so i'm panning on having FFS later this year. my top 4 picks were
1. DiMaggio
2. t-change
3. femilife
4. Cardenas
my main concern is my forehead so i think DiMaggio would be the best choice since femilife and Cardenas are not known for aggressive forehead work. i emailed t-change thinking DiMaggio was still working with them but when they replied to me i found out they have a new surgeon (Dr Javier Rossi) I've looked at the before and afters they have on the website but i don't think they're the greatest, the price is very affordable though. this is what i got from them:
"Medical package for facial feminization surgery
•Forehead reconstruction with setback of the anterior wall of the frontal sinuses and orbital rims reshaping.
•Hairline correction – up to 2 cm advance or corners smoothing out (*)
•Brow lift (to make them match the new forehead shape) (*)
•Chin reduction in width, height and projection
•Jaw feminization (tapering of the ridges that run along the bottom edges of the jaw on both sides, to make them match the chin reduction)
•Medical
fees and costs including general anesthesia and 1 night hospitalization •Bedside interpreters in the hospital to better communicate with the nurses.
•All medical appointments and checkups.
•Pre surgical tests and x-rays
•Standard post-op medication
•Bilingual assistant + transportation for your arrival/departure and every medical event
•Free cellphone for you to be in contact with us 24/7
TOTAL: USD 12,000 //// Promotional price with 15% discount for Dr. Rossi's launch, if the surgeries are confirmed before July 31, 2014 (even if they are scheduled for later than this period): USD 10,200
•The price of the package doesn't change if the patient and/or the doctor decide to subtract the procedures marked with an asterisk (*)"
my question is, has anyone been to Dr Javier Rossi recently? and how was your experience?
Thanks for the heads up on this new doctor. I just checked out the T-change website and must say I like his results very much, especially if you consider the price they gave you. I will ask them for a quote myself. I got a quote from them a couple of years ago when Di Maggio was still there, but now they seem to be much more affordable. Good!

yah i just wish they had more results posted on their website, i'm very tempted to go to them. DiMaggio quoted me the same procedures above + a nose-job for $18k. the difference is quite big.
hey jen,
i am in the same position as you my choices are between dr Rossi or Femilife, i will only do forehead and nose but i am leaning towards femilife just because i saw more results from them.I like dr Dimaggio foreheads but i dont like they way he is so conservative with the hairlines that is why i decided againt him because i need some hairline lowering.So i also would like to hear about anyone that has been to Dr Rossi before.

It's always the same old story, I guess. If they had more pictures to show, prices wouldn't be this low. And as soon as this surgeon becomes more popular, prices will likely go up. I got a quote from T-change back in 2009 when Di Maggio wasn't still as known as he is now. It was 13K for the full FFS. By the time I managed to save the funds in 2012, they gave me an "updated" quote for the same set of procedures, which resulted in 18K. After that I had some financial issues, had to spend my savings on other stuff, and FFS keeps eluding me.

i wanted to go femilife too, but i think they're very conservative with foreheads and I've also read a couple horror stories about them recently here on Susan's. i really like DiMaggio's foreheads so i will end up going to him most likely. Dr Rossi's results are not bad, but they seem very conservative to me, specially the foreheads.

you are right, in a couple years he's probably gonna have the same prices as DiMaggio. but i don't wanna chance it.
I know Dr. Rossi is new, but with his inaugural prices, he is the only FFS doctor I can afford. I suspect the previous T-Change doctor left for another similar organization...perhaps to increase his fees, but I'm not sure. Nonetheless, I was thoroughly impressed with Amanda's incredible detailed & prompt information and explanation of options.
I had FFS in 2001 with Dr. Suporn. At the time, Dr. Suporn didn't do Type-3 forehead work. As a result, the sinus bones still protrude while the outer brow bones are shaved down. Looks rather weird, and I've been hiding it with thick glasses ever since. Dr. Suporn also did work on my jaw, chin, upper lip, nose, baggy eyes and adams apple. For me, it just didn't do the trick.
Dr. Rossi will be doing quite a bit of revisionary work. I will update all related message boards with results, to include before and after pics.

im sorry you didn't like the results you got from Suporn, im not a big fan of what I've seen from his ffs results. Dr Rossi's prices are great, when are you going to see him?
T-Change seems to have excellent results, very natural and feminine.

