Were there any red flags besides the social security number issue? I'm a year or two away from FFS, but I want to be ready and prepared with a plan. The prices seem great there and same with the results, but that makes me wonder if it's too good to be true. I'll definitely be here to see how everyone's work goes!

Honestly? No.  that's what made that whole thing sit so uncomfortably for me...  Everything was fine, our communication was good, she was refunding me my money...... then that whole thing.

I never had a bad feeling about Nikky, or Femilife.  I just posted that story as a caution.  It didn't effect me, but I certainly wonder what would have happened if I did give her my Social security number.  Oh well, nothing happened, and I'm still in the 90th percentile of being sure I'll go there when I'm ready.

Mkay, just thought I'd check. It'll definitely be on my list of possibilities in the future.

What happened with the girl who went to Peru for FFS on the 5th of August? Anybody know?

No, haven't heard...... but am interested....  My original plans there were to arrive on August 5th, and leave on September 5th... I don't know how much she had done, but she might still be there....

Just FYI--

I did cancel my surgery as stated, and Nikky is sending me my deposit back, which is awesome.  HOWEVER-  after I sent her my banking info needed for the transfer, she asked me for my full address, and also my identification number.  I wasn't sure what she meant, so I tried to clarify it.  She said I needed to give her my national identification number........ which in the US is my social security number.  I called my bank, and they assured me that that wasn't needed to do the transfer... (either was my home address).  I told Nikky that, and she said her bank is asking for it.  So I had my friend who speaks spanish call the bank in Lima and ask.  they also said that they did not need that, and the numbers I gave were all they needed.  (Again, not needing my address).  I wrote to Nikky and told her that I am still confused to what number that she needs, because now both banks said I don't need to give any other info.... and that I will not give out my social security number, because with that, my bank info, and my address, you can do a whole bunch of bad stuff. 

Today I recieved an email stating that she sent the money, and it should be in my bank in one business day.

I really don't know how to take this.  I had no bad feelings about Femilife, or Nikky, but this is a huge red flag.  I hate to think that they were fishing for my social security number. (This is big in South America, where the selling of US social security numbers is big business.) She never said the words social security number, (I even wrote to her in spanish to see if that was it), but she kept asking for my national ID number, which basically is my social.  Strange that when I refused, the money still got wired.

I'll wait to see if I get the money back.  I don't know if it's anything or not, but I wanted to post the experience here.  Take it for what you will.  I will, however, have to rethink going there when I am ready for my FFS based on this.  I've heard great things about Dr. Pimentel, but trust is a huge issue for me, and I'm not so sure I trust her now.

Anyway, again, just take it for what it is.  Just wanted to make people aware of it.

I have talked a few times with Nikky, and from my experience, it is hard to communicate with her. She does not fully understand English; which in my opinion for a position like hers you should really have a firm grasp on the English language.  I sent Nikky a request for information on Testimonials from some of Femilife's past patience.  She replied back about two weeks later with ONE email contact.  I requested the same information from another prospective FFS surgeon, and literally I received about 30 email contacts.   There were other red flags as well for me so I think that Femilife is not the place I would want to go for my FFS.  I hear that the techniques that the surgeons use there (especially for the bone) is pretty modern and extensive but it still worries me going there.  A friend of mine is planning to go there for revisionary work but she still have a few months before any final decision is made yet?

One of the girls on one of the other groups I am in had FFS there about 6-8 months ago and she can not say enough good about the service she recieved. She is very pleased with the results and how she was taken care of post op.
She looks cute too!

Hi i m new here ,I m 30 yo and 10 months in hrt i m in contact with nikky but its so dificult ,the first time i send her my fotos she didnt response ,i  was waiting 3 weeks and i ask her if is there ant problem she told me she didnt recieve my email...i resend them, but sometimes she never answer i wanna have ffs there but it looks dificult to comunicate,translate my emails to spanish  and resend them, i ask for doctors opinion and if he saw my fotos because i have already had a rhinoplasty and this will be a revision so i wanna know if he can do it,and his opinion,
I hope it will ends good..

