Post-op  recovery: sex change recovery time

After reassignment surgery, pain that is easily controlled by medication usually will subside in a few days.  Dressings have been applied.  we will be replaced a few days.  Sutures will be removed within a week of surgery.

Although the surgeon has made every effort to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible. They are the inevitable result of surgery.  Minimal swelling and discoloration will disappear rapidly.

Healing process may occur for weeks or even months following surgery.  Dilation will be given an instruction during follow up visits. The decision on when to return to work and normal activities depends on how fast you heal and how you fee.  To permit proper healing, you should avoid over activity and refrain from overhead lifting.

Treatment after surgery for sex reassignment surgery

After release from hospital you will recover with the aid of liaison at the hotel.

During recovery in the hotel, you must follow instructions including:

1. Dilating is the most important thing you can do to ensure the success of your surgery. If you do not dilate responsibly, this can result in the shortening of depth and width of the newly made vagina because of the scar contracture.

2. Failure to dilate properly can result in serious injury. You will be instructed to gently dilate into the right direction after the vaginal packing is removed.

3. Dilation can be painful for the first weeks, but is essential for developing maximum

4 Depth and ensuring post operative functioning of the neovagina. More instructions will be given after surgery

During the recovery period and after each dilation session:

- The wound should be washed gently with Hibiscrub (pink color) in the shower followed by douching while seated in the toilet:

- Douche solution (proportion) = 5-10 ml (cc) of Beta dine solution mixed with 1L of water or until the container is full.

- Insert the douche to full depth, squeeze, and hold tightly the container.

- While holding tightly the container, extract the douche;

-  Keep the wound dry and apply Beta dine solution with cotton balls; and apply Kemicitine ointment with a cotton applicator. If there is some bleeding, press or apply pressure with a dry cotton ball to the site for 15 minutes. During the first weeks after surgery, feminine knapkins (tampons) should be changed several times per day due to normal vaginal bleeding during recovery.

- After one month of SRS operation you will be required to start applying Premarin cream to your neo-vagina. Apply two times a day to soften your neo-vagina. This would generally take around six months.

- You can return to female hormones as before surgery or after two weeks. You should consult your endocrinologist to re-adjust the dosage. A sudden change in hormone levels, for some individuals, may result in the fluctuation of emotion.

- For SRS patients – a full post-operative care kit necessary for dilation, including a -piece dilator set specially manufactured for GRS as design by Preecha Aesthetic Institute.
