Hey :)

A week ago, I made a post with photos taken 6 months after my first surgery. As I had mentioned, I had my revision earlier this week. Feel free to share your thoughts - do you think it was worth it, and do you believe the outcome will be an improvement over the previous result? I’m actually feeling quite confident.

What was changed is that the labia majora were reduced slightly further in size, and some fatty tissue was removed, as they appeared quite thick - especially when standing or sitting. In addition, the incisions were extended a bit higher up to eliminate "dog ears" at the top of the outer labia. Furthermore, some skin was excised near the vaginal opening, where a small area had grown together "internally" - something that simply didn't look very good. Also, at my request, my raphe was removed.

not happy with it but perhaps your luck will be better. anyone have any recommendations for a revision that a broke person can save up for?

I had my PI vaginoplasty yesterday at 1 PM, took about 5 and something hours. The surgeon said it was tricky to make the canal, as I had no fascia to guide himself… no idea. Other than that (and a little blood loss) he said there weren’t any complications.

Coming out of anesthesia was the hardest part, I felt nausea and I had a slight fever. I went anemic and had to receive a blood transfusion today, I feel a little more alive now lol.

On the other hand, I guess the anesthesia is wearing off and I am beginning to feel a little pressure in the surgical area..

My feet are still a little numb from the bandages, but slowly regaining sensation!

My mom is here making me company, honestly couldn’t do this without her. I can’t wait for the days to pass so I’ll feel less woozy. Being stuck in bed sucks.

Currently binge watching Friends, one of my comfort shows, on Netflix. I will be in the hospital till Sunday 18th (surgery was Wednesday Oct 14th)

The IV on my arm just came out so they’re gonna have to find another line🤕

Jejunal Graft. Already had my first orgasm this past Monday, but it was definitely too early to have it. Things hurt for a couple of days after. Worth it though. Del Corral and Dr. Lisle

Still a lot of swelling but it's slowly going away. Feel free to ask any questions, I'm an open book.

Edit: Ignore the lube I just finished dilating when I took this photo lol

Now I know genetics play a big role even in surgical outcomes, but like from the results I see here most results from body contouring surgery (even with ribs done) look extremely natural, like its a cute body but not extremely curvaceous. But then I go on X or on instagram and I see these trans women with tiny waists, big round hips and butts and it gets me wondering what are these women getting done that the rest of us arent? Is it a combining of amazing bone structure and surgery? Is it multiple rounds of body contouring?

I say this because I had a bbl a year ago and even though my body has changed and looks way different than what it was, I guess I just had different expectations from seeing all these bodies online pre op, and that got me thinking about how my body doesnt even cooperate even when I pay for it.

Hi! I’m 33 y/o and I’ve got SRS done a couple of months ago.

I’ve suffered androgenetic alopecia from when I was 16 and I’ve been using Minoxidil 4 years now.
The surgeon asked me to stop using it 2 weeks before the surgery and I haven’t used it since then.

One week after the surgery I’ve got a lot of hair loss and thinning hair and I know that is pretty common after big surgeries.

Now I still have some hair loss (not as much as before but still consistent).
My question is a bit different because I was wondering if I could stop using Minoxidil (considering that now I’ cut off the testosterone supply) and the hair loss is just temporary and caused by the surgery or if I still have to use it to mantain the hair stronger.

Hi everyone! I have been debating with my self a lot since I began transition (2.5 yrs) about having vaginoplasty, with or without canal etc. But due to resons explained before I can't take the time for the recovery that a canal requires right now. I was leaning towards zero depth but got dissuaded because if I want depth in the future I would have to go with ppt or colon plus I would have to pay two major surgeries.

Recently I'm dabbling into modeling, in the school they ask for tight black leggings for practice. So taking this into consideration I feel like an orchiectomy is the option to go right now, I think is gonna be easier to get it done in my country (may be my city) and be paid by my insurance, and recovery time can be done during sumer break.

But the thing that I don't understand is why does orchi makes your bit smaller? I already had no T, so I don't understand if my genitals are gonna get smaller overtime or is just an ilusion performed by the fact of not having the testies anymore.

Thanks to anyone who read all of this!

TLDR; Why orchi makes you genitalia smaller if T was already nuked with antiandrogens?

I’m worried it’s too pronounced to achieve a flat, female appearance. I was looking at old pictures and I’ve always seemed to possess this, even before testosterone. Will that limit my ability? Pls help

OK so the sloughing has actually begun now lol...... freaky but such a good sign! also my clit has shrunk down, but now it looks like I have 2 clits 😂 went to dab some pee after using the toilet and a whole chunk well.... sloughed off lol... new challenges ahead and im waiting on my donut pillow in the mail. 💪😆

I am planning my surgery with him but i can’t find any results online

Hi loves,

I am a 32 year old transgender woman and I have been on hormones for 3 years and 1 month.

I started dating recently and we are having a hard time even doing sex. Sex is not my decision maker, but I just think my overall experience and self acceptance would be better with the surgery.

I have yet to start laser but I need to if I want to do this. I did laser on my face and that hurt a lot, but after 15 sessions it’s gone.

I wanted to ask about your experience? Your decision making? Also about my biggest fear.. can you still climax?

If I knew you could still climax it would be a no brainer. I also want to know if there are any recommendations on a surgeon because I will not settle for less on something that is my body. I will try to get the best surgeon possible.

