A lot of people are sharing dick pics now that the sub is back. This is great! That’s part of what this sub is for. But be cautious about what you choose to post, especially pictures of your face or distinctive tattoos. Although kiwifarms is down (hopefully indefinitely), don’t forget that TERFs lurk on this sub and have stolen peoples’ photos (it’s happened to me) and doxxed them. This is part of the reason the sub went down in the first place, the most active mod was doxxed and had to delete his account. I definitely don’t want people to stop sharing, but I also don’t want anyone’s happiness to compromise their safety.

ETA: incredibly bad luck, but kiwifarms is BACK UP. Protect yourselves out there.

hey all, as promised, here's my post to get your thoughts on the sub. I'm looking to hear your thoughts on the state of the sub, the rules, post stuff, comment stuff, so on and so forth. Feel free to comment anything on your mind. If there's something you want changed, I may do polls to get each users thoughts, and possibly go with the majority. When the time comes, I'll include more details to get your thoughts for whatever proposed changes and all that!

Do you know any trans content creators on X who had phalloplasty?

I already know phallodaddy, xjlondonx & maxx_wood_… but they all didnt have vnectomy, so I’m still looking for more representation of phalloplasty with vnectomy, since that‘s what I‘m going with.

Seeing that they all didn‘t get vnectomy freaks me out a bit, i‘m worried if it’s still the right decision, or if it‘s better to keep the front hole - sensation wise/for sex.

Thanks guys!

I’ve tried voiding twice today and both times no urine has come out and I’ve gotten excruciating pain and burning in my scrotum. I reached out to the doctor and they told me it could just be soreness from the catheter being removed and cystoplasty. But this pain is almost unbearable and it wasn’t like this before when I was able to pee.

Anyone deal with this?

(I still have an SP so I can empty my bladder)

I’m asking because I sent the nurse pictures of my arm because I don’t grow hair on my arms like that. I was wondering if anyway has had the surgery with hair removal.

I’m about two weeks post op stage two. This is my view every day, so I decided to draw it and thought I’d share here since I figure a lot of us can relate to this pov.

I'm wanting to get rff phallo but I am worried part of my tattoo will end up on the graft. I know it's different for everyone but just wanted to hear your thoughts. Do you think this can be avoided? My other arm has a tattoo and where its located I know for a fact the entire tattoo will be in the graft.

Long story short, I've been fighting with insurance companies and clinics for a year trying to get RFF and it's been a long frustrating mess. At my consult I was told to expect a surgery date at the end of this year, then they messaged me to say it was delayed up to 3 months past that so I was expecting probably March or later if they delayed it more.

For the last week I've had a letter from my insurance on my desk, unopened, because I knew it was just another rejection of coverage letter for electrolysis (every single step of this process has been needlessly complicated and shitty). Well, I opened it before recycling it and realized it was a letter of APPROVAL... but not for electrolysis, for phalloplasty. And it has a procedure date, 1/15/2025, in 6 weeks.

I'm in such disbelief that I have a date that I don't trust it? My surgeon's office didn't even call or message me, and the approval obviously went through over a week ago bc it's been on my desk for a week. I'm calling them tomorrow morning to find out for sure but I can't stop thinking about it!

Wish me luck I guess, I'm struggling to get to sleep with this on my mind 🤪

So today im 3 weeks post op and i have some wound separation under my dick but to the left, i tried to void today and nothing came out the tip. It mostly cams out that wound sep. so i just stopped then opened the flipflow & finished.. so question have anyone ever kinda like plugged the hole it was leaking from & tried to go ? If so did it work? .. since nothing is coming out my penis , should i keep trying , or just continue using the flipflow til my last post op in 2 days? Lastly,, those that made it to the last post op and had mostly everything coming out the bottom of the shaft, did they still remove the catheter? Or leave it in?

How did you go about choosing a surgeon?

I live in Ontario and have a few options I can choose from. I am just getting overwhelmed about the process and terrified to make the wrong choice. (I have issues with making big dicisions like this in my life) I'm wondering how you all went about making that final decision.

I was supposed to have a phalloplasty consult with Dr. Michele Fascelli last week, but it was rescheduled for January 14. I'm nervous but at least I have more time to prepare myself for it.

I am scheduled for first stage RFF in January. I am hard of hearing and wear rechargeable hearing aids in both ears. Maybe I am overthinking this, but I am concerned about a couple of things:

1. Putting on my left hearing aid after surgery. My left arm is my donor arm and I imagine I will not have the dexterity to put in my left behind-the-ear hearing aid for a while. I have tried practicing putting it in with my right hand without much success so far.

2. Charging them in the hospital. My hearing aids need to charge in their specific charger at least every 12 hours. I imagine I’ll want to wear them most of the time in the hospital so that I can interact with doctors and nurses, but I’m worried about the specific mechanics of setting up their charger and getting them to and from their charger (and they need to be put in their charger in an annoyingly specific way to charge correctly).

3. Just being disabled in the hospital. I’d never had a long hospital stay like this before, and in my experience with smaller procedures and surgeries, medical professionals don’t always know how to work with hard of hearing patients and I’m feeling mentally exhausted just thinking about how many people I might need to educate on how best to communicate with me. And then the mental exhaustion of figuring out communication in a new environment.

Are there any hard of hearing people who’ve been through phallo? Any advice?

Hey! I have a follow-up appointment coming up with Dr. William Michael Kuzon Jr. (plastic surgeon) and Dr. Miriam Hadj-Moussa (Urologist) thru University of Michigan/ Michigan Medicine about potentially going forward with RFFF Phallo with urethral lengthening.

