I have done nothing right now,but in Mar of ‘10 I plan to be on hormones.
Specific_Questions: how long do I have to be on hormones to get the breast implant surgery and how long for the SRS surgery and can you tell me more in detail about the grant and the deal you offer. lastly, do you do the body cotouring surgery and how much is it!! thanx )   Kendra

Good afternoon Kendra,

Timely question. Just discussed on our MTF web-site.
“Always best to be on estrogens for a good 2 years before breast implantation.   The reason being, the implant sits under and inside the periphery of your home-grown breast mass. If the implant extends outside the periphery, you will have the double bubble or Michelin tire man effect. Like a 2 decker beehive.

Yes very true, breast mass is part fat and of course part glandular tissue. But please do not gain weight to have more breast mass. You don’t want to be in competition with obese men on the beach, as their fat mass is more a roll than breast like.”

Sorry the grant was great about 100,000 disbursed to over 80 patients in varying degrees.  Based upon a research project which had concluded.

No more fund are available, but we do give individual consideration.

All the best,

Good morning Jasmine,

While we do breast augmentation and feminizing vaginoplasty, FFS and tracheal shave are done by others.  Our fees are posted on our web-site.

I certainly appreciate these are difficult economic times, and any news that recovery is around the corner is pure cheer up.   The good USA cannot be fighting wars and expending billions of dollars and printing paper money with unemployment at the rate it is, and expect prosperity.

For that reason, we do offer individual consideration to move you along, further to your goals.

Anne, our office manager is the maker of deals and the brains behind pa.  Please read over the attached and see if I am the doctor for you.

All the best,

Dear Dr. Reed,

Hormones/Conversion: Yes, I have been taking hormones for about 3 and half years.
Specific_Questions: i am interested in having castration and also Cohesive gel breast augmentation, do you have a price package for that?    Sarah

Good morning Sarah, 

Thank you for your interest in what we do.

While our fee for orchiectomy is 2500 and for cohesive gel breasts 6000 (saline 5000), we can put a package together for you for 7000 if both procedures are done simultaneously.

Please understand that with cohesive gels the recommendation is to have MRI scans every 2 years or so
to detect rupture.  Very shortly this will be quite expensive for you.

The US-FDA has recommended that MRIs be considered to screen for silent rupture starting at three years after implantation and then every two years thereafter.

Most likely, you will have a retro-pectoral implantation, in which case salines or gels will be covered with a fair amount of muscle and the palpable result may turn out to be quite similar.  Also keep in mind your present breast masses may not be exactly similar and although cohesives come in various sizes it is possible to tweak fine difference with salines on the table when we sit you up under anesthesia, than with gels.  Although there are sizers, once a gel is in it cannot be augmented.

Incidentally, when you are sat up, at least 4 people, usually 2 women and 2 men (associated with the case) give
their opinions for final adjustments.

Please look at photographic examples and we hope you like what you see.   http://www.srsmiami.com/photography-breast.html

Orchiectomy is a procedure we understand quite well and you certainly do not want a tootsie roll effect (retained spermatic cord), that goes too.   Orchiectomy is a procedure we understand quite well and you certainly do not want a tootsie roll effect (retained spermatic cord), that goes too.  Additionally when you are ready to have a feminizing vaginoplasty we will give you a 1000 credit to our already low prices, which are 6000 below what others charge in North America, in that we own our surgical facility.

With every best wish for a peaceful Sunday,

To Tara at Tarareources.net 

Dear Tara, 

This is to advise you that we have not been able to offer grants, which had been solely based upon testicular donation,  for over 2 years. That project was concluded by the research lab.

We do offer individual consideration for needy people only. However, without any contingency funds to cover the unexpected, we cannot operate.  A financial statement may be requested. 

Thank you for referring the many nice patients who have made inquires, some of whom we have been able to assist.

As is, our fees run about 6000 below what other charge in North America if that is of any help. Unless you have an impulsive need for genital ablation, please select a doctor whose work is pleasing to you

and who may respond to your request for assistance (circumstances change for us all, for example some doctor may have a cancellation and be willing to fill that time slot for less).

