Why I prefer metoidioplasty

- I am contemplating having lower surgery... I am leaning towards meta rather than phallo, and in this video I explain my reasons.

I appreciate you raising awareness on the option of metiodioplasty. I just came out of the hospital after hysterextomy and in a few months will schedule a date for my metoidioplasty. Many trans men think it's all about having a bigger penis, but undergoing phalloplasty is way riskier (and in my opinion less aesthetically pleasing) - but each to their own!
Everytime I feel uneasy I just look at pictures of the famous statue of "David" by Michelangelo, as back then a small penis was considered to be of high intelligence... so another reason why small sizes aren't bad at all! :)
Had the same with David statue mate ;) hope your surgery date is scheduled. Mine it's on a way. I also think - and I saw a lot of videos and photos - that phallo looks less natural, phallus is too pale and always very bulky, so even if penetrative sex is a big advantage of it, you have to bare in your pants huge deal of a tissue.
I like how logical you are! And how you think things through. Seems like great reasons.
Thanks!
I've watched you for over 6 years and I'm so glad to see you do so well.
Phallo is “sketchy “ lol! I think you summed up my feelings as well.
We are on similar modes of thought. Currently I’m not really considering bottom surgery, but if I was ever to have it meta is my choice.
Glad I watched this! I never knew about “The Rod” that makes me feel better in case I am not big enough to use a urinal naturally.
First off, you look GREAT! I love the facial hair!
I'm also leaning towards meta, phallo is too intense. At this point I'm really just deciding between meta and no surgery at all. Really appreciate you making vids like this, it helps me work through all the pros and cons as well.
Thank you! :)
Thanks for this video, really helpful to hear the pros and cons of the different surgeries. To be fair your videos have helped me a lot with my transition in general, I can't thank you enough to be honest 👍
Thank you! I'm so happy that my videos have helped you!
Nice video! And dop T-shirt! Were have you bought it? 🙌🙌🌟🌟
Hey, very thorough video and that’s some great looking facial hair!:) Your consultation is with Dr. Chen? Is he still with Brownstien/Crane or is he working somewhere else? Although I’m pretty settled for now...I can see having surgery at some point. Thanks for documenting your journey.
Hey! Nice to hear from you. :) No, Dr. Chen has his own practice now; gurecon.com
I've heard some not-great stories and comments about the Brownstein Crane practice... the most major is that Dr. Crane personally has 8 malpractice suits against him right now.
Nice and thanks bro...
I would do the metoidioplasty if I were in your shoes. Safety first.
Also I remember you had difficulties with keloid scarring. I don't know if this would have any bearing on lower surgery, but I suppose it would be something to bear in mind also.
Yeah, that has been on my mind, and I plan to ask the surgeons about it. Thanks for your concern. :)
Im very lucky that my Phalloplasty has had minimal complications and the one i had a pill heal fix it.
I have feeling frm balls to head of my penis but yes allot of people have complications . scars dont scare me, I didnt mind but i deffinitly knew what i wanted :) thanks for the share cause i know some people need this type of video :) u deffinitly need to see the cons.
One pro thing whit Meta is that you can always go over to Phallo in the future. I have had meta but now I'm looking in to getting MLD Phallo.
How is the mld ?
@@jack11263 it's when you use the back as a doner side. But the scar is not that visible.
I had a consultation whit my surgent and the teknik I will have is Thoracodarsal artery perforator flap (TDAP) it is similar to MLD.
I'm thinking about maybe do a video about 🤔 I'm hoping that I will have the first stage in fall😊
That will be great .. if you make a video about it . Thank you and sorry for my english
Can I have a simple meta with testicular implants first, and maybe if I decide later , have UL?
@@topplayatopplaya9296 I really don't know. I think it would be possible but that is a question you need to ask your surgent. Way don't whant UL?
What's the average size of metadioplasty and after how much inch it will stop growing
Do you have any fear when it comes to surgery about the chance of colloid scaring happening again?
When I talked to Dr. Chen 3 years ago (I actually had a phone consultation about metoidioplasty back then), he said genitals are not really susceptible to keloid scarring, but I will definitely ask again.
How much does it grow with metoidioplasty i wonder 2 inches
Do check out what is / what isn't possible with the surgeons you have consultations with. I found out that some of the things I believed from the online research I had done were not always entirely accurate. If I could go through this process again I think I would go to my first consultation with a clear picture of my priorities rather than with a fixed idea of what I thought would be best for me. My mind has changed about my options again and again.....
That's interesting, thanks for the advice.
I am 6 months and 12 days post op first stage Phalloplasty I unfortunately waiting for my second stage (I'll finally be able to stp and get testicular implants) I choose to wait for the erection device to improve because I have a fear of the complications and I hardly have a sex drive and I never had a gf in my life so that's my reason to wait for the implant to improve
If you whent with phallo couldn't you later get it tattooed to hide the scars?
Well, there are lots of scars associated with phallo - you'd have to get lots of tattoos. There can be scar lines in the groin area, and of course the big arm scar. Tattooing scar tissue can be very problematic, because scar tissue is not regular skin. It doesn't have the proper skin layers to hold ink well, and depending on the scar, it may be too thin to be properly tattooed. Plus there can be a "step" where the regular thick flesh of the arm transitions abruptly to the very thin flesh of the scar area where the skin and subcutaneous fat was removed to use for the phallus. So that abrupt change in skin thickness/type could be quite visible even with a tattoo. I think it would be a bad idea to go into phalloplasty thinking you'd get an arm tattoo later; it's very likely that would not work out.
Ah, yeah wasn't thinking how scar tissue isn't the same as normal skin. Thanks for the reply.
