FFS by Anna Sluzky, post-op 1year. (Bonus: 18th day vs 368th day) 41 years old
Thanks for sharing! You look great. I'm just over two weeks post-FFS, so it's really helpful to see such wonderful long term results.
Congrats! =) Hope you will share your results ^_^
Yes, you can clearly see swelling in the area of the chin implant on the "Day 18th" photos, but eventually, it has gone =)
A year ago Anna Sluzky performed #facialfeminizationsugery surgery and this is my face now :)
Before - October 2021, after - December 2022.
Bonus: after the 18th day/after the 368th day: January 2022 vs December 2022
N.B. As requested: prices are there https://www.facemakermd.com/services/ (no hidden fees, just sum up).
I wanted: EVERYTHING!
After consultation with Anna, she convinced me that I only need 2 options (and then we added 3rd one).
I had:
- Frontoplasty and brow arch reshaping $3200 (USD)
- Upper lip lift $750 (USD)
- Custom-made individual chin implant $2350 (USD)
Total: $6300 (USD)
I am going for VFS (FemLAR) in late January 2023 ( she is now operating in Yerevan/Armenia ).
You can find more details in my previous posts.
P.S. No Makeup, No Filters (obviously :)
(Except: makeup: eyelashes tint a month ago, and eyebrows tint couple of weeks ago.)
im so impressed these results were acheived only with 3 proceedures! surprised to hear, so thats great work!
did u get hair transplants between the 18days and 1year pictures?
Thank you, she is great _^
Well spotted! =)
Yes, additional procedures performed between 18 days and 368 days are:
1) Hair Transplant (Istanbul/Turkey, ~1400 EUR in total + flight + hotel)
2) upper+lower lips filling (0.5ml) Hyaluronic Acid.
(1) - I have shared costs and procedures and photos before/after here in r/Transgender_Surgeries
The before and after pictures are amazing!
Thank you! =)
Those prices are US Dollar?
Yes, USD.
(I've updated comment: added (USD) to the $)
😱 It's that cheap?;?!?!?!?!? OMG my wife is gonna flip when she hears this. Her facial structure is similar to yours pre-ffs and she is just horribly dysphoric.
Edit, nevermind.... It's in Russia. Ain't nobody going there unless they want to die. War and all that. * Sigh* Back to the drawing board.
Hey, remember there are people from all over the world here. For some, going to Russia may be totally realistic.
I don't think it's realistic for anyone to go to Russia right now. It just isn't safe there anymore. I mean Ukraine is currently striking back against Russia. Getting ffs in Russia may mean dodging crossfire.
Edit: My wife just said she just might dodge bullets for a chance at ffs. Lol. Yeah she is that desperate, but I can't blame her. She is 90% German and as such has a masc facial structure.
She’s not in Russia.
Being a foreigner in Russia is safe, even now: https://youtu.be/0jqngu0GzaQ
But, again, she is not there. She lives in Israel and operates in Armenia.
So, plz, stop being xenophobic.
P.S. Will be happy to assist your wife in reaching out to Anna. And share my experience in Armenia.
Is it xenophobic to be afraid of war?
It is xenophobic to suggest that all the Russian-named surgeons based in Russia support the war and try to kill you pretending there is a cheap FFS.
You were the only one who mentioned "Russia" in this thread, ignoring all the details about where Anna lives and operates now, bringing this triggering and painful topic here as a joke, it is not a joke.
Ask your wife how all the Germans outside their country felt in 1943..1945 (and after); why you are contributing to the same experience for others?
This is how all the Russians outside their ex-homeland feel now. More than four million people left their country (and all their belongings) to protest. (What should happen in your country so four mln people used the only life-non-threatening way to protest like this?)
Russians are now a nation without their homeland, and you are continuing to trigger their pain. Not to mention triggering everyone's pain related to this war: Ukrainians and all the ex'USSR-ppl.
Let's stop?
I will be happy to assist you and your wife, and to share the Armenia experience (how does it feel like to travel to Armenia, with male-passport and female face =)
Please re-read my first comment with the details.
1) She left Russia immediately after the war started, as no one in their mind would support that war (and leaving the country - is the only life-non-threatening way of protesting there).
2) She is based in Israel and operates in Yerevan/Armenia (and yes, Armenia is NOT Russia), as I have already clearly stated.
Please keep these lighthearted "Russian" jokes and discourse away from this thread. As it may be triggering and it is triggering for some people, and it is off-topic.
Now, back to the topic.
It is not "cheap" but more affordable than US/EU prices. This is why: medical service is just yet another service there (CIS/ex-USSR) in a very competitive environment.
So all the clinics actually compete for clients. (And since it was built on top of developed medical USSR's culture, there are plenty of them.)
So it is just a fair price.
That's why people across the world travel there for medical tourism. (and neighbour countries, i.e. Türkiye).
Why does she operate in Armenia and not Israel?
