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…
If your dominant hormone is estrogen, new fat will go to fem places. If your dominant hormone is testosterone, new fat will go to masc places. Old fat only goes away when either your body converts it to energy or it naturally breaks down after ~1.5 years.
If you stop taking estrogen and your dominant hormone becomes testosterone again, the fat you had placed while on E will go away when you burn it for energy or when the fat cell breaks down after ~1.5 years, whichever comes first. Except your boobs stay.
Your boobs stay because breast tissue stays. Breasts are also made up of fat in addition to breast tissue, and breast fat will “redistribute” in much the same way as other body fat.
