Hello and welcome from me!


My name is Jenny and I am proud to host this website for Dr Frans Noorman van der Dussen. I will be your first point of contact for enquiries to Dr Frans, and you may be assured of our prompt response. 

 

I am a former patient of Dr Frans, my seven hour FFS surgery was completed in November 2009.



Do take some time to browse our website. We know how important this surgery is to you and of the positive changes it can make for your social integration and general wellbeing.

 

Our site is young and it is fresh! Do support us as we build it, for all it can be to our community.

Some background for you

When first I met Dr Frans, I arrived dressed as male as I could never envisage a time when I would arrive as the person I am. How many of us feel that we can never present publicly as the people we are? During my first consultation with Dr Frans, his interest and empathy told me that he could see the woman hidden within me, from that point forward I knew he would be my surgeon as I felt so at one with him.

Dr. Frans Dr. Frans

 

Dr Frans is a man of modesty, dignity and respect who has a deep understanding of the needs of our community.

 

His work is life changing, and his techniques in gender remodelling craniofacial surgery have afforded him international recognition.

 

He consults and operates in London and Antwerp and his charges are competitive and transparent.

Dr Frans's patients

Whilst most FFS patients are full time Trans women, an ever increasing number who present less frequently, seek FFS to more readily enable their feminine expression. Dr Frans Noorman van der Dussen is a pioneer of FFS surgery and his techniques have afforded him international acclaim. His skills in gender defining Facial Feminisation Surgery can enable so much to be realised.

The year ahead

We have an exciting year ahead of us in 2012 and are planning lectures, where Dr Frans will speak of his techniques in craniofacial FFS surgery and of associated procedures. We are also planning events and to provide regional consultation days throughout the UK! 

 

We will be pleased to confirm consultations in advance of the presentations. We will keep you informed.

Complimentary procedures

In addition to Facial Feminisation Surgery, Dr Frans is pleased to recommend Dr Bert Oelbrandt of the Singelberg Clinic in Belgium.

 

Dr Oelbrandt is a board certified cosmetic surgeon and offers a wide range of complimentary surgical procedures. He specialises in soft tissue work and breast augmentation.

 

Dr Frans and Dr Oelbrandt work regularly together at the Singelberg Clinic and in the Belgian General Hospital, the Sint-Jozefkliniek.

Jenny's view.

For me, being trans is part of a celebration of human diversity and of our ‘absolute’ right to present ourselves, and live, as the people we are.

 

There have been so many wonderful moments, and some challenging ones, such is life for all regardless. I love the freedom of total expression, and the feeling of completeness it brings. I don’t have to act like a man, or do man things. I can be colourful, soft and gentle, wear my lovely clothes, shop, and interact with others, as who I really am.

 

It is also the fulfilment of a lifetime’s journey, and an affirmation as to the gender in which we yearn to live. The process of change, electrolysis, hormones and for some, the many physical changes, including FFS which sets us free.

 

All of these things, fuelling the intoxicating essence, that drives the expression of femininity within us.

 

Thank you Frans, for setting me fully free.
