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,

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.

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 !

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.

      Now that is what I call service!  Congratulations on your HRT and on having such good patient care.

      I agree with you, and I consider myself lucky to have a realistic understanding that I’m never going to have my dream body. I take comfort in the fact that women come in all shapes and sizes. I compare myself to the women in my family at the age I am now, and see that resemblance. It may be easier to transition into an Auntie or Grandmotherly figure once you reach a certain age.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I’m happy that I’m moving closer to @Betty K although I don’t have a problem getting my point across when defending our LGBTQIA community.

      Once I start mowing the lawn I’ll be listening to Outlaw Country on SIRUS XM on my noise canceling headphones. I often wonder if drowning out the motor noise and replacing it with your favorite tunes is really protecting your ears? Rock on with new song writers that aren’t a part of the Big Corporate Music Grinder.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Heather Shay, you know me, I am a total crybaby. My emotions flow right through me.

      Is it a thing to not want to be transgender? Absolutely. I’ve heard trans folk say many times that they wished they were born cis. I find it heartbreaking and I’m hugely relieved I don’t feel that way, but I know some people do.   You don’t need body dysphoria to be trans. You don’t need any dysphoria. You just need to feel a mismatch between your gender identity and your sex assigned at birth. Of course, whether or not you should transition is a different question, but some people do so without body dysphoria. In my case, my dysphoria is mainly social, though I do feel some body dysphoria.   British writer Paris Rees said that maybe if society weren’t so transphobic she wouldn’t have felt the need to transition. I wonder about that sometimes too, but I find it impossible to know.   Can I make one suggestion w/r/t therapists? I agree with Vicky’s suggestion, but I hope you will avoid anyone claiming to practise “exploratory therapy”, and if you start feeling that a therapist is trying to “cure” you of your gender that you will find someone else. The affirmative model of care, contrary to what some anti-trans campaigners would have you believe, simply means that the clinician takes your own view of your gender seriously. This is crucial, imo, if you are to discover your own identity. No-one can know if you are trans but you, but it sure helps to have someone knowledgeable to discuss it with.

      Good morning everyone,    Parker has been walked, fed and watered. He’s now checking to make sure the backyard doesn’t have any squirrels in it. The largest squirrel is on an overhanging branch chirping at him. The other sounds of the neighborhood include a far off in the distance interstate highway, that is drowned out by bird songs claiming the feeders are full. We still don’t have any cicadas in our area yet. The coffee pot is finishing up so I’ll be scrolling through the threads with thumb swipes, and not replying until I drink the first cup. Today is the pick of the week according to the local weather person. So I’ll be mowing the lawn once the morning dew has lifted.    I hope you have a wonderful day.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      You might need adjustment. I think fatigue might be something you discuss with your endo or doctor or NP.
