My head is pretty long and oval, but what is midface in 4tran context exactly? Like the individual parts are fairly proportionate, so I have a big forehead but other parts too. What can ffs fix and what can it not? Is my neck going to shrink on HRT? Can my eye size change? They seem kinda small :(

    your neck is largely muscle, so it is likely to shrink but slowly. your eyes will not change, but the fat around them that makes them look smaller can, you can also get a browbone and cheekbone reduction during ffs to increase that effect, but it will be mostly due to a large skull, as eyeballs are roughly the same size in most adults.

    ffs can fix midface but with a lot of asterisks. you can fix perceived midface fairly cheaply if it partly comes from a long philtrum, but it can also require a “lefort reduction” which is pretty expensive.

    to tell if you have a long midface… based on your description you probably do, but if it fits the rest of the face it can be manageable without ffs. its not as damning as people imply, but it has a pretty big impact on beauty (not necessarily passing)

      So I’m doomed by large skull then. I won’t even measure it I don’t want to brainworm myself more

        i didnt say that. youre not doomed by any single trait. thats a pretty bad one but it could also be caused by other shit. dont spiral over something unproven and potentially isolated :/

          But I think I do really, like I know even without measuring. But I can’t do anything about it so I shouldn’t doom.
