My SRS with Dr Chettawut

[bamar86]

Thanks for the response butterfly lover. It was much appreciated. I think I just get soooo wrapped up by the few bad reviews, my anxiety takes over and I only concentrate on those. Forgetting all the good ones.

Yes sure, you can ask anything. I'm an open book

Hi lovely ladies, i only just came across this post and couldn't take my eyes off it until i got through the entire thing.

I just have a question regarding depth, that i'm almost embarrassed to ask because it may sound silly. but i've read that a cis vagina during sex stretches when the woman is arroused.... is this the same case for trans women post op?

I'm asking, because i also am considering dr chett. i had my heart set on dr suporn, but his waiting list is too long. i cannot handle the gender disphoria i experience due to my current situation too much longer.

I have actually had buttocks implants with dr chettawut in the past and the results are amazing. i am just worried if i go to him for my srs he may not be able to give me atleast 6 inches of depth, and it seems that dr suporn has greater success regarding that part of the surgery.

thanks for your help ladies

6 inches of depth seems to be the norm with Chet. I too got 6 inches from him. I didn't think I would get that much depth because I read he had problems getting adequate depth with girls who had a lot of anal sex, & me being 23 with a high sex drive & extremely sexually active lifestyle didn't help that claim. But needless to say I got 6inches of depth & he never mentioned it being problematic to achieve.

Hey Chloe, Yeah i know what you mean. its always the bad review that make us worried. But then every surgeon has good and bad review & every surgery is at risk for complication.
how much was butt implant, how long did you stayed? you can PM me.

Thanks girl

Princess Baby,

I also had alot of anal sex and was surprised i got 6 inches of depth due to what everyone talking about it on here. this just prove that you will never know cause everyone is diff.

interesting bout anal sex being a cause of concern when it comes to srs (and this is not the colon srs).... why would anal sex a factor in the depth of the neoVagina ? first time hearing this ... i have sailed a thousand ships (madonna true blue lol)

I believe I've seen quite a few posts where Dr Chett says that's why people don't get good depth. Not sure I've heard of it associated it with anyone else.

Day 27, Tuesday 15th December.  Naughty News!

Last night Tea (as in Ti-a), David and I went out to dinner on a river cruise.  It was actually a lot of fun, but I'm not sure I'd advise it because I ended up dancing on the top deck to the band which was not a "recommended" thing to do!  We booked the whole thing through a local driver/guide that Tea found called Winai and I booked him for today to take me on a tour.  He charges the same for two as he does for one – Baht 2,000 for the day, but he's very nice, speaks pretty decent English and very helpful.  If someone wants to use him, you can get him on his mobile 08-3983-3360 and he's always happy to take our money!

So he picked me up at 8am this morning which meant getting up early after a late night and getting dilation out of the way which was a bit of pain.  He insisted on an early start because of the traffic. It took just over an hour to drive to the King's Grand Palace.  You also pay everything that's extra including tolls – 100B each way – and entry fees for yourself and him – another couple of hundred (not a big deal).  It costs much less for a Thai to get a ticket so its really worth bringing him with you, especially if you're on your own, because he shows you around and takes lots of photos for you and of you with your camera (and take a camera!).  Oh, I should also add that there is a dress code for the Palace - you're not allowed to show your knees (so trousers or a dress below the knees) or your shoulders (so a T-shirt or a scarf/shawl which you can buy when you're there for 100B). The tour round the Grand Palace was great – beautiful place – then we went across the river to the Buddhist temple.

After that we headed over to Ayutthaya (full name Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya) which was the ancient capital city of Thailand ransacked by the Burmese in the 1700s – it's beautiful, intriguing and sad because it has fallen apart and all the Buddha statues had their heads cut off by the Burmese (who are also Buddhist??!!).  The Thais think that's why Myanmar (Burma) is such an awful place to live - they are paying the price of their nastiness.

