Yep, this is how I looked right when my packing was taken off!

I have a feeling it was a revision and they’re bsing.

Probably the best looking 1 week result I ever seen.

How much it costs?

I’m unsure. I live in NYC and it was paid 100% through Medicaid.

Yes, I am at full-depth and should be self-lubricating. It is one-step penile inversion vaginoplasty. I dilated at 5 dots this morning.

Holy shit really? Self lubricating, depth, and that healed at 1 week??? This has to be like the ultimate best case scenario

When I first met with Avanassian for my consultation, I asked about self-lubrication. The peritoneum technique was invented by Jess Ting (also of Mount Sinai), and Avanassian studied under Ting and Marci Bowers.

At my consultation I asked about that procedure, but she said I will not be a candidate for that specific procedure. She did say that she can use a new technique of using tissue already in the penis that is self-lubricating. I am not complete on the specifics, but that is what method I used.

AFAIK she would have been referring to the Tunica Vaginalis which is similar tissue to the peritoneum, but located in the scrotum. Essentially, instead of just using a scrotal skin graft to line the vault, they use the tunica to supplement the graft.

Looks incredible for one week! Usually there’s much more swelling around that time.

I think it’s bs. No visible drain exit wounds - no bruises- and the skin is already tinted dark around the entry. - coming from someone one week post op.

The Mt Sinai surgeons use wound vacs, not drains, and not everyone bruises. I had a friend stay with me after her surgery there and this is about where she was at one week.

Not even wittenburg or chettawut produce these kinds of results. Search transgender surgeries subreddit and see all of their 1-2 month post op pictures. This surgeon has only 70 surgeries under her belt. I highly doubt she was not discharging and her labia minora was flesh toned and her clitoris was that deep set. If it’s real I’m ecstatic for the sake of everyone else who had to go through this. Very atypical result

I have a friend whose surgery was seriously botched by Wittenburg, so I don’t know why you’re holding that surgeon up as some kind of paragon. I’m telling you that I have seen results comparable to this in real life. I’ve also seen results from several other surgeons, including Bowers, Brassard, and Bluebond-Langner, so I’m not uninformed.

We all have a friend who’s been botched - even brassard had a nickname of being a butcher and my friends (5) and I couldn’t be happier with him. Some of my friends healed amazing in a week but it was still not like this. It’s not about being on a pedestal it’s about realism with expectation and they are both highly experienced. This surgeon in this post has done only 70 primary which is how many Brassard pumps out in a month since (as far back as I’ve seen others write 1999). Results like this I have never seen. If you can link to other one week post ops that look like this I’d be happy to look. Surgeon boosting and bashing and misrepresentation of results is a popular thing especially among Facebook groups.

I don’t even have a horse in this race, as I haven’t gotten and won’t be getting this surgery. All I’m doing is providing more anecdotal evidence, just like the OP.

For sure, I just haven’t seen anything like this yet and would like to keep expectations real.

That doesn’t prove it’s not a revision, had you fact checked.

Oh stop. Jeez. Every surgery is different. Just because her result looks great doesn’t mean it’s bs.

So does that mean I’m not allowed an opinion now? You seem to be pretty happy with yours!

No you’re allowed an opinion, just people may not agree with it.

I didn’t expect you to, nor did I tell you to stop having one. That’s the difference.

At the risk of sounding like a weirdo, I think it’s beautiful. And not sexually or anything I just mean that is fricken fantastic because there’s usually tons of sweeping and stuff. Congrats btw!

Good gods, that looks amazing. Like, I couldn’t think of how it could be better tbh. If it looks this good now, I can only imagine how you’ll fare in about eight months.

Something about this seems off. Your labia minora is fully healed , and there is no blood drain exit wound visible - which I still have 1 week post op. I think you got a revision of some kind. Doesn’t seem possible. Proof or I call BS

You can talk to Dr. Avanassian personally, but I doubt she is going to discuss my medical information with you. What do I have to say, other surgeons have to step up their game. 🤷‍♀️

So where was your drain? Where was the gauze stitched onto?

You’re seriously incompetent. The previous post shows a catheter, not a blood drain. External gauze is what I’m referring to. You don’t even know the difference between a stent and cause so settle the fuck down.

And you talking to down to me in broken words and exclaiming Jesus isn’t condescending??? Lmaoo. Okay.. hypocrite much. There are stitches holding a stent, blood drain and a catheter that is removed day 4-7 in a day by day process. Those suture marks don’t disappear overnight. I’m allowed to be skeptical. And I am a trans person, why am I gonna coddle someone?

Im glad you find it hysterical, because not believing everything on the internet or having doubts or questions - which you never answered other than telling other surgeons to “step their game up”. You’re really immature and I’m so happy that your pussy looks like she’s 89 and tired.

Going to jump in here. You're generalizing what many surgeons do to being what all surgeons do.

I went to a different surgeon, and I didn't have a sutured in place stent or external dressing either.

My surgeon uses loose gauze for packing, friction keeps it in. Getting it out is a matter of pulling on the tail of gauze, and is a really interesting sensation of something unfolding inside you. He also uses an adhesive outer dressing, so no sutures there either.

Having said that, I looked more bruised than she does, but I also had a clot in my drain, so one of my majora didn't drain properly and looked pretty funky. The other majora looked more or less like hers.

My incisions didn't look as healed as hers, and some of my sutures were more visible, but that could be down to individual variation.
