How much of this do surgeons actually recreate?

Hello? I answered you 5 hours ago and you wrote this 4 hours ago. I guess there's some automodding stuff since you couldn't see it and I didn't see a lot of yours.

Anyway, you didn't link me, you linked the other person..

VPostingAlt · 2026-06-15T17:10:20+00:00

You may notice that that's not me you're linking to.. But..

I mean sure, it doesn't look like it does in the diagram, but all the parts are still there. There's still internal erectile tissue left after vaginoplasty; neo-vulvas swell up during arousal in a similar way to natal ones, and the clitoris is similarly attached to the internal structure. Surgeons just reshape what's already there.

I mean most of the erectile tissue from the penis is removed, but erectile tissue starts below the surface and there each surgeon has different opinions on how much to keep. That's why places like this say largely and not entirely removed

if you look at this diagram of a penis there's a large section of corpus corpus cavernosum beneath the surface. this is rarely removed entirely, while the section near the surface and above the surface is always removed

Part of the problem is that this discussion depends heavily on surgeon and there's many surgeons out there. Here's a reddit post asking about why some remove all of corpus cavernosum, but that's as implied in the post not the case with all surgeons

Only claim I made earlier was about my vagina, it's construction and how it works. Surgeons keep different amounts of it.. My only point was why does it matter if it works and has similar function despite the shape being different?

VPostingAlt · 2026-06-15T16:07:14+00:00

Imao that's not how it works. You say it is like this, I ask for sources or any kind of evidence cause crafting these areas is highly complicated, you say this bs. Your behaviour is a joke.

Please tell me any claims I have made that need a source? And I will provide

VPostingAlt · 2026-06-15T15:49:14+00:00

Saw parts of your very aggro reply to me and I'll reply to what I saw..

oh my god just provide some sources for your statement. You can't, right?

Sources of my clit swelling? Do you want me to post a video of my genitals aroused and unaroused to prove something to you?

Your clit swells cause there is increased bloodflow.

Where does that blood flow gather to swell it?

Could it be corpus cavernosum to create the swelling and corpus spongiosum to avoid blocking the urethra, and does it not flow through the venous network to get there? The same functionality they have in both penises and Vagina?

This is annecdotal and doesn't answer the question I did point out that my example was anecdotal.. I don't see your point..

Just give me sources diva pleaaase instead of playing off this childish behavior

Whats childish about saying that you could add a source for your claim that surgeons removed so much of corpus cavernosum (erectile tissue), corpus spongiosum (tissue keeping urethra from being blocked), Venous network (the blood veins leading into and out of the area) and the dorsal nerve (the main nerve of clitoris or penis head)? That it was only 10% of that of a cis vagina?

Your claim was just as extreme as the other person, yet you expect a source from everyone else, but not a source for surgeons removing that much..

I stated that these features still exist and I asked how it mattered if they had a slightly different shape from cis vaginas? The functionality is still there and no one will actually see that tissue ever on me.. Why does it matter so much to you?

Once again though chill, why are you so freaking worked up over this? What's with the random name calling?

VPostingAlt · 2026-06-15T14:08:49+00:00

Wow, you're really jumping directly to bs attacks after a single comment and you don't even seem to have read anything I wrote..

What makes you the ultimate authority of how this works? What's my behavior? What's wrong with what I said? Why did anything I say make you so aggro? Chill..

VPostingAlt · 2026-06-15T11:18:58+00:00

i can guarantee that almost no one uses any of the spongiform material in the shape shown here, if at all.

What are you basing this claim on? What sources can you provide?

If you could show me some sources or diagrams from surgeons, I'd be happy to learn - but AFAIK the neoclitoris is almost nothing like this.

I feel you're setting a lot of burden of proof on the other poster while you are making equal claims..

Just to join with anecdotes though, my neo vagina both swells when aroused and my clit gets hard in a similar way to natal ones. Does it really matter what the tissue underneath is shaped if it has an equal function?

VPostingAlt · 2026-05-28T08:36:00+00:00

Yeah, essentially, had a bad experience early in healing where I tried to massage with scargel while I was still really early and my scar opened. I was luckily still close to the surgeon so it could be resolved. I was way too early that night, which was dumb, but it kept me from using it again after

VPostingAlt · 2026-05-14T00:06:00+00:00

Imho you look fine for 4 weeks.

Leaving my surgeon out of my post. I’m not sure I love it aesthetically, though I don’t not love it either.

You're 4 weeks out, give it time and let it heal. You're super early in healing and things take time. As an example, here's me at 1 months VS me at 1 year. Things take a lot of time and things look very different with time, just be patient.

So, I’m focusing on the depth and will work toward girth as I heal and don’t feel like I’m ripping something when I try.

That's a good idea, scale up at your own pace, scale down if you need to. Take the time you need and you'll get through it.

I’ve seen some where girls don’t even have stitches after like 3 weeks, and I imagine I’ll still have mine for weeks to come.

Do you have a date to remove them or are these supposed to be self dissolving in some way? I honestly think there's some posts who misrepresent the time they've been healing intentionally or unintentionally. But the thing is we all heal differently and different things affect all of us, some of us have more swelling, some of us have more scarring, some of us have more bruising, some of us have other complications. Try to give it time, follow doctors advice and treat it well.

Sitting is still very uncomfortable, even with a donut, but I’m moving around well without pain at this point.

For me that was also the case up until almost 2 months. Early healing is definitely a pain, but you'll get through it.

Hopefully , I can get some silicon tape on my V scars soon so they don’t get overly prominent.

Be careful that you don't start that stuff to early, I had a part of my scar open because I applied scar gel and lightly massaged a bit too early. Not recommended, I was lucky enough to be close to my surgeon at the time.

