I had a zero depth vaginoplasty with Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher 2 years ago in March. I regret my choice in surgeon immensely.
The surgery itself had minimal complications, probably because I had went zero depth instead of full depth. But the actual results have not been good, and have caused issues for me since.
Primarily, she placed my urethra right next to my clitoris. What this has meant is that my urethra sits to the side and a little underneath it. Typically, you put the urethra above the vaginal opening (or the dimple in the case of zero depth). This has led to multiple urinary tract issues, as well as causing urine to shoot to the side horizontally while peeing. It also means that she left too much of my urethra in, and it makes a U-shape internally...which meant that my doctor couldn't actually see into my bladder in a recent cystoscopy.
It's also meant that I can't fully empty my bladder when urinating, as some gets trapped in the urethra and dribbles out after... I've had to use incontinence pads for the last 2 years constantly.
The labia themselves also look...off. They look fine in certain positions...but in many others they look like wrinkly, crumpled flaps of skin...like a shriveled scrotum.
It also feels like she left too much erectile tissue in, being aroused is still sometimes slightly painful, tho it's gotten better.
Now that I know what's wrong, I'm going to have to look jnto a revision...which is a cost I don't know if I can afford now -_-
Between my issues, and the horror stories I've heard from a few other people who had full-depth, avoid her if you're getting a vaginoplasty of any sort. She recently moved from Indiana University to somewhere in Miami.