I just got my quote from Amanda and it's very very tempting, it's consistent with what jenn90210 posted. I am sooo looking forward to seeing your before and after pics. Thanks for wanting to share them!...Dr. Rossi is my first option now too.
WOW, 12k dollars for all of that? That's an unbelievable price... I'm really curious if anyone proceeds with them to read their story! Good luck!
hello, i think this video is of new doctor of t-change Dr. Rossi

amazing, i am decide too go t-change 4 my surgery, but maybe in 20 july or more late
Someone just recently reported MAJOR serious issues having surgery with Femilife... they used cheek implants that were not cheek implants at all but were silicone padding cut out with scissors and were not secured to the bone, they were free floating. Also issues with rhinoplasty and a few other things. She had to see another surgeon to fix these issues and it ended up being an 8 hour surgery! I noticed they were on the list... Just a heads up!
I also decided too go with T eh-change and Doc Rossi.
anyone know if it is reliable and Amanda T-change? these international payments do not give me great confidence, I would like to pay the remaining money to arrive. It's what worries me.
My initial $2k down payment (to lock in T-Change surgery date of July 2nd) and my $10k wire transfer 1-month prior went through without any issues. The payments are actually made to a U.S. credit union tied to Dr. Rossi. Don't forget to get your Passport and pay your Argentina entry tax of $160 (and bring the barcoded receipt).
Good luck with that! Please advise how it goes, I'll be lurking around, as I am considering going to himself too. The results look good (but they are very few), thought all the comments, replies I've had and so on and so forth are quite positive.

Hi daaxt. Can you tell me if you have had your FFS revisionary work done by Javier Rossi yet? If yes, how did it go?............Sorry, I should have read all the other posts before I put this one up. So you are going on July the 2nd, I hope everything goes well for you. Please keep us all posted as soon as you have recovered enough. I would very much like to get my surgery booked asap, so as soon as you let us all know how it went, then I might be off to Argentina.

Just returned from Argentina and FFS with Dr. Rossi.
Amanda and Dr. Rossi make a wonderful team, and so far, I am very pleased with the results. I had Type-3 forehead reconstruction, a slight lip lift, a little more chin removed - to make it a bit more pointy, and a face & neck lift. I'll try to figure out how to upload some before & after pics, although I told Amanda she could include the ones she took on the T-Change website (I'll be the one with a blue bandana). The chin is very numb and is still swollen after 3-weeks, but everything else is good to go. As soon as I got home, I bought some Bromalain tablets and Arnic gel to attack the remaining bruises under my eye. I probably have a couple more days left on the bruising.
There were other T-Change patients in the same apartment building, and this REALLY was great for morale (Brieanna, Kristen & Sahra). We all got together every day, and this really helped with the home sickness. The steak in Argentina is awesome and comparatively cheap. But everything else tasted bland or weird (which may have been partly due to the stitches in the mouth). Shortly after returning home, I stuffed myself with all the wonderfully fattening, over-processed, high-sodium food I had been craving in Argentina.
Our apartment was near Florida Avenue, and you could spend all day just walking up & down this street, checking out all the little shops along the way. If you don't speak Spanish (like me), you NEED TO GET the Google Translate App. It even works when not connected to Wifi.
Chow,
Diane

