Title: FFS with Dr Bensimon (Montreal)
Post by: Alex159 on January 19, 2016, 06:08:01 AM
Hi, I'm considering having FFS with Dr Bensimon in Montreal but I can't find much about him on the web other than he's website, http://www.facial-feminization-surgery.com/. Does anyone has any experience or comments about him?

Thanks

I'm booked to have FFS with Dr. Bensimon this April. He instills confidence and doesn't try to push you into surgeries he doesn't think you need. I found that very refreshing. Also, I was surprised that the recovery times he told me were much shorter than I had expected.

Did you call directly at the office? they awnser quite fast even by email .   The first time i sent a email using the contact info on website i didnt get an awnser but from call, it was instant.

I heard that after surgery, he gives his cellphone number so you can send him SMS if you have worries/concern.

7 day left before my surgery with him  :icon_joy:

I've called a few times, and each time I do that's when I get a reply. I've contacted other surgeons, and always get a reply within the next day. He's the only ffs surgeon that's reasonably close to me so hopfully you have a good experience with him. :)

I'd prefer to get it done in the States but with the disappointing Canadian dollar that's just an extra cost to an already expensive surgery.

Btw you're already so pretty!!! :) I can only imagine how great you're going to look after surgery.

Hopefully your surgery goes well! Looking forward to reading your updates. :D
