How Many Surgeries Will Doctors Do At Once?

[Guest tfritz]

Im starting to look into srs and ffs and have just been wondering

I was going to take out a student loan this fall and I wanted to get srs and then my chin and nose done and was wondering if any doctors in the u.s. do that during the same surgery.

Im just starting to look and wasnt sure. if anyone has a bunch of info on surgeries / prices or any of that it would help me out

I'm not sure if they will, you may be under the knife for a very long time, and prolonged surgery of any kind has great risk with anesthetic problems.

Plus, your body will be sore from head to crotch :3

I have seen on a couple of sights from Thailand that they can do a little more than just Srs sometimes a BA but not too much on FFS at the same time - a lot of recovery time.

Love ya,

Trying to understand what student loan has to do with the surgeries.

[Guest tfritz]

I figured if i Pulled out a student loan I could use it on the surgeries! can I not do that?

[Drea]

The bank will write the check to the school or pay the school directly to insure payment goes to what the loan is being taken out for.

In another topic someone was talking about having the school increase the tuition by an amount equal to the surgery and that the school would pay for the surgery that way. That somehow, as a required medical expense, they could do that and include it just as they would include housing and health insurance fees.

Someone seemed to suggest the same. So maybe its valid though to me thee does seem something a bit underhanded about it.

Now maybe this is what you were thinking, I don't know. I never heard anything like this till a couple days ago.

that really true Drea. they will write the check out to you only. you can use it either way you want. its just your gunna have to pay it back some how.

Financial aid, such as student loans are given only to be used for school related expenses. However, they do include housing, food, and necessary medical attention that. They really have no way of seeing what you spend it on though, and I see a surgery that will let you be able to focus on schooling as a good way to spend the money. I've even considered doing the same thing as the interest rates can't be beat!

i got my chin, brow shaved, brow embossed, cheek implants, nose and breast implant surgeries all in one go, 2 days later i got lipo and 2 days after that i got a voice change and adams apple removed. I had only been fulltime for 9 months so they wouldn't do the srs.

but i had alot of surgeries mostly in the first go. the pain was alot to handle and only now 3 months later i can feel my face. my voice is slowly recovering still.

after having all that done, i realised if i could of gotten srs at the time ontop of everything else the pain would have been unbearable, as it was i could hardly move.

but i guess if you just want your nose, chin and srs it should be doable, if not in one go atleast in the same hospital stay.

I saw Doctor Suthat at Yanhee hospital in bangkok, it's cheap but they are very experienced with transgender patients and the nurses are lovely.

i would suggest looking up yanhee, i went through destination beauty and they have no problems asking any questions you would have.

good luck

I took out student loans to do my surgeries in the past. Loans are just that .... Loans, its not like the FAFSA which matches yoru tutition to your scholarship or whatever. I say take out the loans and go for it. I did it throughout my collegiate career. Fortunately i had scholarships that paid for my tuition and books and used the loans to travel, get surgery etc. Just don't go crazy !

[Guest Robin Winter]

Though I question the wisdom in using a student loan in this manner, many surgeons will perform several surgeries at the same time. It can save you thousands of dollars in anesthesia, and is recommended for anyone who can afford it and is able to spend the extra time in recovery. I can't say for certain if they would perform those particular procedures together, but I know you can get breast augmentation with SRS or vocal surgery/trachea shave etc.

The best way to answer the question would be to contact whichever clinic you're planning to go to and tell them specifically what you're looking for.

The thing is, SRS is a very long, complicated procedure. Doctors like to keep anesthesia as short as possible, so adding a complete chin and nose restructuring complicates matters. The only possibility I could think of would be to have two surgeons at once, one cutting open your face and the other making your ladybits. And I think that'll be hard to come across. Plus post op would be a nightmare. I don't think it's a superb idea.

My FFS was 9 hours (2005). My SRS was about 3-3.5 hours I think. Of course how long FFS takes depends on the number of procedures involved. I think anyone who wants to do both in one trip is CRAZY, both are major surgery.

I could not imagine getting all of that at once and being able to keep up the dilation schedule afterward. Yikes!