Yes, the responses are slow from her.  I'm not sure, but I believe that she is running everything there by herself.... so as she gets busier with clients, it takes up more of her time. (That's my assumption).

its very hard to find someone who had surgery with femilife and it isnt good...if there is a lot of girls who already did ffs there why they dont talk? if i finaly go there i ll be diferent because i know how it is to help one person to make the right choise and feel good and not scary....i think nikky must work on that and be more kind and give informations...i dont know if she wants to be like this, but i think it will make alot of girls to go there...so if any of you already had the operation please give informations...and share your experience this will help alot .....thnks

info is always good. i wish i could help

wow rachl that's insane! does it include accommodation and all that?

Hello everybody thank you for your wonderful informative posts, After reading them, I'm still very nervous.

I know what you are feeling Aubrey, I have the same feeling now, I'm scheduled for January 14 for full FFS and thinking of postponing because I don't know if I'm doing the right thing?

Btw Aubrey, why did she charge you $500? Nikky told me it that my deposit was fully reimbursable.

hi sheyla i am afraid that this will happent to me also if i finally send the deposit and the surgery is to close...and that is hapened because we dont have a lot of results to see..doctors photo...and opinion...i dont know if dr pimentel see our photos or nicky send the same quote to everyone...when i send my pics to dr dimaggio amanda told me that the doctor saw my pics and i am sure of that because he saw exactly what i want for my nose that is already operated once and i want a revision...the bad comunication from nicky a very far away country like peru witch is a poor country and the only 3 -4 post op girls that you can find on the internet are the reasons that maybe i ll choose a more expensive doctor...maybe dr bart in belgium...see his website so many girls...also for me is very important the liplift and dr bart is very good on liplift and chin -haw reduction...dr pimentel s girls is like they didnt do liplift...i want more agressive aproach....and i cant talk to the doc to ask him thinks i must go to peru for a consultation...and it is very dificult...if any girl know nikky must tell her that she must show a more

a-pre and post results(if i finally go there i would like to give my photos)
b-photo of the doctor
3-a way to contact and ask question from the doc
its a big thing to change so musch your face
and you must be sure who will do it and if he can do it ...

Kisses and sorry for my bad english i hope you understand me...

Hi Nancy, I agree totally, but the price was so good and after talkinmg with Carol, seems Dr Pimentel is very good and speaks good english

who is carol?  look i am in a big dilema,i wanna go there to do all in one surgery but i wanna also be sure what dr can do....for example if he isnt agressive enough maybe i will wanna have a revision...so i prefer not to do all in one but to be sure for the results, i would like to have a consultation but it is so far awy its 19 hours trip from greece where i live...and the cost is around 1500 euros close to 2000 usd...i dont know what i ll finally do...i  hope things will change and nikky do something and we will feel closer to the doctor, see how he is look like...i am afraid to leave my face to someone that i never saw before...only from the words from someone who also i never saw, and maybe nikky must give a contct line to the doctor who speaks very good english...so why nothing from all these doesnt happen?...if she want to increase her work must do something ...

Carol had work done there and she said Dr Pimentel;s bone work was incredible

here's her blog
http://caroluren.blogspot.ca/p/my-ffs-in-lima-peru.html

you can ask her questions, she's a terrific lady, great help to me

I mentioned to Nikky what I wanted (very agressive) and she consulted with Dr Pimentel, and said that he could do it.

This is truly an awesome price, I would save over 6000 Dollars compared to the price of Dr. Z.
This was truly interesting to read, because I still don`t know if Dr. Z is better or Femilife is better...
Femilife and Dr. Z are the best, and I have my decision to make in the oncoming months.
Making the FFS @ Femilife, would save me a lot of time, would save me several months of Cash saving.

