Hello,
I'm scheduled to have vaginoplasty surgery via penile inversion on October 24th. However, I'm wondering, in case I'm unpleased by the lack of vaginal depth attained by that surgery, if I can have sigmoid colon or small intestine vaginoplasty afterwards at a later date.

Hi Caitlyn,
I would find a doctor that does that procedure and had a decent amount of experience doing it and ask that question to them.

Yes, it is possible. Only a few surgeons are trained to do a colon cut vaginoplasty.

Do you have some reason to expect you'll get a lack of depth?

Hi,
Yes, I do have some concerns based on factors that my surgeon and I have to take into consideration.
