Mmm. is it possible to request more "dramatic" results?

Yes, it is. And btw: thai surgeons aren't very good at performing nosejobs on Westerners.

Most look too small, too 'ski jump', too plastic,  too skooped out, too fake.

When I wear black rimmed glasses it looks as if the nose was a phrostetic, like those googles with nose and moustache. So anything can be an improvement.

18/09/2014: No AIDS

So apparently, I'm not a carrier. No wonder given my sex life... But that was only part of the blood test requested by the surgeon. Most of the values are in ok ranges, except for cholinesterase. Last time I had surgery I was also informed about this, just that my values seems to have worsened compared to April 2013. By the time the old was taken I was only 9 days on hormones, and on a small dose, so I wonder if it is related to HRT.


Anyways, this is everything I needed. I just need to do two bundles of documents, the medical ones and the data and send them to Chett. After that, it's a matter of waiting, living frugally and trying to keep calm.

23/09/2014: The time off HRT

So I sent all the files plus some questions. And I got this:

Quote1) When should I stop Hormone replacement Therapy before surgery? As
have been told by my endocrinologist, I have high natural testosterone
levels and my body can revert the changes made HRT very quickly. My current
medication is: XXXXXX

Answer: You must stop taking aspirin or any blood thinner medication,
estrogen hormone, all NSAID drugs (for example, Ibruprofen or Advil),
Diclofinac or Votaren) at least 2 weeks before traveling.

He only says estrogen hormones... Maybe that means I still can take the antiandrogen?

Remaining balance paid. Pretty much I'm finished so far, just buying some extra clothes before leaving. 29 days for surgery.

Just scared that the things I am not doing (jaw and chin, 8000€) will still clock me. I'm also changing looks after FFS, curly / wavy hair instead of straightened. After the scalp advancement I may be able to afford not wearing a bangs extension, and let my hair heal from constant heat.

Hi Julia,
I'm thinking about having something similar with Dr Chet next year.  I've heard good things about him.Do you mind if I ask what he's charging for your stage 1 work?

I think Dr. Chettawut lists his prices on his website

No prices, just surgery time. I may need to contact dr Chettawut for prices.

Surgery prices were removed months ago from the site, although some info websites keep some prices, albeit outdated.

Partial (every bad are but the jaw and chin) is costing me around 17.000€ with 8000-10000 for what I am missing. Tissue work is cheap, but working on the bones is as expensive as SRS with him.

Hotel, travel and food expenses are not included.

I will probably keep my blog updated (www.flyingtoaster.net), although only in spanish.

Things I still need to buy:
- New titanium piercings for my ears (I don't want the holes to close and I won't be wearing earrings for some time.
- Pajamas
- A bag for hygiene products
- More underwear? In case I don't want to do laundry. Most of the time I will probably be half naked inside my room...

What I don't know is: What's the period between surgery and when despite bandages you can move or go out of the hotel to buy stuff? From the pictures I have seen most of the bandages are removed after 1-2 days post-op, except for the nose. And speaking of that... I'm supposing they will provide the hospital gown for the surgery day and the next day in the recovery room, don't they. Apart from the pajamas and the outdoors clothing, I'm not bringing a lot more.


And sigh... Since I live in a place where it is always cloudy and rainy, I haven't updated my sunglasses. plus I suppose I will need some kind of protective headwear. Since my surgery has been delayed, I have one extra day to do some tourism.

Hi! So I will follow all your process in your blog ^^. I'm so exciting for you! . I suggest you to wait 4 or 5 days after the surgery because the firts days maybe you will have nausea and headache so you should take with calm all the process and repose the firts days untill you feel better.

Ten days to go. It's my fifth day without hormones and I'm starting to get pretty tired by now... Headaches, more anxiety, and ->-bleeped-<- happened with my neighbours that forced me to call the cops because of blasting extremely loud music to the point I reached my break. las thing I want now is more headaches. I just need peace while I start preparing the suitcase this evening...

I leave this monday, surgery in two fridays...

Well, minus ten hours until they pick me and we enter the clinic... Good luck to me, I guess.

How exciting Julia, your going to look amazing xx

Hey Julia

Unas breves palabras para decir que estoy pensando en ti, chica!  I hope you're doing great, and that you're over the anesthetic, and getting ready to start walking about.

Take it easy, the first few days are a challenge - we'll be here when you're up to writing.

Un abrazo
J

Thinking of you Julia and hoping for great success and a quick recovery.
