Is everything looking okay? I have zero experiences with vaginas. Does it still look swollen and will it continue to change as I heal more? 4 months post op with Chet

I’d listen to his advice re. spreading labia wide during early recovery, as it can potentially damage/change structure.

You can put strain on the stitches potentially causing ruptures or tears.

At 4 months, stitches should be completely gone and healing should be well underway.

But yeah, listen to your surgeon for the final say.

I had my surgery with Chettawut in July ‘17. I’d say that it took about a year for it to really settle down to where it eventually was.

Do you have sensitive skin? I’d ask him about the redness. I’m about three months out and still have some of that myself.

afab person here. I've seen more "cis" vaginas than post op ones, and it looks like a vag to me

The inner tissue actually converts slowly into mucosal tissue, and participates in regulating the microbiome. Long term studies have pointed to completely normal microbiomes in constructed vaginas as in natal vaginas. It can be difficult during the first year, but afterwards things tend to stabilize.

It may have to do with your posting history, which has a lot of red flags. This combined with stating a question based off an incorrect fact and a transphobic talking point...well lets just say it doesnt speak to you being here in good faith.
