Here are some basic facts:
- method was penile inversion
- I opted for full-depth rather than a vulvoplasty
- surgery took 3 hours, though recovery took another hour
- I went under general anaesthesia and had to be intubated and put on a ventilator
- I’m currently admitted in the hospital and bed bound, discharge is scheduled for Friday
- so far pain is between 1 and 3 for me, most of the time it’s between a 0 and 1.
Ask me anything!
/r/Transgender_Surgeries and https://www.transbucket.com/ both have photos of results from specific surgeons, so I spent time on the internet researching who was recommended.
I also happen to live in the southeast, and people drive from all over the southeast to go to this surgeon (like driving 8+ hours from other states), and in my local trans community I knew several people who had this surgeon and had great results - so it was sorta my only option in a way - the surgeon was within driving distance, and otherwise I would have had to fly to go to a different surgeon (like those in Thailand).
But basically just reading every review of the surgeon and looking at their results, and then I had a consult and asked more questions to confirm.
