So, recently I heard that the penis has to be a decent size in order to go through with srs/grs. Though I'm skeptical about this, I'm wanting this cleared out since I do wanna get SRS later on but with this new information I might be unable to.

So is it true that the penis has to be a certain length inorder to get SRS? Only reason you migth even need the length is for the skin is what I'm guessing, but I don't know.

Size can make things easier for penile inversion, but even if there is too little skin to use grafts from other places or other techniques like using part of the colon can be done.

So size of the penis is not important with SRS?

Importance is debatable. If you don't need to use a graft or colon tissue that means less things to go wrong and an easier recovery, but Dr. Stiller the doctor I used would do either if necessary, but made it clear that using the penis skin was the preferred option.

If you don't have much size and go to a surgeon who can't deal with it you'll have very little depth.

Decent like developed adult size. People with higher risk are those who started before developing.

Depends on procedure and doctor, but for penile inversion there are some doctors who prescribe topical testosterone to get the penis as big and strong as possible prior to the surgery so they have more to work with.

It depends on the surgeon and technique they use.

Nope. Dr Burin in Bangkok used stomach skin. Now I have a c-section scar for added realism

It’s about 7 inches and has almost faded at the 3 month mark. I think it will be gone completely by 6 months. They guy is pretty amazing at what he does. I’m fat anyway so he managed to hide it.

I’ll be impressed if it actually disappears completely. It would be good if you could make a 1 year update. Not many people do those.

Are you trying silicone gel on it? That’s supposed to help.

Is the scar under the panty line or higher up?

Just under the panty line. I haven’t felt the need to use oil because it’s faded so well. That said I’ve also healed quickly over all as well

There can be a number of viewpoints to this.

Many US surgeons use additional skin grafts if necessary, some use peritoneal tissue for example. Examples for the latter might be Bluebond-Lagner and Wittenberg.

And it may be possible to do a few things that may help with less shrinkage. Some people stretch the part regularly in a towel. Its a recipe from surgeons of the times of standard PI and some surgeons recommend it still.

There are also various methods to deal with shrinkage, here a few were mentioned.
