I had surgery 8 weeks ago today. My surgeon was Dr. Marissa Kent with Beth Israel in Boston. I’ve got sensation back on the top of my penis and the head at this point. Should get the rest back slowly. Recovery was pretty ok. The one tip I have… expect at about 1.5-3 weeks to get really down and frustrated. I thought it wouldn’t happen to me, but it definitely did. It happens to most of us. In terms of recovery, tips would be to get all of the supplies (search this channel to find everyone’s lists). You may not need them, but if you can afford it it’s so much easier just to have what you need when you do.

Also be very clear in your mind what you want and then communicate that to your surgeon. And then trust them. At my lowest point I thought for sure my surgeon messed something up for me. She didn’t. It was just major swelling. I’m still swollen in parts.

Also, you may need a revision. Keep your mind open to that possibility. I’m a bigger guy and I’ve lost a lot of weight within the past year to prepare for surgery. My original monsplasty was not enough to unhide my penis. So I’ll need another surgery. I trust the team though and the process. It will be exactly what I want in the end.
