Hey!
Next year I'm moving back to Sweden to do the medical part of my transition.
I know for MtFs they cover HRT, counseling, electrolysis, voice therapy, BA and SRS. I've been told they do about 50 SRSs per year in the whole country (5 gender clinics), which isn't a lot compared to what private surgeons of renown do. That is making me doubt if I should have such a critical procedure done there, or save to get it done somewhere else.
Swedes of Susan's, where did you get SRS? What technique do they use in Sweden? Are you happy with the outcome? How's sensation? If you're being treated in one centre, can you choose to have surgery in a different one? I'm going to be treated in Uppsala.
