(As mentioned in the title, posting for my beautiful wife (she/they)! Hope that's ok, if not mods please delete. Thank you wise trans Hexbears love you)

I have been on HRT for 2 years and I just had my first consultation with an OB/GYN and wanted to get y'all's experience with full depth vs shallow depth vaginaplasties.

I was originally leading towards a full depth because I love the idea of penetration, but I am in a closed marriage with a cis woman so the penetration would just be for my enjoyment.

After talking with the OB/GYN, I am wondering if shallow depth would be better for me. I won't have to worry about electrolysis or dilating and it will get me all the important bits that I care about (I.e. not a penis and balls)

So, for my girlies that have had bottom surgery, what did you decide and what was your reasoning? Thanks a bunch xoxo

i got my vagina installed about 4 years ago, and i went for full depth because i also loved the idea of penetration, even tho i mostly date women. the first time i got fingered while making out was life changing.

    talkin' vaginoplastyforgive me if this has any typos, i am ill and have not had enough sleep the last few days. lea-sad

    i found this choice difficult and stressful when i made it as i thought penetration would not interest me. also a lesbian, also in a committed relationship. the thing that eventually got me to opt for full depth is that after hair removal is said and done, the actual recovery process is grueling whether you are doing minimal depth or full depth, with the only difference in the latter for recovery being dilation.

    2 years out from a penile inversion vaginoplasty, i am so happy i chose to go for full depth. dilation is hard that first year, but have found having the option to include penetration to be really positive, even as a stone top.

    in addition, once the tissue is discarded for minimal depth, if you later choose to go for full depth, you have less options to get the needed tissue, and they come with their own risks. though i have met several comrades with pfv vaginoplasty and they also have positive reports about it.

    hope this helps, if you want any clarification or have any questions, please feel free to ask. will get back with you when i'm not in a sickness haze.

    do whatever would make you happiest. your body your choice, a partners opinion on it really doesnt matter. "so the penetration would just be for my enjoyement" seems like a very strange statement to me, not only is it not entirely accurate (strap ons exist, plenty of lesbians love using them) but also,,, so? youre allowed to enjoy having a pussy for yourself lol

    I'm pre op, no interest in being with men, still going to opt for full depth I think. I think I'd like bottoming and want the "full" vagina. Recovery is probably the biggest advantage of zero depth- but once its done, its done and I'll have the "full, proper" vagina I want. I would hate to regret my choice and feel like I am missing a part of me. Even though I think not having my current genitals is the biggest part and I'm sure zero would be a massive dysphoria improvement... I want the whole thing.