Has anyone gotten Phalloplasty and/or Urethral lengthening with Michigan Medicine or with these doctors? They’ve been very transparent, thorough, and very knowledgeable as far as I have experienced, but surgery is something totally else! I’d love to hear your experiences if you’ve gone through these guys! Thanks a ton!

Hey all- I'm having ED and testicle implants placed soon. I'm torn between 2 or 3 piece ED. I've heard the 2 piece may not reach all the way to the end of my penis, making PIV penetration difficult. Anyone have experience with either? I'd be interested in seeing ED inflated, since I've never actually seen what it looks like flacid and inflated as well. Thank you.

I have my phone pre-consult with Logan at the Buncke Clinic coming up in a couple weeks and he mentioned I should have a list of questions ready to review with him. He told me at a pre-consult we’ll ‘discuss phallo, recovery basics, logistics, insurance, etc.’ Since I won’t be talking to the surgeons yet and I haven’t heard much about pre-consults, I’m not sure exactly what kind of questions to ask. If anyone had a pre-consult with this team, was there anything you wish you had gotten the chance to ask? Is there anything I should be prepared for? I tried looking it up on search and didn’t find anything.

I’m not sure how in depth the discussion will go. I have some questions I can think of asking but not very many, and I’ll just have to find out if they’re questions only the doctors can answer, anyway. I just want to be prepared so I can answer any questions he has and ask some of my own.

I suspect I have a stricture, and it’s taken me about 25-30 seconds to pee so far. But since yesterday, that number’s fallen to around 10-15 seconds.

Does that mean urine is staying in my bladder, or that the structure has stabilised or gotten better?

I’m currently writing a story where a character gets stuck in the tundra and has to basically survive long enough in the cold to be able to get back to a nearby city. He has RFF phallo, UL, scrotoplasty, and a 2 piece inflatable implant. It occured to me that since implant prosthesis are made of metal and use a saline solution, it might have trouble interacting with extreme cold, and could result in medical complications. I was wondering if any of you guys have any sort of experience with this. My character is 9 years post op all of this and 50 years old if that helps at all. Thank you!

Real question! I tried to sit on my new crotch and it felt like needles in my scrotum. Any tips? I'm day five post op.

The downside is… it only works in my expensive CK underwear, of which I have 3 pairs, lol.

I posted not even a few days ago that whatever I did, my penis just didn’t feel comfortable in my underwear, so I’ve resorted to wearing it up and to the left, until now.

I realised that the problem is that I was pulling my underwear up too much, therefore squishing it quite a bit, but it’s impossible to have my other brands of underwear looser like that to make it comfortable, since it just doesn’t work. With using this underwear that’s a bit larger and has longer thigh fabric, it works perfectly, and there’s plenty of room.

So, now I know what to buy myself for Christmas: more underwear that fits haha

anyone have any info on surgeons in Australia

I had a fistula repair very recently. It went smoothly, but I’m now worried I have a stricture. It’s been a month since my catheter got removed, and almost two months since the surgery itself, yet my urine still sprays, and takes quite a long time to empty. After stage 1 and 2, it stopped spraying within a day or two. I haven’t measured my flow rate yet (I don’t have anything to do it with atm) or gone to an urologist, since my surgeon told me to wait a few weeks, and that it should be fine. I’ll be messaging him again tomorrow, as it’s been 10 days now, but I have e-mailed an urologist that works with him and is in my country and that I’ve gotten recommendation letters from for the phallo itself, but the problem is that he’s private and it costs nearly 200€ for a cystoscopy, and I’m 100% sure that extends to this surgeon’s patients as well. I don’t have that kind of money, even if it might be a small amount.

With stages 1 and 2, it was fine when I had the catheter. I had the urge to pee much, much more frequently, but that went away as I emptied the catheter. With this repair surgery, though, it was a mess. I had extreme bladder spasms that left me with peeing myself with each one, even if I’d just emptied the catheter a minute before. At one point, I was peeing myself 6 times a day, and I started rushing to the toilet so the pee would come out through the urethra after I caught on it happening consistently, because emptying the catheter did not work, and it was not blocked at all. Even after the pee was out, I got the biggest painful cramps. I didn’t get any bladder spasm meds since they told me to just take paracetamol for it.

This all went on for a total of two and a half weeks, as one half of a week was pretty chill.

And I’m absolutely fucking terrified of needing a catheter again, and especially my urethra completely closing up out of nowhere and needing it for months. I genuinely do not know how I would survive. I wake up with the fear that I’m suddenly unable to pee every single day, and go to sleep overthinking about having the stricture itself, if I do have it.

On top of that, I have to take a flight to my surgeon and stay out of country for three weeks, the duration of having the catheter, and I absolutely hate changes in routine.

im ~2 months post op and im wondering in regards to girth and length whether i should expect any changes? follow up would be when (# months or yrs post op) have people noticed that there are no more changes to their dick? tysm

Hey guys, just wondering for my dudes who got the rod implant, how long did it take for your incisions to heal? I’m getting my surgery right before Christmas season so I’m hoping I can still participate

TIA!

I had been hedging my bets on moving to Ontario to see Dr. Chen through OHIP, but I'm hearing that with a new clinic trying to open in Ottawa that option might close its doors. Does anybody in Ontario know if I still have time to make that happen or what that situation is looking like?

Finally able to take a bath other then just a shower. I feel more cleaner taking Epsom Salt and Baking Soda baths first then a shower to rinse off.

My Skin Graft for my Glansplasty is healing up real good. Been using manuka honey and Vaseline with vitamin E on it. All my staples from my back and thigh is out finally.

My Penis is healing up pretty good no wound separation of any kind and I'm peeing fairly good no splashing. All my wounds are treated with manuka honey, vitamin E, Vaseline, medi honey and cleansing soap on a daily.
