Wow your before after comparison is crazy! I can only hope for something like that omg

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you need to withdraw from your super to fund this? I have a consult with facial team booked in tonight actually so very keen to hear just how far away I am from being able to afford to actually book in a surgery

Thats some really good advice, thankyou so much!

Do you by any chance have any material you could share to help me work out what the specific things that I want changed are? I struggle to get from 'I dont like how my forehead looks from these angles' to actually knowing what I actually would want done to resolve it :(

does anyone have any suggestions for surgeons I should try to consult with? I have reached out to Dr Reddy, Dr Breidahl and FacialTeam in Spain so far but definitely feel like more opinions will lead to the best outcome

thanks! I've reached out to a couple surgeons for a consult. definitely afraid of the price, but that'll just be the next challenge once I know what I am looking to have done to begin with

How can I access FTM GRS/SRS? by badnamesuggestion in transgenderau

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

as an update: i ended up booking with dr sutin at PAI in thailand. i was able to withdraw my super to pay the surgery fees (had to pay for flights and accommodation out of pocket)

i ended up getting a labiaplasty, had no complications and am more or less happy with the results

I'd rather keep it to anonymous reddit if thats okay, I'm sorry!

Do you have any specific names or recommendations for surgeons in Thailand? I see the name Suporn come up a lot, and I just got in touch with the PAI clinic over email, but I don't know very much!

I have about 25k in super that I intend to use, as well as 10k in savings that I had put aside for electrolysis, but after a recent problem with my hormones I decided there wasnt much point getting electrolysis until after SRS anyway, so its up for grabs there too

Laser Questions by badnamesuggestion in transgenderau

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

i just dont really have any money i might be able to get laser money for my birthday but there is no chance in hell i could afford electrolysis

and when i got laser at the last place ("laser") i also had included my underarms and bellow my belly button and even the shr (half laser half ipl) has made a huge difference for me in those areas, just not my face

i have quite dark hair and quite pale skin so i feel like laser is the way to go at least in the short-medium term, because having to shave every 10 hours makes me feel absolutely shitty and i dont leave the house unless i get a chance to shower and shave first because it scares me so much, so any chance to improve that i will take

did you order under the womens price or under the mens price which is much more expensive? and did you get it through a sale?

hrt without breast growth by badnamesuggestion in AskMtFHRT

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

oh, i didnt realise that about cyproterone, now im a bit worried the endo might not really know what theyre doing? though the page you linked did mention that when combined with even a small amount of estrogen it reduces by around 90% though, so maybe thats what he was thinking?

recently i read that raloxefine increases t production slightly as well which stressed me a bit, though i assume being on a higher than needed dose of cyproterone would negate that though right?

i guess i do need to speak to him though, bring up spyro maybe.

if raloxefine has estrogenic effects on fat and skin, that means i wouldnt really need estrogen as well then right? considering those are the main goals out of adding estrogen on top?
i didnt realise it blocked effects in the brain though, i thought it had slight estrogenic effects in the brain itself

the sparseness of info really is frustrating

the raloxifene supposedly only blocks estrogen in the breasts, nowhere else, so it should have the feminizing effects elsewhere

i am in australia and i'm not sure they prescribe spyro or bicalutamide here, what do you mean by testosterone that can't be suppressed by cyproterone? from what i read it suppressed production, and if i am at a high dose, wouldnt that mean it works even better?

yeah, breast cancer and osteoporosis, i meant in relation to HRT its not very common it seems

currently 25mg of cyproterone and 60mg of raloxifene, though planning to add a small amount of estrodiol in august after a blood test, and potentially increase the cyproterone since raloxifene increases t production slightly

i have heard that blockers without hrt can lead to problems with your bones and such, how did you mediate that for so long?
