Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hii! So basically I'm in the process of looking at srs. At first I thought staying with a UK surgeon would be best, since if there are any complications I would be back at home and looked after by a doctor who is nearby.

However, from what I understand, the work of certain Thai surgeons is by far supreme. From what I've seen, Dr Suporn seems to be the best. Firstly can someone clarify which Dr Suporn this is? I think there's more than one? Is this the website of the supposedly amazing one? http://www.supornclinic.com/Welcome.html

Anyway - I'm rather apprehensive about choosing a thai surgeon because of risk of any complications occuring either there or back at home. Additionally, I've heard from a number of sources that because he uses a skin graft technique (which has an uncomfortably high failure rate in other branches of medicine - don't know if this applies here), and he also scrapes away hair follicles to remove them (which can damage blood supply and lead to graft loss).

What i want to know is what is his overall success rate? Does anyone have bad experience of Dr Suporn for SRS? If I went there and ended up with complete loss of graft/vagina because of the above I would be absolutely devastated - beyond anything before. I have no idea what I would do. What are the options if this happens to me???

Also, my alternatives for undergoing SRS would be either Mr Thomas or Mr Bellringer in the UK.

Thanks so much everyone :)

It just feels like I can only find glowing reports of him, but I really want to hear of any bad experiences so I know exactly what I can expect should I go down this path...

thanks :)

 Go to main page of suans.org look under  healthcare for GRsurgeons . they will give you drs listed by country .
Then go to the comments for each doctor. look at the newest posted comments at the bottom of page. or surf the web
suporn uses scrotal skin grafts but i've heard he stretches it out by honey combing it by cutting tiny holes in it. for more depth. then it heals up.
I don't know how close his   neo vulva looks  like a GG. IMO From what I've seen not really
Kamol or mcGinn look very close to a GG.
If the graft fails you can get  colon cut surgery (provides natural lubrication) performed by a real doctor a colorectal surgeon.
If you develop a fistula or need a revision or have an emergency what are you going to fly back to Thailand ?
Also with any GRS you will have to dialate.  you won't not get wet when aroused or have a liquid orgasm.
and orgasms are not that easy to achive contrary to what people may say

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry what's GG and Kamol or mcGinn?

Well, I happened to run across this blog, which is a woman who's very unhappy and dissatisfied with her Suporn results : http://www.mythaisrs.com/?zx=f1e1ab843b96f650 I haven't gone to him personally, but maybe that'll help. (I also know two women who declined to go through the NHS, went to Suporn, and *were* happy.)

Incidentally, I do self-lubricate and squirt at orgasm; shocked me too, but it's apparently possible for at least some people.

Did you go to Suporn then..?
Thanks! :)

I;'ve just looked at that page and she says she's more or less happy, but just wants minor corrections done..?

No, I didn't use Suporn.

It looks like she redesigned the blog just recently, too - I haven't read it in a few weeks. But she was saying she was suicidally depressed and in constant pain, with dilation causing her so much agony that not even painkillers were helping a lot of the time. But hey, I'm thrilled to hear she's apparently doing better now! Sorry it wasn't that helpful after all, I guess. :)

Thanks anyway still really useful to read! Do you mind me asking who you had it done with..?

(I used Brassard; Canada was a lot more convenient to me geographically versus Thailand.)

Oh wow - and that's gone well then? Are you happy with the result?

Yep, I'm 100% satisfied. Orgasmic, self-lubricating, and a gynecologist couldn't tell. Honestly, I would've been happy with any 2 out of those 3. :)

Wow - is Brassard meant to be one of the top surgeons?

I don't know about "meant to be," but I do see him listed among them, yeah. Though I think any of the top surgeons are excellent!
