Serious rivals to FacialTeam?

Are there any serious rivals to FT who are in the same price range. By that I mean delivering consistent, quality results?

I’m talking brow, nose, chin, blepharoplasty, neck lift (with possible eyebrow lift, lip lift and jaw) for approx £30k.

I’m impressed with the work of the big US names like Mardorissian, Deschamps-Braly, Lee but unfortunately they’re 3x FT prices and whilst MDM is in FT’s price range and has clinics on 3 continents he has a worrying lack of before/after photos.

I’ve already ruled out:

a) Torres - weird-looking results

b) Priyamed - weird-looking results

c) Rossi - weird-looking results

d) Cardenas - apparently not fully qualified and can only produce one type of brow/orbital result

i agree rolfes is probably your best shot at normal looking foreheads and orbitals but also he's a fair bit cheaper than ft and none of those big names are anywhere near 3x what ft charges, you've got some weird numbers going on somewhere. check the dates on the quotes you're using here and remember 30k pounds is 40k usd lol

I thought Mardirossian and FT prices are very comparable when I did my research.

Can you provide me with more details? I had a 20m consult with him in 2017/18 and it was $50k for the standard procedures.

I didn’t consult with him but compared prices others have listed here for similar procedures.

How is he rated compared to FT? I haven’t see that many before/afters.

Hey would you recommend Rolfes over FT?

I had a type 3 with Cardenas about 4 months ago and did a pretty good job imo

Hey is it possible to send you a message I'm trying to hunt down some of his patients and ask questions about their results. It's so hard to find any online

I have seen a lot of results from Rossi and don’t find the results weird? His noses are impeccable especially compared to facial team, I personally find their nose results very bulbous

I’m not here to argue, I’m here to find surgeons in the same price range as FT who deliver consistent, quality results and who I have not ruled out.

Asking for clarification is not arguing - you could try dr DiMaggio but heard he is quite transphobic about his patients

I don’t see what needed clarification - I am impressed with FT and unimpressed with Rossi and have ruled him out so am looking for other recommendations so telling me you rate him above FT is moot. MDM is on my list and I liked him when I had my consultation however as said, I am perturbed by his lack of before/after photos.

Sounds like you don’t have many options left - you have already spoke to all the major surgeons apart from Americans who are out of your price range

Seems you think very highly of facial team so I would just save to go with them

I think they’re too conservative but I think they’re the most trustworthy and reliable. I’d rather go with someone just as reliable but who delivers more dramatic and beautifying FFS.

I was considering Rossi or Sluzky if I needed more work done. They are considerably less expensive than FT.I could get forehead only with FT. But I’m glad I decided to not change unique features and only objectively masculine ones.

Dr Sluzky has fled Russia though so she might not have a practice for a while.

Do you have any more info on that? In particular, why?

I just saw on her insta that she’s in Yerevan at the moment and looking to relocate to Tel Aviv. I can imagine between sanctions, exchange controls, nobody travelling to Russia and increasing crackdown on LGBT by Putin the environment is not conducive to running a FFS clinic?

I must say you did your due diligence very well. The ones you dismissed are indeed at the bottom of the pile. I think in Europe most people will go to FT or Dr Inglefield in UK. The UK surgeons are good but understated. In the US I think the top one is Deschamps and Jumaily has been doing good work.

Not necessarily. They could tell the story that they luckily fell into his wheelhouse where he could apply the same, singular process - no exceptions that needed to be taken into consideration.

I found the info on here. Apparently he’s weak on brow bossing and can’t do type 3 or frontal sinus placement and so applies the same orbital process regardless of patient’s bone structure. I also think I read that he’s not fully qualified (maxillofacial?)

Dr Cardenas' website states he uses type 3

I am pretty sure I also read several patients of his say they got type 3, seems pretty unlikely OP's information is correct.

Do the research and then decide

I did, he definitely does type 3, his website says he does and several patients of his had type 3 done.

Service provider websites should be taken with a pinch of salt. That leaves you with a handful of anecdotes. If that’s all you need to form your opinion rather than check out claims to the contrary then, hey, go you.

You claimed he doesn't do it, there are people who had it done and can prove it with pictures and statements, I don't get what you are trying to achieve here honestly

Trying to find quality FFS surgeons, obviously.

I was never interested in debating my surgeon preferences - only wanted suggestions - but I have zero time for someone who takes issue with an opinion yet refuses to do the quick and easy basic research that supports that opinion. And so it is I who doesn’t understand what you’re trying to achieve here.
