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!

    Sometimes people will use vulvoplasty to mean a shallow-depth vaginoplasty, I was just specifying I had full-depth (which has a longer recovery time and more risks of complications. Basically with a vulvoplasty / shallow-depth you have labia, a clit, etc. but no vaginal canal. With a full-depth vaginoplasty you have all the things a vulvoplasty provides (labia, clit, etc.) as well as the vaginal canal (as Ada points out).
