Title: How is the recovery different between techniques?
Post by: ShadowCharms on April 10, 2016, 09:19:00 PM
Hi everyone,

I'm working my way toward bottom surgery, and I'm trying to be as informed as possible. I've heard that the recovery from non-penile inversion is longer and more painful than the recovery from penile inversion. Is that true? If so, in what way?

I've also heard that non-penile inversion is more invasive, and requires more sutures. Is that true?

Are there any other differences I should know about?

This was posted recently about Dr Suporn and has some info about recovery.

I don't know much about Dr Chettawut. Recovery for Dr Suporn is said to be double that of penile inversion. I have the impression that there's a lot of sutures for Dr Suporn because he's really careful about his work. I'm not sure if there's more because of the technique itself.
