I sent you a pm. Can't post that kind of thing here.

Can you pm me the link also please?

Can I please get a PM for the link as well. Desperate for some 'actual' results images and not just the CIS ones they all use on their websites.

I second what Lauren has said and would love to see them too since I'm deciding between Suporn, Brassard, or Chett. It's extremely hard to come by post-op pictures that are not cherry picked.

I sent them all.

Hi, can i be really cheeky and ask for pictures as well as I am there the end of March for surgery with Chett. many thanks
Kind regards

Thank you, Emma, Bobbi, Joi, Tommi and all who've followed my GRS adventure.  It really was an adventure.  For me it marks the end of the beginning of my new life as a woman.  There are still a lot of challenges ahead.  The biggie is making up for not having grown up as a girl and learning what it means to be a women.  Can I do that so late in life?  I doubt it, not completely, but it will be fun giving it my best shot. 

One of the amazing things about my transition is that a good part of the old me is still here.  The authentic parts that are independent of my gender still influence my every day.  Some of those core personality traits are stereotypically male, while others, long suppressed, are now blossoming in the light of my female gender. 

My hope for the future is to be able to integrate into the world around me seamlessly as a woman.  Again, I doubt that I'll be able to pull it off to my satisfaction.  But if you ask what was the one thing that I wished for going as far back as childhood, and still wish for today, for me the answer is easy:  To be one of the girls.  Today, I'm as close to fulfilling that dream as I'll ever be. 

Here's to fulfilling my dream, and you yours in the new year.  Cheers!

I love this post. You managed to pen my feelings and dreams exactly...congratulations on your transition, I expect you'll continue to blossom and your future will be so bright that your past will just fade away.

It's one year and a week since my GRS with Dr. Chet.  I'm happy to report that I've experienced my first orgasm!  I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen, but it's not like I've been trying that hard to get there.  I don't have a strong sex drive like I did before I started HRT. 

I've been more interested in pursuing sexual pleasure lately.  I don't know why the change.  I guess my body has finally adjusted to all the changes in chemistry and neural restructuring that transition involves.  I'm fully healed now for all I can tell, so I'm not worried about doing any damage to myself while experimenting.  I'm in a same-sex relationship, and my partner and I are intimate, but this first ever female orgasm was accomplished alone.  I look forward to having a shared experience with her in the future.

I can see now how important it is to achieve a mental state of sexual arousal; something that was easy for me as a male, has not been as a female with a serum testosterone level measuring only 8 ng/dl.  I've avoided resorting to porn to generate an arousal state, and the few times that I tried to achieve arousal through porn, I found it ineffective and rather boring.  The kind of porn you find on-line is very male-oriented and so mechanical.  It does nothing for me now. 

But last night after a dilation session, and having earlier watched a program on TV with an erotic sex scene, I felt an urge to make another attempt at stimulating an orgasm.  I had my usual low expectations of success, and it seemed for awhile that I'd be better off using the time to read or go to sleep.  But, something was telling me it was going to be different that evening, and it was. 

In my semi-aroused mental state, and while playing a particularly erotic video on my laptop, I felt the tension start to swell from my clitoral vestibule.  Yeah, not the clitoris itself.  This surprised me, but apparently, the tissue that Dr. Chet used to fashion the area around and below the clitoris has a lot of nerve endings.  Remember that Chet uses the penile tissue to construct the vulva, scrotal tissue for the neo-vagina.

The pleasurable sensations built up to a very intense level and began to spread to my upper thighs and toward my abdomen.  It was similar to my former male orgasm except more intense, sustained, and no muscle spasm associated with ejaculation.  The experience was so unexpectedly powerful that I backed off digital stimulation.  I don't know how long I could have kept it going if I had tried.  I came down from climax faster than I hoped, but breathing heavily and feeling totally wonderful.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic. 

Congratulations Clara ! I am glad for you that you could eventually live this nice experience.

Excellent, I am really happy for you. Thats the one question my wife keeps asking me. She keeps saying what happens if you can't orgasm. I do tell her it is a price worth paying but with Dr Chett doing my op I satand an excellent chance of orgasm after I heel up. xx
Kind Wishes
Ann xxx

Hi Clara
so I'm planning on having surgery with Chett some time next year. would you feel comfortable sharing a picture of your results? and have you been able to orgasm yet?

thanks

I can do that, Jenn.  PM me.  And, yes, as I posted recently, after 1 year I am able to orgasm.

I sent 1-year post-op pictures of my GRS results to Dr. Chettawut for his assessment.  I told him that I feel I have a bit too much skin on the labia majora such that the skin wrinkles more than I'd like for aesthetic reasons.  It's not really a big deal because there's so much variation in the appearance of female genitals I'm sure no one would see it as anything but natural.  Then, again who's going to see it anyway?  When you spend a lot of money for something, it's not unreasonable to want the end result to be pleasing.

Hi, please keep posting, especially Dr Chett's reply. All this info is so useful for when I go out xx

Hi Clara, I'm wondering if you could share your results with me too, and keep the thread updated with Chett's response.

I'm in pretty much an identical boat with you. 1+ year post-op with Chett, but unsatisfied with the external appearance. Labia majora has way too much skin and is very wrinkly and I'm planning on getting a revision. All this info would be really helpful to me!

Bump! Would be interested in those pics too!

I didn't get a response back from Dr. Chettawui himself, but rather from Som, his business office manager.

"Dear Ms. Clara,
Thank you for sending us the photos. Dr Chettawut have seen it and he commented that your healing is normal. The labia majora doesn't look loose in the photos as you are on a lying position.

You can send another photo (in standing position) for further evaluation so that Dr. Chettawut can confirm if you still need to wait for more time for the skin to set or if a revision is required and beneficial. 

Regards,
Som K. (Kitiyamongkol)
Business Office Manager of Chettawut Plastic Surgery Center"

So I took a couple of pictures in a standing position.  They clearly show that the skin of the labia majora is loose.  I'm waiting for a followup response from his office.  I let you know what he says.

Of course, even if he is willing to do a revision waiving his fee, I'd still have to pay for the flight to Bangkok and all food and lodging expenses for a week or more.  It's one disadvantage of going to Thailand for GRS.  Still, the original surgery fee was only $7600.  With travel and lodging, the cost was way less than all options available to me here in the US. 

I just read the whole way through this thread with the kind of intensity I used to read Harry Potter with! Very helpful / informative / honest. Thank you Clara so much for this great information.

I hate to continue the deluge of requests, but is there any chance you could PM me photos as well? I'm scheduled for surgery with Chettawut in October 2017 and curious to see results beyond the 4 pictures on his website.

Thanks again, so valuable. Would love to hear more if you decide to keep updating!

Would appreciate if you could PM me too. Thanks!

I received a response from Dr. Chettawut concerning my complaint about the looseness of my labia majora.  He has agreed to doing a revision under local anesthetic.  I'd be required to stay in Bangkok for 12 days.  He wants 2 months advance notice of my intention to have the surgery.  I have some thinking to do.

Of course I have to pay for the airfare and lodging for a 12 day trip to Bangkok, but I may stay at one of Dr. Chettawut's approved hotels (Vertical Suite, Dusit Princess, Rama) at his special rate, and be picked up and dropped off at the hotel by his driver on the day of surgery.  Transportation to and from the airport is my responsibility.  The cost to go there round trip economy is much less than having a surgeon here in the U.S. do the labiaplasty, even though what needs to be done is relatively simple.  I'm still thinking about it, and leaning toward making the trip.
