FFS prices and plan

[Aurorasky]

Hey guyssss,

So the thing is while people in real life and even here tell me all the time I don't need FFS, and sometimes I feel super duper, most of the time I still feel a little dysphoric about my slight brow bossing and the large nose I have. I really wish I could save for FFS (my parents will only pay for SRS, they don't think I need it), and I would need a plan for that. How did you girls manage? I'm currently studying, so maybe I would need to work. But perhaps that would delay my education and therefore less Money in the long run, lol. This is really quite the dilema to me. An older TS woman I correspond with also told me that not only do I not need, but that every surgery has risks and I could come disfigured from it. Which is really scary lol! I need everyone's advice and guidance. I just want to feel more feminine and attractive.

I get catcalled a lot unfotunately and get told I am really pretty various times. But honestly, most of the time it feels liuke sugar coating to me. Please feel free to tell me what your opinion is with no sugar coating lol, be as blunt as you want.

What options do I have? How did you save for FFS?

I was considering exactly the same procedures and people say I don't need it too. Except my SRS surgeon who also does FFS, he pointed out those things when I asked him but said it's optional.

Looking at your pics I don't think you need it too (maybe it's more noticeable from side?)but if it gives you dysphoria it is up to you.

I was also wondering if one should get forehead and nose work together or is it ok to get them seperately. Anyway I am curious about average prices too so I'll follow this.

I financed most of my facial surgery using credit cards, and paid them down over time.

I also used credit cards & payed them down, as well as choosing Dr. Cardenas in Guadalajara.  He was a lot less than the USA ones, and just as good in my opinion.

I didn't use any credit cards. I actually saved up for all my surgeries.. ffs and srs. No one gave me money. I just worked my life away to live.

I did not use credit card as they charge insane fees - like 12 % interest or more. So for VFS I got a regular credit for 4-5% interest and paid half the surgery from savings and the other half from credit that I paid back over a year.

Of course also there are price differences when considering surgeons - I think some charge a lot more for a same quality of work, sometimes probably mainly because the hospital fees and employee wages are higher.

Of course you probably do not NEED the FFS, but if it gives you dysphoria there is not that much that can be done, right? But yes of course, any surgery has risks and negative health effects. especially nose surgery can look not favourable afterwards and some people get several of them as a result, making things works, quite often.