All the best to your group.  Your good deeds will not go unnoticed.

Harold M. Reed, M.D. 

Yes I’ve been on the estragen patches & spirolacton for about six weeks. Specific_Questions: So far my nipples & areolas has been changing or my nipples have been a larger & harder and becoming tender / painful.

I’m wondering at what or how quickly could I get implants, no more than A’s! or would silicone injections & my left breast area seems more lofty than the right side is that normal that they will development at diffrent levels ?

Thanks Bill or Sarie!

Hi Sarie, 

Consultation is $250 and our otherwise all inclusive fee for saline implants is $5,000.  That includes general anesthesia, use of the facility, surgery fee, the implants, and any followup care I provide. 

Most essential, you do need to be on properly regulated estrogen dosages for a minimum of 2 years to have a successful cosmetic result.  A sufficient amount  of “home grown” breast tissue is always needed to cover the underlying implant.  If not, you will have a double bubble effect and look like the Michelin tire man.Please avoid silicone injections as the results can be disastrous  and exceedingly difficult and very costly to correct. 

If you have asymmetry of your breast size, please don’t worry about that.  It is said your breasts are sisters, not twins.  When implants are put in they will be volumetrically adjusted to make you make as symmetricalas possible.We use the Tebbetts’ formula to determine the appropriate size.  That is large breast prostheses can only be put in if there is enough home grown breast tissue to cover. 

Also please keep in mind, very large breasts, natural or prosthetic, are prone to droop in 6 years or so, and you’ll be back on the table for a lift.  These incision lines as contrasted with a small initial incision are not all that pretty. So if you have enough natural breast mass to cover the implant fine, if not you will have a protruding implant peeking around the edges of your natural breast, called “double bubble. “We can consider a high profile implant with greater projection for any given volume with a smaller base. 

Best wishes,

Sex change 

Silicone injection to the male genitalia as well as other parts of the body for enhancement is often done by non-medical personnel or doctors operating in foreign countries. The fees seems affordable, but the results are often disastrous. Silicone like injectable fat chooses paths of least resistance. Once inserted, silicone takes a random walk and the ultimate result is often unpredictable.

We have seen many transsexual females with butts that look like car tires. Way too much material is often unfortunately a feature of silicone practitioners and the results are very grotesque.

Here are some examples including one case of a female breast representative of so many we have seen, with hard lumpy contours.

Lastly although we are removing silicone as frequently as a few cases a month, there are surgical pitfalls. Silicone destroys normal healthy vascularity, so there is a propensity for poor wound healing, including separation and infection. Inevitably some silicone must be left within few milliliters of the skin as removing all of that will certainly result in skin necrosis. Silicone often will track into the lymphatic system. Tissue bulking secondary to ligneous edema may result in periodic swelling depending upon degree of physical activity.

 Please be advised they are not pretty.

now requests saline implants to keep her dress up.  The silicone was injected in such a way as to displace the nipple areolar complex on either side very far laterally.  This unfortunately is a serious problem and the placement of implants in the proper location may only cause more deviation.  The patient has been so counselled.   In addition to  very bad fibrosis of the tissues, silcione injections often take a randon and unpredictable walk into tissue planes of least resistance.  This is to be avoided both in the breast and also in my opinion in the hips, where we have seen some real sand bags which don’t look very anatomic.

RE: [MTF-SRS-FTM] SRS with Dr Reed

I had my srs with Dr. Reed this July 2008. He was excellent from day 1 when he called me himself (wow!) & the results & my total experience were the best and way above my expectations. All the staff were super friendly & Dr. Reed was very personable and took care of me really well and a few others i was with me in miami. I would recommend him 1000% any time and i’m planning to have breast implants as well in a year’s time.

I hope this helps.

Thnx. Lisa H, texas

Good morning Aramis,
For those women who think like you wife does, surgery
is not needed.

There is a whole line of plastic prosthetics for the
“pee and pack” crowd of FTM transsexuals which
your wife could also use.

I think at the end of the day, your wife will
void in privacy like most women do.

Best wishes,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.

P.S.  Surely, breast implants can wait.