She can operate in Armenia without any pre-requisite because her Russian license is accepted in Armenia. She is working on recognizing her license and experience in Israel, but if she will operate there the price will increase by x factor.
(in Ex’USSR medicine and healthcare is just yet another service, so the sphere is very competitive + the cost of living in Israel will be higher + less competition)
Cool. Thanks!
I wasn't joking about anything. I saw the website was a Russian site and the address was in Moscow (on the site) and thought that meant she was in Russia. I never suggested that the doctor would kill the Patient. I suggested that a person traveling to a war torn country could be killed in the crossfire. I'm sorry that Russian history is such a trigger for you. Honestly Jewish history is a big trigger for me (my grandfather was a Holocaust survivor) so I get it.
Now when I said cheap I meant affordable, not that the care was not as good. In the US, it is around $30,000 for facial feminization so a difference of $24,000 is significant! I hadn't heard that Armenia was a great place for medical tourism but it sure sounds like it is with how affordable the prices are.
Yes, sorry for being too sensitive to triggers =) I did not mean to be rude or anything like that. Thank you for understanding ^_^ (And sorry for my stupid jokes =)
I meant affordable, not that the care was not as good. In the US, it is around $30,000 for facial feminization so a difference of $24,000 is significant!
Yes! Until mid-2021, I had US/EU prices in mind and already "gave up" — I thought I would never be able to afford FFS. That is why my mission now — is to be open and transparent and show everyone interested that there are much more affordable options from the top-5 world-class surgeon. (Just check her profile — she has been into reconstructive facial 3d-printing and 3d-modelling since 2005.)
But then, in mid-2021, a friend of mine had FFS with Anna — and it was amazing results (she is open, so I believe it is ok to share her results before/after).
So by the end of 2021, I had my FFS done ^_^
I hope it will work out for your wife as well =)
(I hope will be able to share VFS results soon ^_^)
Back to the drawing board
Its entirely up to you ofc ... concerning FFS trying a few optimizations of HRT first, and giving it a few months may be an option, here may be more. Many may not need it.
And there is a service called virtualFFS and consulting them in case may be a good idea. They also know surgeons. It may be necessary to discuss with them the kind of approach though. A standard may be a moderate approach. Be aware that with a more aggressive approach results can look more mask like, and less individual.
They could make a few suggestions including a minimal one. More details are here .
hugs
She doesn't operate in Russia anymore. Yerevan Armenia and I think she mentioned Georgia as well.
You look great !!! Thank you for sharing . May ask you. What is the price for VFS with Anna Slutzkay ? Here in Russia they doubled the price on everything . It's close to 5000 now
Thank you,
You could find prices in RUB on her .ru site. But I am not sure if these prices are still relevant, it is better to ask her directly (via Instagram).
VFS/FemLAR price in USD: $2400.
Thank you !!)) Even 2400 is still good , I found her on Instagram . Thank you so much !
So happy for you!
I'm consulting her as soon as I Get my CT scan back.
Please share you Femlar results with us as I'm really interested in getting that in the future too. x
Sure! I will =)
I'm interested in updates on this too. x
Will share results here on Reddit soon.
Meanwhile — did some updates in my instagram (public), the username is the same.
thank you. could you tell me what was the post op like? how long you had to stay in Armenia post op? how was the care. etc.
FemLAR went well, it is 6th day since I am allowed to speak after two weeks of total silence (it was challenging :)
woooow. I think I'd need the femlar as well as I already had one trachea shave and it wasn't enough. do you have any issues with your voice?
I love my new voice, but it’s a bit too early to judge (I was told by those who had this surgery not to judge your voice for 2…5 months — it will evolve :)
I see. please please please keep me posted. :) I think I replied to some other comments of yours. May I DM u here with few questions pls? x ty
sure, please feel free to DM, will be happy to assist you.
Great results :)
Dang this gives me hope for myself
Superhugs! =)
You’re so beautiful and I LOVE your hair🥰🦋❤️
No, you! =)
Thank you ^_^
🥰Totally you…me someday maybe 🤷♀️
Oh! BTW, she said that she is doing clavicle shortening (making shoulders less wide).
Cool stuff :)
And waist reduction, but without rib removal.
Wow! Stunning result! Congrats :D 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks a million ^_^
wow you look great for begin 41 same age as me sadly for my self i don't think i can do it with being on low income i don't see any thing in the future improving for some one like me.
it just to expensive with no job and no one wanting to even give me a chance to work or any thing ect.
but still you look good for your self happy you got it done for your self grat's again <3
Thanks a million =) That is the magic of Estradiol Enanthate =) (Even years before my social transition, I started to get some weird comments like: "where is your older brother? where is your portrait that is getting older instead of you" =)
I hope you will have your chance to find support, recognition and an interesting, inspiring job :) I wish you the best of luck 🍀 with that (hugs)
Daaamn. I'm honestly considering FFS with Anna as well. Just need to finish off my invisalign treatment and then wanna get the FFS done. I though it would be better idea to get my teeth sorted before having something done with my face.
