Hi,
I am having my procedures done at NYU Langone and they are amazing. What is so great is that they take my insurance for almost everything. It is such a dream in comparison to worrying how I am going to pay for it all. Plus my surgeons are three of the best in the world based on all of the referrals I have gotten and I have seen a lot of people including in Asia and Europe. I would love to discuss outcomes and recovery times with people who have gone through both top, middle and bottom surgeries. Thanks,
Steph
Thank you for this story it real helped me decide that facial feminization surgery is something I definitely want to do. But it also leaves questions as well for what I have not even started HRT yet so I don't know where to start as far as surgery Etc but your story has helped me and I appreciate it much love.

Luna, I've never been to the annual Keystone Conference in Harrisburg Pennsylvania but I've heard and read that it is filled with much information about transitioning, surgeries and so forth. It's one of the bigger CD/TG conferences. Here is a link to the webpage. If clicking on it doesn't work then just copy/paste to the url window.

I looked at the schedule and it looks like so much great info is available. The website also has links to other conferences. Good Luck.
Yes! I would consider it but until I'm on the hormones for a year or more my GP has told me to wait. If this is you in the picture your looking good.
Have you had surgery in the USA or another country I'm in the U.K. We have facial experts in Spain which I have already contacted initially.
Lots of Love! Jessica Scarlett.
I am doing facial surgery in Bangkok in the fall. I will live there for possibly 4 months. I am having my eyebrows raised, nose and cheek thinned, trachea surgery....I cannot wait. The cost is reasonable and the hospitals there have complete departments for transgender surgeries.
Best of luck dear!
One of my friends did her SRS back in Bangkok many years back, and loved the experience of Thailand
Thank you. I am going to stay for a few months. I really like the hospitals. I have consulted via zoom.
Hi Sara, I never thought about Thailand, I’m definitely going to research this avenue. OMG how exciting. Thank you Sara.

I have yet to get anything.... from my research
" the pass clinic" in I think Belgium ( not sure) looks to me to have the best results.. especial chin and jaw work.
Hi Vanessa, I’ve read itt can cost upwards of $50,000 that is a ot of money, saying that I have started saving money for FFS. This is something I want desperately, I’m not sure how much insurance will cover if they cover any of it. I know they will cover my breast augmentation,and my SRS but you still have to jump through a lot of hoops, which I am doing now. I am moving forward I will never look back. I’m so very happy with my decision.

Vanessa,
I've been paying attention and reading your various articles. I actually am a bit surprised you are having or have had FFS. To me, your evolution from believing you were only a crossdresser to seeing yourself as a bigender transgender was and is an interesting story, and it seemed to me that you were fine with people clocking you. So, that is my surprise about your decision for FFS.
I was told many years ago when I was still searching as to what I was, that perhaps I was two-spirited. When told that, I was still too new in discovering who I really was to accept it. When I read your article about being a transgender, and specifically bigender, I thought that made sense for me, as opposed to describing myself as two-spirited, since that term connotes two separate spirits in one person. I know I have one spirit, the female traits being much suppressed. I'm suppressing them much less now, but due to circumstances with my spouse, I still feel I suppress them when out with mutual friends.
I know much of what I've said so far does not concern FFS, but I thought it important to tell you some things about myself.
I've considered having FFS for many years now. In my second novel, one in which I denied for a long time being the protagonist, I recount the facial procedures she had done. Of course, those procedures are the same ones I wished to have done on myself. I have a cis girlfriend who told me I don't need to have any facial surgery. I think she wishes me to wait until after my hormonal therapy has it's full effect. I'm doing that and will wait and see if she or I think differently. But I'm not sure how long on hormones I need to wait before I decide for or against FFS. Would you know how long is enough to wait?
I enjoy reading about ffs and it makes me very happy for the person who can get it.
For me it’s not likely and it keeps me from going out and from making friends. When I do go I’m in full makeup and wear my hair in my face. I only post pics if I’ve done a “photoshop” makeover.
At any rate, congrats to those who can and hopefully it will be affordable soon. 🙂
