Hi all! I just picked a date for ffs with Facial Team. I already know that I'll want a second round, for things like face/neck lift, and maybe blepharoplasty.
So first, is there any reason not just to go to a local, non-ffs plastic surgeon for work like this?
And second, who's the best (in the ffs world) at this type of work?

I'm of the opinion that we go to FFS surgeons for FFS, and to BBL surgeons for BBL, and likewise to the specialists in face lifts for face lifts and so on.

I was happy getting it all done at once at the Preecha Aesthetic Institute, look at my picture and remember that I am 45 years old, most people who see me or my picture now believe I'm in my late twenties early thirties. So don't exclude a surgeon just because they do FFS.

If you are going to have a facelift after FFS, I would say it makes sense to keep using the same surgeon or the facelift specialist in their team as long as you are happy with the first set of surgeries and there isn't a big difference in price. If somebody just wants to get a facelift alone, I think it makes no sense to use an FFS specialist.
I still don't need a facelift because of my age, but when the time of needing one comes, I am sure that I will use the same surgeon who did my FFS, because I am very happy with the results, and he already knows what's underneath the skin and he has a soft tissue specialist in his team.
Something very important, generally speaking a facelift done before FFS would be a waste of money, no matter the kind of surgeon. This is something that an FFS specialist will tell you, while a regular cosmetic surgeon won't.
