37 Year Old MTF Facial Feminization by the AMAZING Dr. D.
ORIGINAL POST
It took me a long time to really get serious about...
it took me a long time to really get serious about my transition. parts of me was unsure if I had what was needed to go through this process. Lots of people have said that I was too manly so that kinda held me back. Over the year I done little things to my appearance to try my best to feminize myself. From rhinoplasty to new teeth! Illegal silicone! You name it. I tried it! Over I guess the last 6 years or so I became interested in FFS. I took my time to research surgeons. Did consultations with a few! Did EXACTLY What you are doing RIGHT NOW and listened to what other girls had to say... again, YOU NAME IT! I RESEARCHED IT!
I was told by a dear friend in 2010 to find Dr. Ousterhout before he retired! I did! I also found out he was Kinda Pricey! At the time I didn't have that kind of money nor credit. BUT I continued to compare Dr. O's girls to everyone else and he just REALLY seemed to have mastered FFS! I mean HE WAS THE CREATOR/MASTER and its very clear why.
A friend of mine told me Dr. O retired and some how I got an email about it!
The email also mentioned that Dr. Jordan Deschamps-Braly would be taking over.
NOW HERE IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR!
I reached out to Dr. D(Dr. Jordan I call him both so excuse me!) about a year or more ago. I talked to a really nice lady who set everything up!
I booked the appointment for my consultation which was several months away! Booked all of my travel! Went to SanFran! My HEART WAS STOLEN AND LEFT THERE!!!!!
I am the type of woman who operates solely off of ENERGY! I have to FEEL something for you in oder to continue to do business with you! As I said earlier I've had some work done in the past and I PROMISED MYSELF that from now on I would ONLY treat myself to THE BEST!!!!
I watched an interview on YouTube with Dr. Jordan... I knew then "He is going to operate on me!!!"
The Experience!
I went to SanFran a few days early for all of my pre-op stuff! If you go MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL OF THE FINE PRINT! READ EVERYTHING! I didn't, which caused me to be unaware of A LOT of things. Like I needed to have my teeth cleaned prior! GOOD THING Dr. D's staff reminded me! SO JUST READ IT ALL!!!
Day of surgery I was ALONE! I took a uber to the hospital! Dr. D showed up looking like he had JUST showered! I got EXCITED! (I'm sorry I forgot to mention he is REALLY CUTE!!!!) A few more people came and did what they had to do and before you know it I was off to surgery!
I woke up!
Had to rest for a few hours!
Once it was time to leave Dr. D's staff arranged a car service to take me back to my hotel!
Surgery is a personal journey... For ME this was by far the best surgical experience I've EVER HAD!
I mean they REALLY go all out! Sent flowers to my room and all!!!!
Dr. Jordan is a GENIUS! He is very well educated... it runs in his family! He was fortunate enough to work alongside THE MASTER Dr. O and even to this day he STILL has Dr; Ousterhout's name on his door! That speaks to what kinda man he is! SMART & Considerate!
Maybe this review has become more of a love note! BUT I AM SO HAPPY that I was able to be one of "Dr. Deschamps-Barly's Girls"
EVERYONE on his staff is SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!
I CANNOT WAIT TO CONTINUE My Journey with Dr. D!!!
HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
and NO I am not showing photos here because that is not really how he works! When I was looking into him I could only find like 2 girls online who'd posted photos! One I found on her personal social media account. FIND ME!
HE DID AN AMAZING JOB!!! I FINALLY FEEL BEAUTIFUL!!!! when he's done I will be the ultimate GODDESS!!!!
Thank You Dr. Jordan!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! SO MUCH!!!! For giving me a NEW LIFE!!!!

