Dr Brassard was my surgeon.

Dr. McGinn was one of the doctors when I had my BA

You will definitely have to ask the surgeon you choose about *that* one. It's a rare enough syndrome that I doubt anyone has a posted policy on it.

(I also used Brassard.)

I had a fantastic time at his aftercare residence; the 24-hour nursing care for over a week was priceless. He has a good bedside manner, and did excellent work - I've had a gynecologist who didn't know. (If you want specifics, I can maybe dig up a post I made with details.)

Reposted :

In fact, I had essentially full sensation - clitoral, labial, and internal vaginal - from the moment I woke up from surgery. This was a downside during the initial days, as you can imagine, although the pain wasn't all that bad.

Yes, I am easily orgasmic. It took a bit of effort to relearn my body, but my first orgasm was 3 weeks post-op in a dream, so clearly the nerves all worked fine and it was my brain getting in the way!

Not sure about prostate sensation. I didn't ever experiment with prostate stimulation pre-op, so I wouldn't necessarily recognize it post-op. I do have an area of highly erogenous sensation in roughly the equivalent spot to the "G-spot," which I have been told is likely the prostate.

I am fully sensate inside my vagina. Again, not orgasmic from vaginal stimulation alone, but it's NICE.

Never any numbness, either.

In fact, the pain was less and ended faster than I'd expected. It was still probably 3-4 months before I wasn't a *little* sore after a long day, but less than a month before I was almost 100% pain-free.

Yes, I have labia majora which are aesthetically correct and properly located. Mine are pretty puffy, but I also had tremendous, ridiculous swelling right after (even the nurses were shocked), so I'm not convinced it's all gone away YET.

Ditto the labia minora. They're fairly small, but that's not atypical.

Yes, I have both a fully (extremely!) sensitive clitoris and hood. Incidentally, both the clitoral hood and labia minora have the inner portion lined with leftover urethra, which is mucosal tissue that is light pink and moist just as in cis women, a detail I appreciate.

Yes, my urethra is correctly positioned and functional. It's just barely distinguishable from the vaginal opening (ie, directly above), which matches what I see in my wife and on anatomical diagrams. There were some issues with spraying early on because of the severe swelling, but everything works fine now.

My vaginal opening is also correctly placed and looks normal.

I did not do hair removal, and have had no hair regrowth except in areas where I would expect it (pubis, outside of the labia majora).

5.5" of depth as far as I can determine. I'm content with that. I started with 5.5" and have kept it.

No serious complications aside from one stitch that pulled out early but healed cleanly. I did have a reccurring soreness and a need to massage/stretch the scar tissue around 3 months post-op, which I've been told is normal for any surgery (not just GRS).

I did have a devil of a time with the catheter, though. Again, bladder spasms are harmless and common, but that was AWFUL. I was so glad to see that go.
   
He offers free revisions for the first year but I was happy. It's quirky/not identical to other vulva I've seen, but hey, that's normal!

As a final note, I also do self-lubricate somewhat, and can "squirt" at orgasm on occasion. (But I have a female partner; my experience with penetrative sex does not involve men, if that matters.) All in all, I'm very satisfied.

This may bee too personal,but who was your surgeon

I'm assuming you're talking to me. Not personal at all. It's Dr. Kathy Rumer. She's only a few miles from McGinn. She is very professional, her staff has been helpful, and I'm thrilled with the result.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

(I don't think facial beauty has much to do with nether regions, although Devlyn IS very pretty. :) )

I don't know much about McGinn besides what it says on her web site, but she does have a weight limitation, and there are rumors that she prefers to work on young pretty women.

Thank you! I completely agree, but I have a firm policy of not interrupting someone who's complimenting me!  ;D

Hugs, Devlyn
