to even think about that right now and frankly its scaring me... WTF

Goddd ! You are so impatient ! This wasn't a some minor op , so be patient . Give some time . I am sure you were advised of timeline for recovery . You looking gr8 already .

Chill , u il b ok wishing you fast recovery look forward to you on fashion parade :p

Yes your right and I KNOW that too, I donno whats come over me and frankly its scaring the shit outta me

I guess Im no stronger than anyone else thats gone through this and had post op depression... Its not so bad Id call it depression though... its surprising me how emo Im getting and all that, I wasnt expecting that at all and Id like to get over it soon...

Im also surprised I guess at just how bad the pain swelling and numbness is!!! Its a bummer to think of how long its gonna take to heal Im looking forward to getting back to normal though.. It sucks staying home tonight, Id usually be out and about town looking for trouble and finding it Im just not up for it yet

Buck up , chin up , March ahead

Eva you look so great I'm excited for you. I can't wait to see how Clara's FFS goes. I have already started a FFS savings account. Hugs Robin.

Eva, I think Spiegel did a great job on your forehead. The bossing is gone now. Really, there's very little, if any, masculinity left in your face. Now, that doesn't mean you are necessarily going to be totally happy with your looks. You are still going to look a lot like you did before, but now a feminine version of your former self. I'm sure there are friends who will not even realize that you've had facial surgery. You, yourself, will soon not see the changes that were made without comparing to old photos.

Not having a friend to help you through your recovery is contributing to your diminished mental state. Once you get home, I think you'll experience an immediate boost in spirits. That's must be happening soon, right?

Clara

Hey thanks Clara, Ive been home since Wednesday, I live alone though... Probably a good thing too because Im not sure anyone could put up with me right now!!! LOL

It looks better this morning, my upper lip for sure, jaw/chin maybe, my nose seems a bit more swollen on the end... It all just kinda comes and goes in a random fashion The thing thats really bothering me now though aside from the pain/swelling is the numbness... Its BAD in my jaw and chin and maybe I can just feel it more now that the pain isnt as bad and the swelling is going down... Whatever it SUCKS to be so numb in so many places on my head It doesn't seem to be getting much better at all and Im scared its gonna take a LONG time to regain feeling....

You will understand much better soon but your lucky your not doing your jaw/chin and a full face/neck lift as well... I have scars that go from the bottom of my earlobes all the way up across the side of my head and across my forehead.... I also have scars going back about an inch and a half behind my ears... from the front of my face everything behind the scars is very numb including my ears... My jaw/chin and lower lip is very numb.. My entire forehead, very numb.... Only the middle of my face and the back of my head feels anywhere near normal... Its pretty scary and I just want to feel normal again...

Eva you look so great I'm excited for you. I can't wait to see how Clara's FFS goes. I have already started a FFS savings account. Hugs Robin.

Thanks Im feeling a bit better about my looks at least today

I might even get dolled up and go out later to the usual spots and see how casual acquaintances react now

OMG...Eva...this is awesome, girl!!!!! Yay...I am so freaking happy for you...!!!
I have obviously been here very little lately as this is the first Ive learned of any of this and had to dig all back through your thread to see what all was happening. Sorry...but OMG girl!!! Yay
Wow, honey this is so cool. I am so jealous, too. Giggle
You look super amazing, gf! So happy for you!

Hi Samantha your welcome to peruse my ramblings any time Sis, thanks and its good to see you WOW Im making you jealous??? Cool I think I need to get over myself already maybe LOL!!!!

Im still a wreck here but things are SLOWLY getting better...

Yes Im still full throttle , balls to the wall, full speed ahead going for this!!! I donno why Im still here because I feel like I cant really contribute much here anymore but I feel like its a good place to put it all out there... If it can help and inspire anyone here thats great but I just like my little corner here to vent and ramble on... I really appreciate everyone's encouragement and support, thanks to all of you and jeeze Im getting emo again

I need to get up and do something and get on with things... Enough with the pity party already
