Male to Female Alteration

Surgical Procedures

Vaginoplasty

The following methods are used to create a neo-vagina; skin grafting method, vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon cut method, penile flap and penile scrotal flap method. Typically, the Penile or Penile Scrotal Inversion technique (by tucking in penile skin into perineum) and Sigmoid Colon Cut Surgery (by lower abdomen incision using its full-thickness grafts) are widely practiced.

(1) Sigmoid Colon Cut Method

Advantages
a. Natural-looking end result of neo-vagina
b. No neo-vaginal contractures
c. The fluid secreted from intestine will act as a natural lubricant during sexual intercourse.
d. Desirable from the functional aspect of neo-vagina.

Disadvantages
a. Prolonged recovery period due to an extensive surgery through abdominal cavity.
b. May develop complications such as peritonitis, intestinal adhesions and necrosis of intestinal graft.

(2) Penile Inversion Method

Advantages
a. Its simple surgical procedure can greatly reduce possible complications and related side effects.
b. No risk of causing peritonitis or intestinal adhesions associated with colostomy.
c. Rapid recovery-Four to six days of hospitalization.

Disadvantages
a. Requires continuous neo-vaginal dialation.
b. Possible neo-vaginal contractures after surgery.
c. Requires artificial lubricant.

2. Neutralization of Adam’s Apple

Although varied from individuals, Adam’s Apple (uvula) is one of the most prominent features of the male anatomy. Adam’s Apple can be eliminated by making small surgical incisions along the skin fold under local anesthesia-leaving almost no scars. If desired, additional work such as neo-vaginoplasty or breast augmentation can be done at the same time. The surgery will take about 30 minutes to one hour and yields no side effects.

3. Voice Surgery

This surgery will readjust the pitch of the patient’s voice. As part of its physical characteristic, vocal cord can be altered using laser and electricity, but it is hard to predict the final outcome and often requires re-operation. However, through the recent indirect treatment using cartilage plate pull method, the patient’s vocal cord can be safely altered from male bandwidth (100-150Hz) to female bandwidth (200-300Hz).

The surgery is conducted by making small incisions on the neck under local anesthesia and will take one hour. It is necessary to allow ample time to rest the voice, and the final result will show in 6 to 12 months. The surgery is recommended before the SRS.

4. Breast Augmentation Surgery

It is a widely practiced surgery to enhance and heighten the patient’s sense of femininity. Can be conducted in conjunction with other operations such as vaginoplasty.

Vaginoplasty result: Preecha Tiewtranon (2003)

preecha-2003.html

I had SRS/Breast Augmentation surgery with Preecha in 2003.

Photos of the outcome are attached.

I have a feeling (call it woman’s intuition) that Preecha did not even do my surgery. Why? Preecha has been trying to expand his work with lots of new staff members. My surgery was performed immediately after another identical operation. My belief is that Preecha did the first surgery, and then had an assistant perform mine. Preecha has NOT denied this, despite several specific comments to him.

Preecha claims to be able to produce a natural looking/feeling clitoral/labia area in a one step procedure.

God forbid all his outcomes look this atrocious. Just this week I was with a man in an intimate situation, and he determined that I was a transsexual simply by feeling that area. Call him an ‘enlightened sensitive’ man, perhaps unusual, but how would you like to have been in my situation? Fortunately, he hasn’t harmed me… yet.

Now, I get to live with more fear. Please warn your readers NOT to consider Preecha for their surgeries, it could be hazardous to their health, perhaps deadly!!

Do you post photos of surgeon’s work?? Feel free to use these photos to warn others.
