How many fear the issue of dialation in pursuing transition

[Michelle_P]

There are posts on this site about this type of srs.

I don't think I've ever seen any pictures and suspect there aren't any publically available. I'd also guess that externally they look just like the normal result from the same surgeon.

The zero-depth work I've seen looks exactly like a full vaginoplasty and labiaplasty.  The 'zero-depth' term is a bit of a misnomer.  There is a vaginal fold between the labia, so there is a normal-looking introitus present.  The actual depth is maybe an inch or so, a sort of 'dimple'.

Structurally it resembles what a ciswoman born with aplasia of the Müllerian ducts or complete androgen insensitivity might have.

From what I had reading so far we have to dialation for the rest of our lives after Gender Reassignment surgery.

I did not fear the requirements and knew what I was getting into beforehand  Post op, I had no issues following my Dr's dilation requirements (first 90 days 3 times daily). Today almost 3 years later it's like a few minutes spent of peaceful self pleasure to start my day, it's enjoyable for me....

I'm now 2 1/2 years post op and I really have no set schedule other than to make sure I do it at least every couple weeks.  Some days I do it a few times just to have fun and sometimes I can go a week or two with doing nothing.  Now when I do "dilate" it's usually not with a hard plastic dilator but a toy of some kind and I have a number of different ones to choose from.  My doctor had a very different initial schedule from most doctors.  I only had to do it twice a day for 20 minutes each time.  It worked very well for me and I've not had any depth or width issues.
