Hi guys, so I'm an 18 year old transgirl and I just wanted to come on here and share my story. I transitioned at a very young age (came out at 11, started blockers at 12, and was on estrogen by 13 ) and so I never got penile growth. Not only from being on hormones for 5 years but also because I never went through male puberty. I never thought this was a problem because I pass very well, but now I want to get surgery and I don't know what to do. My penis is about 2 inches not erect and 3.5-4 inches erect and also it is kind of thin. I am not circumcised however. Is it possible to get surgery? Do any doctors do it differently than the standard inversion? I live in the US but am willing to go to Thailand or other countries if it would be worth it.
I'm pretty sure you could get good depth with Sigmoid Colon Vaginoplasty, tho it is more expensive, and has more potential complications. You would have to discuss it with your surgeon tho.
Dr Suporn in Thailand is said to get good results even with a micropenis, which is a lot smaller than that.
There's a pdf from a women who's had SRS with him here

You should discuss with your surgeon about skin grafts. Mine is smaller than yours, and I would need a graft for penile inversion, if I can find a way to pay for the surgery.
I asked about this a few months ago, and what I was told is that generally you have enough material in most cases. With the skin being elastic, it's easy to stretch it and get good depth as well. In your cast, that erect length, I'm not totally sure if doctors use that or if they use just a stretched flaccid measurement. When it's not erect, you might notice you can pull some of the skin further than erect which is sort of what the surgeon can do. And lots of transwomen, especially who started young and have surgery, usually have no complication and have good depth and just in general good results. Having not been circumcised also it a benefit for SRS too! I'm in the same boat as you with the stuff down stairs (though losing a bit of weight might help in my case), but honestly you should be, but if you aren't, then there is always different methods that can be used to achieve good depth.
I had GCS with Dr. McGinn 11/15/2016. I had a micro penis. I was really small, when my penile tissue was discarded it was about 3/4 of an inch with no vascular support. The doctor tried to save it by grafting it to the skin inside the vaginal canal but it died by the 6 day vaginal canal opening. Also, my diameter would have been too small for the purple dilator.
She was going to use a graph above my mounds pubis but during the operation she used my scrotum. I did not have a lot of material there either.
My recovery was different than a penile inversion method. Dr. McGinn was honest and upfront with me and told me there was a possibility my graph could die. I have extra fat in the groin area and fat is not a good conductor of blood. At 6 days I had a procedure with 200 or so stiches in her office and started dilating but only 3 times a day and no pushing. I kept my catheter for another week and was restricted to bed rest for 3 weeks.
The second week I had the catheter removed and lower part of the vagina opened up in her office. I was increased to 5 dilations with very light pushing.
Third week I was off bed rest ( I drove there) and was permitted to push with dilation.
I was treated twice for 2 small spots of granulation and have just under 5 inches of depth from their measurement in the office.
I have seen the doctor or PA-c 5 times in the past 13 weeks. My next appointment is 5/15/2017 and I get my clitoral hood :) .
I have to send a picture of my vaginal canal to Brianna PA-c to view the necrotic skin removal progress. The first 1.5 inches of the vaginal canal is skin from where the opening was created and the graph attached. The top layer of skin dies and comes off. I am doing dry packing to assist in the process. The dead skin, from what they said can be a place for bacteria to hide and they want it gone. The dry packing ( putting coarse cotton bandage strip in the vaginal canal) is working very well.
I am very glad I went to Dr. McGinn. I had a very small micro penis, fat in the groin area ( not bad but not typical) and an atypical urethra.
I had an operation at age 12 and had a second urethra installed ( my original was too small) and some correction to the penis head. I am intersexed.
The doctor used my whole glands penis for the citreous. It was small but larger the usual citreous but it is shrinking and taking the shape of that area of the vagina. I think it will work out very well. It is very sensitive.
