I have so many comments about this list! 💜 1. The rhinoplasty that comes with FFS isn't like a regular nose job. The general intent is to shave down the bridge of the nose to match the work they do to shave down the brow, because just as testosterone causes extra bone to develop in the forehead and brow (and chin, jaw, and eye sockets), it causes extra cartilage to form on the bridge of the nose and trachea, and extra skin in the forehead (to accommodate the brow growth, forcing the hairline back and the eyebrows to sag lower) and upper lip (room for the moustache, turning the upper lip down and making the mouth look thinner). 2. People getting a brow & forehead reduction will often opt to have bone shaved off the sockets around their eyes (orbital reduction), as testosterone makes that bone increase too. It can have a profound effect to help 'open up the eyes' (the most masculinizing feature of a face is the extra shadow around the eyes, produced by protruding brows and deep eye sockets and over-developed nose bridges). 3. An upper lip reduction generally removes about a 5-6 mm sliver of tissue from under the base of the nose, simulating how the lip would have been without a testosterone puberty. That's how the lip gets 'turned up'. Without that extra skin, the lip no longer turns down, and you won't have that very thin male-looking upper lip any more: just a more open, more feminine smile, without any fillers or plumpers. 4. Warning: most cosmetic surgeons out there lack the training or equipment to perform real FFS surgeries, so they market a lot of 'alternatives' to try and get money out of a very desperate and vulnerable market (that's us). They're the ones pushing fillers and injections. I highly urge everyone to learn as much as they can before getting any procedure, and never settle for the one you can afford: wait for the one you NEED. 5. About orchiectomy: one major reason for us to get it is to remove a lot of volume from the 'package' down there. It makes tucking easier, more comfortable, and with less of a 'bulge'. It's also cheap, as opposed to SRS which is very expensive. Many girls will opt for an orchi to give them years of relief before they can actually afford (or just make up their mind about) a vaginoplasty. SRS requires a couple years of electrolysis to prepare the donor area ($$$), airfare and hotel stay for a couple weeks for you and your helper ($$$), dilators and whatnot ($$$), and even if your surgery is 'covered', it isn't covering that other stuff (so we may be up to ten thousand dollars by this point, depending on circumstances), and it isn't covering revisions. Just about everyone getting SRS will need to go back for revisions at least once in their lives (so, $$$ for that, and the airfare and hotel again each time). Where I live, a vaginoplasty is covered by healthcare: but revisions and all other expenses are not. So a 'free' surgery could end up costing me as much as FFS in the end. Orchiectomy doesn't come with all that extra cost and hassle, but it can relieve a whole lot of issues. If you've never had a 'dip' in your hormone therapy, where you start to experience re-masculinizing effects... trust me, it makes you want those little things removed as fast as possible! 6. Orchi addendum: whatever procedure it's part of, removing the testicles tends to provoke the adrenal glands into producing extra testosterone for a while out of backlash. Just something to watch out for and know that it's not permanent, but anyone telling you that you can lower your estrogen or stop your anti-androgen drugs right afterwards is giving you bad advice. But your adrenal glands will still produce a small amount of testosterone for the rest of your life once that initial surge dies down: enough to be healthy. 7. Alopecia reduction (or scalp reduction) is another option as part of a hair restoration plan. Since a person has a limited amount of donor follicles for use in transplant, some of us are left in a position where there just isn't enough possible donor hair to affect a full-ish restoration. So a girl stuck as a Norwood 5 or 6 might consider a surgery to remove part of her bald spot, before proceeding to hair transplantation. It's certainly not an ideal solution, as it will leave a large scar down the middle of the scalp, but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!
