I am quite a bit spooked by the permanent effects of HRT, but I rlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly want a feminine body type! I would like to ask whether the fat redistribution of mtf will last even after I stop taking estrogen? Theoretically if I were to take estrogen for 1-2 years (as I understand thats how long the full effect may take?) while I put on a bit of a weight to get da curves, would any stick on after I stop the e? I intend to limit the breast growth with raloxifene

I unfortunately cannot really ask a doctor and the theoretical thought process would be a DIY… In Hungary the rumor is that trans folk might be put on a witch hunt since our far right government is loosing favor with the ppl…

    It depends on your dominant hormone and how long you’ve been on it. If you’re on E and continue to be on E you’ll get most of the fat redistribution done by 2-4 years. If you’re really skinny, you might not have obvious changes until you gain weight. Breast growth can take a long time, I’ve heard of sudden breast growth even with 10 years hrt.

    For people that are unsatisfied with their fat redistribution, fat transfer surgery is an option for breast, hip, buttocks enlargement. Its usually about 10k USD for say a 2-3 cup size increase in the breasts, which is competitive with implants on the smaller side without needing to worry about silicone in your body. Plus side, if you gain weight, you get bigger boobs. You can take fat from wherever you don’t like it being.

    According to surgeons, silicone must be replaced every ten years and can have some pretty bad side effects.

    From what I’ve seen of fat transfer surgeries, they also tend not to scar much, they redistribute the fat by sucking it out with needles.
