Hey there !
im looking to start saving for surgery now , hopefully i eventually get there.... lol
im in the uk , I was wondering what peoples personal experiences were , about travelling aboard for surgery or where you went in the uk
and where NOT to go
and on average how much should I try and achieve saving ? £5000 or more ?
I heard thailand is good , but gangnam in korea is ment to be a plastic surgery capital
prague is ment to be quite good aswel ?
is there anywhere in the uk that you would recommend
are there any sites to find a good surgery for ftms ?

thanks guys

Well, you can do it privately if you really want to - but being in the UK means that you're one of the fortunate few who can actually get top surgery for 'free'.

Top surgery is available on the NHS, and I'm getting mine done at a private hospital (paid for by the NHS) in four months' time. That's just over a year and a half after I first came out to my GP.

It's recommended (but not essential) that you ought to have been on T for at least six months before they operate... so it might be a good idea for you to consider waiting until you've at least been assessed by a GIC before making any decisions. If nothing else, you'll save yourself a small fortune... because FtM surgeries are the most expensive of all SRS procedures (especially bottom surgery, which is also available on the NHS).

Dr Yelland has a really good reputation, he's in the UK but I think with the NHS.I have a few FB/youtube friends that have been to him. I don't know if you are private pay or how that works, if he would take you. Top surgery is one of those things where I don't think going abroad actually pays. People go to the US. It does tend to be cheaper here, depending on who you go to.
I think you have seen a lot of doctors here. Dr. Garramone is something like 4000 UK pounds of course that's all without travel and so on. A lot of UK guys go to him. There's an advantage of everyone speaking English (well sort of   )

I traveled to German to make my surgery. as I had only heard good about the hospital and germany itself about top surgerys.
It where not posible for me to get the surgery in my own country without risk so im happy I made the decition.

the price wasnt too expensive but you also have to think about food and the travel and if you are to have someone with you and all that who also cost money.
So that that into consideration whereever you go.
