Awww thanks Jenny!
Oh and I meant it about you being so quick and efficient with your transition...well done for being so decisive and just getting things done..I really admire you for that. I, on the other hand, started transition and HRT over 4 years ago and have reeaaaaally taken my time (too much with hindsight!) with most steps along the way due to being one of the most indecisive tossers on the planet, always worried I'll regret something if I go in too quickly. Promised myself this year I was gonna get myself well on the way to getting all the other major steps done tho...you are someone I'm looking up to a lot in that sense!
So yeah, I had a feeling Suporn was your other top choice because I remember reading a thread you were talking so positively about him.
I'll admit though, despite him being firmly top spot for some months, I have started to lean a little more towards Brassard for many of the exact same reasons you've just stated.
Personally, I think the difference between surgery times is a double-edged sword; on the one hand, I think...well....if Suporn does THAT much work for that many hours then surely it has to be a more intricate technique leading to a....more intricate result?..a vagina with the most bells and whistles possibly so to speak! On the other hand, anyone who researches surgery knows that the quicker you're off that operating table the better in many ways and if Brassard's more streamlined, somewhat simpler (?) (yet obviously very effective from the many positives I've heard) 2-hour technique gives a good result with far quicker and (relatively!) more pain-free recovery time then surely that has to be a winner.
You're absolutely right that as well as all the shining reviews, I have come across more unhappy testimonials for Suporn than I have with Brassard - saying that though, is that because Suporn (For the last few years at least..even if the tide seems to be changing) has been the 'surgeon of the day' doing many more SRS procedures than Brassard? Possibly. I know Suporn does several a week. I actually can't remember offhand how many Brassard does a week now, hmmm.
Like you, I think I'd be very satisfied with Brassard's sensation and orgasmic potential going by the positive things I've read - but sure, the promise that Suporn gives the 'most' sensation by means of preserving the most nerve endings (and using some of those in the 'Chonburi' organ) seems a huge positive. But then with the extra nerve endings comes the extra pain and lengthy recovery. Wow, I'm arguing with myself yet again and still feel no closer to deciding 100%, arghhh!
Aesthetics for me are hugely important too. Like us all, I don't want to settle for anything less than the most natural result possible. Even though it's been said many times, the average guy is very unlikely to be studying it with a magnifying glass but still...natural enough to never risk being clocked as anything but original is the aim!
I think seeing some results in person could possibly swing this decision firmly in one direction, if I'm honest - only had relatively few photo results to work with so far. And I've seen results I've both liked and disliked from both surgeons. Brassard's office sent me a few results in an email and Suporn only has the ones he's willing to show on his website but it's obvious both will only want to show the best examples.
Anyway those are my main thoughts so feel free to reply to any of the points you feel like - but I'm so happy for you that you've managed to get through all these things in your head firmly enough to have made your choice..which you're sounding really confident about and that's the most important thing. I hope to be in a similar place very soon!
