I have acromegaly. It has ruined my face. What can I do? (Photo)

October 21, 2019
Asked By:MintCheerio in USA

I was diagnosed with acromegaly over two years ago, and had surgery to remove the adenoma a month after being diagnosed. I receive a monthly injection and take an oral medication to help keep my levels down. I really would like to look feminine again, but I am afraid of skin sagging after any procedure.
