Hi , as anyone had any FFS done at the Agave Clinic in Spain ?

Some may be interested that the clinic uses Dr Ousterhout techniques.

Andrea, thanks for the link. That's quite refreshing how they just put their services right out there. It feels much more personable when the focus is on describing in layman's terms how surgeries are generally done. So many FFS sites out there seem to think that a gozillion image sets (before/after) are enough to put the prospective patient at ease. There are a couple of concerns I have, though. One is that most of the staff appears to be Spanish, yet the descriptions on the website appear to be written by a "westerner". I doubt the language barrier would be that small between the staff at that office and someone from the US. Or am I missing something? Are foreigners typically very fluent in English? The other concern I have is that there doesn't appear to be a lot of real-world FFS experience between the staff members. It appears that many of them have experience in the Oral and Maxillofacial arenas, but that a few of them went and paid a visit to Dr Ousterhout.

I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I see nothing on that website about the costs associated with these surgeries. I understand that they can't diagnose anyone over the Internet, or over the phone, but they could at least state in ball park figures what various costs might be. In my case I'd want to know how much a package of rhino, brow boss removal, scalp advance and orthognathic surgery would cost.

Hi Aeron,

Most European countries have English as their first language. The two Surgeons are Daniel Simon and Dr Bart van de Ven from Antwerp.

I am having a FFS Consultation on 28th July at Harley St , London. I will post further info after that. I would imagine costs would be comparable to that in the US.

Regards

Andrea

Yeap, I saw who the two surgeons were on the "staff" page. I will eagerly look for your impressions in the consultation. Question everything, and don't let the new surroundings or number of people in white coats overly impress, or overwhelm, you.

Sincerely,

Aeron

I went there. I spent all this money but unfortunately there were alot of mistakes. I saw another ffs surgeon who says it can be redone alot better.

I had a nose job and brow done.

I tried emailing them to get it done again and they drop the surgical fee but havent heard back from them. Does anyone know if they have closed?

They have stopped answering my emials?

Thanks.

Oh and to answer your question they are beginners at it, but the price is low. I think only one of them has the prroper qualification s os be careful.

      Sometimes we are faced with situations where the only response possible is grief.  Things will never be as we want them; people die, we lose things we cherish, we do not obtain what we earnestly desire.  I see some of those situations here; there are tools available to help you through the grieving process.  It's not easy.

      I would be happy to just have 4 disabilities. I take 27 different medications and it does little. I tried working when I got out of the military but couldn't maintain one. I have a lot of mental disorders myself. It would be neat to learn about each other's background. I do understand just wanting to be normal. My job is a stay-at-home parent which is exactly tougher than a regular job especially being a single parent.

      It is 5 posts for PM's from Members, but you can receive and respond to PM's from Moderators or Administrators before then.  This one is post #3 for you.

      Rich as in happy? Far from it. I'm happy about my kids but I shouldn't put all my happiness on them. I take care of myself and do the best I can. I'm happy and content that I have a house and car but nothing that can't be taken away from me like in an instant. I completely lack motivation and don't even want to do my walks anymore. I can't get a membership somewhere because I have kids that are mostly with me. I put myself out there for hoping something to come up and be good, but it's has always been like getting hit in the back of the head.

      Oh I'm wearing a blessed girl t shirt and blue capris. Nothing special today. It was just doing nothing day and feel guilty about it.

      Hi, I don't think I have enough posts to PM yet I don't think (I think it's 5?). I'm poor myself since I can't work, but my parents are luckily helping me get surgery covered by insurance since I am still on their insurance and they have flexible spending each year. I live far away from them, halfway across the country, but I'm glad I have their support.   On the day to day... having a disability sucks. I wish I could just work like everyone else and have a normal life, but my mental disorders prevent me from doing most things.   I'm glad someone else understands at least.

      Very pretty y'all. 4" heels is the max I can handle and not for long period of time. I don't see how women wear 5" and above. I love my feet. I sure don't want to punish them.

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol. 
    • Ashley0616
      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you.

      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
    • Ashley0616
      try to send me a message about it if you want.

      Not sure I could handle 4" heels.  I do have some 2" ankle boots though.
