Was thinking about where I am in life. In transition and it is going well. I cannot complain about how I feel. While I am basically in to the androgynous middle ground, I understand that this is not a standing still point.
For that, I am starting to consider my surgical interventions and will begin in earnest my interviewing of various surgeons for FFS and ultimately, my SRS. It feels like it is time to push along and not stagnate in a comfortable place. I have one huge financial commitment that is about to conclude and that will give me the funding to proceed.
I am pretty mellow in my transition. This is for the rest of my life and I am not in a huge hurry. I was thinking FFS before SRS. It is like a need now to get some of the facial disparagement taken care of.
Was wondering what the average time on HRT before seeking FFS? I can still see things changing as the fat moves about. Has anyone managed to get things covered via insurance?

Good for you Kaity! You seem to be in a good place.
I don't know of any hard evidence that says that being on HRT for any specified time is beneficial for having FFS. And while it may be preferable to have your face cleared, it isn't necessary. FFS can be done for many reasons - eliminate brow bossing, rejuvenation through face and/or neck lifts, hairline work, etc. None of this demands one achieves a certain hormonal affectation. If you're ready, go for it!
As for getting FFS covered by insurance, that depends on your insurance carrier. I know a few people who have had it covered but many more who haven't. It pays to check and it pays to be persistent if you think there may be a possibility your carrier may have their information wrong.
