Choosing The Doctor For FFS...


Jeanette West

Recommended Posts

I've had  quite some time to contemplate my doctors and I had thought I knew who I wanted to do my face; Dr. Spiegel, in Boston Mass. I even have my consult all set up for Sept 18th. Then I made the mistake of reading Yelp reviews. Okay, I fall back on my second choice, Dr. Toby Mayer in Beverly Hills, California. I read his too. What a mistake! (Insert facepalm). 

 

I have seen and read about the work of Facial Team out of Marbella, Spain, and they've been mentioned in a  thread here too. I know all docs make mistakes, and they wouldn't be in practice if they made too many, but dang! I am only going to get one shot here so I want to spend my money to get the best for it.

 

This being said, here is my question: Facial Team is up front about their digital FFS construct so you can see very near what you'll look like with each procedure performed. I have seen no U.S. based clinic or surgeon with this available. Does anyone know a doc who can do this? My recourse here will be to spend the coin to consult with Dr. Mayer and Facial Team. I have no problem with this, but I would rather have U.S. based surgery.

 

Thank you, and any suggestions appreciated.

Jeanette, remember the adage that a dissatisfied customer will tell 10 people of their experience while a satisfied one will only tell 1.  So I expected to primarily read negative posts on sites like that.  I had Dr. Spiegel do my trach shave and I was very satisfied.  Any doctor will have "issues" where the patient was not happy, but we never know how much of it is attributable to their perception of what they should look like afterwards.  That, and each of our bodies is different and will react to surgery in their own way.

Thanks! I am starting to get nervous, and I have only yet to even go to the consultation! HA!

In Wilmette today for electrolysis with Precision Hair Removal and met Dr. Zukowski. I have followed (and dreamed about), getting work done here since I saw his website back in 2000 when I was in university. He took the time to go over everything, spending about and hour and a half with me, and really put me at ease. All I can say is that I about about to write a check! I'll wait 'till the excitement wears off and I have my other consults. He suggested 500mL implants being the minimum for me! Yikes!

 

Facial clearing tomorrow, beauty sleep coming. :)

Not used to this 87* (30.5*C) temperature. It was 51* where I left. Phew, thank Goodness for air conditioning.

Best of luck tomorrow.   That was good to have a meeting with the doctor.  I'm glad to hear you were still enthusiastic after talking with him.  Sounds like a good fit.   Not knowing your frame size that doesn't sound too large. 

 

I know what you mean about the heat!   Argh!

Jeanette, there is actually an independent service that can do a digital FFS based on photographs.  Do a search on "Virtual FFS".  The service is provided by a transwoman in England who did a dissertation on FFS.  She reviews your photos and writes an analysis discussing which procedures would be best for you, along with providing excellent digitized images showing what you would look like afterwards.  Her recommendations are welcomed as input by a number of the FFS surgeons in this country and elsewhere.  I used the service, and was extremely impressed by what I got.  The cost is very reasonable, too.

@Jeanette West -- Just an update on what I posted earlier.  I went back to the Virtual FFS website to refresh my memory.  I have two points to add from that review:

  1. The transwoman who provides the service (Alexandra Hamer) did a thesis on FFS, not a dissertation (still impressive).
  2. She actually works with Facial Team as a virtual FFS artist and consultant, so the quality of work you receive by engaging Virtual FFS would be comparable.  (I found this on the "Disclaimers, Promises and my Qualifications" page of her website, which is worth a read.)

Thank you for informing of that website! I will most certainly use her service as soon as the swelling due to the electrolysis goes away.

Had my Skype consultation with Dr. Jeffery Spiegel this afternoon, 5:30 p.m. his time in Taxachusetts. This may explain what happened while I was talking to him.

 

His surgery scheduler had asked for a list of procedures Dr. Zukowski had suggested, so Dr. Spiegel could go over them and add or subtract from what he thought might be good for me.

