I received happy news this week. I will be getting my FFS performed on June 16 at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. It will be performed by two surgeons, Dr. Rachel Bluebond-Langner and Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez. I've met Dr. B-L twice for consults and feel really positive about her - she has been candid with me at every step of the way. She is not a fan of scalp advancement, and recommended that I get a hair transplant instead (which I have). She directed me to another surgeon (Dr. Ira Papel) for my rhinoplasty because she said he was the best (had that done, too).
This still leaves ten separate procedures I'm getting done, so I'm glad there will be another surgeon participating. I hadn't heard of Dr. Rodriguez previously, but he is actually the Chair of the Dept. of Plastic Surgery. He also performed the world's most extensive face transplant last year. I'll be meeting him for a consult for the first time in a few weeks.
I am so looking forward to this. I have chosen to transition to 24/7 as well as legally after FFS, so I've definitely invested this event with a lot of importance. Will update this thread as events unfold if people are interested.
