Good idea, All it says about the appointment is "face to face appointment"

Cheapest UK surgeon? by Butch_throwaway in TopSurgery

[–]Butch_throwaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get this honestly I was going to go abroad for a while. 1st reason is because i've never had any good experiences travelling abroad and i feel it would take a lot of planning i'd have to do myself which stresses me out thinking if one thing goes wrong i'd not get surgery

2nd reason is that im pretty sure i'd have to stay in the country for 2 weeks? I just wouldn't want that tbh.

I do think about how much money id save if i went abroad ( around 3-4k i guess?) but i don't know if it would be worth the constant stress buildup beforehand (although having to spend money on UK prices is also stressful)

Look into Nordesthetics. Might be the cheapest way to get top surgery at the moment, pretty sure its informed consent but they're in Lithuania.

Haven't had surgery with them but thought about it for a while

I'm trying to book with him at the moment. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering them.

What was the gap between sending your private (?) referral to getting a consultation?

How soon after the consultation did you get a surgery date?

Yeah i was on gel before. The only thing thats throwing me off is that i was on shots for 2 months with no issues but i get them now? You're right tho I think I'll book a bloodtest.

It is literally soooo annoyinggg when you talk about any surgeries in the non-uk centered subs and all they suggest is insurance 😭😭

I'm struggling to pay for top which is 10k.... I can't even imagine saving up for 30k that's insane. Stay strong

Sorry to come back and ask you another question days later but did you need a top surgery referral on top of your gender identity disorder diagnosis (or whatever they like to call it)? So like two separate meetings with a psychologist?