After that (and this is the really naughty bit !) I went on an elephant ride – fabulous animals .  I loved it and even managed to sit on the seat without my doughnut!  The people who run the thing, milk you all the way through – 400 to ride, 50 to feed them, 100 to take a picture of you with you phone .... then the elephant holds out its trunk at the end asking for a tip!  However, it was an experience of a lifetime which I wouldn't have missed for the world.  Then we went off to an elephant farm/sanctuary.  Oh, they are such beautiful creatures .  The place had five or so babies less than 6 months old who just wanted to play and be fed (50/basket of cucumbers!).  Honestly, you can't resist feeding and playing with them, you can get right up close and they wrap their trunk around your hand and try and pull you past the fence to be with them.  They climb all over each other and if you have food they are all, including the mothers, trying to get your attention.  But they were gentle and lovely.  I ended up doubling my costs for the day because I just had to donate to their home – the people there look after 200 elephants.  One bit of advice, if you go there, take some wet-wipes because after you've been with them your hands have been stroking them as well as being held and wrapped by their trunks and it's not as if there's nice sanitary facilities everywhere!

We got back to the hotel around 5.30 after leaving the elephants about 4pm, so a pretty long time in the car because the traffic is so bad.  It was only when I got back that I suddenly wondered whether Nurse Sri was due to visit me again today – if so I missed that!  Either way, if you get the chance, I would highly recommend you taking the trip up there, it was a really fabulous day and Winai was good company.

OMG Sasha I leave in a few days for Thailand.. I want to do the elephant thing.. I would like to do it ahead of time but if I could pull that off right before I leave that would be so cool to get pics of.. LOL.. Like I can't believe you did that
Also you were going to put together a list of must take.. did you do that.
Love

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I remember paying around 4000 aud when I got my butt implants. But that was a few years ago. So I don't know how much the price has changed.

Removed my GCS ticker this morning!  I'm officially a post op girl now.  Been back a little over a week.   About 30 days post op.  Chett was great! Results are fine and will likely get better over time.  As an added benefit, I got a discounted upper lip lift and was one of the lucky ones that didn't need an additional skin graft and have to pay an additional fee.  I brought the money in Thai Baht just in case and used it to get some really nice "bling" at the malls across from my hotel!  Beautiful jewelry in Thailand!

Only complaint was a reluctance by the nurse providing daily check ups to provide additional pain meds (other than Tylenol)  It's not like I was expecting oxycontin or something.  They finally got the message though.  The tramadol really helps with the dilation especially as you move to the larger diameter stents.

Will be glad to offer perspectives on my experiences as I continue to recover.

Hugz to All!

Hey Joi, Keri and everyone,

Really good to hear that your ops went well and I wish you all the very best with it continuing to be positive and that it brings you happiness!

Keri, I'm sorry I didn't respond, but did you find the packing/to do list that I wrote in one of my earlier posts?  And, more importantly, did you get to ride the elephants?!!

Joi, very happy you came through it all well - that was a major thing for you and I hope you didn't stress too much.

Don't know if this will help anyone with the dilation schedule at all, but I've now been on number 4 dilator for about a month.  Every new one (which you'll already have experienced at least once I expect) was always uncomfortable the first time, but pretty quickly became dead easy.  Until I got to number 4!  OMG that's so huge!!  I found that it was VERY uncomfortable and difficult to get in, although I couldn't describe it as painful.  Even now about a month after I started with it I have to do it gently.  Once it's in, it's fine and not uncomfortable.  Bad confession here - I was out partying a week or so ago, didn't start dilation until around 2.30am when I got back, managed to get through the first three 5 minute ones (1+2+3), started the number 4 close to 3am and then ...... woke up around 6 with it still nicely tucked away!!

Big hugs and warm wishes to everyone,

Susan

I believe I've seen quite a few posts where Dr Chett says that's why people don't get good depth. Not sure I've heard of it associated it with anyone else.

The issue is called adhesions.
Its like scar like or web like tissue, connecting organs.
One possible reason but not the only one is anal sex.

Some thai surgeons abandon pursuing depth when they encounter this.
You might talk beforehand about this ... like saying you want to take the risk and rather have depth if thats what you want ... or giving a bonus for more work necesary ... you might talk about it with them and get educated on risk and what you want.

Hey girl no worries.. I did ok without the list... I have been home since March 15th.. and have been totally wiped out.. not sure why.. could be all the other distractions that affect you when we get home like work.

Anyway no elephant ride.. I was late getting there due to plane delay and then after surgery Dr just kinda laughed and said three months before I could go.

I am very happy with my results.. over 7 inch depth and I never experienced any pain at all.. in fact took only a couple pain meds after surgery..

I sure did not want to leave.. loved the people I met and also the locals I did get to know.

I also got spoiled on room service and a house keeper.. LOL.. back to the real world now.
