has anyone on here had FFS with chettawut or know anyone else who has and can offer me any feedback or advice

Lol anyone

Mixed reviews, I think it's Dr Z who says that he's had to fix a lot of his patients foreheads.

would dr maggio be a better bet , what ive read looks good but there isnt enough before and after pictures on his website for my liking and the results seem so subtle and i want agressive nosework

Dr Di Maggio is a good choice see the yahoo FFS group for pics. However, the nose is a different thing all together. It is a specialist area which requires skills that not all ffs surgeons have. Dr Spiegel produces some very nice noses and is also an ffs surgeon. However, you should consider having a rhinoplasty with a specialist such as Dr Rizk & Dr Richard Davis. Then getting your ffs work. A good rhinoplasty can have a great feminising effect. Though, remember even in the best hands about 10% will require revision. If you really can't do them separate then Di Maggio has some very nice and aggressive results. Dr O's noses often look the same to me - upturned piggy (not a good look)!

Well, and then Dr. Z seems to have a "I know what's best" kind of thing going. Not everyone of his patients is happy having got that "Dr. Z treatment"...
If surgeons get too good a reputation some start get a "God complex" it's only human. See what happens to other celebrities...

Only food for thought,

Yea I don't like piggy noses :p and dr O prices are insane anyway lol so he not an option for me , I'd prefer to get my nose done at the same time as I've already had one nosejob but it didn't do enough , I guess if whoever I pick doesn't give a optimal result with my nose , I can go get a revision elsewhere lol , and if that didn't work out exactly how I wanted I'd probably just leave it be LOL more than 3 nosejobs would be way too much hahahha

Unless you want to test M. Jackson's nose job doctor(s)...

No need to elaborate on that then, or?

Her nose looks like it has caved in though, it only has like, two dimensions. When your nose needs to be rebuilt with grafts, that's when things start to get really tricky.

Oh, I do agree. It sooo looks and says "nose job"! Some folks like that very idea... not me, I have to admit.

What I can say about Dr. Chettawut is that he's not in it for the money. When I sent him my pics for a consultation, he turned me away and said he doesn't see where he can make an improvement. He thought I looked female enough.

I am SRS patient of Dr Chettawut and I can only say that he is the best doctor I have ever met in my life. I saw many FFS patients there and they were all happy with the results.

I am Dr Z girl and I can only say that the man is an artist and very knowledgeable doctor. If you decide to go with him be ready to LONG recovery and ugly results after the surgery. He is very aggressive and your face will need time to heal. I personally have never met somebody unhappy with Dr Z in the end. I decided to proceed with Dr Z after seeing more then 20 FFS doctors. In my opinion he was the best for my case and everything turned out as he said.

Hi ,

I found this page , I don't know what to think , but I believe it is good to read those reviews too

http://chettawutwarning.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/dr-chettawut-tulayaphanich-thailand-ruined-my-face-after-ffs-facial-feminization-surgery/ (http://chettawutwarning.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/dr-chettawut-tulayaphanich-thailand-ruined-my-face-after-ffs-facial-feminization-surgery/)

wow,
as dr ch. patient, i can only say that i am 100% happy. The other patients i saw there were also happy. All those comments made me have a second thought...

I agree with Swan. I am 100% satisfied with my result so far. I had my SRS recently.

I was seriously considering FFS and BA with Dr Chettawut until now....then I found this?

https://chettawutwarning.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/dr-chettawut-tulayaphanich-thailand-ruined-my-face-after-ffs-facial-feminization-surgery/

I've ignored the post from whoever had posted the article and focused on the comments section. Wow...there appear to be many upset patients...

Dr. Chettawut did my GRS and also an SMAS facelift.  I'm completely happy with the results.  He was very conscientious, kind, and careful at every step.  After care was excellent, too.  I can't speak to his overall FFS skill, but I can't see where he would be less competent.  I had FFS done by Facial Team in Marbella, Spain, and highly recommend them. 