KINDA Disappointed!!!!
When we I wrote my initial post about my experience with Dr. Braly and his staff I was just a few weeks out of surgery. Keep in mind that over the years I have had more than a few procedures done to my face and body.
Now its been about 11 months and I can really see what took place with my latest surgery which was done last September.
I will still say that Dr. Braly is a very warm and kind man! His staff is a reflection of him... overall great people!
HOWEVER!!!! I do have a few concerns. I would hate for someone to invest SO MUCH into themselves based upon my review then end up in the same situation that I have currently found myself in.
So, when I contacted the office to schedule my consultation they were VERY organized with getting me in. I do think that their consultation process is set up in a way that they are able to gauge is you can really afford to have the surgery done or not. whatever I get it!!
After surgery, I looked almost exactly how I want to look every day! I told him "Next time I would like more fat in my cheeks." My concern then was "if I look so perfect not, what am I going to look like when the swelling goes down!??!"
Answer: a lot like how I did before I went to Dr. Braly.
I could tell he was taken aback when I asked for my cheek fat. My cheeks were kinda full after he completed the fat transfer. well, I knew that at least 30% of that was going to go down because that is just how fat transfers go.
A few weeks after my lip stitches dissolved I noticed that my bottom lip was WAY TOO HIGH! So high that you cannot see my bottom teeth! its almost looks like I have no teeth in the bottom now. Not to mention having my lip up so high messes with my speaking. it's weird.
So I contacted Dr. Braly and they told it was still kinda early to judge... give it more time.
I did!
As more time passed I noticed that I have A LOT of extra skin around my chin and jaw. It appears that where he shaved the bone now there is extra skin.
I REALLY wish that I would have known I needed a lower facelift at the same time as getting the bones shaved.
I believe that the fat transferred to my face would have been more successful if my face was not sagging with extra skin.
Sometimes I don't think these doctors realize how much goes into getting these surgeries done! Not the 30K that you have to pay but the time off of work! The time away from home! Trips back and forth to SanFran for a 15-minute consult. The time it takes for you to adjust to your new self!
In my heart, I believe that my lip was pulled up too high because when my bones were shaved there was a lot of skin and he was trying to conceal it.
WELLLLLL if he or someone from his office would have been there when I woke up that could have told me everything that took place... that part was really annoying to me! YES, I went and had my surgery done ALONE! when I woke up there was no one in sight! I did have nice flowers at my hotel when I returned but I could have used someone letting me know how things went.
Dr. Braly is very smart and good at what he does! I know my case is more difficult since I started this process so late.
Only a year after surgery and I am having to go to another surgeon to get more work done to deal with the same area that I have already addressed. not sure about what is to come with my bottom lip! I guess eventually I will need to try and have it repositioned as well.
I am kinda torn here because I feel like if I had 60K up front rather than doing half of it now and half later maybe he would have gotten me right!? IDK!!!!
starting to feel like some of these doctors who "specialize" in FFS look at us as a cash cow and they are trying to do as many girls as possible!!! That is fine too but NEVER do anyone half AS$!!!
HE NEVER mentioned making my lip higher! He NEVER told me I would have over an? inch and a half of extra skin under my neck.
HAD I known all of these details I could have made a more informed decision.
I promise to upload some photos and such next week....
Not being mean but I wanted to share!!!!

I have the same exact problem after having had surgery with him. It looks like I have a fat and extra skin hanging from underneath my chin, which is super awkward because I'm very thin everywhere else, so this one area of "chubby-ness" looks quite unnatural.
I brought it up with Dr. Deschamps-Braly. He tried to cut the excess out during one surgery but this didn't work. Then he told me to try Kybella, but when I went into his office for Kybella treatment I was told it wouldn't work because it's mostly scar tissue and very little fat... Guess I'm just let with a bunch of awkward skin hanging from underneath my chin... a problem I have not noticed from other FFS surgeons. And it's not like I had a huge chin to begin with...
Overall I'm not at all impressed with the way he "handles" problems like these. He's super helpful when you're about to drop 50 - 100k for surgery, but as soon as that's over and there are revision issues that need be addressed (like this excess skin) he becomes defensive and pretty much refuses to even acknowledge what is so obviously a problem. It's disappointing and pretty unprofessional.

