Vaginal width issue

[warlockmaker]

Its a business venture and I am concerned that Suporn has sold his brand to surgeons charging his pricing. I know from our research that he charges 50 to 100 pct more than other great surgeons. His clientelle is over 95 pct from the west.
Patients for srs dont realize that the post op swelling can cause so many problems, is so individual and unpredictable.

Waouh thank you all for these many replies and suggestions.

@ Rachel_Christina : Dr Bauquis is well known for being very secret concerning his work and results. I've discussed with many TGS who know him and we all agree to say he is protecting his interests and reputation.
However, I do remain very grateful to him, since he "resolved" the issues I experienced when I got back from Thailand ..
Yes I'm Swiss ! I know Perroy very well, living very close of there Small world indeed. Thank you for your message and wishes

@ AnonyMS : I actually thought about Botox myself and pressured Dr Bauquis into trying it on me (since he "never" had done it before), unfortunately, Botox had no effect on me ... Thank you for the idea though !

@warlockmaker : Thank you so so much for talking about my case at this place, I really hope something useful will come out of it
To your question, I did not ask Suporn because :
1) When I got back to Switzerland and started having major shrinking and pain (x 10 !!!!) issues, I realized how precarious his help service was, since they would only respond me : dilate more it will go away.
2) I got up one morning with describable pain, my mother drove me to the emergencies in Lausanne, where Dr Bauquis came to me and diagnosed two big infected sites within the mess of scar tissue. He had to re-operate immediately and "dig" in all over again, and the surgery was done with colon graft.
3) After that, things went ok for a while as I said, and I would not contact Suporn since he highly disapproved SRS with colon graft and that my vagina was no longer, "his" work ... Besides, Bauquis yelled at me like crazy for having been to Thailand in order to get SRS, he did not have a good opinion of those DRs in Thailand. ... I hope I managed to explain it clearly enough ... :S

Thank you in advance for any help you could provide, xoxo


I was not prepared and advised in any way that post operative would be such a torture, and going back to Thailand (flight, airport-clinic, appointment, hospital over there) even if had wanted to, there is no way I could have made it there in such pain.

Love to you all

Noticed this too and that´s why chose PAI, because I don´t understand why I should pay for a surgeons name, especially since he is not doing surgery anymore.

Btw, if you happen to be around PAI in early July, come and say hello to me

Concerning Suporn's guarantee, Suporn has plenty of patients who go back for revisions, some of them multiple times. In a couple of cases (fistula) he's even paid the patients expenses (including flights and hotel), which is contrary to his rules. He's also refused to perform revisions where he's not capable of doing them .

I'm not too impressed with the new limit on revisions they introduced after he announced his retirement. Since the clinic is continuing with different surgeons I think they should honor their guarantee to previous patients, and continue it with new ones. Got to wonder about their sense of business sometimes, and hopefully its a temporary aberration.

And I've watched and assisted some Australians with issues post-op.. Dr Suporn left the entire corpus cavernosum in one patient, running under the right labia majora - when she got aroused, her vagina was forced partially closed and looked like she had an erection.. The doctor refused to discuss the problem, let alone look at it.

I've spoken to several well known, non Thai surgeons and was amazed at how much time they admit to spending fixing the work of others - particularly the man in questions. And I think I read somewhere of another surgeon who has given up doing revisions of his work.

I spoke to the surgeons at PAI. I explained in detail your issue.

Its their view that deep scar tissue at the entry is the problem, they have had one correction a few years back on work by another surgeon. Normal scar tissue stretching is difficult but the deep scar tissue will not stretch and forcing it can be very painful. The surgery required research and tests before surgery to clean out the deep scar tissue and avoid additional scar tissue.They highly recommend going back to the original surgeon.

Each surgeon has their preferences in the srs, much like an artist and you need to go back to the original surgeon. They are concerned that the corrective work done may have aggrivated the situation causing more scar tissue. You need to be familiar with the technique used by the original surgeon . They have a high regard for Suporn, as he was one of Dr Preecha's students also. They expressed great confidence in his work and his ability to correct problems.

They also expressed concern that the pain may have resulted in you not dilating and thus you may lose the depth completely. Thus, requiring a sigmoid colon, which you have since had and may now have compounded the problem. The Thailand surgeons are some of  the best in the world and any degrading comments from another surgeon, not so experienced,  would be disappointing and unprofessional.  I am sorry not to have better news.

Thank you very much for talking about my case at this PAI meeting.

Since I've started physiotherapy, I've seen some progress and I am less in pain. Actually I am feeling pretty confident for the future, I think I could actually figure this width issue out with patience, an appropriate medication and physiotherapy.

Be sure I will let you  know when things are finaly fixed

Till then, thanks again for your replies, your suggestions.

Love to you all

[Rachel_Christina]

That's great Lena, hope it all continues to go well for you :')

[lenamartin]

Where do you live now Christina ? You seem like such a sweet girl, I'd love to meet you !

[Rachel_Christina]

Aw that would be cool. I will be returning to Switzerland for a week or two late July early August.
I live in Ireland now though.
I am half Swiss half Irish by blood, and have always been torn between the two countries :/

[lenamartin]

That would be awesome
Let me know when you have the date of your arrival !

Love & Kisses to all