You are such an inspiration to all of us who want to transition. I hope you get the surgery
Wait there’s another way besides harness for penetrative sex? This really intrigues me as I want to get a harness but at the same time am reluctant due to dealing with harness itself in the bedroom and if it would help my dysphoria or worsen it.
Well, the prosthetic I was talking about would only work for someone who had testicles, because it essentially is strapped onto them. So it would not be an option unless you had lower surgery.
But anyway, I have dysphoria when using a harness, but being able to use a dick totally makes up for that. For me, it is worth it. With one of my harnesses, I wear boxer briefs over it the whole time, because for me I feel less dysphoria seeing the underwear than seeing the harness.
TheSLOfox thanks for the feed back! I’ll have to look more into it
Check out Rodeoh harnesses! They are underwear with an o-ring, so no harness to hide. I really dislike strappy harnesses in the bedroom so these were a total game changer for me & my partner.
@@bomberita2008 I think I may have heard of that just didn't know where to get it. Thanks!
Great video. I can’t make up my mind, myself. If I was going to get bottom surgery, it’d be meta but I’m scared of complications. I’ve got extreme bottom dysphoria but I’ve also got a lot of anxiety.
100%
I'm confusing with lower surgery whether I hv to take meto r phallo?
Whats your opinion on the prosthetics that are being developed? Ive decided to wait to see how those goes because it seems more like a penis. It can get hard withought a rod, you can pee and pack as well. And have sex where it supposedly stimulates you in some way? If you didnt know about it I guess this is me telling you about them. It may be an option for you inbetween surgery
SO CUTE 😍😘
Your so cute
Thank you for your sharing. I am the beginning and am 61
Thank you! Good luck to you!
Like the cover of Hung Jury 😂
Some of us trans guys are perfectly fine with what we have because it works great and dont want to risk losing being able to orgasm and definitely dont want to go thru all that pain and possible infections from going under the knife. I'm already 37 years old. Theres no way I'd put myself thru lower surgery.
Well, if you're happy with what you have, then that's awesome. Not all of us are the same. With lower surgery these days there is very low risk of losing the ability to orgasm, and retaining that ability is basically guaranteed with metoidioplasty; otherwise I wouldn't be considering it. Many transmen have misinformation and misunderstanding about lower surgery.
I know this might sound weird. But when you say some trans men are happy with what they have, what do you mean? Like the female parts they were born with? Please excuse me. I am embarrassed lol. I don't know anything about these surgeries.
@@gailgunderson5163 yes I am perfectly happy with the parts I have because my parts work great. I get sexual satisfaction with them. But some trans guys do not feel happy with their parts and they choose to have surgery. I dont want my parts cut up and I cant afford the surgeries anyways cuz they're super expensive. Plus u end up having to get electrolysis on your skin to remove hair and then they cut that skin off to form a penis so then you're stuck answering the question to everyone why u have such huge scars. Some are on thighs some are on arms. I also do not want my parts ("manhole") sewed up. I use those parts and I cant imagine having them sewn shut never to use them again. I cant imagine how painful the recovery process is for bottom surgery. I have to work full time and I know for some of those surgeries you have to be off work for 2 or 3 months at a time. I cant even save up for top surgery ($6,000) so theres no way I'd ever be able to save up for bottom surgery ($20,000). I very much want to get top surgery soon. I've been on T for two years and I'm so sick of binding. Thanks for your question, it's no problem for me to answer truthfully. I want to educate people if they are inquisitive.
There is a less invasive surgery called metoidplasty and it doesnt require as much surgery time and recovery but they do have to stretch your urethra and take skin from the cheek of your mouth on the inside which sounds super painful so I would never do that one either.
Gail Gunderson iT means Some trans Guy have not dysphoria with bottom genital.
Why not leave well enough alone and get a strap on. You seem like a thoughtful guy. Save all that major surgery.
👍🙃😁
I really fancy Allen....gorgeous bloke ...😁
Bro I'm also transman I hv confusion to do phallo r meto meto hv small penis phallo hv avg penis but can v hv feel
If you want to sleep with men you have to take into consideration they are obsessed with size and large guys are much desired and held up in high regard socially. A lot of gay men have insecurities about their size and wish they were bigger than average.
Wow transhandsome hihihi luvs u
Your a handsome guy, your hesitance to surgery is absolutely justified! Speaking as a health care professional having worked decades in hospitals I am horrified that a young person, not savvy to medical ways, would alter perfectly healthy organs with these surgeries/procedures. Myself a content male, the outcome seems not worth it, when considering what could go wrong just from hospital stays namely uncontrollable infections (very common!) recurrent incompetent surgeries/complications ~~ list goes on dear. Urination is nothing to mess with, keep what you have being a man ~~
Can trans man become father?
a trans man cannot be a biological father, can't get someone pregnant. But a trans man could potentially bear a child himself, if he chose to. Or he could be a father by adopting a child or by his partner having a baby via a sperm donor or something.
Its interesting how Trans men or Trans masculine men are cuter, and more confident than CIS😉
Is that supposed to be a good thing? No matter if their are cis or not, they are just men
@@anartaccount8987 Yes, "H" granted there are some a- holes or pompous jerks in the bunch. You sound offended. Trans men and women are not Just, we are more than Just. Example are you just "H"?
Isn't the flopping around part of the male make up? You are going on a journey to be male. We come to our issues
As a gay cis man attracted to trans men, I prefer the idea of metoidioplasty and I agree with everything you said.
i want a penis but maybe not the size of my thumb 😭. phallo also seems really sketchy so this is really hard. i’m also not even trans yet because i always think about how other people would think about me and i also think about the struggle with picking a name and all the other stuff and i really need to learn how to not care about what others think.
