This weekend is a year since my outie became an innie. I have the license plate to prove it.
For my particular situation if I was just starting out would I do this all the same way? Absolutely with no hesitation. The surgeries, the surgeons, and the timing. Tackling permanent facial and body hair removal years before any surgery (before I made the decision to transition) was a great decision.
Looking back on this a year later, the only detail I'd do differently is follow Dena's advice and schedule a follow-up exam 60-90 days after GCS to check for granulation and other things that may occur post-op. Granulation is quite common, an inevitable part of healing with many people but can interfere with dilation. I think I've about solved the granulation that developed last year, will have a better answer after a quick medical exam tomorrow.
