-Most surgeons follow the WPATH Standards of Care and it is very difficult to get genital surgery without being on HRT and socially transitioned for at least 12 months (some of this has changed with the new SOC 8). Two psychiatrist letters are also required by WPATH rules. It is possible to get SRS without social transition, but probably not worth the effort if you intend to transition anytime soon. Getting SRS without HRT is more difficult, but can be done in some circumstances - if you do that you will need to go on either estrogen or testosterone afterwards to prevent serious medical problems occurring.

After SRS you have to dilate regularly, so it may be best to leave a (long) gap before other surgeries that could interfere with that schedule. Genital hair removal for SRS should be started at least a year prior to surgery, and probably more. It needs to remain clear for the entire hair growth cycle to be sure its all gone. Any remaining hair may be impossible to remove post-op. There's little research on this, but I would think electrolsys is safer option than laser for genital hair - for face it doesn't matter much of some grows back. Surgeons should be able to provide you with a drawing of the area that needs hair removal. If you remove all the hair then you won't be able to hide surgical scars post-op, should you have them. If the the surgeon says you don't need hair removal for penile inversion becaue they do it during surgery, its not true - it's not guarenteed and you are at risk if internal hair. Its more correct to say that they don't need it, but you do (ie its your problem not theirs).
FFS is not gatekept by WPATH and can be done anytime, including before HRT, but it is usually reccomended to wait for a year or two of HRT so its more clear what is required. You might find you don't want certain FFS procedures after having been on HRT for a while. Having said that, most FFS procedures are bonework which does not change on HRT, so you can choose to do it anytime. If you have FFS before facial hair removal you're likely find you won't pass until you get rid of the hair.
Breast augmentation requires one psychiatrist letter according to WPATH, but I don't think all surgeons follow that rule. You should not have BA until you have been on HRT for a while and had whatever breast growth you're going to get, otherwise augmentation can cause deformity and/or excess size. Its best not to have BA until you've been on HRT for some years as it can otherwise lead to deformity.
