📚 Megathread SRS and GRS surgeons and associated horrors - the medical community of experimental surgeons, the secret community of home butchers

Chinwe Kpaduwa. Seems OP scrubbed any mention of it due to her intent to pursue litigation, but based on another comment she made, the statue of limitations for the surgery may have already passed by now (though I don't know anything about California malpractice law, so take it with a grain of salt).

Malpractice cases require that the plaintiff can prove there was a deviation from the standard of care that directly caused the poor cosmetic outcome. Because troon surgery is all super secret techniques which vary between surgeons, it’s difficult to establish what “the norm” is and whether the doctors did something outside of that norm or failed to do something they should have done.

So basically: no refunds!

Thread tax.
The butchers of GRS Montreal have another dank pit carved into someone's son to offer us a glimpse into, but be very wary of looking too deep - legend has it that sometimes when you look inside, you can sense something else watching you...

I like how the fourchette necrosis formed the shape of a butterfly

Recognised that one instantly. Here's the original post ITT:

I always appreciate an update anyway, since it's been two entire years.

This chick was 219lbs (99kg) and 5'2" (157cm). The surgery was doomed from the start, even without the surgeon treating the skin like fabric. It's always exceptionally obese pooners who thinks that the doctor telling them to lost weight is transphobic, and not because there's aesthetic consequences for this kind of surgery.

Spoiler: BMI for reference

It always makes me lol when people start screeching that a doctor telling them to lose weight before a surgery is bad and fatphobic. NO YOU FUCKING IDIOT IT'S SO YOU DON'T SUFFOCATE YOURSELF ON YOUR OWN ADIPOSE TISSUE WHILE UNCONSCIOUS. That and having to cut through several inches of fat means you have to be sedated even longer than usual. Horrifying to realize how many dimwits treat surgery like magic instead of being put into a carefully monitored drug coma and cut open.

Also you can't suture fat so you have this whole internal slip-sliding going on, putting extra pressure on the wounds.

[I call shenanigans]

Only thing I can think of is that the tissue distributes differently when you’re lying down vs. when you’re standing up due to gravity, making it difficult to know what the final results will be like once the patient is up and walking. Surely there must be a way to estimate this before stitching everything back together?

That’s why pre-surgery the surgeon does his markup lines while the patient is standing up. The surgeon will pull the skin up and down and try to pinch the skin together, then draw the lines as close to where they think the cutting lines can join. These are the lines they start cutting to. This is why BMI comes into play for plastic surgery. If the surgeon can’t fold the skin together, they can’t make an accurate markup.
