Title: Partial FFS and SRS at same time?
Post by: Inanna on August 04, 2009, 07:44:43 PM
Dr. Suporn offers both FFS and SRS.  On his site, it said that one can have 3 (I think) Ffs procedures done at the same time as Srs. 

Seeing as I only want 3 procedures anyways (nose, eyebrow ridge, adam's apple), I thought I should look into this.  It would end up saving me thousands of dollars by getting them done at the same time, and I'd only have 1 healing period, albeit long, instead of 2.

To those who have had either surgeries, both, or just know someone that did... how bad of an idea is this?  I can deal with pain so I'm not too worried about that.  But does the healing take longer as the body only has so many resources? 

Thanks!

YMMV (your mileage may vary), but tracheal shave doesn't count as anything.
It's 1/2 an hour on the table and you get a piece of tape over the incision.
Yes, it will get swollen and a little bit sore afterwards but you will hardly remember you had it done.

I have been considering Thai TS Clinic for both SRS and FFS but have had so far no luck finding anyone who has been there.  Now finally I have found the above post, and I want to ask member jeandean for more information, but cannot PM her as I cannot view profiles. 

When I click a member name, all I ever get is a page with an error message, which states something like "we apologize, but you cannot view just any profile".  This is a ridiculous error; I am trying to open one specific profile.  I am a member of this board.  I don't understand why I cannot view anyone's profile.  Can anyone help?

To Janet Lynn:

Thanks very much for your PM.  Unfortunately I cannot reply to it because I am not allowed to.  Also I cannot read any email addresses as I am not allowed to view any profiles.  This is very frustrating.

If you could get that email for me I would be very grateful, and send it to me at -  rob.erta.polaris9@xoxy.net
(this is a temporary forwarding email which will only work for a short time, so is safe from spammers)

I made enquiries at the clinic and like Roberta they were unable to send me any references. However they did send me a power point presentation showing some of their recent work using the scrotal skin flap technique. I will be willing to forward that to anybody who is interested. Although they look fairly good I am reticent to go with them without speaking to former patients. Another point and this is a secondary one, It would be awfully lonely being with them for 4 weeks if there were no other English speaking patients there
