It’s hard to describe, but I just feel this overwhelming sense of peace with my phalloplasty. Having a penis, just having one, has done so much for me. It’s come with challenges, especially in recovery, but the result for me has been a sigh of relief for my body and whole being.
—B, on the sense of peace his surgery brought
My penis isn’t exactly what I had hoped for, but overall I’m happy with my procedure decisions. I’m thankful that, before accessing surgery, I was able to have very frank conversations with my surgeons, nurse practitioners, friends and others about what my priorities were and what level of risk and recovery I was able to accept.
