4 months post GRS revision with Dr Marcio Littleton

Hi all,

I had my vaginoplasty with Dr Littleton in March of 2022.

Overall my healing went well but I ran into some minor complications (slight wound dehiscence, the scar on my mount pubis not healing well, excess erectile tissue and some scar tissue at the vaginal entrance). This happened due to a combination of probably being overly active too quickly, being scared to be too aggressive when dilating and therefore not using the bigger dilators quickly enough and my body's tendency to create scar tissue and hypertrophic scars so I decided to have a revision with him. This was about four months ago now.

Recovery from my revision went much more smoothly than the first time round. He redid the scar on the mount pubis, which has healed much better this time (I taped it for about 3 months to let the tissue regain it's strength and help withstand the areas tension, will be using a silicone gel from now on for the next couple of months), he also took away some scar tissue and erectile tissue (the latter seems to have come back?), finally he did a lipofilling of my labia majora to give them a fuller appearance.

I'm much happier with the esthetic result now than I was before the revision. I chose Dr Littleton and his jejunum graft technique primarily because I know I have a tendency for creating excess scar tissue and raised scars so PI wasn't an option. I also knew beforehand that I wouldn't look completely natal and thought I had made my peace with it but am still struck with insecurities. Possibly because I don't have a lot of experience with vulvas, possibly because I esthetically really didn't mind my penis. (just its function, besides being pretty it didn't spark joy so I Marie Kondoed it)

So I guess I have two questions:

1) is it possible for erectile tissue to come back and can I get it removed by a different, local surgeon? It really gets in the way of sexual intercourse and comfortable penetration so I'd like to get it fixed asap.

(Dr Littleton is a great surgeon, but his team's communication is really bad and I don't want to go through all that stress for a third time)

2) what do you honestly think of my esthetic results?

I know the insecurities I have are probably unnecessary but I'm also scared that the people I've asked that I know irl are just being kind to me when they say it looks okay.

Sorry for the long text, I tried to include as much information as possible!

If you have any additional questions please ask!