Saving saving saving for a selection of these down the track. Only three months in on HRT, long journey ahead. Loving your videos, having a bit of a Malibu binge this weekend
a really good summary! my favorite was the brow lift and contouring. it also lowered my hairline by over and inch! my least favorite- electrolysis. it is sooooo slow and the most painful. i am having to use it to clean up what laser can’t get (blonde and gray). i still have my chin to do. the worst part for me is not the pain or the cost (high) but having to grow out the hair enough to remove. it triggers my dysphoria hardcore to have whiskers 🤮
Thank you for such a helpful and informative list. I'm finally at a stage where I can start saving for surgeries, I'm so worried about the cost, but I'm hoping to have FFS soon. I've got my consultation appointment in Nov. I don't think you need any fillers. Your lips are lovely. Have you heard of SKN clinics? They regularly have up to 50% off full body laser treatment plans, and they offer some finance deals. It's who I used to remove my body hair. Thanks for the fab content, gorgeous lady. ❤
@@JessicaAngelxx that’s great good luck with that next month! Costs are a bummer but worth it in the end. Ooh I haven’t heard of that but that’s definitely something I should look into, thank you ❤️
Wow, I didn't know about a lot of these options! Thank you Malibu! I've been watching your videos for a while now and you're a life-saver for me. Go queen!! ❤❤
Here in Canada vaginoplasty does not need to have hair removal ahead of time. The hair is permanently removed during the surgery so that takes care of that. (I'd check with NHS on that procedure as it may be the same.) Cheers.
GRS Montreal offers that surgery-day cauterization, but not everywhere does. And they warn you that any hairs that have been reduced (but not fully eliminated) prior to surgery may well be too thin and small to be seen by the doctor to be cauterized by him. But also, there's a chance that any hair that's lighter & thinner for any other reason (like it just started growing, or you have poor circulation in that area, or it's been temporarily miniaturized due to stress or medication reaction, or you're just an older girl whose body hair is thinning and going gray too) will be missed anyway and then you'll have hair growing inside your vagina down the road. So it's a great option, but not a 100% guaranteed process. If you've already had some hair reduction treatment down there, you absolutely want to finish that off anyway. And if you want to avoid the anxiety of the whole wait-and-see if they did get every single one or if something escaped the doctor's eye: then it's still a good idea to get it all removed in advance so you have the time and luxury of witnessing it not grow back any more. On the other hand, getting it done surgery day sure speeds up the process, and lets you skip a couple years of electrolysis!
Great video thanks for the info. Today I shaved my beard off for the first time in over 10 years and its made me feel so much better about myself, everyone says I look so much younger and I feel so much happier now I've gotten rid of that big masculine visual part of my face. Now I feel like I can do proper make up and properly feminize myself. Just wanted to share this as it makes me so happy
Orchiectomy is also used in one of the treatments for prostate cancer, something that as affected other members of my family, by removing the testicles it reduces the production of testosterone, which in effect helps to stop the prostate cancer from growing/spreading. Something for me to keep an eye on in the future, unfortunately. Oh, hi Malibu 🐦
You can also have a glottoplasty to raise the pitch of your voice to sound more fem. There is a surgeon in London who will do this operation. Costs about £5600 the last time I looked. And for $40,000 there is a surgeon in California who will do shoulder reduction to make the shoulders narrower.
@@daviniarobbins9298 I'm annoyed I left off the voice feminization one I definitely knew about that 😂 shoulder reduction is a new one to me though, but makes sense.
@@MalibuBarbiieDelish The shoulder one he cuts the clavicle and joins the two ends together with a brace. Personally I wouldn't have it done as it sounds too risky.
@@daviniarobbins9298 The voice surgery is also not worth it imho, you just get a higher pitch with high risk of damaging your vocal cords. This means that you lose vocal range, and pitch alone will not make you sound more feminine anyway
Peritoneal is the internal layer of skin that creates moisture. It technically can be pulled from anywhere from the body, not necessarily always from the Abdomen, but some surgeons harvest it from that area exclusively and is the most common procedure done. I had a variation of this done via a method that Mt Sinai in New York uses (Dr Ting - who helped pioneer the method). They use some material from the genital area (already under change) and use it to line the canal combined with the more traditional penile inversion method. As you stated, the end result is that it adds some moisture generation in the (neo) vaginal canal. Even Mt Sinai warns if the donation area does not have enough material, then they will harvest from the abdomen to supplement. This variation is technically not the pull through method, but uses the same base procedure logic/result. As with anyone else, the amount of moisture generated via the method varies by patient (some people are more "liquidy" than others), but not enough for more vigorous use (aka sexual intercourse). So a lube is still recommended for those activities. Hope this helps with your understanding of the variations related to this method.
