Title: Time to pick a surgeon
Post by: ALC_132 on April 14, 2019, 09:23:16 PM
Heya,

Was hoping to ask all you wonderful people your experiences on surgeons in the Oceania region.

Am looking at GCS as the next step and have looked at Ives, Suporn, Chettawut and PAI. I am considering PAI and Chettawut the most. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is most important to you? What are your priorities?

Aesthetics and sensation  with depth also weighing into the decision.
Not sure if there's a place where you can have all three ( or if I've forgotten about something else)

Thanks

Hi  ALC_132

Welcome to Susan's, Hope you enjoy your time here  :icon_wave-nerd:

I am a bit biased as I used Andy Ives December last year and I did a complete surgery thread here  (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,240702.0.html) where I detailed my entire GCS experience including, using superannuation funds for the surgery itself, the surgery, my recovery at Knox private and Masada plus the post op recovery phase. The actual surgery stuff starts about page 15. I have just updated the thread today at 4.5 months post op. I would encourage any Aussies girls to seriously consider using Andy Ives. He is a very competent surgeon and his aftercare is very good and I am extremely happy with my appearance and functionality to date.

I can only speak to my experience and YMMV feel free to have a read


Take care  ;D

LizK

For aesthetics Suporn/Bank. Maybe Chettawut after that, not sure. For depth, assuming you ignore colon-vaginoplasty, Suporn/Bank then again probably Chettawut.

Andy Ives and PAI are penile inversion and I don't know the difference between them apart from the obvious. There's not nearly as many posts or photo's of their work. I think there's the usual differences between penile inversion and non-penile inversion.

I don't see much posted about sensation and don't think its possible to compare it except when there's a complication and there is none (and there's not enough info about that either).
