Title: Metoidioplasty Growth Questions
Post by: NikFtM on July 02, 2017, 11:35:36 PM
So I have been thinking about which surgery to get eventually to end my surgical transition, and I've decided on metoidioplasty for the most part, but I do have some questions regarding it:
1. If you (or someone else you know of) has tried pumping or cream, has it worked for any growth?
2. I have about 1 inch or a little under, and I'm pre t. I don't mean to ask stupid questions, but does that mean I have a higher chance of growing more, or at least average? (I figured because of genetics, but it might also be my sleep deprived brain talking). My family, from what I heard, is quite above average, but I wouldn't want to dig in every individual's pants, as that would make someone pretty uncomfortable.
I want to steer away from phalloplasty because I don't really want to get the implant, but I'll wait until I'm on t for a year or two before I make any final decisions. I figured it would be wise to ask these questions ahead of time, mostly because it's never too early to plan ahead!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Following to see the answers on this!

That's what I've been worried about. I originally was thinking I will go with metoidioplasty because it's more natural and I hear phalloplasty leaves pretty big scars and takes several surgeries to complete. I also hear that you can have loss of sensation with phalloplasty....

I'm really looking forward to some feedback on this post!

That being said....I know you can pump your female anatomy which BECOMES you penis....would doing this pre and during T help as well to increase / encourage growth before surgery?

That is a good question. I'm pretty sure I'll probably pump and use cream right after top surgery, but it is good to know if it'll actually help. I do know that some doctors recommend pumping 6 months before and 6 months after surgery.
