I am two years post-op phalloplasty today. Hard to believe two years have already gone by! 😮 . . Going into surgery I had no idea that The next couple years would be filled with having surgery every few months or so... either for a stricture repair or an arm graft revision. However, I am happy to report that I am now stricture free and I only have one more phalloplasty surgery ahead of me and that is for the erectile device in September. This chapter in my life is finally coming to a close in the near future. People always ask if it was worth it with all of the complications it entailed. 100% yes! No ones life is complication free and to me, the biggest complication was not being born with a penis so really... how much worse could it get? 😂 This surgery was no easy task but I’ve come our way stronger in the end because of it. . . So thankful to be living in a time where medicine allows for me to feel more aligned in my body and for my surgeons ( Dr. Chen and Dr. Lin specifically). If you are thinking of pursuing phalloplasty in the future my biggest tips would be: 1. Research your surgeons and the procedure ahead of time. 2. Therapy: you will need to mentally prepare yourself for both good and bad outcomes and also post-op depression. ( its inevitable so don’t think you are special and will escape it ). 3. A good support system: Friends, family, etc. you are going to need help. Maybe even someone willing to wipe your butt 😆 . . Happy 2nd Birthday to my penis! ( usually people my age have actual two year olds and I’m just celebrating my dick 🤷🏻♂️) . . #phalloplasty #bunckeclinic #drchen #drlin #pridemonth #pride #trans #transgender #transman #ftm #bottomsurgery #lifewillbethedeathofme #phallo #happybirthday #transguy #tbt https://www.instagram.com/p/Byqzf1fAqsz/?igshid=338qg3gdu6cv
