Everything went well, now resting for a little while 🔥

[oscarbottomsurgery]

Yesterday was the last day with the balloons in. I got rid of it and I’m now in the 2nd step of the process 🤩

[oscarbottomsurgery]

Last one was Friday ! Now 18 days pre op :)

[oscarbottomsurgery]

How does it feel the balloons? Is it weird? I'm not transgender but I find it all fascinating

Really weird !! Feels a bit like a punch in the stomach when I move too much 😂 but most of the time I just feel a bit pressured on the tummy area

400mL in each balloon !! 🎈

[oscarbottomsurgery]

dude i hope this isn't insensitive at all, but damn, your hysto scars look cool as fuck? i had my hysto done laparoscopically so no scars at all, but your results almost make me wish i had scars!

Thank you but why is that?? 😂

I couldn’t take a video but here are 2 pictures of the process, I promise next time I’ll get the video 😂

We’re now at 300mL each :)

(The yellow part on my skin is betadine, not blood)

2 weeks post op - Left side brings pain at night and I still can’t walk properly but overall pain is manageable :)

On monday or tuesday we'll start filling the balloons (50 to 100mL, depending on pain), tell me if you'd like to see a video of it and I'll do :)

This is the hematoma that just appeared, approx. 5 days post op (each day with additional colors 🤣)

Here you can really see that balloons take a lot of space (left side)

Day 6 post op - Scars are great, balloons pull a lot on the skin but I hope the swelling will go down with a few more days

[oscarbottomsurgery]

D1 post op (⚠️TW - fresh scars)

Here are the scars ! I’ve got 200mL in each balloon which is why it’s already swollen.

The bottom scars are where the balloons were inserted and the upper ones are where the port-a-cath was inserted (it’s used to inflate the balloons each week)

Surgery lasted 1:30 and I did well!

Waking up was a bit tough but as the day went on everything went better ! I haven’t seen the scars yet, tomorrow I guess

[oscarbottomsurgery]

Just woke up, I’m okay

[oscarbottomsurgery]

Surgery will be tomorrow at 9am :)

Just got a mail from my surgeon and despite covid-19 my surgery is maintained on July 16th (should have been on July 15th but doesn’t really matter) 🎉🎉🏥

Abdominal / Suprapubic phalloplasty

As I didn’t find any information about this topic, I figured you could find interest in this post !

As far as I’m aware, 5 out of the 7 surgeons performing phalloplasty in France offer this technique. It’s broken down into 6 stages to reduce operating times and risks as much as possible. The final scar is similar to the one you get from a tummy tuck (look it up on google): discreet and easily hidable.

1st stage : Tissue expansion is accomplished by placing 2 balloons like expanders underneath the skin between your belly button and your pubic area. Over the next 3 months, the expander is filled with saline solution (saltwater) causing the skin around it to stretch and grow. Once the balloons have reached 800 mL (28-30 fl oz) each, the tissue expander is ready to be removed, which leads to the second surgery.

2nd stage : Tubing consists in the removal of the skin expanders and the creation of a penis thanks to the newly generated skin. The neo-penis is attached on both sides (your belly button and your pubic area), allowing a good vascularization and good healing (the complication rate drops)

3rd stage : Flap removal is undergone which allows your penis to hang and not be attached to your belly still.

4th stage : Urethroplasty (½) is performed in two stages to reduce the complications rate drastically. The neo-urethra is created with thin layers of skin removed from your thigh.

5th stage : Urethra connection (2/2) ; glansplasty, vaginal closing and clitoris burial can be performed if desired.

6th stage : Erectile device & testicular implants

Theoretically, 3 months are to be waited between stages 1 and 2, stages 2 and 3, and stages 3 and 4. The time between stages 4 and 5 varies a lot depending mainly on complications. Overall, the whole process is completed in 18-24 months (with urethroplasty)

I know it can be hard to picture the process, here is an illustration (TW: surgery illustration)

Almost 4 months post op !!

You can’t really see the scars unless you look closely
