Feminizing vaginoplasty patients doing well
Two patients done last week are doing well. Each quite attractive, youthful and with responsible and mature (mentally)boyfriends. Both had vaginal augmentation with scrotal grafts. Without that, they would have not easily been able to have penetrating sex. When a patient starts to ask me as soon as I walk into the room, how am I doing, rather than the other way around, I know she’s well on the road to recovery. The first on her 3rd post-operative day is already walking aorund the neighborhood. Told her to slow down, but she is very energetic and aside from a dressing, hard to tell she had quite a bit of surgery. Also a very subtle observation, she looks and sounds even more feminine than before surgery. Can’t explain that, but the way she relates to her boyfrioend, I can see clearly this is a woman. Wish you could be here to see it as I do, but the difference is unmistakable. Did she have an MTF sex change or did I merely remove some trappings that didn’t belong to her?