 

Okay, we introduced ourselves, he asked me what I was thinking of, then asked me to turn to profile, and 45*, then back. He told me, "okay, this is what I think we should do....", and pretty much outlined exactly what Dr. Z was going to do. He went through this list quickly, so I asked him, "you can do this just from looking at me over a computer camera?" {MISTAKE} His reply was kind of off, I could tell I had insulted him but he hid it well, "I can tell this by the way you move, your profile and how you look". I was kind of flabbergasted. I know this guy is one of the best in the world, but still...

 

And that was where it ended, with him almost visibly disengaging, becoming positively uninterested. I hadn't meant to deliberately insult him, but there it was. So how much was I quoted? Are you ready?

$85,310.00 USD, which is twice what Dr. Z quoted for the same procedures. This is kind of fantastic as I saw a physician on Realself list a load of procedures for which she was charged $56,000.00 so why were mine so high?

 

I got a really bad feeling during the Skype, like I was just a ticket, not enough of a challenge, what-have-you. It really crushed the rest of my day. So there it is.

Dr. Zukowski is trained as a plastic surgeon, cut his teeth rebuilding people during his military stint, and has been in the game for 22 years. He actually suggested getting my breasts done while I was having FFS.

Dr. Spiegel is an ENT who has taken the ball and run with it. The photos on his website are like miracles. And I pissed him off. And he suggested I wait on the implants, "this will be a long afternoon", meaning this procedures will take a long time. And I pissed him off.

-crap-.

Over $85,000!  Sheesh.  I wonder what Dr. Deschamps-Braly would charge (he's Dr. Ousterhout's protégé, now that Ousterhout retired).  Or the Facial Team, for that matter.

 

Sounds like Dr. Spiegel is a bit touchy.

 

There is a Dr. Katherine Gast I heard about recently who works out of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  She is the Department Medical Director, UW Health Comprehensive Gender Services Program, and apparently does all gender alignment services including FFS (being that much of a jack-of-all-trades seems a bit of a stretch, but . . .).  She might have more reasonable rates.  I'm not sure how many FFS procedures she has 'under her belt'.  People seem to like her GRS work.

 

I'd shop around, both for rates and personality/bedside manor.

How did I not see this thread before. Dr. Zukowski's office is really close to me. I see they offer a 30 hour electrolysis package that can be done in 2, 7.5 hour, days. It would be real nice to get all my facial hair removed in a matter of days instead of months.

They'll do exactly that!

I cannot explain it. Like I said, I must have really made him burn up. And all by asking a question. Oh well.

So what are you going to do now (if I'm not being too nosy)?  (If I am being too nosy, feel free to tell me.)

 

I have a phone appointment tomorrow with Dr. Z. I'll ask some more questions, and while I am waiting for the date to come up, look at Dr. Toby Mayer. Remember, this is what Z has been doing for over 20 years.

Spiegel has an excellent web presence for sure, very nice, very flashy. Do they do the same quality work? How can one actually know if one is good enough to keep working without feeling the necessity to have a flash web presence and jack up their prices to the sky? And then maybe Spiegel really is a medical miracle. I have three months, I will figure something out.

Had my phone appointment today with Dr. Z, made me feel comfortable just as before. He answered all my questions, assured me all would go well, very strongly suggested I continue to exercise and eat really healthy to heal quickly and well. Asked about my outlook for the near future and also told me to continue working with my speech therapist so that I would be ready for the voice surgery.

So now I will keep working as much overtime as I can handle and wait for the clock to tick down. :)

Back from another trip to Chicago. Met with the doctor to go over everything again. In order to dial in the correct size for implants I have purchased a graduated cylinder off eBay so I know what the volumes of rice are (and I can trust the precision and accuracy of the measurements), so I can fill the nylons and see just what size looks best. The doc thinks 575 to 650's and 700's are not out-of-the-question. I am NOT on the same wavelength.

Tomorrow I will get my measurements and buy some bras shotgun style so I can fill in the cups to visualize what I am getting into (pun intended). I'll also try the Mentor visualizer to see how that works.

