Thanks :) I'm happy with what I've got, but I'd be dumb to say it's the best results I've ever seen, and my depth is miserable. Thought it wouldn't bother me as a lesbian...but ya girl wants the strap, what can I say :(

I’m happy to have a vagina, and if this is the one I die with I’ll continue to be over the moon. But that doesn’t mean I’m not left pining for more.

Yeah, he was very nice, although it weirds me out that you only see him maybe 3-4 times in your whole stay. The nurses were lovely, and to this day I still remember them fondly. The ones that come out to the hotels were also nice, although a bit more bossy and grumpy sometimes (they were really busy, so it’s understandable). My only gripe with Chett’s performance outside of the actual surgery is he can tend to be very dismissive. Not in an unkind way, but in a frustrating way. He’s dismissive of most issues and tells you it’s fine. He’s very warm and empathetic though, which was nice. He held my hand while I fell unconscious and made sure I was ok, because I’d never gone under anaesthetic before and was freaking out a bit. He’s a nice guy, I just don’t know how I feel about his results.

Thank you, that's very kind :)

Chose Chett for price, sensation (external), looks and availability (I got booked in and under the knife within a month and half).

Do I recommend him? Hmm...tough to say. His results regarding external sensation are good. And his external work is subjectivity good too (in hindsight I’m not as big a fan, but eh). But he has a frequent habit of giving girls less depth than they expect (painful when you also have to spend the extra $800 or whatever it is for a skin graft for inside that likely doesn’t even get used anyway due to the low depth. External aesthetics are almost always quite wonky or asymmetrical too. He’s a very nice man but can be too dismissive or issues or concerns.

I may have a revision at some point, possibly for external aesthetics but mostly because I want depth badly. I also would like some form of self lubrication before orgasming (I get wet af after I cum, if it ever happens). So I may go to someone else for a Peritoneal technique revision, but it depends on logistics and most of all, cost.

My depth is shit. I had ~4” of depth when I started, and now over 2 years later I’ve got about 3”, maybe 3.5” at a push (ouch). It’s enough to get fingers into, but makes strap-on sex scary and daunting. Haven’t tried it yet (in this opening anyway). I feel like I basically got the non-vaginal labiaplasty at times with how shit I feel about my depth, and it definitely is something I initially made peace with but now has come back to really upset me fairly frequently.

Chett’s aftercare whilst in Thailand is good. After you get on the plan I would say it is...moderate to decent. It’s not great, and his dismissiveness comes into play here. But it’s serviceable.

I’ve not tried SS dilators, however are those the tapered one or the non-tapered cylindrical ones? Because if it’s the latter, Chett’s dilators he gives you are basically the same thing.

I started at 4”, it’s optimistic to say I have 3.5” now, more like 3” realistically. You think it won’t matter, but that day when you realise you want your girlfriend to look into your eyes as she penetrates you and you can’t, not without finding some 4” dildo (quite hard to find to be honest). Also, penetration is weird for me. If I do it after dilating (fingering) it’s alright, but I don’t particularly like movements in and out. But if I haven’t dilated first, fingers kinda hurt me. In fact, to be honest anything ribbed or not entirely smooth hurts or feels uncomfortable. But smooth things like dilators? Stick it in me please <3

Afraid I don’t know currently, sorry. He charged me ~$11,640 plus another ~£800 for a skin graft. Prices will likely have gone up a smidge since then.

Just...stuff. Post surgical genitals make loads of disgusting fluids for the first few months.

Thank you 😊

FYI, you are shadow banned by reddit.

1) Depends on the job. I was going to sit at desks and walk between rooms so I was fine. But I also worked part time at IKEA and I couldn’t get back to work for about 2-3 months post-op, at which point they put me on the returns desk with a stool to lean/sit on, and allowed me to wear comfier trousers than the uniform. Definitely would have been a solid 3-4 months before I felt up to anything heavy labour related, that’s for sure.

2) Sensation inside is meh. It’s there, but it’s more like the feeling of my insides being moved around if I try to wiggle my fingers about. Just sensation itself, pretty low.

3) Yes and no. Initially I tried masturbating with vibrators, thought “this is amazing, I must be doing it right”. Turned out I was just getting close and enjoying the ride (which is fine and healthy, don’t get me wrong). After a while I managed to experience a real orgasm, and...wow. I cannot express how earth shattering that was. Had to lay there for like 20-30 mins afterwords panting. It feels exactly like an old, presurgical one, but turned up to 11 and then some, with the knob broken. That being said, as I got better at getting them, my satisfaction from them has waned. I now feel very little different from my presurgical orgasms, it’s just way more time consuming and difficult to reach than before. So that’s something I’d say I’m dissatisfied with by this point. It’s possible it’s something to do with my hormones though, but since I’m with the NHS there’s absolutely nothing I can do about that, they are relatively useless for anything nuanced to do with trans healthcare. I cannot come by someone else, although I’ve only tried with my current partner. She cannot make me come, and I cannot make myself come around her without significant stress and difficulty. I think that’s a mental thing more than a physiological thing though.

Glad I could help. I dunno how I don’t have bad scarring to be honest, my scars from BA are worse than that. I used a bit of bio oil for a while, but got bored and didn’t see it doing much. Mostly just used my usual Body Shop body butter (it’s scented, so do not apply too close to the opening or inner labia). As far as I’m aware, it’s all about keeping it hydrated. Moisturise your skin ladies, gents and folks. Should do that anyway, not just for surgery.

Thanks :)

I haven’t researched enough since the surgery to firmly say I would’ve picked someone else. Other surgeons also tend to lean on the pricier side of things. That being said, the depth is my biggest regret, as I firmly believe a more capable surgeon may have been able to give me the appropriate depth. I was told it was due to swelling between the bowel and bladder, and that it was unsafe to try and make a tunnel. But that’s the first I’d heard of something like that, and considering 2 other girls I know of whilst I was at the hotel (one of three hotels) had low depth too, I think he just had a bad week/month and blamed it on my insides being uncooperative. It causes me a lot of distress to be honest, but outside of that I’m reasonably happy with the results. I’m glad to have a vagina and feel more regular and “normal” (I don’t like using that term, but it’s the most fitting to describe my feelings), but things definitely could be better I reckon. I’m currently contemplating a peritoneal revision to gain depth, but that’s a long way away.

Thank you! There’s debate here about what that is, whether it’s the urethra or leftover erectile tissue. Waiting to try peeing in the shower before I have a looksie. Would be nice to know, since the gyno wasn’t any use.

Edit: it is, in fact, not the urethra. Watched as I peed with a mirror, not a drop came from anywhere near it.

Another commenter has informed me it may not actually be my urethra, but some erectile tissue leftover. Otherwise...I dunno. Gyno was no use.

Edit: it was not, in fact, the urethra.

His regular method, non penile I believe, needed a skin graft

Removed. Rule 1,9.

Thank you, glad I could help some people :)

I didn’t much, but I didn’t ask to be fair. I just said I wanted natural looking results.