May I ask you. How long did you stay in the hotel or wherever you stayed post op? How was the post op care?
Thank you.
She made you breathtakingly pretty. This is beyond just FFS.
Thank you ^_^ She is practicing scientifically proven 3D witchcraft.
How do you feel she did with the orbital rims and how was the actual hospital stay and bedside manner. What about the incision was it at the hairline?
Sorry for all the questions. I’m looking at going with her
Coronal incision (zig-zag to avoid scars visibility), she usually never does the hairline cut -> cause it might be too visible (only in case you will make hairline adjustments + hair transplant later to make it invisible).
I am happy with all the orbital rims.
Hospital stay was one night: early morning -> surgery, and discharge was the next day around 12:00 noon.
OMG, how changes face after FFS, you look so feminine now !
What procedures did you have done, and how much did it cost?
Updated the first comment.
check out her comment to this post
Hello. It's been a few weeks since I sent her my CT scan, but she still hasn't told me when she will consult with me. How long did you wait until she consulted with you?
Please note that she has no assistant (she works alone), so the best strategy is to keep her posted/pinged via your communication channel until you have your consultation scheduled.
Also, in case of no-reply, pls let me know your nickname / account name and the communication channel - I will ping her as well ^_^
Good luck!
Actually, I have reached out to her, and she was quite nice.
So, when is the surgery? +)
She hasn't given me the exact date yet. She only mentioned that it could be sometime in the second half of September.
That might be too late to ask, I would encourage you to ask ASAP ^_^
Good Luck.
Hello, how did you choose a hotel in Armenia? Is it okay if I stay a little far from the hospital, like a 10-minute taxi ride away? I probably won't be able to walk after surgery, so I'll need to take a taxi either way.
I have chosen based on the Hospital Address.
It was 2...5 mins walk from the Clinic.
And what do you mean "won't be able to walk"? You will be able to walk home from the hospital the next day =).
But Taxi is also OK - it is cheap in Yerevan (Plz use Yandex.GO or
Yandex.TAXI
app).
Another point - I have booked on
booking.com
, apartments from
hyur
(
https://hyurservice.com/en
) should be good enough and they speak English).
Can I have your WhatsApp, I have some questions about the surgery
You can ask me right here, it might hep others. Of feel free to send a private message.
I'll probably need to do this alone since I can't find anyone to accompany me to Armenia. I'm feeling quite worried about it.
Amazing result!
It looks great! Congrats on the anniversary
But… anniversary is 256 or 512 days.. not this weird 368 number 😀
Thanks a million! :)
Hello, I have a question did you have work on your browbone done or just a hairline lowering?
Please refer to this comment for details.
(Browbone, no hairline lowering, hair transplantation was done 5 months later, in April 2022)
Could you explain what frontoplasty / brow arch reshaping is? Is it similar to type 1 forehead?
Can you explain what is type 1 forehead?
Frontoplasty / brow arch reshaping is rebuilding/reassembling your forehead bone (sinus) to for the more flat appearance. Brow arc reshaping - shaving under-eyebrow bones for the same purpose.
You can find this explanation: "Forehead and the inscriptions shape changing surgery.
Implements by anterior wall of frontal sinus moving and orbits upper edge and frontal bone remodelling" here:
https://www.facemakermd.com/services/
(just hover your mouse over the "Frontoplasty and brow arch reshaping" text.
Basically, if they remove and shave down your frontal sinus before putting it back it’s type 3. If they shave it down from the front it’s type 1. I can’t really work out from Sluzky’s description which it is because it isn’t translated very well
You can subscribe to her Instagram (facemakerffs) — she has some posts explaining how it is performed on 3d models.
But, as I just said: she takes out the frontal sinus, cuts it into pieces (as it was already modelled in 3d based on your CT) and reassembles the puzzle as a flat surface, and puts it back, using self-dissolvable threads (her own technique) — so no titanium pieces in your head, just your own bones, reassembled.
Amazing, sounds great. Maybe an alternative to FT. Does she have more before / afters?
Have you subscribed to her private Instagram? There are plenty of b/a.
Could you explain how the self-dissolving threads work?
self-dissolving threads
AFAIR, the correct English term would be: https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-to-know-absorbable-sutures Dissolvable/Absorbable Stitches
Hey, pretty) can I please ask that, where did you have your breast surgery, any affordable recommendation?) ^
I had no breast surgery, just HRT. But my [cis]-wife had BA with Anna Sluzky (she did it via areolas, so no visible scars. You can check her pricelist: https://www.facemakermd.com/services/
Oh, thank you! I didn't know Dr. Anna Sluzky also performed BA surgery ) I opened the link, the price is about $4800?
By the way, do you have IG?
well, $4800 is for Mastoplexy, not Mammoplasty.
Mammoplasty is ~$3500.
(Mastoplexy is BreastLift).
IG shared in DM (or chat, idk what is it =))