There are a lot factors that go into choosing an FFS surgeon.  The one factor that drove my decision was how the surgeon did forehead recontouring.  I was skeptical of surgeons who used burring and filling to recontour the forehead, and particularly Dr. Z who does it endoscopically.  That's because the thickness of the bone over the frontal sinus limits the amount of burring that can be safely done with the result often being less than ideal.  I wanted forehead reconstruction osteotomy.   That meant choosing from Ousterhout, Spiegel, De Maggio, or Facial Team.  It didn't consider any surgeons in Thailand.  Facial Team did a great job and at a substantially lower price than either Ousterhout or Spiegel. 

I went to Dr. Chettawut in 2011; he did a lip lift (it looked really good, but not so much right now, because I am swollen from fat transfer to my upper lip 3 months ago, and it looks longer right now), tracheal shave, BA, and lipo to my abdomen and flanks. I am happy with everything, but it was all soft tissue work.

OMG this is funny. In fact he was borderline to turn me down too when I was an insisting to have a 'porn actress vagina' and it needs to be 100% passable. He told me he can't guaranty me that and he told me search for another surgeon but it's me who insisted.

Now I am about to FFS, I am hesitating between him and Cardenas.

Thanks for all your replies girlies. I am only having jaw/chin and a breast augmentation. Glad to know that people here were happy with his results. Dr Chettawut performs pretty good jaw/chin surgery - I am looking for a surgeon who isn't afraid to go aggressive - however I am concerned about all the loose skin I'll have if my jaw ends up being too slim. Can anyone comment on their results please?

I had chin work done along with my FFS, at the same time a neck lift and lower face lift was done.  You could ask Dr Chettawut is he ever does them along with jaw/chin work.

Meu sonho era ter feito frontoplastia com Dr. Chettawut. Resultados incríveis. Fiz na Argentina e não fiquei completamente satisfeita.

Hi Clara,

As I am approaching my date with Facial Team this coming April, I am getting excited but nervous at the same time.

See: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,199847.0.html

None of this surgery gets easier as one gets older ( well in my case anyway .. LOL  ;D ).

I am glad that you are happy with your FT result and that gives me great confidence along with all the others girls who I have actually met who have had FFS with them since I began my research ...  :)

Hey, you look great ...  8)

See my post #4 on this thread of mine and burring certainly failed spectacularly in my case .. :(

Anyway hope all is going well for you.

Hi girls

I feel very prudent or even suspicious to whoever builds a complete web site and supports all costs of it with the aim of destroying a person's reputation ... who would do that here when she's not happy with the results of a given surgery ? Very strange, really ...

My 2 cents

I've seen that page before it was taken down. Most pics were stolen from other sites about PS/FFS and none had something to do with dr Chettawut.
Probably a disgruntled patient for whatever reason. Very nasty to do such a thing.

Chettawut has little effect on your site. But all I saw were incredible results. To frontoplasty I consider one of the best in the world.

Hi, i wanna look like you

Where did you get your FFS done. This is the first time I've heard of a frontoplasty? I was going to go for jawline/chin, and possibly also rhinoplasty and may not consider this frontoplasty.

Your face looks awesome, quite intrigued as to what you had done if yu dont mind me asking?

I began the use of hormones later, at age 22. Always had big forehead. family heirlooms. I made my FFS at one stage I had low self esteem, overweight (the diet really helped me to accept). I just frontoplasty and a correction in the nose, to let more straight. I had little orbital bone, what bothered me was the same size of the forehead, which needed a good head scalp / advance. I made my choice for the cost X benefit. I not had much luck in the scar and small asymmetry, but nothing is perfect. Chettawut is good, but would double the price, and found few results, which eventually leave me in doubt. The few results that have him consider wonderful. I live in Brazil. I'm using google translator. Thank you for your praise, your kindness. We always expect too much and demands a perfection that does not exist. Kisses and thank you.
