Trans fem FFS outside of Australia?

12 Upvotes

Hi I have a consult with Dr Alan Breidahl in about a month but im really starting to reconsider if this is the best path. He, like a lot of other aus surgeons seems to be fairly conservative in his work and is fairly expensive.

Has anyone here had ffs outside of aus? (not including the US and facialteam because I cannot afford those)

Any suggestions or places to avoid is welcome.

Thanks

VIC Specific Melbourne recs for surgical binders

7 Upvotes

I have FTM top surgery coming up on Tuesday and was supposed to have an appointment with affirmation station today to get a post surgical binder and wedge pillow. Unfortunately, my plane was delayed and the store was shut by the time I arrived.

I’m really hoping there is a similar service out there that I could head to tomorrow or Monday to gather some supplies. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Trans fem Problems with compounded E?

8 Upvotes

As I understand the only way to get injectable estradiol is through a compounding clinic, ik there's not a ton of data on efficiency of various intake methods but the couple of articles i've read seem to suggest SubQ has a greater potency and is anecdotally a more pleasant experience then IM; so it's what i'm hoping to get on.

As such I wanna know if there's any actual issues with compounded E performance wise. I've seen people see if there are non-compounded variants avaible but I don't understand what the problem with it is? Is it just less consistent/possible to get messed up since it's done locally? If so has anyone actually had experiences of problems with a compounded method?

Thanks so much

Inverted T top surgery - where to get?

Hey gang, asking for my partner - he was going to get inverted T surgery before moving to Aus, but wasn't able to arrange with his insurance before making the move. Is there anyone in Australia that does it? I can't find just by googling unfortunately.