Interesting I didn't read anything about that when looking it up so thank you for bringing that to my attention, another thing to think about for my surgery when I have it!
@@lspoulin shoulder reduction is something I didn't come across but seemingly something that also should be included, rib removal I purposely left out due to the significant risks I don't think its something that should be promoted.
Other Surguries that can be looked into being: Rib Remodeling (where your lower ribs are moved, held and moulded into a more feminine shape, also giving an hour glass figure) Shoulder Reduction Surgury (essentially narrowing the clavicle and healing it to essentially remove up to 2cm to 3cm per shoulder in width)
@@princessbubbles9222 hmm I think it was around 6k. I believe I paid 10k total for the 2 surgeries at the same time but there was a discount for having both at the same time.
H Malibu. I'm not trans just female. I have had lip filler just 0.5 and it was only £100 you can have a lip flick with Botox but I wouldn't recommend that as you have to keep getting it done every 4/6 weeks filler lasts up to a year would highly recommend you don't need it you look amazing but filler is affordable and a natural great option if you were interested 😊 sorry if that sounds odd I don't like the term cis women or bio women we are all valid and all women so said female😊
@@katiejones8953 yeah I wouldn't want something that needs redoing all the time I wish my forehead botox would last longer 😂 definitely will try lip filler at some point when I can afford to though. And no that's not odd at all 🩷
@@MalibuBarbiieDelish you look amazing and make up always looks immaculate really enjoy your videos. You have come a long way on the journey. I think sometimes it's nice just to chat with people and not worry to much about the past I think there are things I dont like mentioned past doesn't define who was are but your very talented with music and looks like your happy with an amazing partner. When I was younger I was wild but now like you I've settled into a nice situation. Yeah I said that to my lip lady I don't want to end up spending money I don't have all the time I do the filler for me I'm not that great at make up but I'm learning. I considered transitioning when I was younger from f to m but I decided that wasn't right for me and I don't really re visit that but I'm find I can relate to your content alot hope you and your partner have an amazing week. Yes I like to save up for things I want and I told the lady I can't afford to have Botox and never had it only filler I don't feel I need it now as I'm only 38 but if long term I do I may do. It's nice to save up and then see results. Thanks for sharing your journey with us here I also have 8 cats I love my fur babies. I saw you have cats too.
@@katiejones8953 Awwh thank you Katie that is sweet ❤️ I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos :) It is always nice to chat to people of course. 8 cats is crazy haha I currently have 9 but 5 are kittens who won’t be with me for long. It’s always crazy when I have a litter 😳
My goodness Malibu. I could write so much about what you have said. Your age makes some of the surgeries unnecessary. You do have good features and I think you should steer away from fillers. The amount of money I have spent on lip fillers I could have opted for my own body fat injected instead and this would have lasted forever. IMHO you don't need a tracheal shave or removal. My Adams apple is also small and almost disappeared when I had a face lift. I was lucky not to need a brow reduction or chin shaping. You do talk about hair removal and Laser. I may be mistaken but most places use IPL which is often mistakenly called Laser.. With HRT the body hair will get softer and in my case with continual waxing it has virtually disappeared. Start getting the genital hair removal ASAP as it can be a long process. The penile pull through is the safest of the three but if you want the depth a perineal procedure would be better. All I have done is scratch the surface here. I knew so much more after theses surgeries as at the time I never knew what questions to ask.
