It was -27 celcius outside, the colder day of winter so far . Ive Been scared of getting a cold , hopefully ill be okay tomorrow . It took 8h instead of 5 hour if I had done this with my car but my mother didnt want to drive ... I even had problem when I arrived at hotel with crédit card then after if It wasnt enough , the door card access werent working .
Im pissed , exhausted and finally in my chamber about to sleep for tomorrow.

Hardly any bruising at all, expect some more swelling but that's normal.
Well done and look forward to seeing your fully healed photos in the future.
Get plenty of rest - Paula's orders .... ;) ;)

My lower face started to swell a lot . Its so big haha . Upper face is Totally fine , no bruise . It is getting harder to talk due to lower face being swollen . Its however not really painful ( oxycodone ftw). Breast is the most sensitive aera I would say .
I had something took out of my nose today allowing me to breath . I am Seeing the surgeon back on saturday to remove all bandages and to do my lip augmentation
Pricing of lip augmentation : 650$ CAD

I see that you also had a BA along with the ffs and that you have only been on hormones for 4 months. How did the BA go? did you have enough breast tissue prior to surgery? and what size implants did you get?
I am also considering a BA but around here they keep warning people to not get 1 within the first 2 years of hrt. But yours already look good and quite big...

Yes i had a lot of glandary tissue after only 3 month on hormones ( breast buds are huge and areolas are quite big too ) . This is the reason why the surgeon said I can get It ( the glandary system that is mature enough ) . I didnt have much breast size , maybe A cup and he gave me 500cc sillicone implants done undermuscle . They Will keep growing and getting size naturally after

That is the general consensus. However, it is not a hard and fast set in stone requirement. I had 500 cc implants done at 6 months. I went under muscle and my areolas were large enough so that my implants could be placed through an incision in them. I was probably an A cup at the time I had mine done and I don't believe I could have gone any larger. It really is a decision that you need to make after consulting with your doctors and therapist. Everyone of my people were ok with giving the go ahead on my surgery. The only issue I'm concerned with now is uneven development. In two years I can reevaluate what my appearance is and if I need any additional modifications.

Today update:
i got a lot of swelling on my chin / jaw. My face look like double its size . It is hard to talk/eat because i have hard time opening the mouth.
I got some bruising under the eyes due to nose. Omg i already can see that this nose will be perfect.. im so happy.
Breast hurt.. this is the most painful procedure i had to be honest.
i just measured them . i am now 39.5 bust , 31.5 underbust wich makes me something like 36C or D

Quote from: archlord on February 17, 2016, 12:42:19 PMBA was very painful for me too; I had 500cc silicone implants placed under the muscle through armpit incisions. And I am a 36D. Does Dr. Bensimon have you doing breast massages? Dr. Chettawut did my BA, and he had me doing breast massages 3 times a day for a few months to prevent capsular contracture.

Yes i need to do massage but It is to early . I checked them and had to remove bandage on breast / (RIP) Adam apple. My breast are getting less swelling and are getting Closer . They look great and scar are very minimal . Im happy :)
I am Seeing Bensimon saturday to remove last bandages on nose and chin . He Will give me explaination for after care ( breast massage and oil , etc) and he Will perform lip augmentation and a little lift with botox on my right eyebrow/eyelid to make It even with left side
Getting those surgeries were Scary but im so happy , best decision of my Life

Good Morning Archlord.
All I can say is "Hot - Hot - Hot" ... ;)
Seriously though, the difference between your original appearance and how you look now is "World's Apart".
I see genetic women who need nose jobs and wonder why they don't because their looks would be transformed as well.
Dr Bensimon knows his craft that's for sure.
You were fortunate you didn't need any forehead work, does he do this procedure?
Finally your lip work is 'How it should be done' not like the work that was done on me when I had my FFS.
See my thread: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,200643.0.html
Well done again and happy healing.
Hugs
Paula

