Hi everyone,
I'm considering a partial vaginoplasty and was wondering what, in your opinion, was the most unexpected/unanticipated part of your procedure or its aftermath that you did not or could not prepare for? This could be a social or physical change, or even something else! I'm interested in hearing your thoughts :)
Making this decision can seem hard, and it's hard to see what "it's like on the other side." I'm curious as to some of the parts that are harder to prepare for, like you're feelings afterward or anything else that is hard to predict or see through!

I am extremely happy to have had surgery. The unpredictable part is that your result largely depends on your own individual anatomy. I have scar tissue that is a bit unusual. I have two areas of skin left over that remind me of what used to be there. I am told that these are characteristics of my particular body. I have to learn to live with a few imperfections and they were a surprise. I couldn't have predicted it. I would go into surgery thinking that complications and imperfections happen and it is part of reality.
