Hi ladies, Curiosity killing the cat. On average how many mtf have what percentage of procedures done? Seems some have nearly everything done that is possible while others elect not to.

HRT, facial filler, hair removal and transplants. BA and GRS scheduled in April!

It all depends on what you need to be done.

The younger transitioners often just need GCS and they are good to go.

The older girls like myself, needed GCS, FFS, beard electrolysis and scalp transplants.

Everyone needs HRT, but only some of us need a BA.

For me it is HRT and facial hair removal.  I plan to have an orchi done in the near future, and SRS in the not so near future, if at all.
I do not need anything done to my face or hairline, or body hair removal (what's not there, doesn't need to be removed)

At 29 I'm looking at Electro, VFS, FFS, BA? GCS. I am also considering some body sculpting procedures. My hips are feeding my dysphoria but I don't know what all I will be willing to subject myself to.

I have only been on estradiol. I have not required any other medication.

The only surgery I have had is GCS.

I started HRT at 28 years old.

FFS,  Hair transplants, fat transfer, butt implants, rib cage reduction.

Almost forgot also liposuction and started hair removal.

Why did you get a rib cage reduction?  What did they do for this?

Linde, I want to know also what they did for rib cage reduction?

Maybe she had a large men's barreled chest?

I had a thick rib cage a man's barrel chest.  They remove 6 lower ribs 3 in front and 3 in back.

This is major surgery, and normally not in the realm of cosmetic surgeons!  Knowing what is involved with that, and the possible complications I would have though it over at least 5 times!

I'm not satisfied with my chest either and I have contemplated this surgery but I feel that it's too risky.

My priority list: Hair removal(almost done), HRT, VFS, GCS?, FFS??

HRT is vital for me, no question. My voice is very important to me and I feel that I'll never be able to improve it enough with training only so VFS will probably be inevitable.
Not sure if I'll need GCS, we'll see. Maybe I'll consider FFS or some cosmetic surgeries to look a little younger but first I need to be full-time to have a clearer picture of my wants and needs.

I've thought about having the two floater ribs removed. The only issue I raise has to do with what happens in the event of say an auto accident?

The lower part of the rib cage is pretty flexible.  Prior to having a very invasive surgery (with all the risks associated with that), I would try to "retrain" those ribs.  It was done by almost all females during the Victorian period, when a wasp like waste was the hot fashion.  I would get a corset (similar to this https://www.amazon.com/SHAPERX-Seamless-Control-Shapewear-Bodysuit/dp/B07JP53Y54/ref=pd_rhf_eetyp_s_vtp_ses_clicks_0_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07JP53Y54&pd_rd_r=e67cfdbb-a761-4787-b545-4d34eab0cd49&pd_rd_w=5xnvp&pd_rd_wg=bdY4a&pf_rd_p=05d75987-58ed-4d36-bbfa-515cd87e4ee3&pf_rd_r=SBPNXJ3523C0S4T1R2A5&refRID=SBPNXJ3523C0S4T1R2A5), and start to slowly bend those lower ribs more inward!
I have a pretty large rib cage, too, and plan to go this route.  It is way cheaper and way less critical with way less undesired side effects!

Was that done in the USA?

Happy so far?  I'd like to have one or two.  I think I'm ok but would like to be a little smoother on the sides l.

It was done in the USA and I am happy with it.  I had no complications.

Most cases end up fine!  Unless you are one of the unhappy people who do not end up being fine!  And you canfind those in the medical literature!

It is the same with SRS, most end up fine, but we can read here of some really bodged ones!  SRS is the only way to achieve the desired outcome, while other methods are available for rib cage reduction.  Those methods take longer but are way less critical.

So far, the only procedure I have had done is facial electrolysis.  In the future, I am planning GRS and a trachea shave, to be done at the same time.  I have no plans for FFS, VFS, fat transfers, or anything else.  Couldn't afford it anyway.
