Well, I've been lurking in this forum for a few years getting advice, so I guess it's time to share my own.
There's a lot of FFS recommendations here and other places. However, I decided to first look in the southeast US area just in case there was an opportunity to do a few procedures for less cost. While looking, I came across Dr. Carson Huynh (Atlanta Surgical Arts) who specializes in Asian face contouring. After I contacted him, I found out that he does trans ffs and had trained under Caitlyn Jenner's doctor.
So, last December, I took the plunge and got cheek implants, forehead contouring, browline contouring, chin/jaw contouring, and lip injections. His staff was very friendly & pro-LGBT, the experience was "no pressure" when it came to the money aspect, and the experience with working with the doctor was great when it came to determining what I wanted to look like, drastic versus natural, and so forth. I also liked how I didn't have to fly for surgery, and the surgeon was a phonecall/drive away if there were any post-surgery complications (there weren't any complications).
I feel like most trans-specializing doctor's charge a premium for procedures whereas Dr. Huynh's prices were much more in line with what a cis-person would pay for the same procedure. So, by staying local and not having the travel costs and going with a surgeon that offers reasonable (cis? lol) pricing, I saved quite a bit that will go towards my SRS/therapy/electrolysis costs.
Anyways, I'm open to any questions, and if anyone else decides to check Dr. Huynh out, feel free to contact me and I can tell you which hotel I stayed at after surgery, etc.
