What Surgeries Would You Have And What Doctor Would You Use?

Guest A Girl

FFS - Dr. Spiegle, Boston Med. Pioneered many of the current FFS tecniques. Have already consulted with, setting up my finances to do so as soon as possible.

SRS, GRS, Whatever - Dr. Marci Bowers, Trinidad, Colorado. One of the most gifted, if not the most gifted surgeon in this area of medicine. And a t-girl herself to boot!!! This girl does it right the first time.

Dr Marci Bowers, Trinidad, Colorado. Shes one of the leading surgeons in GRS/SRS and shes also been through the transition herself.

Not sure about FFS I got many years to decide both :lol: so I aren't really in any rush but I would like someone professional and I think everyone else would =D

Hi,

This is something i have been contemplating for quite some time.

My SRS,GAS...i have narrowed it down to Dr.Chetawutt or Dr.Preecha in Thailad...cost effective.

I will also opt for the Tracheal Shave...possibly Breast Augmentation during the same visit.

Due to the pain involved,it isn't recommended by other girls...But once again it will be cost effective.

FFS...Rhinoplasty,Forehead Shave and Lift,maybe Chin Implant...when and if i can afford these

other proceedures.

Angie.

If I could have any surgeons.....

Top: Dr. Garramone in Florida

Bottom: Dr. Meltzer in Arizona

But I am likely headed to Thailand for a dual surgery that will remove my breasts and my uterus and ovaries at the same time. However I can't find anyone who has been to the NEO Plastic surgery clinic. http://thailandplasticsurgery.com/ I already posted about this somewhere else...

I have done loads of research about Dr Suporn in Thailand and his SRS technique and I will now be going there as soon as I can and I have enough money. I am going to have breast augmentation which I already can afford and FFS unsure I more than likely will but the most important to me is SRS.

FFS - Dr. Ousterhout in san francisco (probably just tracheal shave and brow reconstruction, enough to pass. I'll do all the other ffs after SRS.)

SRS - Dr. Kamul in thailand

I have no clue what doctors I would have. Competant, but not too expensive. I am going to get top surgery, and would like bottom surgery but all methods currently available are unaffordable and unsatisfactory, so I am not sure.

Top Surgery - Dr. Michael Brownstein in San Francisco, California

Total Hysterectomy/Vaginectomy - Dr. Toby Meltzer in Scottsdale, Arizona*

Phalloplasty MLD Flap/SRS - Dr. Perovic in Belgrade, Serbia

If I can arrange it, I might combine the vaginectomy and the phalloplasty with Dr. Perovic, but most likely I would prefer to do both the total hysterectomy and vaginectomy within the same surgery on an earlier date.

*Toby Meltzer (and his associates) is well-known and considered skilled within his techniques. One of his associates performs the total hysterectomy/vaginectomy procedure. I may decide to get my chest surgery with Dr. Meltzer as well.

Top surgery! I want it so bad! From looking at pics online and such, I think I'd go with Dr. Michael Brownstein.

I'm still kinda undecided on bottom surgery.

Top - Probably Dr. Beverly Fischer in MD. Looking though photos, she seems to have some of the best results with keyhole/peri-areola surgeries.

Not planning any other surgeries for now.

i would have the srs right away. i would wait for any breast surgery until i've been on hrt for the recommended time. i don't think i would be in any hurry for ffs although i'd seriously consider it. i do have one question though. if for example the male member is 8 1/2" before surgery, does that mean the depth of the vagina will be 81/2"? i noticed that different women have different depth's. just curious.

thanks,

sheila

I don't know how long you've been on HRT, but things have a tendency to shrink over time. But in general the more donor material you have before means better depth after.

i should have made it clear i wasn't talking about me and was just using that size for an example. maybe i should have said 3". that would mean a depth of less than 3"? at this time i'm not on hrt. i thought that now that i know what i want to do with my life that this place would be a good start. everyone here is way ahead of me in their journey that i sorta feel like an outsider, not part of the community. i've been alone all my life and i'm used to it. i apologize if i'm out of line and don't mean no harm. i was curious though, that's all.

3"=3"? More or less. But that's where skin grafts come in. If the surgeon doesn't have enough donor material they will get extra skin from the upper leg or lower abdomen so they can give you adequate depth.

after sudying the situation, i would chose Dr. Marci Bowers. she would be my only choice. yes, i would have ffs. i've seen some of the result's and am quite impressed. don't have to think twice about the breast augumentation. i would wait until the homones have run their course as i see this is the proper proceedure. yeah. srs eve, the night before i'm finally a real woman.

that would give me depth, but would a skin graft from the thigh or other area hinder sensation?, i'm curious

      Thank you! I'm out of coffee so I have been drinking hot tea instead. Looking forward to the 1st. It's crazy that we are almost in May. This year has flown by really quick! Good to hear that y'all got to sleep in. Hope you have a good weekend too!

      It's nice to care about others but you need to live your life as you please. No one be your only source of happiness. Love yourself and don't look back. I lost over 40 family members it hurts but apparently, they didn't truly love me. True love will always be there through the thick and thin. I can honestly say that HRT has made me think in ways that I never thought I would. I get myself some shoes or clothes every month because retail therapy not only helps but it is a reward to myself to show love. I have over 100 dresses. I have a whole walk-in-closet full of clothes and 67 pairs of shoes. I love who I am. I was born in 84 so not all people in the 80's think that way. As far as the name just take your time and be happy with it. I knew I loved the name Ashley. Take care and welcome!

      Congratulations Sam,   The common saying her once someone starts HRT is: “Enjoy the ride.”   Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired
