Whoever did that to you needs to lose their license!!
he needs to get his fucking hands chopped off lmao
Yeah I hate this word when it comes to trans surgeries but this is mutilation short and sweet. Are you even able to be intimate? Like did this surgery improve your life in any way?
I suggest just messaging surgeons and asking around
I can still orgasm if I masturbate but I can't have sex with it. when I took that picture with the dilator it hurt like crazy and I bled a little. I only got it so I didn't always have to do anal and I can't do PiV so nah it hasn't really improved my life, it's actually really fucked it up when you consider the amount of pain and how much I want to 41% myself every time I see it.
Don't ! Your surgery can be corrected. I recommend Dr. Bluebond-Langner. She did mine and visually it looks nice, I can't promise she will be able to fix your depht sitaution because I to lost a ton of depth and can now barely get to the second dot on the dilator. It is also uncomfortable to have sex and does not feel good. I have pics. DM me if you would like to see and I can help you in anyway. Also if you need to talk. I would also suggest seeing a therapist or finding someone you could talk to honestly who has empathy and understands your sitaution, especially if your feeling the way you said you are in your comment.
oh dw I'm not actually gonna off myself, it's just hyperbolic. yeah I might see a shrink, just to get letters. I don't actually feel the need for one tbh, I'm doing as well as I think I can be doing given my circumstances
Hi ok as long as you were just exaggerating to express how upset you feel. Trust me this is fixable, all though unfortunate because these surgeries are invasive, and traumatizing to mind and body. The good thing is you have plenty of skin to still use and that is better then not having enough. Just try to think in terms of this all being temporary and soon to be corrected. Please keep us posted. 🫂
Which technique did you had? I think you can solve the depth problem with colon or ppv or jejuneal
I had pi. I am looking at colon for revisions with either Theerapong or PAI
During revisions you can get additional peritoneal added to increase depth, not everyone will do it and chances are it wont be listed on their site so just ask the surgeon during the consultation if you want that. The peritoneum also regenerates extremely quickly so if you do have problems with depth again you can add depth later but its a whole new recovery each time and it increases risk of peritoneal cancer after each time id like to add that its a very very minuet increase but it is there
Omg?! Did you have a PPT procedure done? I was considering having surgery with her.
I am not sure what PPT is. I have heard of this procedure talked about a lot. Can you explian what it is and how it is done. I did Penis inversion with peritoneal graft robitically assisted in 2019 with RBL.
I see. I think it’s penile inversion and PPT (peritoneal pull through) combined. Worrying to hear you’ve had issues with depth, most people claim the PPT helps prevent that.
Hi I didn't have PPT . I had penile inversion with peritoneal graft. They went through my belly button to remove peritoneal tissue to use to create a graft to use to lengthen canal.i think PPT is a different procedure.
That’s quite literally PPT. The penile inversion is always part of it. By not doing a full peritoneal graft it prevents over-wetness.
child comments hidden
That’s horrible hun. I’m so sorry that this has happened to you, your surgeon needs to be arrested
Botched is a more appropriate term.
nah mutilation is pretty fucking apt
Sticking to the definition I would say mutilation is appropriate here
Who did this to you so we can all know to avoid them?
Praful Reminini in Washington D.C. according to another post
Omg I was gonna go to him for my revision but I just didnt feel his vibe. So I went to Dr Del Coral without no regrets!
I’m thinking of going to him, just scheduled a consult. Do you mind if I message you with some questions?
I've had a couple of friends go through Reminini. For the most part, their results were okay, but a couple of things I was either told by them or noticed first-hand:
Neither of them had to do any kind of laser hair removal or electrolysis before the surgery, because "the follicles get scraped away anyway". They both have a missed hair or two in their vagina and need to have that addressed.
Both of their urethras gradually drifted south, to the point where they mentioned that people often mistake it for their vagina. One of the friends gave up on her PT after a while, so I suspected it had something to do with that—but the other was very good about it, so it sounds like a problem with the surgery and not PT.
Ain't no way that's a Ramineni job. Like he ain't no DaVinci but I have a hard time believing this.
Right I'm not going to discredit the OP if that's truly the person they went to, but based on my personal results and the results of other people that went to him; this is far off from his usual.
Don't get me wrong, I've got my gripes about my coochie, but as far as appearances are concerned. None. It's aesthetically pleasing. My issues are literally.
-Depth
-According to Del Coral during my consult, skin healed over my clit (likely due to the fact that Dr. R doesn't do clit hoods at the time of vaginoplasty)
I meannnnn that's about it for me personally.
I've thought about this a lot since my response. And my guess is it was a really bad tissue fusion situation, which isn't entirely on the surgeon. Though I know a lot of people that don't have a labia minora (myself included) because of possible fusing. Like at the very bottom i can feel where the tissue wants to go in to different directions but up top it's mono.
Ramineni didn't even make me a hood when I went in for my revision...and it was on the list!
I appreciate the man, he set me down on a path that will lead to where I need to be but damn I'm so frustrated with him.
He reduced only the left side of my majora (both needed reduced) Labiaplasty where are you?, cause there is litterally no difference. There was like some stitching kinda but nothing that would lead to a hood (also didn't infuse my clit) And he was pose to cuterize the granulation tissue and left that.
He did fix the depth though. So I can atleast use it. But right now I'm eyeing a 2nd revision here in Chicago...to do what was supposed to be done last time.
I feel better about things, but a 3rd surgery should have been about tweaks not this.
I am far outside most surgeons scope so atleast having him do what he did does allow me to have external corrections as that's less scary for surgeons but I'll be around 2yrs of healing when I can get in for the 3rd procedure which is a long time. Surgeon wants me to lose some weight, if I lose enough (as much as I dislike this) I may just swap for a sigmoid
[removed]
i have a ton of empathy for you, but what the fuck is this? takes zero fucking seconds to not be a racist cunt.
I'm sorry for your experience but calling him a racial slur is fucking wild and gross
Minus the racial slur(yes very disgusting) Dr. Ramenini and most other Dr's in USA always seem to make the most botched looking coochies....
I heard from someone else that some woman in Colorado does a good job, but I forgot her name. Hope someone remembers and responds to this comment.
The post op photos looked incredibly natural.
Dr stiller in Spokane Washington is good too. The one in Colorado I've heard of her, but sadly I cannot remember her name right now.
Dr Hyer is one of the 2 surgeons in Colorado. I’ve heard mixed things about her. I got mine with the other Colorado surgeon - Dr Kaoutzanis and had a great outcome
I've heard good things about Dr. Kaoutzanis. The only other surgeon I know of is Hyer. She butchered one of my friends and seems to have consistent results like it.
I hated living in Spokane Washington 😂🤣. I call it Ala-Washington 🤣. It's Alabama but freezing cold and always raining. I guess there's one good thing about that place after all then, and that's Dr Stiller. I'll look them up!
He did my surgery like 5 or 6 years ago. Didn't come out visually perfect but overall I'm pretty damn happy about everything. Sensation is great and I avoided all the major complications.
I think he's gotten better, atleast the photos in here seems to say so
Yap!!! From my research it was the best option my insurance could cover, getting it done mid-late 2026
Good luck! That's the time I'm hoping to get mine done too! Looking at having my consultation soon.
Her name is Dr. Marci Bowers, I believe.
Dr. Marci Bowers. Be careful with her to. Have heard different things. Dr. Rachel Bluebond-Langner did mine, I to experienced "lots of loss of depth"
Katherine Gast in Wisconsin is amazing she installed my ex-girlfriend's gina
Have you considered pursuing a medical malpractice claim?
She Seriously Should
it was in 2018 so I think it's too late. plus that'd mean showing this in court attached to my face and I don't want that humiliation
Exactly if you don't want to do it you don't have to. If you need support and encouragement we are here for it.
Might help him lose his license tho, stop this happening to anyone else
I don't think I can deal with that tbh. I'm not a strong enough person to come forward with this one and attach my face to this fucking horror show for a courtroom full of people. this would be too much shame for me I think.
Not all lawsuits are decided by jury
No one has ever won a lawsuit for this, anywhere.
Damn how come?
Someone in the USA who tried said, as far as I recall, it’s because there’s no medical standard to measure against for this kind of surgery. No professional bodies either. Seems ridiculous, but no one has won and there’s far worse cases than this.
I’ve not looked, but I’m sure there’s plenty of winning cases for other types of surgery.

Surgery is generally informed consent, so that’s not it.
Yes SOL expired but you can still file a malpractice claim through the Medical Board. That in itself is headache enough for him to rethink his ways. If you’re successful, he can get suspended or his license revoked. Anonymity can be preserved. I get you’re not strong but imagine if this happened to your sister and you could’ve avoided it….
Omg you're in this situation since 2018?
Wish it was otherwise, but you have it right about it being too late to file a claim. In Washington DC, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits is three years from the time of malpractice injury. You deserve justice on this anyway. But I totally understand your need to just move on and focus on healing. May your healing be speedy and everything you want. Hugs.
Best thing to do is inform as many people as possible about this within the community
You could consider going to Del Corral - does colon based depth revisions as well as nice external aesthetics.
And jejunum
Really? I thought Just littleton Sanguan kunaporn and a surgeon in India did this technique.
where is he located?
Baltimore, Maryland. Link: https://www.medstarhealth.org/doctors/gabriel-alfonso-del-corral-md
What a papi tho!
Look up all the surgeons people mention in the wiki here. I already gave you a link.
Dr Theerapong has been getting good reviews for this in recent years.
https://old.reddit.com/r/TransSurgeriesWiki/wiki/srs/thailand#wiki_teerapong_poonyakariyagorn
You must use a web browser to view that. Do not use a reddit app or you won’t see all of it.
Would you mind naming your surgeon?
tysm. the initial surgeon was Praful Ramineni in Washington DC
That is wild, what happened post surgery? I’ve seen him get some really really good results. I had him as my surgeon and I’m happy with the results I have. I hope you find someone to help you soon.
I dunno. I had the initial surgery in the fall of 2018, that was a total disaster, then a revision (if you can call it that) in spring 2019 and that's what you're seeing now.
What do you mean you don’t know? I have a hard time wrapping my head around your assertion that you left the OR with it in this state. It looks like wherever the vestibule is anchored, it broke loose and fell down/out. Can you tell us more?
I had pieces come unattached, he never made any proper labia, I have no visible clit, there's way too much erectile tissue left so if I get horny it just becomes this amorphous puffy mass, basically the whole thing is a disaster. I'm sorry if I'm doing a bad job explaining things, I was really doped up at the time obvi and I never went back to him after
That is terrible and I'm sorry you had to go thru it. No doubt with the tissue left, whoever does the revision will have plenty to work with and craft a suitable result!
theerapong, from my extensive research over the course of a year, is very good at revisions.
Can I DM you? I have questions about your experience.
I’m from the DC area, thank god I’m not going with him
Can you explain me out to do it? Since when a try the content Is 18+ and It redirect me in the app..
I don’t know. I don’t use the app. But you can log into reddit via the website. Or use a computer.
I don’t think you can research properly using an app.
I looked closely at it over and over again, I still don't compute what he actually tried to do. Looks like he didn't have had much time, or he just hates transpersons or it was his last day.
Im sorry you have to go through this💞
If you'd consider non-U.S. surgeons, I've heard great things about Marcio Littleton's revision work.
I am not seeing another American doctor. I have seen too many horror stories and I'm not dealing with their wait lists, I'm pretty set on Thailand I think but I'll look into this other guy
Understood. From what I understand, revision is one of Littleton's specialties and his aesthetics are great, both as the initial surgery and when revising. Well known and sought after in Brazil; he also operates in Portugal and I think sometimes Milan. I've also heard fantastic things about his function.
I saw someone that saw him and they seemed to have really good results (never been with a cis woman so can't really compare) but thank you, I'll look into him as well.
I’d make sure you pick someone with as many reviews as possible, especially of revisions, and with a low rate of complaints. It’s harder at this point.
Just to say, there are a few sites online that have a gallery of cis vulvas so you can see the range of different shapes/textures/sizes ect of things that vulvas can have so you can compare more accurately if you're interested in that. https://www.labialibrary.org.au/labia_gallery/
This one is the best and most in depth I've seen https://www.scribd.com/document/474097628/Classification-of-the-anatomical-variation-in-female-external-genitalia
Best of luck to you with your revision
I think that you should consider a consultation with Dr. Meltzer. Here is my reasoning:
- he has done more surgeries than anyone else in the US and has been doing them for longer than anyone else
- he does many revisions and revision consultations
- he has quite literally seen it all before, no matter what it is
- if he believes that he is not the best person to revise your surgery (due to his technique or any other reason), he will have no problem telling you and will know who the best person is. He's not hurting for patients and knows very well what he does and who it works for.
- he's covered by most insurances and wait times aren't too bad.
- if he does do your revision his results are very consistent and methodically done. He won't attempt it if he isn't confident about the outcome he can achieve.
In short, what you need is someone safe, consistent, and experienced in order to deal with this. In the US, Meltzer would seem to be the best choice for that.
And, best of luck to you. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. My partner had major complications and it is a heart rending journey to go through.
fair enough. I'll give him a look
align surgical that's the one I went to, and they had a really good result, good enough, my gynecologist didn't realize I was trans, and I had to explain it to them 😅
I highly recommend Align. They do great work overall.
I, too, am sorry you’ve had to go through this. And so young. I firmly believe that plastic surgeons should not be doing these cases alone. There should always be a reconstructive urologist involved. Their training is much more specific to the pelvis and the plumbing involved there. Their training in nerves is specific to that area also. I don’t know where you live but Dr. Mcclung in Columbus Ohio could fix this for you. After 20 years of college he got his start at Ohio State University as a reconstructive urologist and then started correcting other peoples’ botched bottom surgeries. Now he has his own practice in Columbus performing bottom surgery. He has never had a patient who could not achieve orgasm after surgery. He is widely published in his field. And he’s so nice.
Theerapong does good work, he also has a good few revisions under his belt. I'm booked with him for next march, I'm sure he'd be able to help you.
That is criminal... seriously, there needs to be a system in place to prosecute given results like this.. no excuse... I understand complications can happen, that's the nature of all surgeries.. but this is pure negligence and lack of skill.
I honestly can't conceive of how the fuck this was done to you. I'm so sorry. With that said, I'm very happy with my results from Dr. O'Brien-Coon and Dr. Boysen at MGH Brigham in Boston, MA. I don't think the problem's that your surgeon's an American: the problem is that he shouldn't have been allowed to operate on a small laceration, let alone a complex surgery like this.
Love love love Dr Boysen and Dr Coon. I’m FTM, I’ve been a patient of theirs for almost 2 years now undergoing complex revision / repair work after my original surgery at Mass General. I know many other folks that are also working with them for complex revision work that other surgeons are not skilled enough to tackle.
Must appreciate your strength and positivity in the middle of all these. Sometimes during difficult times we all need that hope and positivity to guide. From my experience and analysis(not others experience or somewhere I read ) I would suggest as you selected Dr Thee and Amani for the first line of consultation and see how you can take it forward! Again sorry to hear you have to go through all these ! I think you found the right choice already to get this sorted. Sigmoid might be the choice.
Dr Ley in San Francisco would be able to help you!
So very very sorry this happened to you. I had a good result from him, but yours is definitely botched Look really hard at people who do revision surgery. The Thai surgeon's like those listed above have a wealth of experience which you need. Best wishes to you.
I went to him too, and from what i heard, it's a very hit or miss on what you end up with!
I had a small dehiscense exactly like yours. It healed well. My result looks like I was born wi/h her. You will be happy .
Im honestly happy now, i feel rather fortunate with my results, and im excited to see them heal more!
I am a physician and have examined thousands of other women. Listen to your body. Heal well. It will look very cis and normal.
this is why we need to stop rushing onto get bottom surgery without researching surgeons I’d look at a surgeon that performs laproscopic intestinal. I have it and it’s a good surgery with dr Miro or peritoneal with Dr pang in SF aesthetically dr pang is a great option fortunately you have a lot of skin. Dr Miro is great at removing erectile tissue you could even consider both.
Sorrrrry, I didn’t mean to offend!
no offense taken haha. I'm just wary of American surgeons, I've heard way too many horror stories about them, and specifically about Bowers
I went to dr min Jun in San Francisco. It’s American but he’s fucking amazing (don’t mind April if she starts shouting again, she’s nuts). I am so happy with my results and so is everyone else I know who’s seen him.
what was your wait time like ?
I am not getting a revision....but I got a surgery date for mid-may 2026.
My first surgery he wasn’t as busy. Second one for a minor revision was a few months. Assuming your canal is fine, it honestly wouldn’t be too bad.
I have no canal. it's an inch deep at most and bleeds whenever anything gets put in it.
Well if your goal is to do something about that my guess is full ppt would help.
If Thailand isn’t an option, there’s Dr. Kuylhee Kim in Seoul South Korea. She started the LGBTQ+ center there. LGBTQ+ Center But it would be hard to find reviews about her since she treats predominantly the Korean population. She’s a board certified plastic surgeon, micro surgeon, and WPATH certified. She’s been doing bottom surgery for the past few years. Feel free to message me if you’d like more information.
I'm not a doc but i think your case Is very fixable..so have faith. You probably have too much erectile tissue left. Which technique Is it?
pi
Jess Ting at Mt Sinai NYC has done corrective surgeries. I love the work he did for me.
I looked up the surgeon, guy looks like hes never seen pussy before, which explains alot
oh girl he fucked you UP..
no shit
who can I see about revisions?
I'm so sorry you are going through this.
Dr. Ley (San Francisco) does labiaplasty on patients from other surgeons. I just had a consult with her and was told she has availability as on mid May this year.
Dr. McGinn (eastern Pennsylvania) also does labiaplasty on patients from other surgeons. I didn't do a full consult with her, but when I talked to her office they said her wait list was pretty short because she doesn't do in-network insurance.
Sister. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Dr Burin or theerapong will definitely help you out. You have nice amount of skin there , lots to work with. They will make it beautiful for you. While there opt for the sigmoid revision You’ll have depth and be self lubricating . You have lots to work with and I think your final revision will be beautiful. Please keep us posted with who you chose and hopefully your post op photos. To add to all of it , the bedside manner in Thailand is exceptional. You will feelike the queen you are and also the energy both spiritual and emotional in Thailand is so beautiful. I know your experience will be fantastic
I‘m sorry that you had to go thru this /: don‘t know if it‘s any helpful, but to me it seems like you have enough tissue around the vulva to be deepening your canal in the revision. The puffiness can be fixed by removing the erectile tissue. I whish you the best surgeon! You got this, try to remember that this is not a lost case & deserve the best!
This is wild bc I went to Ramineni in 2021 and had a much better result. I can see some similarities, like the clit looks similar just not as long, but it really is wild that there can be so much variation in results. I'm so sorry this happened. Was there any clarification? It looks like he just didn't even try to give you labia.
I dunno. I looked at your account and you look fine so I guess he just fucked up with me. fuck me I guess
yeah, but then he should owe you a free revision. I know the confrontation is not something you wanna go through, and I understand, but you do deserve it.
I'd rather not see him again.
This isn't normal you need to sue this doctor that's messed up I'm sorry I hope you can get that fixed I can't imagine how your feeling about this 😢
Check out Theerapong in Thailand he’s very good with revisions
You can Look by the Dr Lubos Klinik from München Germany.
Theerapong did my surgery (original, no revision) and I think he would do well to fix you up. I can't be certain what he can do, but just trust him with the process and he will make the best possible that he can with what's available. I'm sorry you had to go through such a rough experience and wish you the best to get the results you deserve!
Go to lubos Klinik in Munich Germany!! This are the best
Wow. I am so sorry someone did that to you, you need to see a lawyer. That surgeon needs to be held accountable
Go to Dr. Del Coral. He did my revision from Dr Sibh Gallagher. She had fucked me up! And Dr. Del Coral saved my life, an fixed me. I got the pertineal technique
There is a dr in India that does what's called ppv vaginoplasty. Peritaneum pull through method. I recommend looking into that option if heals correctly would have full depth and after first year no dilation needed.
Who did this?
Ramineni in DC
Thank you, I’m so sorry they did this to you. You will find help, and it will get better! I wish you good luck and happiness in the future!
I know a few people have gone to Dr. Ley in SF for revisions. I’m going to her for my initial surgery in a month. Her aesthetics are great.
I really hope you get a good doctor this time.sending hugs and lots of luck
I would advice consulting Dr. Burin (PAI Clinic in Bangkok) he does operate for restauration and fix
tysm. will be reaching out to him as well. from my understanding Bangkok is really the best place to go for this thing, really kicking myself for not doing it in the first place.
Don’t blame yourself, please. This is not your fault, you did the best you could in that moment. Surgeons in Bangkok use to operate a lot and transgender women is more accepted. This is why whey work better for this surgery. Prior to operate again, please ask to see pictures and if possible meet real patients. 🫶
I was 18 and stupid. my parents have a pretty racist image of Thailand and basically think it's all just skeevy ladyboys and sex tourists and stuff so they didn't want me to go there and I didn't do enough research about American stuff.
That’s ok darling. Start to seek informations about revision surgery in Thailand. You are brave
Don’t be kicking yourself. Having SRS in your home country was a good decision, but the doctor let you down. For example I had my SRS in Thailand and I got the worst result imaginable. It’s really luck of the draw
With that thinking you’ll end up in trouble again. You should be very careful choosing your surgeon, and countries are not surgeons. You went to a surgeon with a lot of complaints. That’s not luck.
I'm so sorry sister. Try Dr. Sanguan Kunaporn in Thailand, he will fix your vagina.
I think he’s retiring soon.
Is this the work of the of the Pennsylvania tumor?
who?
Rumer
Id suggest Marci Bowers. She does quite a few revision surgeries, and can definitely create a normal looking labia for you. TBH, id like to think that one revision would be sufficient, but it could take two.
Regarding Bowers for revision, Hannah Simpson did that. Have a read of this post
Her site with the photos seems to be down, but just in case it comes back
http://hannahsimpson.com/Surgery
It’s quite possibly the worst I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something.
no fucking way am I letting an American surgeon, especially Bowers, anywhere near my junk again.
There are many American surgeons that are good. I'm sure there are Thai surgeons that are bad, we probably don't hear about them. I really don't buy into this idea that Thai surgeons are objectively superior.
Dr Marci Bowers in San Francisco does really good reconstructive work
she has a long list of very upset clients.
Upset about what ?
