I suppose I should also comment on my consultation with Dr Z....
I really liked him and I guess I gotta agree with all of his recommendations... My GF was there with me and she agreed too and I trust her judgement....
He recommended his partially open endoscopic brow bone work and brow lift along with a scalp advancement even though there is no hairline.... He said it would help remove the bald area and give me a better chance at restoring my hair with trans plants... The scar will be covered eventually regardless when that time comes... That was EXACTLY my thinking so it was nice to agree fully with him there
Also of course a nose job and also a lip lift and augmentation... I can see the need for that....
And also chin length reduction and rounding along with jaw and masseter muscle reduction... I agree strongly on the chin but I was really hoping to avoid any jaw work... The incisions for that are in the mouth and the whole thing just sounds quite painful.... Id think the recovery from that sucks and I doubt you can eat much for a while...
Oh well maybe lose some weight... MY GF who again I trust said thats mandatory and one of my giveaways so I'll do that too...
Finally I want and he recommended a full face and neck lift along with fat injections in my laugh lines... He said that while you cant really see my trachea now it will be an issue after the face/neck lift.... I was under the impression at that time that The voice doc would do the trach shave... He said that would be OK and he would work with that...
Im glad I didnt do the CTA though and glad I have no scar on my neck.... IF for some reason Im not happy with the new voice Dr Haben can always do a CTA in addition to the work thats already done... Makes sense to do that AFTER FFS....
Total for all that??? 36K that Im planning on spending in 3-4 months.... The voice doc says 3 months minimum before any other surgery... Gotta be fully healed before the intubation tube can be inserted for anesthetic.... Thats gonna SUCK for sure but Id think Im gonna look pretty damn good afterwards Hell Im sure just that much more time on the HRT is gonna help a lot but the bones wont change and the face wont lift itself....
Oh yea but Im gonna have him very carefully do my trach shave now so add whatever that costs to the 36K....
Havent even started with hair yet
It aint cheap being me
