Congrats ! I hope you have a speedy recovery ! My question is: what exactly is the difference between a vaginoplasty and a vulvoplasty, and the part about full depth? I sort of can work out an idea from the names but I guess I'm wondering what's the details that make it either/or?
Strictly speaking, a vaginoplasty normally includes a vulvoplasty, but the reverse isn't always true. A vulvoplasty without a vaginoplasty means no vaginal canal, and so no depth.
Sometimes people will use vulvoplasty to mean a shallow-depth vaginoplasty, I was just specifying I had full-depth (which has a longer recovery time and more risks of complications. Basically with a vulvoplasty / shallow-depth you have labia, a clit, etc. but no vaginal canal. With a full-depth vaginoplasty you have all the things a vulvoplasty provides (labia, clit, etc.) as well as the vaginal canal (as Ada points out).
