PSA: Yes, FFS can make you look like a "man who had work done"
I've had FFS, and like a lot of people I made it out to be the be-all-end-all of passing and my eventual drifting off into anonymous womanhood. That did not, nor did it come even close to happening. You see, FFS is a series of relatively small procedures designed to feminize both the bone or soft tissue of your face. The problem is that's ALL it does. I have a gigantic head with about a million other features/ratios that are very visibly masculine but not things that can be addressed thru surgery. What am I left with? I have Arnold Swarzeneggar's head with Sigourney Weaver's face on it. That does not, and will never look natural... in fact I get more stares and glares now more than ever because I have a sort of Michael Jackson effect in public... "What the fuck...something ain't right here"... that sort of thing.
All I'll say is BE careful. Be sure to closely analyze not only the features that your FFS surgeon will address... but perhaps even more so the features he will NOT address, and ensure that your face will gracefully lend itself to feminine features. 80-90% of us will pass after FFS, no questions asked.
It's the ~10% of us with very distinct and pronounced masculine features that will not be fixed with FFS that need to be cautious about it.