Yes dr. Bensimon is doing forehead type 1-2-3 too . He Just said that the difference would be to minor and doesnt worth the permanent scar from ear to ear .
I feel so great, all complexes from teenager's years gone with a surgery . I am me :)

Really stunning results, Archlord.
How are you finding recovery? If I may ask, have you reported any numbing in any of the targeted areas? I'm trying to brace myself for what I might realistically expect.
Edit: you might have already covered it in your other posts, but how did you know that art. Bensimon was the right one for you? After your results I have him in my top list :)

Oh im still feeling numbing in my chin wich is totally normal. I had a wide incision inside my mouth to give access to it. It is getting better and having numbing usually means you havent lost your sensibility or that you arent paralyzed. He said he went extremely close to the nerves. It should be back to normal (swelling and numbing) in the next 2-3 month.
I went with bensimon because when i went in consultation with him he was very honest with acchievable result and did not try to sell me a dream. He also refused to do some procedures to me saying that it did not worth it. I appreciated that, it means that he knows what makes a face feminine and he is not here to run away with your money. I also went with him because he is in same country as i am ( canada) , i saved a lot of travel cost and for me it really is not affordable to go with a surgeon that use USD currency. The CAD/USD ratio is a total ripoff at the moment. like 25000 would have been 34000 ... ridiculous

Yes i am massaging since about 3 day . It is getting tender and more flexible each day . For sensitivity ... Well I wish I had lost some haha but it isnt the case. They are so sensible and it almost hurt when I play with nipples :p

Great! I heard from someone that with implants you would lose sensitivity, and I can't have any of that!
I'm sure it would be at the right sensitivity point one your breasts reach their maturation point.

I think the method of implant makes some difference, as does the size of the implant and the amount of stretching that occurs. Implants through the areolas has a little larger chance of loss of feeling. If there is a loss of feeling it usually returns in 3-6 months, some take a year and in a few cases 2 years. Very rarely is the loss permanent.

Archlord, just wanted to drop by and say congrats!! Wow, you look absolutely amazing :)
I'm a little jealous (haha), but mostly so happy for you - I know you'd been counting down the moments to FFS for some time!! :)
PS. I'm seriously considering a trach shave. Ideally I'd like other procedures but that's simply out of reach financially. Did the trach shave affect your voice in any way? I've worked on my voice for many, many months and fear losing it.

Archlord, it's great that it didn't change! I've heard from some women on ->-bleeped-<- that a trach shave altered their voice for the worse. If it didn't change, it means you still have latitude to work on your voice and feminize it :)

Funnily enough my tracheal shave in 1989 seemed to improve my voice by softening it a little bit.
BUT because of this, people sometimes find it hard to hear what I say and when I raise my voice, it deepens so I will be having Vocal Chord Surgery at Yeson some time next year as my voice is deteriorating especially when I am very tired.

Hi, I know that this thread has not been posted on for a while, but how is your recovery going, and what are your up to the minute thoughts on what has been done? I'm thinking about travelling from the UK to see Dr Bensimon. I need a Rhinoplasty, and a few little touch ups to my chin and lips to be finished. I believe that Dr Bensimon may be the right surgeon to do this. I would like to get your up to the minute feedback. Thank you in advance.

Hi, i am still pleased with the results. I am close to be 3 month post surgeries now. Everything is healing quite well and i had no complication at all. No nerves were damaged and i dont have any more pains. Scars are starting to get clearer and matching my skin. I would still recommend him anytime he deserve his reputation.

I thought I'd pop in here since I missed this thread earlier. Just posted my own story also about my FFS with Dr. Bensimon last year May 13th in order to mark the anniversary. I didn't have anywhere near as much done on me as you so it's interesting to see so much more of his skill illustrated by your own experience with him. Definitely agree that he has a masterful sense of how to maintain a natural-looking face. In my case I felt it was more important to still be recognizable as "Me" than to go overboard, and Dr. Bensimon was quite sensible and practical in his recommendations on what to do and what to leave out.
