Hello everyone, Im new to tihs forum and appologize if this has been already gone over though I have searched and havent found a definate answer to what Im wondering.
I noticed a few ffs sites listed in some threads but I feel I cannot trust myself to go to these people without your personal experiences and very helpful information. I am in desperate need of finding a quality ffs doctor(s), money is not an option just being able to look miraculously like a true female. I am not super masculine but not very feminine hehe, but I want to find out from you all who you think is a great FFS doctor, I found Dr. Marci to be my srs thanks to your awesome help ^^; I feel Im rambling on but I feel I trust you and Im very willing to hear your opinions on who would be a good choice. Also as I said money is no problem or distance/time either for that :P
I would be very thankful for your insight and support on this delicate topic ;)
Ah, for money to be no object!
Anyway, like SRS doctors, people tend to swear by whoever did their surgery. Still, there are a few names that seem to be universally respected.
In the US, there are:
Dr. Douglas Ousterhaut, San Francisco, CA
Dr. Mark Zukowski, Wilmette, IL
Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel, Boston, MA
Dr. Brian Orisek, San Jose, CA
Dr. Patrick Abuzeni, Newport Beach, CA
And in Thailand:
Dr. Suporn Watanyusakul
Dr. Chettawut Tulayapanich
It's a very personal choice; try to see a lot of the work of each doctor that you are considering. Some are felt to give a similar "look" to every patient, while others are noted as taking a very individualized approach.
Most importantly, consult with each and go with whomever you feel most comfortable.

Thank you for your reply ^^ I have looked at Dr. Douglas Ousterhaut, San Francisco, CA but I seen a mess up he did or at least a person claimed and it turned me away from his work. Dr. Suporn Watanyusakul and Dr. Chettawut Tulayapanich I looked into but I believe one asked for a email to be sent and have sent an email and waited so long for a reply to see results. I may resend another email. the other at Dr. Chettawut's

Was very suttle but the first photo on the left was very pleasing though the person was already feminen as I dont think Im THAT much feminen ^^; I think since I am almost 21 *In the US thats when you dont need family signatures I believe* I dont have overly much of a male complexion yet and could be easier on me compared to waiting to have FFS. Im just sooo confused at this it makes me nervous :(
If it helps any Im mainly looking into having a more slender jaw, and forehead contouring *Eyebrows, ect as well. I think my lips seem fine hehe* As said though Im willing to see mulitple surgeons if one cant preform all procedures well enough
Im sorry ahead of time if Im blabbing on or making little sense x_x Im just extremely eager to find any reccomendations and such. I heard at consultations they can show you about a percentage of what youll look like after they perform FFS on you, is this true or just some? Sorry if Im bothering anyone and yes I appologize a ton hehe ^^;
The Wiki's FFS (https://www.susans.org/wiki/Facial_feminization_surgery) page has a grouping of links which may be of use to you.
Thank you for the wiki page, I was curious about it ^^. Unfortunately some of the links at the bottom are hard to contact :-X
Im still open to take your personal opinions as well though in what surgeon you think would do best and such hehe ^^;
I would Choose Dr Suporn over Dr chettawut. I believe Dr suporn is the best with regards to SRS and FRS in thailand by far. I was lucky to observe the services and care given by Dr Suporn and his staff on several occasions and found everything to be a very happy experiance.You will have a life time warranty on his work and i am yet to hear from anyone that has had any problems with his work. As for DR chettuwat I was unhappy with my experiance with him.

I was just considering Dr Suporn for the past few days and was checking on how titanium holds in the body and doesnt oxydize*sp* I think he may be the person I might go to. Thank you for your input as well as Annie Social , and you too Kimberly for lending a helping hand in a critical life choice Im about to make ;)

So that nothing can be taken out of context I included the full statement.

This is an opinion not a fact. Best is relative to someone's individual experience.

That's good to know Leigh. That was the conclusion I had come to.

I pondered hard on how to word the information between the 2 Doctors mentioned in a descreete way and yes it is a personal opinion but is also supported by alot of fact expressed directly to me about the 2 doctors mentioned. I owned the statemant by stating that
QuoteI would Choose Dr Suporn over Dr Chettawut
I then stated why I would choose him. I thought the information was given in the fact as a personal opinion. I have edited the original post to be a little more clear with the alteration in italic and underlined

Hi Salome:
If money isn't a problem for you, Dr. Ousterhaut is one the best, if not the best, FFS surgeon in the US.
But if you want the best at a less expensive price, then your choice should be Dr. Suporn Watanyusakul in Bangkok, Thailand.
Keep us posted,
