One year anniversary of my Forehead Surgery which occurred early morning of June 19, 2013.

One year anniversary of my Forehead Surgery which occurred early morning of June 19, 2013.
(Buenos Aires is a little ahead, time-wise.)
Progression from original to one month after forehead to after rhinoplasty day 16.
July 2, 2013 -Me and Dr. DiMaggio.Two weeks after forehead, but before rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty was done later in the United States on August 29. (Those earring do not go with that necklace.)
Progression shots of just the forehead healing. This is still before rhinoplasty. The first photo is before the forehead surgery. The second photo is one week after the forehead surgery. The last photo is one month after the forehead surgery.
The point to this picture (above,) is to see the subtle but powerful effect that just forehead contouring surgery can have.
(And a tiny bit of makeup... The makeup in the "after" photo is left over from the day before and I thought i had done a better job washing it off.)

Epub 2010 May 12.Quality of life of individuals with and without facial feminization surgery or gender reassignment surgery.Ainsworth TA1, Spiegel JH.Author information AbstractOBJECTIVES: To determine the self-reported quality of life of male-to-female (MTF) transgendered individuals and how this quality of life is influenced by facial feminization and gender reassignment surgery.
METHODS: Facial Feminization Surgery outcomes evaluation survey and the SF-36v2 quality of life survey were administered to male-to-female transgender individuals via the Internet and on paper. A total of 247 MTF participants were enrolled in the study.
RESULTS: Mental health-related quality of life was statistically diminished (P < 0.05) in transgendered women without surgical intervention compared to the general female population and transwomen who had gender reassignment surgery (GRS), facial feminization surgery (FFS), or both. There was no statistically significant difference in the mental health-related quality of life among transgendered women who had GRS, FFS, or both. Participants who had FFS scored statistically higher (P < 0.01) than those who did not in the FFS outcomes evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: Transwomen have diminished mental health-related quality of life compared with the general female population. However, surgical treatments (e.g. FFS, GRS, or both) are associated with improved mental health-related quality of life.
