Would My Face Change Much In Two Years?

[Guest andreahilton]

Haiii, I'm just a little bit worried about my face, I'm not on HRT or anything, will be in two years time. The thing is, my face look like a real female face (oval/heart shape with a hint of male features) now and that makes me happy since it matches my soul and heart. However, I am 16 years old girl in a male body, I'm just worried if my face would suddenly become real manly, go square or real big by the time I'm 18 years old....

My body is a very fast working body, I'm very skinny, I produce a LOT of acne and my body can develop so fast, once I had nice arms and legs, now they look manly and have muscles even though I NEVER dare try to exercise or anything because my body just love giving me muscles real fast. To others I may be lucky but this is terrible for me!

I know it's IMPOSSIBLE to exactly know if I would develop a manly face in two years time but I would like something to keep calm. Is there anything that could may be possible?

you might want to talk to your dr about anti-androgens, they would minimize or block the effects of testosterone. This would stop any further masculinization of your body.

[Guest Cait]

you might be just fine based on what i've seen

i myself didn't lose my "youthful" looks until my 20's.

---or I looked 18 ( or younger) until i was in my mid-20's.

now i look 21.

maybe you SHOULD look into hormone blockers.

I probably haven't varied much in how I viewed myself since 17 or 18.

There was no internet or resources available.

YMMV

You milage may vary. When you get on HRT - if you are already genetically inclined - you may get great results. Look at yourself as a blend of your parents. You will just get something more feminine when the estogen kicks in. BUT I think your question has more to do with what happens if you DON"t get on hormones in the next two years. Your testosterone will masculize you a bit, but it takes six or seven years to fully work, and you may or not already be on that path.

As others have mentioned you may want to see if you can 'halt' puberty until you become of age and can reasonably make a decision where you want to go with your life. Are you in the care of a gender specialist therapist yet? They can help you with that decision.

And my avatar? me after seven months. But I never had a super masculine face - genetics and all.

Hope this helps.

I was Very Masculine in every way,body,and facial features.

I felt before hand there was No Way I could pass without some FFS.

With patience,the magic of HRT, along with genetics,you can and will

be surprised by how much not only your body will change but your

facial features will start taking on the appearance of a woman.

I pass easily,had no surgeries,no Botox or fillers.

Remember ladies,Passing is 95% attitude.Know you pass and you do.

As some one suggested androgen blockers might help you alot. But...going through your teen years with out HRT is not always devestating thing physically.

There I am...no HRT. I have had zero ffs...and I am passing just fine. At the time I was able to press 1000 lbs with my legs. Relax...miracles do happen. You are young and once you start HRT things will go the way you want. If you cans tart HRT before the beard starts you are way ahead of the game.

If I may ask..what is the hold back on getting on hrt?

[Guest angie]

I have a picture of me at my biggest most masculine with facial hair.

I was Huge,my youngest's hand barely covered the top of my shoulder.

Now I am a little bitty thing,as my girlfriends call me,teeny tiny woman.

When I have shown my old self to others,they universally say,"There is

no way that man is you." I don't even look like the same person,he looks

like one of my brothers, not me.That is the magic of HRT at it's finest,

allowing others to see the real me,with little left of the old me.As I like

to say;The woman on the inside,is now a woman in the world.(smile)

Hugs,

I think you will be fine. You can look into anti-androgens, but I don't think you really need them. If you still have a feminine face, I don't think it will change much in two years. The shape probably won't change, because the shape is the shape of your skull, and that's probably fully developed.

[Guest andreahilton]

Thanks sooo much for answering everybody! First of all, I won't like go on anything at all because I'm just not ready to tell my parents who I really want to be, since they are pressuring me into becoming a man and they think allowing me to a "girly boy" in their view would make me become a man o.O I have no idea what they really meant. Anyway, I hope you're right about my face being fully developed and won't change much, or if it goes manly, hopefully HRT will do the magic

Once again, thanks for answering!

Ah but anti Androgens will stop testosterone from doing it damage,delaying masculinizing that much

longer.Letting the natural feminine self come more to the surface.Let your parents see the girl you

are meant to be.Why be who you are not?She doesn't and wont go away,she is who you truly are.

Big Hugs,

Sounds like that testosterone is flowing. Arms and legs becoming muscular and manly,lots of acne..... There's a prescription cream I urge you to check out called Benzaclin, I used to suffer from acne and get breakouts and all about 2 -3 years ago. I HATED it and nothing really worked until I went for a checkup with my pediatrician and he looked at my face and said that it's acne and he didn't want my face to scar so he wrote me a prescription for Benzaclin. This cream worked absolute wonders on me and not only is my acne now gone, I have no scarring left on my face and it feels amazing to have beautiful facial skin . Now I only apply a little dab of it if I see a little spot on my face or if I get a small pimple I just put this on and it's gone! I wish I would have known about this stuff years ago.

You said you're 'very skinny', how tall are you and how much do you weigh? That's not healthy for you and you NEED exercise. If you go jogging that's gonna give you your exercise that you're body needs while not making your body and arms all muscular, rather it'll tone out your body. I hope your not starving yourself or refraining from eating the required amount of food?

Your body doesn't love to give you muscles, your body is male (sorry if that offends you)and is currently at a stage where the testosterone is rushing through your veins and helping you bulk up on muscle and all. I'm a 16 year old guy so I know exactly what you mean.

Also, you said that it's IMPOSSIBLE to know how your face is gonna be 2 years from now but it IS possible to know pretty accurately how your gonna look in 2 years time and more. I'm not saying it;s an option for you to find out but their exists special computer software and technology out there that they use that can show you how you will look. I forgot what this process is called but it does exist, just letting you know.

Hope this helps

Are you shaving yet? What about the adam's apple? I didn't start shaving until I was 18, but if I knew then what I know now, possibly I could have spared myself from some painful and costly hair removal. My adam's apple became very prominent and I wasn't able to have it taken care of until a year ago, but it always was a dead giveaway.

[Guest gwenthlian]

Ive been on blockers for a few months now and though I never really got anywhere with male puberty as it was (next to no body hair, voice hardly deepened, no adams apple etc etc) it certainly helps mentally. Theres something safe feeling about nowing that nothing is going to change and not freaking out about seeing a hair on your face in the mirror or whatever. Psychiatrists and the like are also a lot more willing to hand out blockers than hormones and its easier to get past the family as well, they see it as "giving yourself time to think" (as if its a decision to agonise over for me ). There are also financial considerations as regards the future, blockers are both cheaper and a lot less painful than electrolysis 3 years later or however long down the line.

At the end of the day its about stopping physical changes but in my mind it also promotes mental changes, not giving myself time to question my feelings but giving myself time to develop them.
