After a year from when I scheduled my initial consultation to now, it finally happened! The procedure took about 5 hours at Henry Ford doing the robot assisted hybrid PPT-PI vaginoplasty. Currently in recovery for about 6 days before I’ll hopefully be discharged to go home to continue my recovery.
The buildup and anticipation leading up to the surgery date was probably the worst part so far. My pain is currently tolerable, but we’ll see how it is once I need to start moving around more 😅
I was told that the dilation schedule will be the same as other methods, but they had significantly more tissue to create the vaginal canal and aesthetic outer vagina with this method. It’s less likely to lead to atrophy and prolapse this way, but it is a more invasive surgery as they enter through the stomach to pull down the peritoneal tissue.
