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

Mary Ellen, Steven Brown does treat transgender patients, but he is not a surgeon, to the best of my knowledge.

As for what surguries that I would have, I think that I would like to have GRS, a trache shave, and lose some of the excess skin I have on my chin and neck area. I would like to avoid breast augmentation, but it is certainly within the realm of possibility for me. If I don't manage to get rid of all this excess weight, liposuction is a good possibility, if I can afford it at that time.

I never answered this, I guess I was still new and shy.

Dr. Bowers, I selected her before I even got my therapist - actually she recommended my therapist to me.

SRS is all, I lived with this face I was given for this long and most say its more female than male so why not?

Love ya,

Sally

I had my Orchiectomy done by a Dr. Fyke in Saint Louis, and plan on going to the University of Michigans Comprehensive Gender Clinic for all my other Surgeries. They are the only ones that I have found that will accept my Medicare insurance for SRS. I was planning to do it this August but I had to have another stent put in one of my corinary arterys this month so I have to wait another year. I'm hopeing that I will get rid of enough weight that the doctor can give me a tummy tuck and use that skin for added depth durring my SRS. The more I think about it the more I want to have some FFS work done as well. Maybe cheek implants a nose job and possibbly have something done to my chin.

I'm probably going to Thailand since It's cheaper.

I want FFS but I'm gonna see how HRT does first.

I want breast enlargement surgery and of course SRS.

Geez...how did so many of us miss this....???

I choose Thailand....I've been there on different occassions and I love the culture and the people.

They are leaders in GRS surgery! VERY talented and modern tecniques!

I think I'll stick with that ...gotta see how I develop in the front!

Simple Mastectomy- Probably with, I think their name is Glenn Davis, just because they're a half hour drive from me and it's not like I want a transguy results, so it's okay if they're imperfect. ASAP

Hysterectomy- again, anyone close is fine as long as they're qualified and have done it before with good results. With ovaries removed. I'd love to have the vaginal canal gone, but I don't know if that's possible. I might end up not doing it if I can find a birth control that stops the cycle and doesn't mess with my hormones too bad, but I don't think that's possible.

I'm worried about hormones, just because I want something unusual and netiher is realy a good option.

I can't afford to get a pimple squeezed by a plastic surgeon here. I want a simple mastectomy for now. That is all I'm sure of.

I don't know for sure, but I believe that Canada covers SRS for transpeople if you can't pay, I might be wrong. You also might see if you can get it covered for a medical reason, if you're lucky. That's what I'm trying to do.

had my chest surgery with Dr Melissa Johnson in Springfield Mass. she does great work.

If money was no problem, I'd definately go to Dr. Perovic to complete the rest.

Gee i missed this one too.

Grs with Christine Mcginn in Philadelphia is my 1st choice and Supporn in Thailand is my second choice.

If i decide on FFS it will be a brow shave, but hair will pretty much cover it so i don't know.

Hey, my friend!

I see my GP Monday. I've got a lot to cram into 10 minutes, but this'll be on the list for sure.

I think you mentioned seeing a gender therapist- you should ask them about it as well, they'd probably know more, too.

Heck yes. That's the first thing I'm shooting and saving up for. Metaoidioplasty... maybe. Once I have money (and no boobs!!) I'll think about it. If I went for bottom surgery I'd probably have that one. But I'd really have to think about it. I don't want no damage and such down there, (Le ouch!) and I'm not exactly suicidally dysphoric about it.

Not sure about doctors but...

I would just get a peri, in the hopes that good things (like much improved bottom surgeries) come to those who wait...

:P

      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. 
    • Ashley0616
      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. 
    • Ashley0616
      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. 
    • KayC
      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.

      When I got on HRT people remarked on how happy I was.  I had insisted that I was happy before, but now I realized I only thought so.
    • Birdie
      My new 4" heels I picked up today! 😘
    • Astrid
      One of the nicest confirmations for me was when the 'new me' felt absolutely normal. I had, like almost everyone, felt very excited with each new development. But 6 years in, it's wonderful just experiencing things, like HRT, as daily rituals that are simply part of my life.   I also am privileged to have experienced a feminine perspective these last six years. It confirms how unhappy I was earlier, and things like masculine privilege and mansplaining are so apparent to me now.    Kind regards,   Astrid
