Thai surgeons: Depth vs Beauty vs Safety - your thoughts?

[Richenda]

Hi lovelies,

As some of you may know I've been chewing over types of SRS and where to go in Thailand where I live. Reading back countless Susan's threads it seems to me the decisions for many of us boil to three key factors. There ARE others, the most obvious of which is cost. However, I'm not going to factor that in because if you do base SRS on cost it can be a recipe for trouble: there are plenty of dodgy clinics around on the cheap. So the following assumes a magic wand scenario where you have enough ka-ching to go for it.

Here's where I think it's at:

Depth (Suporn)

vs

Beauty (PAI and poss Chet)

vs

Safety and After-care (PAI wins hands down)

I'll issue a disclaimer here: after a lot of reading around I'm going to PAI. But it seems to me the issue comes down to whether you prioritise depth, in which case you may lean towards Suporn, or something that looks anatomically more cis-female in which case you will go for PAI?

On the depth front if I'm ever with a guy or ladyboy who wants to insert more than 5.5" ... well ... I can easily take more elsewhere I didn't want to put that in the main post in case it appears crude. It's not meant to.

I've looked for photo's of these surgeons results that are not on the surgeons site and found some for Suporn, a couple of Chettawut and nothing for PAI. I've also seen one Suporn result in person.

All that basically makes it very difficult to compare aesthetics, so for me PAI is risky, and from what little I've seen Suporn is better than Chettaut.

For safety I'll go with what Warlockmaker's said, that PAI is a top hospital, Suporn is a normal hospital, and Chett's working out of a small clinic. The complicating factor is that the hospital itself should only make a difference if you're about to die, and that's either bad health or the surgeon screwed up (and never happened to any of them). Chettawut's setup makes me nervous, but between Suporn and PAI I don't know. I'm not aware of problems with either safety wise.

Aftercare I don't know. Suporn's famous for it, Chett seems good as well. PAI no idea as there's not enough written about it.

A surgery, even the surgeon does everything correctly, may need care in a ICU. The incidence of postoperative complications is generally low with any well trained surgeon, but sometimes the surgeon will pick a wrong vein by accident, or the patient bleeds more than expected, other times the patient may suffer from cardiac unrest due to the anesthesia, other times you pick up a hospitalar infection. It just happens.

If you take patients that are of higher risk (generally of elderly age and with chronic diseas such as diabetes) the risk is significantly higher.

Just saying there is no 100% fail proof. I do realise I have never heard about large post op complcations leading to death after SRS, but doing my surgery in a hospital feels a lot safer for me.

That paper Richenda posted recently had the stats for complications in nearly 400 surgeries at PAI. From what I could understand some of them looked like you'd want to be in a decent hospital.

That's very much my view AnonyMs but chacun a son gout (each to their own)

Although the Preecha Aesthetic Institute is itself an impressive modern facility http://www.healthtourbooking.com/featured-hospitals-detail.php?nid=50
GRS is performed by the team at their affiliate hospital: Piyavate Hospital:

I guess I do tend to keep safety up there as one of my main factors and I would much rather be in a top Bangkok hospital for that reason.

[AnonyMs]

Kind of off topic, but I think with an orchi its fairly straight forward. I'm not away of any differences between surgeons for an orchi, so you may as well pick safety or cost. I'm pretty sure I'd pick PAI if I were to do it.

Do you have the link to this ?

Hi Tina,

I can't post the link but thinking this through I think it's because the link shows the so-called nudity (it's the MtF GRS op rather than 'nudity'). So if I post the link with a break in the middle then you can just copy and paste it after closing the link. That shouldn't upset the mods? Rather than doing it I'll await reaction.

Alternatively if you google 'Male to female vaginoplasty: Preecha's Surgical technique.' it's the first thing to come up on my google.

Ah, edit, solution! This link is just to the abstract, no nudity: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25356769