I got an even better price from Femilife some weeks ago for
- Mandibular and Chin reshaping (Jaw and chin feminisation)
- Full Septorhinoplasty
- Hairline Lowering
for 8000 Dollars, including all fees, anaesthesia, 2 Weeks accomodation and nursing and some other stuff.

But Dr. Z who gave me a price with 20.000 Dollars has some advantages, he would make

> Full adams apple shaving with hidden scar under the chin
> Chin and Jaw feminisation, Jaw feminisation with hidden scar inside the mouth and small incision hidden under the chin
> Liposuction on my Belly for a superflat belly and to gain some body fat for softening the face (Cheeks, Nasiobialfold filling etc)
> Lip filling
> Cheekbone Enhancements
> Full Septorhinoplasty
> Filling of the Nasiobialfold and the Cheeks with own body fat for supercute soft female face
> Full forehead recontouring with sinus bow shaving
> Hairline Lowering (Hairline Advancing) almost an inch down (2,54cm lowered Hairline)
> Facelift and tightening muscle, tissue and skin after the mandibular cutting and adams apple cutting for truly perfect female jawline aft

You see it`s possible to become model-like female after the Dr. Zukowski FFS, I think Dr. Z and Femilife are the best of the best worldwide, I don`t have any bad gut feelings about both of these FFS Clinics, and I need to make my decision in the oncoming months. 
Aaaaw I am so anxious, if I get TOOOOO anxious I would chose femilife because their FFS would be possible some months earlier because of the somehow a little bit lower price.
But Dr. Z does a lot of more procedures on my face, including tightening/facelifting the mandibular and neck soft tissue after the bone cutting, and some other interesting things.
I`m so happy to have these two FFS Clinics.

Nikki is truly nice wrote a lot of mails to her, and I talked to Dr. Zukowski on the phone over half an hour he is so great and very nice, he also wanted to give me some contact infos from other T-Girls in Berlin but this is not necessary I have seen the pictures on his website, he`s awesome (but I must admit I am highly interested to see a real FFS in real-life, not just all these pictures on the internet, to have a closer look where exactly the scars are, to have a closer look how the mandibular jaw shape is made and how a shaved trachea looks like).

OK Femilife and Dr. Z are the best of the best.
Time will tell who makes my FFS
Booked the femilife FFS for August 2013, but after talking to Dr. Zukowski, well he wants to give me the complete real deal full thing for an awesome price.
I cannot decide anymore which clinic is better, I guess Dr. Z can do even more to my face.

But Femilife is a young upcoming and really great clinic who can give awesome prices for more poor people who have a hell of a time getting at least a few thousand dollars together and could NEVER afford Dr. O or other US surgeons with their 30.000+ Dollar prices, and Femilife offers truly great manbiular surgery results (sometimes the size of the chin is amost reduced to half of the size bevore and thats just AWESOME AWESOME compared to some other clinics who don`t even reduce the chin size a quarter of an Inch (6mm).

If someone asks me, I always recommend Femilife!
But I guess I am going to make the FFS @ the Zukowski Clinic.
What do you think?
What would you do?
These two are the best worldwide in my personal opinion, and I have contacted dozens of FFS surgeons worldwide.

how can you be so sure about femilife results?if you search on the internet there is only 4 girls post op from femilife..with not very clear pictures...3 of them on their website and one on ffs support...dr z have lot more girls who can their pics and they talk about their experience on the forums....so it is a litle bit weird what you say...i hope femilife is good on their results i really wanna have all in one surgery but i wanna be a litle more sure ...and i cant...any girl who was there for her ffs except carol and the other 4 girls?   

someone told me, it's not because they have lots of pictures on their website that they are their own. I'm not implying anything, I'm just saying some might use pictures from any site.

Dr Z I think would be awesome...but because it's double the price that's why I considered Femilife over him. Toby MAyer in California was top on my list too but a bit pricey like Dr Z.

As for face and neck lift I'm have it done at Femilife too and the price for full FFs adam shaving and face and neck lift was absolutely mind blowing