Another thing that is bothering me; he is seemingly fixated on smooth saline, which is my original desire, but I've changed my mind and am looking at the Siltex round moderate plus extra. I want the viscous squishiness of silicone. I will call Mentor tomorrow to ask for more info on the Siltex exterior.

I paid for the upcoming FFS too. That was an enormous load off my mind and a checked box in The Countdown. :) I also received my letter from my therapist today for my name change.

I have been to PHR in Wilmette, IL several times over the past 18 months, each time with Dr. Z doing the twilight and facial numbing. While I liked the man (and really liked his daughter when she came through one time), I have always thought he was exceptionally cavalier with his numbing, which made me worry a lot about how he would be in an actual surgery. For instance, he uses one hand with the syringe, and the other hand is not stabilizing my head/face. Several times the needle has gone through my cheek, into my mouth, leaving a bunch of lidocaine in my mouth, and then straight through the inside to another part of my skin. Even with the twilight medicine it is literally the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life so far. And MANY people have had amazing results from Dr. Z. For me though, he came off the list of possibles after my second round of numbing with him.

I had FFS last July with Dr Jens Berli at OHSU in Oregon.   Initially, I was all set up to go to Marbella, Spain, for the Facial Team.    Then the pandemic hit and I was unable to travel.   About that same time, my insurance came through and agreed to pay for the FFS with OHSU.   Dr Berli had done some training with Facial Team and he is very well versed in the elements of the procedures.  In my case, he consulted directly with Facial Team to develop my plan.  

 

He did not provide any pre-surgical imagery.   He said that OHSU would not allow it because those types of images lead to people with unrealistic expectations.  So I went into it blind hoping for a good outcome.   At least I had a good friend who had her FFS with Berli and she came out great.

 

The procedure was about 11 hours long and my insurance paid well over $85,000 to OHSU.   In addition, they paid out all the CT 3d Scanning.   Plus, they paid an additional $20-$30,000 for an earlier botched FFS attempt at OHSU where there was a medication error that almost killed me.     

 

Then, Dr Berli followed up with my eyelid surgery and lip lift in October, 2020.   

 

I had my final procedure to basically clean everything up last week.   I switched from OHSU to Dr Petroff.  SO glad I did.

The difference in patient care, communication, and attention to detail and planning was night and day.  Petroff center is amazing.   The work that Dr Petroff did is really stunning and I can't wait to show it off.   If I had it to do over again, and I was paying out of pocket, I would have Petroff do everything but the forehead work.   He doesn't do that.

 

Petroff came out about $2,000 cheaper on their quote for the final surgery than OHSU, and they did a lot more than what was in Berli's plan for the final surgery.  The final surgery was all out of pocket and cost about $12,000.00 all in.

 

If you have any questions let me know.  By the way, Berli quoted about $40,000 if I had ended up having to pay out of pocket.   So I do think he might be a bit more affordable than some of the other stateside options.   But either way, the whole thing would have been at least $60,000 even if I paid out of pocket.

There seem to be more options now for FFS now that insurance companies are paying. I have talked with Dr. Spiegel. He seemed affable. I hear he does some great work. As for the Yelp and Google reviews, I do not pay those much attention. I know of a hospital that manipulates their google reviews by having various members on their staff go online and post these glowing reports. It makes the place look better than they are. There is no question that having a rapport makes things better. I am anxious to meet Dr. Z. I am looking to go to Chicago by March for electrolysis. As for the lidocaine injections, yeah, sometimes no matter how careful you are, one can go right through the skin. This can occur no matter how careful you are. I would not beat up on Dr. Z for that. Yeah, needles in skin are not good. It's funny, I do not mind shaving my legs all that much, but ugh, I hate having to shave my face.

      https://apnews.com/article/title-ix-sexual-assault-transgender-sports-d0fc0ab7515de02b8e4403d0481dc1e7   The revised regulations don't touch on trans athletes; which I totally understand, as that's become a third rail issue and this is an election year.  But the other changes seem pretty sensible, and will obviously result in immediate right wing lawsuits.   Carolyn Marie

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!
    • Susan R
      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!
