Hi again,

   I just wanted to share some interesting facts for TS folks who might be
intersted...

1. There is work being done on a new type of breast implant that uses of
all things... peanut oil! The new implant is totally safe (peanut oil is
nontoxic, steril, and can be readily absorbed by the body in case of a 
leak). The other big advantage is that it doesn't obscure normal breast
tissue during a mammogram... making it nearly ideal for the application.
Talk to your doctors about the use of such prosthetics, it could save 
you serious misery in the long term.

2. For pre or post op TS folks who have scars that they want to remove...
there is a new dermabrasion technique that appears to be quite succesful at
removing scars. It seems most effective for scars 4 weeks to 6 months old,
but seems to do a very nice job on significant scars many years old. If you
have an interest, you may want to ask a plastic surgeon.

3. Don't forget that electrolysis is not for everybody... people with skin
of olive complexion (particularly mediteranean decent) may have problems 
with electrolysis. I've read that skin with a "low melting point" seems 
to be the issue. By the way does anyone know if this includes Asians as
a group, I would be most interested???

4. During that period after beginning hormone therapy, but before the big
plunge, where you may or may not have yet made a public disclosure of your
intent... a sports bra (you know the "Y" back kind), about 1-2 sizes small
combined with really baggy tops, can virtually prevent any embarrasing
situations.

Now I have some questions...

1. How does female hormone therapy effect mail pattern baldness???

2. What is involved in laryngial cartilidge surgery (removal of the adams
apple), and how much does it cost???

3. About how long after the beginning of hormone therapy, do female   
secondary sex characteristics become evident??? physical??? emotional???
psychological???

THAX Rita, you don't know how much I appreciate your contact, Thank you
all...

Marie :-)