I hope you all are happy with the decision, and some advice and general information would be super helpful! ❤️☺️

SRS day 3. Right after removal of the package.

Everything’s ok so far and walking is waaaaaaaay easier.

hello everyone for bottom surgery my surgeon asked me to stop taking hormones one month before the operation and little bit after the surgery I was kind of scared of doing that so I asked my endocrinologist what he thinks of this and he told me I should not stop taking my hormones because it’s an obsolete thing to do for bottom surgery
Now I don’t know what to do about this situation do I stop taking them before the operation or do I keep taking them?
Thank you for the answers😚

My current list not in order is Mittermiller, Rolfes, Rahul Seth, Justine Lee, and Tommy Lui.

Am I missing any worth checking out? Who would you recommend?

UPDATE:
i thought id give you guys an update on how im recovering so far .

Hey everyone,
I am almost 6 months post-op (PI vaginoplasty with scrotal graft & extended urethral flap; had my orchiectomy back in 2022). Recently, I developed a very specific pain issue and wanted to ask if anyone here has experienced something similar and how you managed to resolve it.

The symptoms:
1. Sharp pain during orgasm: Exactly at the moment of orgasm, I get an intense, sharp pulling/stabbing pain on the right side (around the vestibule / pubic bone area) shooting straight up into my lower right abdomen. My first 2–3 orgasms post-op were completely fine and pain-free, but then this suddenly started and now happens every single time, making orgasm very unpleasant.

1. Dull ache throughout the day: Even without any sexual arousal, I often feel a dull, dragging ache in that exact same spot deep in my right groin. It feels eerily identical to the pre-orchi visceral pain of getting hit in the testicle, radiating up into the groin/flank.

Surgical context:
The erectile tissue stumps (corpora cavernosa) were anchored to the pubic bone (pecten ossis pubis), and a surgical Blake drain exited through my right groin post-op (close to where the old spermatic cord stump from my 2022 orchi sits). My guess is either scar tissue tension/suture reaction at the bone anchor, nerve entrapment/irritation (like the ilioinguinal or genitofemoral nerve), or a hypertonic pelvic floor muscle spasm pulling on those structures.

My questions for you:
Has anyone experienced this kind of pain during orgasm or a dull testicular-like ache in the groin months after vaginoplasty?

What ended up being the actual cause for you (nerve irritation, scar tissue/deep sutures, pelvic floor tension)?
What helped you resolve or treat it (pelvic floor physical therapy, trigger point/nerve block injections, massage, or a minor surgical revision)?

Thank you so much for sharing any insights or experiences!

i've posted a lot about this but still only got one good lead so i'm posting again :P i'm looking for anyone in massachusetts or a nearby state who successfully gotten a rhinoplasty to preserve the shape of a more straight or hooked nose while still making it smaller or otherwise more feminine. i don't want one of those little button noses! i have my mother's nose, and i want it to stay that way :)

my one good lead is doctor branko bojovic (bojović? bojovich?)

A month ago i 545cc implants done. This was after having a DDD or so naturally. But becasue of being a big lady. They looked like B cups on me physically. That's why I seeked out surgery. I wanted to look more even.

Now I get it give it time blah blah, and I also understand they always can't put bigger in. I while I got 545 according to me card. Im looking at them like this is not what I wanted. I told her a I would be happy between 600-700cc.

I can all ready tell I won't be happy with these. I had no say in the size. I woke up with them, and have been pissed since, and since i used my states insurance. There is no redo's unless I pay. So, yea while im "giving them time." Im all ready Looking at other options. So, knowing thay I'll have to pay any way. I feel like I wasted my time.

I think I've decided I would like to pursue some sort of colon based procedure. Littleton and Stiller sound good but I can get it in network in California at Cedars-Sinai with Dr. Garcia or Dr. Nasseri. Anyone know about their aesthetics, wait times, and bedside manner?

Min Jun is also in network, but the wait times seem terrible and I think with adhd I don't have to worry as much about dilating long term with a colon based approach. Am I crazy for just not going with him? I have people I could stay with in the bay area, and I live in Lisbon which is why I was thinking about littleton. Celtik is also one I was considering as an alternative to Jun.

Hi everyone! I am finishing up my undergrad degree and am taking a gap year before starting graduate school in 2028. I need FFS but I live in Arkansas which means the state explicitly excludes FFS from gender affirming care and the vast majority of insurances do the same.

Starbucks, notably, still mentions coverage for gender affirming surgeries often considered cosmetic by other providers. There was some kind of change in 2022 which worsened this coverage, but as I understand the company still works alongside insurance to provide access.

I wanted to see if anyone who knows how providers/gender affirming care works for starbucks in the red states could give me some advice on whether or not this is realistic. Thanks for any help!

Looking for long-term patients of Dr Narendra Kaushik/Olmec or Dr Richie Gupta/Fortis, particularly vaginoplasty patients 1+ year postop. I'm considering surgery next year and would really appreciate hearing from anyone willing to share their experience privately. Positive, negative or mixed experiences all welcome. I'm particularly interested in sensation/orgasm, aesthetics, depth, dilation burden, lubrication/discharge, complications/revisions and how the surgeon/team handled problems. DM's Welcome or feel free to reply here too! Do you know any other long-term Kaushik patients who might be comfortable talking to me privately? thanks so much this really means alot.
