Title: Vaginoplasty and FFS on the same day?
Post by: mistyjensen on September 14, 2016, 12:32:09 PM
Hello,

Do some women have their vaginoplasty and facial feminization surgeries performed on the same day? I read that some surgeons give patients the option to have breast augmentation on the same day as their vaginoplasty.

Some do, but might want to think about doing BA at the same time as GCS. Some people make it ok, but some will have a hard time since they will need to use their hands and reach somewhere down there for regular maintenance that might not be as easy if your chest/arm hurts from BA procedure to begin with.

Hi, Thank you for the helpful insight. Just curious - What does the acronym "BA" stand for?

BA = breast augmentation.  :) 

Here's an interesting thread for you: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,204651.0.html

I am having a ba and GCS at the same time in November. My Doctor is McGinn.

Another woman recommended it because the pain medication for GCS is much better than for a ba. i think Warlocmaker had ffs and GCS at the same time and has a great thread on her experience.
