Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS)

To many sex reassignment surgery (SRS) is the be all and end all. But in reality it is only one step along the way. To me it is very important that any one that is contemplating SRS should be very certain that they will be happy living as a woman. To live fulltime and be prepared for the emotional hurt of maybe losing all your friends and family members (this may not happen but there is a risk). SRS does NOT make you into a woman all it does is remove your penis and have a vagina simply speaking. If you are struggling feeling feminine then seek help. To me it is very important to see a psychiatrist that specializes in gender issues.

The reason I chose Dr. Saran Wannachamras http://www.doctorsaran.com/index.php
Are many so I will list then not necessarily in order of preference

1) Is one of the qualified plastic surgeons that is known for his good work and was trained by Dr. Preecha.
2) Having seen the results of his work I was more than hoppy with the look
3) The reports of the new vaginal canal had good sensitivity and the surrounding area
4) He used combination of a penile skin inversion and skin graft
5) As a qualified plastic surgeons he could also do Facial feminization surgery (FFS) later if required
6) The cost of US$ 12000:00 for SRS and Brest implant surgery and that all surgical and hospital costs where included
7) The time the operation would take
8) The care and after care he supplies. From the time I would get off at the airport to the time I would leave Bangkok