Hi
We've talked before via Yahoo ffs-support group. I closely followed your blog before I went to Buenos Aires to have FFS with Dr Rossi in Sept, 2015. I noticed the other day you had recently updated pics on your blog, you look great.
You still thinking about getting hair transplants?
Thanks deeiche,
I hope things went well and you are pleased with the outcome.
I'd like to but hair transplants just aren't affordable for me in Canada. I would save a few thousand dollars going back to Buenos Aires but the travel expenses are much more than the actual hair transplants.
Arielle
Hi Diana I've just sent you a PM, but anyway, I've got time on my hands at the moment so I thought that I'd write on here as well. I'm back in Buenos Aires for my revision surgery with Dr Rossi. The surgery is tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it, but scared beyond that which I usually am. I know that Dr Rossi and his team will do a fantastic job, and Amanda has pulled out all the stops to make my trip go smoothly, as she always does.
When the time is right I will post some more photo's, if any body requests me to, but for now my Avatar picture will have to do.
Regarding another thread that has been locked for now, getting a CT Scan before, and then again after surgery, is by far the best way to see what has actually been done by the surgeon.
For sure, with that kind of evidence in my hands before and after my first surgery in Mexico, I could have shown everyone why it's not a good idea to consider having FFS with this particular surgeon. That and the "FACT" that he is not even a qualified Maxillo Craniofacial surgeon, so he shouldn't even be working on your skull. THAT IS A FACT.

I am very happy with the results, it did take several months before I really started to see the overall improvement to my face. The extensive Type III FFS was obvious from the beginning, but it's taken awhile to see the success in the soft tissue work. My new hairline is now very apparent, but I understand it can be a full 12 months to finally judge the hair transplant work.
The only issue I have is I don't think the upper lip lift was not aggressive enough, however I can live with that.

I found it took a while for the swelling to fully disappear especially on my chin and neck. I'm still seeing slight changes as the months go by. I also hope that over time the effects of HRT on my face will soften my features some more too. I am grateful for what I already have though.

You too huh? Same thing happened with me, although I have some big front teeth haha I'm getting getting a secondary lip lift as part of my revision. Maybe he'll do that for you if you ever go back for a breast aug replacement? You should go back early August so we can hang out together :) My revision surgery is scheduled for August 10th (but maybe moved up to the 3rd).

Arrrgh, I just reread my comment. Damn, I hate it when I write double negatives, good thing you understood what I meant. :)
Dunno when I'll be returning. As my parents get older I need to spend more time with them. My time line on new breast implants is some time before I retire, which is 3 years away.
However when I get BA work done I do want to have the upper lip lift corrected, along with some more fat transfer to my cheeks. I figure if I'm laid up from one surgery I might as well use the time off for everything.