Hello my love! I am so sorry you had to endure that experience. I hope you live in California at least that way its less money than coming from across the planet.
I like Dr. D THE PERSON! I think he's handsome and fly! As a plastic surgeon............... I feel like most of them work better with young pretty girls. I have had more surgery done elsewhere since he worked on me in order to remove some of the extra skin he left behind. Apparently, there was a lot of skin for the new doctor to remove! I am still heartbroken over the lost investment that I made in going with Dr. D just because I ASSuMEd he was "THE BEST"
I did call and speak to the folks at his office just before my recent operation and I told her that I would keep in touch.
I think that I am just going to find someone else to complete the FFS.

you are so correct about this! in the initial paperwork, it states that if they need to go back in a finetune some things they will! well, I never got that option. It was "Come Back To Cali and let us look at it!" WAIT so I need to make a trip across the country for you to tell me what you can do! A person who does these surgeries every day should be able to video chat you and tell you what is happening! I mean seriously you just cut my face open you should not need me to make a special trip to see what the result looks like in order to schedule an appointment to repair your own work! MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! Major disappointment with this guy! OH but he IS SO CUTE!!!!!!

16 Months Since Surgery with Dr. D! My FINAL UPDATE
Last night I had to figure out how to update my actual rating. Today I decided I would offer once final update on my experience with Dr. D ONLY BECAUSE this work is So Expensive! I would really hate not to speak my truth and someone else go experience the same issues.
As I said before they treat you like a REAL QUEEN during the process. Almost immediately after surgery, you become a distant memory.
I went to Dr. D to have my chin and jaw contoured and to have fat transfered into my face.
When I woke up I felt just fine. A few weeks after surgery I looked AMAZING! About 6-8 months after that was when I started asking myself WTF did I just spend ALL OF THAT MONEY ON!!!
You could not see the definition of the work Dr. D did taking my chin and jaw down because he's left a tremendous amout of skin behind.
In an effort to disquise some of that skin he lifted my bottom lip which still to this day 16 months later is too high and covers completely my bottom teeth. It weird to talk! It weird to smile! SO I DONT!
Getting a revison or any type of feedback on what can be done requires you to make a special trip BACK to SanFran Just for him to LOOK AT IT!!! No mind you he just cut your entire head open and he needs you to come back so that he can see IF he can fix the mistake that HE made.
OH OK!!!
I was totally and completely over the whole ordeal so I went to another surgeon!!! Have a face and necklift to get rid of all of the extra skin and tissue that Dr. D left me with. That surgery just too place in December! Great experice but I am nervous about writing a review YET because I would hate for 6 months to go by and the surgery settle into something that I do not like.
I think that Dr. D is an AMAZING MAN! Sexy! HANDSOME! All that! but he needs to TAKE HIS TIME and STOP TRYING TO DO SO MANY GIRLS IN ONE DAY!!! Like really focus on the artistry!!!! If you see extra skin FIX IT THE RIGHT WAY!!! A Lower LipLift is NOT the answer! when you file that chin and jaw down you MUST do it in conjunction with a neck and face lift! PERIOD! ESPECIALLY if you are removing SEVERAL millimeters of bone! I MEAN that is simple math! If you take away from here you gotta take away from there to create balance and harmony!
Now if this was a 15K situation I might have let it go by now! It was FAR MORE!!!
I did speak to Dr. D's Office prior to my last surgery and after. We did intend to stay in touch so that he could possibly repair my bottom lip. At this point I am going to pass on that and complete my Facial Fem elsewhere.

Yes..You indeed very beautiful after the surgery for 7 months. Thanks for your honest real life experiment on FFS. His site does not show before and after photos of FFS. Then What makes the tran-girals go there..? It's my curiosity, please do not take as personal.. Did you take MRI scan. You will know his works & how he cut your jaw or chin bone. You do not have to be a physician..you common sense tell you..
Thaks so much for your post and may all your dreams come true. Bye

so! you have to go to the facility to see the images so that they are able to make you feel a way! the whole experience is to make you feel like he is The Absolute Best & that you cannot get the same treatment elsewhere! Its like being part of a secret society.
With FFS the more feminine you are going into the surgery the better chance you have for a successful out come.
I was not that femme going into it so I do not think he was as inspired.
They do tons of Xrays and scans at the initial consultation! That is part of it! He needs those images to tell you what he can and cannot do.
I think he is a good doctor. I do not think he is the best at FFS like this predecessor.
He needs to learn HONESTY and proper communication!
He needs to work on being there when you wake up!
He needs to work on figuring out how to finesse the extra skin situation as it seems I am not the only person who had this issue.
