Hey Calico!
I was wondering if you had genital electrolysis prior to your surgery? I am scheduled for the 28th of May with Brassard and he recomends not getting ANY sort of electrolysis down there. Some girls ive spoken to have complained about hair regrowth though. I did ONE clearing session down there (2 hours maybe?) at the beggining of January. Most of the hair has grown back. I think I am just going to go into the surgery. I figure since I did some it will be ok. I am just wondering how you went about this.

No I did not have any electrolysis, primarily because of my own personal stigma about what was down there before.....  but you can always do it late if needed from what I understand

No, she can't if she's going with Brassard. Chettawut/Supporn girls can, because it's a different technique.

I had 9 IPL sessions before I came. It was almost all gone. Way less painful than electro, too...and quicker!

Could you elaborate a little more? Are you saying it's not possible to have hair removal post-op with Brassard, but it is possible with Chettawut/Supporn? If this is so, why would that be?

I cant answer your question Tesla, perhaps rachl will be able....

but on a different not finally went  to the #1 dialator today and well hurt like a mofo.... wow i quite simply felt as though I was going to vommit... was not eexpecting that, but I am relieved it went...now i got to do it again as its that time

I really feel for you there. I think they need a #0.5 dilator. Are you on pain killers?

Wow (about dilation)! It should work out with time and efforts, I guess.

Calico, please, can you tell if you had a tracheal shave too, and 12K is the price with it or it is just for SRS?
And if you did, does it hurt and did your voice have changed?
Thank you.

I had a trach shave with mine (went down yesterday). My throat's sore and it's harder to speak with my normal voice. Part of that's because of the intubation, though. It should be back to normal in another day or two.

My price was 385,000 THB for the two surgeries.

Brassard uses penile inversion, Chet/Suporn don't. It's because the techniques are different.

Yea I didnt have a trach shave (didnt need it ) , 12k was just srs, and yes I have some real good pan killers but its still like   

The biggest problem with baht is the exchange rate changes daily so... one day 29 to 1 another 26 to 1

Sorry to be so much of a pedant. I'm in the middle of deciding between Brassard and Chettawut and I'm researching every itty bitty detail. Knowing why the different techniques allows or prevents hair removal would be interesting to know.

I don't know about brassard, but chett removes the folicles so you really dont need to do electo, he also said something to me that it also shrinks the scrotal tissue. He recomend only electro on the perinium. and said that electro can be done after surgery if desired.

I would prob email brassard with the question for better understanding, but IMO penile inversion may bethe way it was used to be done but there are better ways/results using the non-inversion technique.

Non-inversion may be better for me, but I'm not sure. Being on HRT since 1994 and having been circumcised leaves a little less material than normal. I may go with the surgeon who thinks they can give me the greatest depth without resorting to colon or abdominal grafts.

That is good that you didn't need it. I have mine very small, don't even need to hide it - it is not noticable. ..So, the SRS price went higher from 10K, which was not so long ago. I see. Thank you, Calico!

Yes it may have its on his site for 327,000 baht which at a exchange ratio of 27 to 1 which is where it is right now is 12,112.00 USD, when I got mine it was a lil better than 28 to 1 which made it 11,678.57USD and I think coinmill reads something like 29.sumthin to 1, but you cant trust coinmill. The thai baht is like the stock markert its always going up and down, and when you are here keep a calculator so you know whats a good deal or not I almost bought a dress tonight and I stopped and it turned out to be like 60 buck's.

If you have been on hormones for a bit or dont have much to work with I recomend, non-inversion as length doesnt matter so-much., If you have had an orchi however be ready for skin grafts.

Calico, Did you use the Western Union office In the seacon centre they have better Exchange rates than the main banks I think it is on the third floor very Helpful better than the Banks.

Well that price is off putting as there is no way I will be able to get that kind of money in my life time short of winning the lottery.

Calico, I'm guessing you've been on hrt for some time too. Did you think you've shrank much in the department? I can't remember anymore myself. I think I shrank a little bit in the first few years and then it tapered off. I make sure it's never redundant for more than a week to help prevent shrinkage.

After all those years, they still managed to give you 6". That's really good to know.

Yes I have been on hrt for several years.... mm bout 10, I figure yes it shrank but it was something that I didnt try to do anything to stop it,as the way I felt I didnt want anything to do with it.

Emerald- the cost may seem high intially but all it takkes is some carefull planing and the mindset that you will get it, that way you can acomplish anything.

Yes I agree, everything is a determination and the right mind set. There is nothing you can not get if you really want it.

Unless you are physically and mainly mentally unable to work and your only source of income is a disability pension which leaves you at best 400 a fortnight to yourself.