Thanks you two - this is good to know! So I will just tell Dr. Rossi when I go in 3 weeks to fully remove my upper lip when I go and splitting the difference, it should turn out just fine! ::)
Dr. Rossi does fantastic forehead work and his rhinoplasties also seem great and as my prime areas of concern, I'm glad he does these well. Thanks for your posts.
Rebecca
firestarter, deeiche, ruby eliza, rebeccaM.
I wanted to PM you all but I don't think I have enough posts, Dr Rossi is on my shortlist but the main reason for that is affordability due to the breakup of my loved one and the financial burden that has placed on us.
But price alone should not be the reason, I know a few of you have gone back or are going back for revisions which would simply not be an option for me. Facial team look like they might be out of my price range, dr supporn was way out of my price range and well into a year on their booking schedule.
I don't know what to do, there is not really a specifically qualified doctor in Australia short of our cranio facial unit but this would not be their specialty by a long shot which worries me about going that route (and again I suspect the prohibitive cost of our own surgeons...l would be up to $2000 AUS just for consults with all the doctors involved before I even start or commit to anything)
Would you trust dr Rossi again if you were given that second chance? That would be the big question
Any help or guidance or recommendations would be much appreciated.
Ta
Dami
Hi Dami,
Your question has that caveat on revisions which makes it more difficult to answer. No one can guarantee you won't want revisions. Even Dr. Ousterhout had to do revisions sometimes. My opinion is complicated. Dr. Rossi is really, really aggressive for foreheads and chins (not so much with jaw corners). I don't think anybody other than DiMaggio or Ousterhout/Dechamps-Braly could have changed my forehead this much. I have lost almost no feeling anywhere, he's amazing with that. But I've heard a few girls have problems with the brow lifts when he does coronal incisions. Overall, I would probably do it again yes. I don't blame him for my revisions and most people say I look great.
If you need hair transplants, that should clinch the deal. There is no place I've heard of where you can get transplants as good and for as an amazing price as I got.
But if you want guarantees of no revisions, I don't think any surgeon in the world can promise that. In fact, when you do your Skype consultation with Dr. Rossi, which is free I believe, ask him about complications and revisions. Ask Amanda too, she's very knowledgeable and honest.
Feel free to PM if you have more questions.
The only thing I wish is I had more money haha because I live in San Francisco and wanted to get it done here with Dr. Descamps-Braly. For what I paid though, for both surgeries (already paid for my upcoming BA/fat transfers to face, hospital fees for revisions), couldn't be happier.
If the revisions don't go as hoped, I'll say so here on my thread. Should be interesting. I'll finally get to explore more of Buenos Aires too.
-Ruby
Hi Dami
Since you referred to me directly I assume you've read my Sept 16 thread.
I am happy with my results, the forehead bone work was very aggressive, you can see that in the Xrays I posted in my thread. I also had a LOT of soft tissue work done, the only obvious revision is my upper lift lip. I don't really see in benefit from the upper lip lift done by Dr Rossi. To be fair I have not contacted Amanda about that, because all things considered everything else meets or exceeds my expectations. As Ruby stated hair transplants are a great deal in BA.
Would I go back to Dr Rossi? Yes I would. Will I go back? I don't know, a lip lift revision is not enough work to justify a trip to BA. I may get my breast implants replaced by Dr Rossi, they are over 30 years old, if my insurance won't cover their replacement.
I have no problem recommending Dr Rossi to anyone.
I had previous FFS with Dr Ousterhout in 2004. I wasn't happy with the results, I have no sinus cavity so he could only shave the orbital rim and this wasn't good at all, I could barely notice any change plus I was left with major scar tissue on my brow area and asymmetry. Most people in the trans community believe he's a genius, my experience with him was very disappointing and cost me a lot of money for so little.
I had revisions with Dr Zukowski but here again although it looked a little better it wasn't as great as I has expected. On the other hand I had liposuction with him and he's the best there is for that, very aggressive, my body looked like Kloe Kardashian right now, that lasted 2 years only unfortunately, blame it on depression, androcur and having SRS, I started gaining weight again. Extremely happy by the way with SRS done by Dr Suporn.
Then in 2015 I had a free consultation with Dr Di Maggio. He and his wife were awful, he basically thought with no sinus cavity he doesn't want to do anything, he said I looked like a sophisticated transsexual, ok I showed up wearing Saint Laurent dress and a Celine handbag, and his wife told me after I begged for revision that I needed psychologist not a surgeon!
These people don't deserve getting our money. I heard more stories on Di Maggio afterwards, from Amanda who used to work for him but works for Dr Rossi now. She told me Di Maggio and his wife only like and respect trans girls who look good, they hate the others.
So this was it, I had been turned down by Di Maggio. I still wanted to do something and found out there was another ffs surgeon in Buenos Aires. In the mean time I had a consultation with Dr Lee Harisson who did Caitlyn Jenner, he thought my forehead was fine I just needed to have a facelift and a nose job. He isn't a forehead expert so I didn't really care...
I contacted Dr Rossi and his assistant Amanda. Long story short they thought I could really do something. I had surgery last year, we did X Rays 2 days before surgery which concerned me a little. He looked at it and was positive there was something he could do.
All in all, I'm happy with the results considering again I have no sinus cavity. The sides are so much softer than before, the results when it comes to my profile or at an angle are dramatic, very feminine. It's less dramatic from frontal position but it's still better than before.
Overall I'm very happy, Dr Rossi did a good job with my case.
On the negatives, I had liposuction revision while at it. This was like nothing was done. He isn't a liposuction surgeon, I wasted money here with him. If you want great liposuction, go to Dr Zukowski!
The Buenos Aires experience... Amanda is a sweet girl but we didn't connect, she doesn't understand straight trans girls... oh well! I hated the area we are supposed to rent. It's not great, a little depressing. About the hospital now, my issue with these people these don't tell you anything. My surgery was scheduled at 3pm, which I thought was odd but this is a Spanish Latin country, they have dinner at 11pm at night just like in Spain. We took a taxi with no air conditioning to the hospital at 2pm, we got stuck in traffic for an hour, the hospital is located in a far unremarkable suburb, I was really wondering where the hell we are going!
Eventually the hospital was ok, the reason why Dr Rossi is cheaper is because of the hospital which isn't state of the art but again fine.
You have to put everything in perspective sometimes, perhaps the stay in Argentina wasn't like staying at a 5 star hotel in New York or Paris but in the end out of all the surgeons who operated on me and those I had consultation with, Dr Rossi did the best job of them all. Highly recommended for foreheads! Just don't waste your money on anything else!
Certainly Sanatorio Vicente Lopez is not to hospitals what Saint Laurent is to dresses or Celine is to handbags... ;) It rather looks like it rents the facilities on a value for the price basis.
I was considering him after all the negative stuff I was reading about MDM (which was my first choice), but since Dr Rossi was less expensive and some seemed to have great results on this forum, i contacted him instead. However the day after I contacted him he put up a before and after of a new patient who seems to look the same as before. I don't want to use this to bash anyone, but it kinda put me off from Dr Rossi. I'd love to go to MDM but i don't want to be bad mouthed in his presence in a different language or have him not perform at his full potential if he feels i'm too "mannish" to pass.\so now I'm conflicted again
Any before and after pics of the girls who had the surgery with dr. Rossi?