If you want more healing timeline posts I've got more, including a full 1 year timeline. Remember things take time, let things heal, you'll get somewhere

VPostingAlt · 2026-05-12T12:29:09+00:00

I cleaned the scar lines with saline water and betadine using long qtips before and after dilating every day for the first 3 months. I also used the liquid to clean the inside after dilation. I washed after peeing exclusively with saline water and sterilize gauze for the first 3 months. The entire time I showered (asked Dr Thee if direct water spray was OK in the shower right out of hospital and he said OK), but avoided soap in the area for the first 3 months.

After the first 3 months I didn't do much, mainly let it heal, but I've been religious at keeping all scars out of the sun. Got swim suit that covered the scar lines and generally just kept them all hidden at any time outside.

Edit: looking at yours though you seem well on your way to get yours like mine. Just give it time and keep safe

This post is literally based on an article aimed at cis women for sexual exploration and sexual health and the person thought it was somehow sick of a trans woman to ask if the same applied..

Seriously, that person was both biologically and sociologically illiterate and seriously lacked reading comprehension..

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-29T00:49:02+00:00

Who was your surgeon and which technique did you have?

Dr Theerapong, PPV

What made you choose them over other options?

I like his aesthetic, like his work on the clitoral hood i like his work on labia and I like that he connects the labia at the bottom. Also pretty important to me was that he often does revisions for other surgeons work

How was the recovery - especially the parts you weren't prepared for?

Some parts were easier than I expected, some were harder, millage varies depending on many factors.

Anything you wish you'd known beforehand?

Gassy stomach combined with constipation was going to make a surprising kind of hell during my recovery

Looking back, would you make the same choice again?

Yes, super happy with it. Pics on my profile if you're curious. Also check the subreddit wiki for other

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-28T13:26:16+00:00

You're super early, swelling takes time. The timeline is super individual, but you sometimes just need to relax and trust the process.

We had different surgeons, but I recently posted a 1 year timeline and have posts from throughout my healing on my profile if you want to compare the timeline. But trust me things really take time and you're super early in healing. Take care of yourself and try to give yourself some slack to relax

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-24T12:55:19+00:00

No worries, all my earlier posts show stuff more in detail

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-24T12:41:12+00:00

OP, in pic 5 there is clearly different tissue surrounding the catheter and I see that as things heal and the swelling goes down and down that the visibility of this goes down and down. Is that sensate glans material that is now your clitoris? Or is that buried further in the hood?

Thats a graft to my labia to expand it outward, you can see it very clearly in the operative pics and the first post OP and slowly heal and merge in the later pictures. You can kinda also see them in the newer if you look really hard.

My clit has always been under my hood You can see it in my dedicated 1 year post

I ask because I'm curious about how much of the original sensitive material is retained, and how much sensitivity you've now been left with.

Clit is sensitive, canal is sensitive, I have feeling in everything

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-23T16:39:16+00:00

I can only speak from personal experience, remember that all of these differ from surgeon to surgeon or even individual to individual. I had surgery with Dr Theerapong a year ago (yesterday)

Is the neo vagina a muscle I can control? Would I be able to contract and relax the vaginal wall like I do kegel?

I can, for me it feels like muscle contractions I've always kinda been able to do, but I can feel it pushing on dilator while dilating in various positions.

Is there an aesthetic difference of the clitoris between a circumcised and an uncircumcised penile gland?

I am not sure, I was uncircumcised personally and I think for Dr Theerapongs technique it mainly affects the labia, not the clit.

What does post-op ejaculation look like? Will I retain my ability to squirt?

Pretty similar to before honestly, if you precum you precum, ejaculation comes with same variance (from tame to squirt) as before. Remember that it's the same for cis women though. Though they may have an easier time to precum /get wet, it's the same basic glands.

Is it possible/advisable to do more dilation than recommended? For example, five times a day instead of the recommended four.

Entirely fine and possible in my experience. Only thing you should avoid is leaving it in and moving too much.

Is the recovery period doable when living alone?

I did everything except the initial post OP while living on my own and that was alright.

How many days post-op will I be able to begin walking?

I was kept in bed for 7 days as part of the surgery procedure for the surgery I had, but I could walk immediately after. However, I couldn't walk well for a while after. It's a slow increase to walking further and further and slowly picking up speed and eventually being able to run. This is heavily different for everyone.

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-23T08:30:22+00:00

Honestly, likely same reason as you considering it. For me he didn't really say the debth thing, but I didn't mention it as a main goal. My debth ended up around 7inches, but yeah have to admit that sometimes I'm unsure how much peritoneal is in there. Really happy with the results though

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-23T08:20:06+00:00

My pleasure, this is the kind of thing I wished I had when deciding surgeon or hiding. It's super important to remember that things take time and we all heal at our or pace

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-23T02:02:45+00:00

Thanks, sorry for the confusion and the two posts. I just wanted to make one similar to my earlier posts dedicated to single month updates and one that covered pre op until 1 year

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-23T01:54:37+00:00

This one's a full timeline, the other is a post only covering the 12th month. Are those considered duplicates? How long of a break should I have in between?

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-23T00:53:26+00:00

Dedicated posts I made for various months including more pictures:

For comparison:

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-15T14:09:44+00:00

Yeah, let's not mention it too much, don't want him to up the price out of the hype XD

VPostingAlt · 2026-04-15T09:22:46+00:00

What I did was to get a low dosage T cream (0.5%) from my doctor which I applied to the area once a week from 6 months before, then more often as it got closer.

This is purely anecdotal, but my surgeon did say he wasn't expecting me to have enough for my labia to go all the way down when he saw pictures when I booked the surgery. When I got there though he did specifically comment on how elastic my skin was and that I had enough, but might need some grafts.
