GUIDE TO CHEAP SRS |
How To Come up With $10000 Dollars -Lily B. in 2006 Pinky McPherson got a new kitty.She go a student loan and immediately skipped town and went to Supporn. took her months of painful healing and at least one corrective procedure but she was ecstatic as a clam on ecstasy. If i can hold down a job for a little while longer i might take a vacation to the orient in less than 2 years. saving up $6-$10k is not impossible. for me its been 4 years of shit jobs and long unemployment and living in squats instead of paying rent and being frugal with the food and entertainment monies. Its also a kick in the head to be trying to save this cash up and keep thinking "shit... i have enough money to buy a truck now... or i could get some nice boots or books or tools...." . Right now i'm facing a difficult decision of whether i'm saving up for SRS or the opportunity to own my house $10k. hypothetically if i owned my house i could get a loan on it... maybe.... I've kept at it for years cuz i'm casual about it. my savings so far is ammassed from 2 years working in a tattoo shop,a few pr0n jobs, few months gutting houses, and now im working as a painter... plus there were a few bucks from dear dead grandpa. still far short but its trickling in. i work when opportunity is there and don't work when i want to do other stuff. i buy myself little things i want here and there to make working tolerable. i keep my money secret in a bank account i cant access or converted to postal money orders in a coffee can with their receipts kept elsewhere. i'm not out and i live in a community of dirty punk kids. i cant tell anybuddy i have a secret savings account. my friends have all ready commented that i compulsively work alot and still never have any money. i told them i spent it on drugs and booze. but really its hidden in a little pile and disappear on a mysterious vacation and reappear weeks later, in lots of pain, and totally broke, and still have big shoulders and hands and feet and other tr*nny looking problems. but more optimistic about my prospects with dating boys and getting arrested. cuz that is what SRS means to me. less dating anxiety and less prison anxiety. its important to know that trans women getting srs when they're poor and unemployable is possible. it just takes persistence and patience. I learned to be paitient and stop the dysforic anxiety with this thought : I've allready been in the body i have now my entire life and i've managed to have friends, screw lovers, and walk arround in public with this mangled mess of a body i came with. I want kitty, but I can do this as long as i have to. And even after my pussy gets normal, the rest of me will still be weird looking and catching most of the same old bullshit i been walking through in this world since forever. but i'll be able to be like, "yeah whatever world... i just got a real cool present. " Below is the document of her research that Pinky prepered and mailed to her interested friends. I double checked all the price information and links as of july-007. |
The $5000 Kitty -Pinky You'd asked about the info on cheap kitty, so I figured it would be more of a benefit for some people to post this up so thatyou guys know your options. I spent years putting all my resources and information together(most of it is memorized). NOTE: I recently learned a bit more about thailand and the way things run over there in regards to Transpeople and SRS. In the Thai language there are apparently up to 12 different words which can be used to describe what are all just labeled 'transpeople' in the US, each word directly related to the type of person. They even have a word which is the approximation for their version of 'genderqueer', which is alot more pleasing and less insulting. Previously I'd assumed that 'Katoey' was general slang for all transpeople in Thaliand, but as it turns out, that's alot closer to meaning "flamboyantly gay" + "street queen", although it's still used fairly frequently in general reference. There's another word just for "regular" girls, which I can't spell, but phoenetically sounds like "soh-bray-pey-sohn" and is said with a roll of the tongue. It's the very proper and nice term, and directly means "Girl with two souls", which, when I heard it, is closer to how I personally think about myself. Also, Transpeople are a very large chunk of the population within thailand, so unlike SRS in the US, SRS over there is treated more as a 'public service' & is priced accordingly. There are specialized surgeons like anywhere else for varying levels of cost, but generally lower cost = more general/standardized surgery, and mid/higher cost = the bells & whistles.