I do not think it is true that some patients don't get changes. I have looked around quite a bit for dr.rossis patients (some of the better results i found werent even shown on his website) and I nearly booked with him a few months ago but had to delay cause if some unrelated issues. All of his patients do have very visible changes in my opinion. If you look at the areas operated on they are clearly different but it isn't always the right kind of change and sometimes the patient looks not much more feminine than before. It is weird how the same kind of change can work great on one face while another doesn't visibly benefit. I guess identifying the right kind of procedure to do for a patient is its own skull not every surgeon has mastered yet.

I don't think looking virtually the same is necessarily the opposite to getting a great result. Big changes to features that don't need them can spoil them or turn out as overdone -which I myself don't like BTW. Changes have to be as big as needed, not always as big as possible.
Also we have to consider that not everybody has the same goals. Some may ask the surgeon for dramatic changes, some may ask for subtle ones. I asked Dr. Rossi for a big change and I got it.
Clawdeenwolf, I hadn't seen his before and afters in a while so just went to that page and must say I don't agree at all that the most recent result is not good. To me it is one of the best FFS results I've ever seen. And I can see big changes in the after.

No hun, i didn't say it wasn't a good result, I just think the patient looks the same even with the more feminine forehead, ect....btw i'm referring to the second patient now as he recently added another one.

Oh! I see.... well, to me what looks the same in the second before and after is the five o'clock shadow which is a shame because it actually spoils the FFS overall
At the same time I think it is a good thing that a surgeon doesn't sugarcoat the afters with makeup and hairstyle.... you see the result as raw as it would actually be when you wake up in the morning.

WOW, 12k dollars for all of that? That's an unbelievable price... I'm really curious if anyone proceeds with them to read their story! Good luck!
I had a FFS and BA with Dr. Rossi (by T-Change) in 2015 and I've returned in May/2017 for a lipo and an eyebrown lift retouch. I even included in the package a gallblatter extirpation (not with dr. Rossi but arranged by T-Change). I had a good experience in both times.

I'm thinking of going to T-Change for facelift, hair transplants, and BA. I went to facial team a year ago. I also asked Amanda if I could get a revision on my nose, but after viewing the CT scans they didn't want to do it. Has anyone had a face and neck lift with them, and are you happy with the results?
