I watched an episode of Sexcetera recently which had an article on Transsexuals. They were in some club in the U.S. and I was amazed at how shapely the girls were. They were all pre-op although the girls interviewed had no intention of completing the transition. They had beautiful figures. Perfect boobs and bottoms that looked like 2 soccer balls in a pillow case. I know these can be developed with hormones and implants but what fascinated me was the hourglass shape some of them had. Their waists were tiny. I read some brochures years ago from a sex change clinic and they clearly stated that they could not reduce the waist and an hourglass figure could not be achieved. I wonder how they did it. The girls were very nice but I think they would have projected a better image if they didn't display their male bits at every opportunity. They would project a better image to the curious audience if they kept their panties on.

I have never taken hormones and have a natural 30" waist which I can lace down myself to 25", this only stops there as I am not a contortionist. It does give me an amazing figure that I have not dared to go out looking like that as I do not want the attention such a shape would surely attract.

Hi Susan
I know what you mean. When at my ideal waight I am 30 waist and 36 hips and I have size 28 jeans that I can squeeze into. But these girls had an enormous difference between waist and hips and were naked.

They might be using injections of silicone. It is the fastest way to develop an attractive figure, but is very dangerous and does not last very long. However, the non pharmaceutical silicone is cheap, and "plumping parties" where several will be injected with the silicone in the breast, butt and hips to help form the hour glass figure. From what I have seen of younger TS (M2F), if you start young enough on hormones and exercise and diet, you can develop a very nice figure.

More recently, the Brazillian Butt Lift has been developed by plastic surgeons. They first do lipo of fat from the waist, then purify and reinject the fat cells into the buttocks and hips. The results are not always good, and the recovery is difficult (have to lay on your stomache for several months while the injected fat cells hopefully "take"). The only person I know in 3-D who had this done lost much of the fat cells over the first year, and the butt cheeks became asymmetrical, so resuts may not be what is hoped.

There are also silicone pads like breast augmentations that are implanted in the buttocks and wrap a bit around the sides to "widen" the hips. Expensive, but less recovery time (or so it is reported) than the recovery from the Brazilian Butt Lift. Well, not much different in price. About $14,000.

The TS you were talking about sound more like the silicone injection route was what they did. Most are also DIY hormones. The silicone becomes very hard in lumps over time, and infections and other reactions can usually cause problems. The stuff seems to absorb into all the body parts and organs, and most older plumpers (40s and 50s) have a lot of unspecified complaints and allergic reactions with inflamations. The people who are doing this are often engaged in prostitution or pornography and choose that route to make themselves more salable while they are young. They sometimes make themselves unable to have SRS due to the many allergic reactions and inflamations.

if u use a corset and tight lace long enough your body will change to fit that shape but it takes a long time in corsets that get smaller and smaller and is not the most pleasant thing in the world

If you want temporary curves, check these silicone hip enhancers out. Pricey, maybe, but capable of 12 months of daily wear according to the blub. The small enhancers are about $160.00, and the mega enhancers (they run farther down the leg to blend in) are about $300. Some people looking at the add think they would be quite warm and they well could be. They have self adhesive qualities sorta like some of the newer breast forms. Just wash them, dry, and wear again. To judge from the photos, they may be a bit pale for some skin colors or against tan skin. Be sure to look at the before and after pics.

I had heard about these last year but lost the link.

If anyone decides to try them, please post about your opinion of them. Might be better than the Veronica.

I've heard of taking ribs out to get the figure. As for lacing, you get immediate results as long as you're laced, but to achieve it without the corset times some years i think. Looking at those girls, do you think they really expended the time and energy to achieve those waists?

I bet it was surgically done. Maybe the girls were small to start with and junk was added to give them hips and boobs rather than having a waist taken away.

Myself, if I could ever reshape my body, it would be with my own fat and I have plenty to work with.

Likely so. And they possibly started quite young.

In either case, if they wanted the shape they got, then corset training could also have been done the entire time the hormones began changing them.

Back when women routinely used corsets to achieve the hourglass figure they also experiencecd a number of problems. Over time tight lacing can impact the internal organs and also lead to atrophy of the back muscles.

Anyone interested in corsets should see the LISA website http://www.staylace.com/

By the way I think the key here is what show Martina was watching. they probably picked a club frequented by the few people who can achieve that look.

By increasing the boobs and the hips a "waist" can be achieved. Yes you can get waist reduction surgery, this will not happen by hormones neither will it be a side effect or GRS.