@@PhilippaJane I've not heard of fat grafting to lips before perhaps that's something I should look into, but I feel like I'd at least want to see if I like how it looks with filler before I do something permanent. The laser I get is all with the NHS I was also worried about it taking a long time as it has with my face but I was told genital hair is easier to remove so I hope that is true for me :S And the SRS I think its almost definitely the penile inversion ill be having but I shall find out soon for sure.
Malibu darling I think your nose is elegant you genuinely are a good looking woma and I'll have you know my Mister says that you look like a painting from the reinasance dysforia is cruel keep loving yourself Suegeries: I want my ribs removed, FFS ( the nose I get it) does the NHS cover hair removal?
Voice feminization surgery is something people can also get. Also I forget whats it's called but u can get yoyr testicle removed and the skin from the sack cleaned up so that part os flat.. This is something I want to do one day as a have a female partner and I'm only actived to females
@@NicoleB95 ooh I totally forgot about voice feminization but yes 100% I thought I had this on the list actually I remember thinking about it, oh well 😂
Electolisis, are pr. Hair.. i am currently doing it on my face, i dont think it hurts at all 😅 the nurse doing it on my are surprised that i can lay completely still for an hour.. it is effective, but a looooooooong process and costly 🫣 around 40% of my beard was gray/white so a lot to go, but the area i have had it in are smooth.. i do need it in the basement 😅 i think it will hurt like hell there though 🫣 I am thinking of a nose job, mostly because i think it is too big.. but it is not because of dysphoria 😅 so it is way down on the list 🤔 also i am only hitting the 1 year on HRT this month, and i am to my surprise passing quite well already so i want to wait for anything, but hair removal and SRS.. But i am lucky i got weighter hips than my torso (not much) compared to some of my cis female friends.. i am not tall even by women standards, i do not have a shape like a barrel, and i have had been voice training before my transition because of acting 😅 hormons even gave me a well sized bot, small but noticeable boobs (C coup) and my hair line weirdly enough grow back more or less 🥰 Sry for praging 😅 not ment to.. i'm just glad that it went this well
@@KamillaMirabelle an hour for electrolysis really wow, is that after laser? I've had 6 laser sessions previously and have another 7 before I go for the electrolysis, I think I have a lot of stubborn blonde hair too though so that'll prob remain until electrolysis. that's great if you are already passing well and C cup from hormones is amazing so congrats on that! I feel like mine are still A maybe B but never been measured properly. Best of luck with it all 💜
Hi Malibu love your Channel. I have had 4.5 years of Facial electrolysis for my grey and white hairs being 67 years old. Started with 15 minute, 30 minute and 60 minute sessions every week for the first 9 months, then going to two hour sessions almost every week for 2.5 years then reducing to 60 minutes every 6 weeks, in total had 150.5 hours costing £10,078. After all my privately fund Electrolysis treatments the NHS have decided to fund 16 hours of Facial electrolysis but have to travel 30 miles each way for each session. Going to London tomorrow for pre bottom surgery assessment. Keep the great videos coming❤❤ Eugenie
@@MalibuBarbiieDelish it take from 15 min to 1 hour pr. session, it depend on the nurse being able to be in the same workposition without getting back pain, and your pain level. I have had 5 laser treatments, getting my final free one soon (under the healthcare of Denmark) but as i said most of my hair was already not candidates for laser because it is too light. I can still grow a full beard, so there are plenty of hair.. 🫣 i have had 2 30 min sessions, and 1 in that was an hour.. i have had my right chik from my hair line to under my ear been finished.. and i pay out of my own pocket, here it is around 900,- ddk, for an hour which is around 130$, but it works so i glade pay 😅 Again it depend on how much hair you got left after laser. But compared to laser, i dont think it is painful at all! I had dark brown hair before, they where so thick and so many that i could feel the laser in the nerves of my teeth 😱
@@eugeniechadaj9151 Hiya thank you ❤️ damn that’s a LOT of electrolysis, that’s great that the nhs are funding it for you now and best of luck with your consultation!
