Hey Everyone,

So the next big milestone in my transition is set for Dec 15. I will be undergoing FFS with Dr. Capitan and team in Marbella Spain. Procedures are:

1) Hairline advancement (2-3 inches)
2) Forehead Countering
3) Brow lift to match the new forehead shape
4) Rhinoplasty

Next steps - Book hotel and flight ... yay!!! super excited...

Thank you Eveline. I would really love your recommendations for hotel stay. I cannot seem to find anything close by to the Medical Center. And all the best with your surgery ..:)

Good Luck with your surgeries, If you cannot find a hotel maybe you could rent a yacht as I keep hearing of rich people mooring their yachts in Marbella.  ;D

Seriously though being as it's a holiday resort i would think there would be a few good places with rooms going cheap in the off season. Hope you find somewhere soon.

Hugs

Sorry for the delay, I've just been completely swamped at work.

I'm staying at Jenny's Nest if that helps. :)

Thanks Eveline. I have just reached out to Jenny. I am going to include it in my list of housing alternatives.

I know a lot of girls stay at Jenny's Nest during their time in Marbella. I recently got quoted EUR 2700 for my 16-day visit. The price just seems a bit too steep for me.

Bundle offers from sites like Expedia come up to $2300 for flight tickets and the 16-day hotel stay, all inclusive. The hotel is a 4-star property - "Hotel Fuerte, Marbella"

My question is what are the things should I be thinking about while making this decision. Staying at Jenny's Nest will cost me over $2400 more than the Expedia bundle. Are the additional services while staying at Jenny's Nest really worth the additional money?

Thanks and hugs ... Sneha

Hi ssneh. congratulations on your exciting procedure. I too am in a similar boat, I'm wanting the exact same procedures as yourself (hairline advancement, forehead contouring, brow lift and rhinoplasty) and am hoping to have the procedure done with the 'facial team' as well. I was wondering if you could at all give me some insight into how much the 4 procedures will cost you? I am yet to get an answer from the facial team as I am waiting to meet for a consultation in Melbourne, Australia on the 6th of December.

Thank you so much in advance! I wish you the best of luck with all your future work, and I eagerly await your response xx

You could have a look here:
scribd dot com/doc/97183271/FFS-PATIENT-GUIDE-TO-FACIAL-FEMINIZATION

Obviously its possible you need liquid diet for a few days.
As far as you would need a nurse, and what kind of care would be advisable you might ask the Team.

You might look for flights without accomodation, and compare then.

And maybe Jenny could be convinced to give some kind of discount because of the season, during that time hotels are less booked.
On the other hand you'd be in that location over christmas, so there might be a few aspects to consider... rather alone in a hotel or with company...

many hugs

Hey ssneha23!

I was browsing the FFS section to check up on my thread (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,190554.0.html) and I just saw yours!

So, I just had a consult with The Facial Team (Dr. Capitan) and I was pretty impressed.  I am now really strongly considering going with him and his team (even though its so much further from Hawaii than Chicago or Boston)! 

I see you are going in December and thought I'd post here because I am planning on getting FFS done in December as well (pretty much around the exact same time frame you are).  I already have a flight booked from Honolulu to New York on December 7th and I'm just trying to figure out who I want to go with (between Zukowski, Spiegel, and the Facial Team).  I still have a consult with Dr. Spiegel on July 15th, but if the price is better with the Facial Team (which my research leads me to believe it will be), I am most likely going with them.  So, if you're looking for someone to potentially share a hotel and whatnot with I would definitely be up for it to save some money!  Please send me a PM if you are possibly interested!
