European SRS-SOS

[Raregirlinternational]

Hey everyone! I am in a very weird point and I absolutely need every help i can get. I am an 22 mtf girl, grew up very androgynous, always in the female side of life and i have been in hrt for over a year, as well as seeing a psychiatrist. I really need to get my surgery as soon as possible and my parents who are willing to pay for it are only allowing me to do it withing Europe. So I need you all girls to tell me who is the best surgeon in Europe and if you had any experience with them. I will be living in Germany soon and ive already emailed Dr.Schaff. I am also going to Belgium to meet Dr.Monstrey. Ive heared mixed reviews about Dr. Bellringer in London, and it scares me that a lot of girls say he is indifferent after the surgery, also some said he doesnt work well. Lastly ive heared that surgeons in Serbia, who are easier and cheaper, but does anybody know if they are good?
My parents suggest i go to some surgeon that nobodys heared of just because he will perform the surgery in a months notice, but i know thats too risky and im willing to find the best for me and any post op complications. That being said, i do want to have my surgery at least a year or a year and a half from now or else my paperwork, college and professional life will be shuttered.
Please help me, love you all

Ive heared mixed reviews about Dr. Bellringer in London, and it scares me that a lot of girls say he is indifferent after the surgery, also some said he doesnt work well.

I know literally hundreds of people (including myself and my best friend/soulmate) who have gone under the knife with Mr Bellringer. I can assure you he is as good as any other surgeon. You may be surprised to know he also does a sideline in repairing others surgeons mistakes and failures.

I don't know where you've read all these negative views of Mr Bellringer, but I would take with a pinch of salt what you read on the open web. A lot of it is Chinese whispers. For example, you rarely hear anything negative about Thai surgeons. Does that mean they have a higher success rate? No, the reason is that people who have decided to go private rather than through the NHS are two embarrassed to say they made a mistake and had to go to Mr Bellringer for a repair job. I personally know three people who have had terrible experiences in Thailand, and continuing long lasting problems, but they won't talk about it openly. Meanwhile, as I'm sure you know, people love complaining about the NHS. As for Mr Bellringer being 'indifferent' post surgery, again I wonder where you read this, it's totally untrue.

I've also heard lots of people say that what they've been given is not 'natural', it doesn't look right. I point them to the 1001vaginas website. Every natural vagina, labia etc looks different, some people have large inner labia, some people have virtually no inner labia, they all look 'natural'. Unfortunately Transsexual people often have an idealised vision of what a vagina should look like, a vision can be totally unrealistic.

So I need you all girls to tell me who is the best surgeon in Europe

There is no 'best surgeon' either in Europe or the world. Many of the top surgeons are as good and as bad as each other. SRS is risky surgery, there are no guarantees. Different surgeons have different techniques, different strengths and weaknesses. A lot of the time it depends what donor material they have to work with, which type of surgery you feel more happy with, etc etc.

If you wish to know more about UK surgeons I suggest you join some UK support forums.

I heard only good thinks about Dr. Daverio in Potsdam near Berlin. One friend of me had surgery there two months ago there and she is very happy. He is doing a very good penile inversion. His waiting list is rather short.

I just had my SRS with Dr. Schaff last week. I am still in the hospital. His combined method has many similarities with Dr. Suporn and in my opinion he is one of the leading SRS surgeons in the world. Luckily he is almost ignored by alls US girls but his waiting list is pretty long.

Kind regards.

Hello,

I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Miroslav Djordjevic in Belgrade, Serbia. He did the GRS for my girlfriend and we are very happy with the results. He is a good and caring doctor with great experience.
Check out their website, it may help in your decision: http://www.genitalsurgerybelgrade.com/index.php
If you need any information I can provide, just ask.

Thank you so much for your reply! I did hear recently about a doctor in Belgrade and Serbia is actuallly quite close to me, so that would be helpful if i needed to see the doctor in case soemthing happened. I did also hear about a girl having her srs done there a month or so ago, and so far she is happy with the result and has no complications, however she didnt have sex yet and cant tell. She does say she has a lot of sensation though. Can you maybe give me some more information as to how were you treated and the whole experience?

Thank you for your response! I am moving to Germany soon so I have contacted both Dr. Schaff and Dr. Daverio. The first one hasnt respond yet and the second one did but his price for a srs and a breast augmentation is 31.000+ euro, whichIfind tobe extremely pricey. Ive heared that Schaff is around the 18.000 euro mark though.  I have to mention i had a consultation recently with Dr. Nikolaos Papadopulos recently. He is the head of the plastic surgery department in the university of Munich and has been trained with Schaff by the same teacher-doctor. He is supposed to have huge experience, however i ave not been able to find someone who had surgery with him, even though he performs such surgeries the last 20 years. Have you heard anything? Congrats on your srs, i hope i will follow your steps very soon

Thank you for your response Its very nice to hear good things about Bellringer. I did an additional research and it seems like he has a quite big supporter base. I might need to see him for an appointment!

My girlfriend was not in Belgrade for the surgery, Dr. Djordjevic came to our country and done demonstration surgeries here, so we don't have any first-hand experience about the hospital or the full staff in Belgrade.

The staff here has been prepared by a student of Dr. Djordjevic before he came here and we could not have asked for a better staff. All the nurses and other doctors were great and very helpful. We have heard the same from people who were in Belgrade for the surgery. A lot of people go to Belgrade too to fix other surgeon's work.

There were no complications. My girlfriend left the hospital after one week. The healing was without any major problems, we tried to make sure that we follow all the instructions on keeping things clean and the dilation. At first it was not easy but it got better and after less than two months my she could start at her new job without problems. And there are no problems with the sensation
