Title: Is dr. Bart doing only ffs
Post by: JaneD on March 29, 2013, 03:19:54 PM
Hi girls

I have been reading about dr. Bart and listening how good he is. I would like to do a few corrections on my face and he seems to be the doc who can make it happen. It's not really a standard facial feminisation surgery i guess. I am  a born female, but i do have some facial characteristic that make me look pretty masculine. Does anyone know if this can be possible? And what is the waiting time for the surgery.

Thank you
All the best

Facial feminization surgery (craniofacial) techniques can be used on any person.

For instance, rhinoplasty is the second most common cosmetic surgery for females, after liposuction.

I saw Dr Bart last month and when I came back out into the waiting area there was a very beautiful girl there whom I assumed was there with a friend. It turned out she was natal female but had had some extensive facial work done with Dr Bart.

She told me she had the privilege of being Dr Bart's last natal female patient as he told her he was now concentrating on Trans patients.
I can only think that he has so much work on he is having to cut back his workload.

But I am guessing. Send him an e-mail to check.

Hi,
I'm a natal female but have a very large, masculine jaw and am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Bart in August. So I don't think it's a problem at all if you're not actually trans (lucky for me!).
The waiting time for my consultation in Ghent was not long at all - 2-3 weeks at the most I think. He told me that surgery appointments usually need to be booked about 3 months in advance (a little more if you want to have surgery in the summer months, which are apparently very popular).
