The change

[Briarose GG]

Can anyone tell me if there is anything that my SO can do to reduce the size of his chest and shoulders? He is planning on hormone therapy and possibly surgery but he will Never be believable wiht his "football player's" shoulders and lack of a neck:sad: any ideas? Does anyone know anything about surgery in the Phillipines? Cost etc. He wants the facial femenization but not the sexual reassinment surgery. Briarose GG

That I know of, there is no way of reducing the size of any part of the body governed by bone size, excepting FFS. Hormones and exercise can re-shape soft tissues, and there are many women who are built like walls with legs, so that alone is no bar to 'believability', and I hope, happiness.

I know nothing of surgery anywhere at all that could reshape or remove bone from the torso, other than removal of a rib, but that tends to grow back apparently.

Take care :)

there is no surgery that can alter body shape.
once youve grown, its not possible to ungrow yourself sadly ..
which is annoying, cause id take about 6 inches off my height if i could :happy:

as for the surgery .. if you do a search online you will find thailand surgeons have gone quite high tech.
email them to see about prices, it all goes according to who you go with and what you want done.

Sadly if your born barrel chested, there is nothing you can do to reduce that, other than dieting to lose any excess pounds, however sometimes this works against you in other ways, being large makes you more rounded, which in turn is more feminine anyway. (well it works for me, that my story, and i'm sticking to it:blushing:)

The only real thing you can do, is decrease the chest size, by illusion, and affect. from the sounds of it your husband is TS? if so, he will need larger incerts than normal to round the chest, and make it more feminine, ie he will need a bigger cup size to make the affect work.

Basically (as I have said) I'm a large person with a large chest, so hence the way round it is to increase the bussom, and wear tops that are not tight, because that shows the real size over a top which just hangs on the top of your shoulders and over the breasts.

Basically, he should be able to get away with it, with good breast forms (mine are very large!) and he should even be able to fake a cleavage, to give the impression of being a gender female by birth, with a bit of practice, ie if you can present a female shape, and impressive cleavage (which larger people can normally do) this will enable him to be more passable.

but he will Never be believable wiht his "football player's" shoulders and lack of a neck any ideas?

with effort and time who knows, what we can do, remember women come in all shapes and sizes, so it is possable to pass for most, with effort.

Good Luck!

If your parner is planning on going through HRT, that does have a tendency to atrophy muscle mass, which can cause a slight reduction of overall shape. But the bone structure won't change. Just the muscular mass around them. Broad shoulders will probably still be broader shoulders unfortunately.

While your honey can't really do anything healthy to reduce natural body shape, she can choose outfits that minimize or compliment it. Try to encourage her to accept herself for who she is and to help her make wardrobe choices that help her feel feminine and pretty

One of the effects of HRT is changes in body mass and shape within limits. Developnent of breasts is one of these changes - loss of muscle mass and a redistribution of body fat is another. A lot of this is governed by genetics and a look at your female ancestors will give some clues about what may be expected. The underlaying bone structure will not change but there is a very discenable difference in appearance none the less. Taken all together the change will likely be enough to allow a "passing" appearance - "passing" though is as much or more about your attitude and how you carry/present yourself to others as anything else.
