Meet the FFS expert
Orientations include detailed 30-minute informative sessions with an FFS surgeon. In some cases, group seminars are also provided.
Photo Shoot
The typical “preop” clinical photos are taken onsite are precisely adapted for a Virtual FFS digital simulation, yet are valuable for your historical records as well as assessments from other specialists.
Peer Support Group
Benefit from the group support of other attendees researching facial feminisation as well as some former patients available to relate their own personal experiences. Some stay the day, share opinions and even make new friends. “It was the first time I met people in the trans community and that was important for me. I’d recommend the orientations to anyone”.
Patient Coordination
Take advantage to get answers to all your queries about logistics, travel etc. with a patient relations coordinator who is there to help.
Depending on the location, there may be representatives from your local trans community association or other services such as makeup advisors, microfeminization specialists and hair removal providers to ensure your a more complete informational experience.