</font> xoxoxo - Pinks AFFORDABLE SRS/FFS SURGEONS LOW(er) COST SRS(what I will refer to as 'no-frills) Pichet Rodchareon M.D. (board certified Plastic surgeon) 519 between Indramara soi 33 and 35 Soothisarn road ,Dindaeng district, Bangkok 10400 Thailand Mobile: 661 933 1010 Office tel.6626908000 secretary: 6690507009 (09.00am. to 07.00pm) SRS Summary:-------------------------------- Bangkok Plastic Surgery w/ Dr. Pichet Surgery Offered----------------------------------Cost----------------------------------Hospital Stay Breast enlargement----------------------- $2,400 usd --------------------------------- 2 days Scrotal Skin Graft Vaginoplasty -------- $5,500 usd ----------------------------------- 4 days Sigmoid colon cut Vaginoplasty -------- $5,000 usd ----------------------------------- 5 days Orchidectomy-------- $2,000 usd ----------------------------------- outpatient Also offer a range of affordable FFS options including: Chin reshaping, brow reduction, tracheal shave, rhinoplasty, etc. most of these can usually be thrown together into a 'package' deal. It should be noted that the prices listed are 'all inclusive', and provide food, medicine, etc during your stay, including the cost of surgery. Why I say no-frills: This isn't one of those pampering plastic surgery centers(well, to some degree). This is basically just straight up surgery: to the point. The time-stay in the hospital reflects this. However, don't assume that just becausse it says 4 days in the hospital means 4 days and you're done. it's STRONGLY reccomended by practically everyone to hang out in a hotel for 2-3 days afterwards for post/op followup with the surgeron to make sure everything is cool before jumping on a plane back home. If there are any complications, it'd be better to get your shit taken care of there, since their responsibility for you ends when you leave. You can look online and find like, Budget suites near the hospital for like $20 a night. it's not bad. MID-RANGE Priced SRS:(Some of the bells & whistles) Dr. Preecha Tiewtranon, MD (aka: the grand master) PREECHA AESTHETIC INSTITUTE, 7th Floor BNH Hospital 9/1 Convent Road Silom, Bangkok Phone: (662)632-2540 Fax:(662)632-2542, (662)254-2768 Patient can e-mail to: - consult@pai.co.th - preecha@pai.co.th</i> SRS at the Preecha Aesthetic Institute(PAI) For those that don't know, Dr. Preecha is basically the Surgeon in thailand who trained everyone else. He has the longest running practice, ober 3,000 surgeries under his belt, operating since I think 1978 or something along those lines. He's basically the big daddy of SRS in thailand. He's more than Pichet(who was a student of his), but offers alot more in terms of services, and aesthetically speaking, his work is very nice. Also, if you're considering FFS, I'd put him on level with the USA's infamous "Dr. O", as far as end result, and for waaaaaay less, cost wise. SRS Summary:----------------------------------Cost----------------------------------Hospital Stay Penile Skin Inversion / Vaginal Plasty --- $8,140 ---------------------------------- 5 Days Sigmoid Colon/ Rectosigmoid ------------- $10,350 ---------------------------------- 14 Days Orchiectomy----------------------------- They will also: Provide all post-op supplies, arrange your hotel reservations for you upon request, and offer a "Guarantee of satisfaction", which means if there need to be any revisions to the initial surgery, he will foot the bill himself. They will also come and pick you up at the airport. Good deal :) Here's all the SRS info because I'm too lazy to type it all out again, lol HIGH RANGE(but still cheaper than anywhere in north america) SRS: (the whole Shebang) Dr. Sanguan Kunaporn Phuket Plastic Surgery Clinic, 371/81 Yaowaraj road, Muang, Phuket, 83000, Thailand Telephone : +66 76 254 764 Fax : +66 76 254 765 When calling: For consultation 05:30 - 07:30 pm.

PST Email : info@phuket-plasticsurgery.com Website : Surgery with Dr. Sanguan Dr Sanguan opperates his clinic out of Phuket, thailand, which is a famous island resort desintation(although I'm pretty sure phuket got hammered by the tsunami last year, so i don't know of it's current status. although I've heard nothing from Dr. Sanguan's website, and as far as I know, everything is up and running). He was directly trained bt Dr. Preecha(above) and opened his practice in 1991. Dr Sanguan uses a somewhat controversial 2 stage proceedure(you undergo 2 surgeries over the course of 14 days), although it's one that produces stunning results. He's EXTREMELY good at what he does, and is considered one of the best surgerons in thailand, and is comparable to any top surgeron in the US. This is a full range pampering setup, including private suite looking out onto a pond and rolling green hills, TV, VCR/DVD, internet service, and even get fast food like McDonalds(???) delivered to your room(which is a crazy idea, hehe). Surgery fees, etc: SRS Summary:---------------------------------- Cost ---------------------------------- Hospital Stay 2 stage SRS** ------------------------------ $9,000 usd ------------------------------ 14 days ADDITIONAL DEPTH ! ------------------------------ $1,200 usd ------------------------------ xxxx Cosmetic labiaplasty/Urethroplasty ----- $1,500 usd ------------------------------ N/A(don't know) Augmentation Mamioplasty -------------- $2,800 usd ------------------------------ N/A(don't know)*** **SRS with penile skin flap and scrotum skin graft vaginoplasty, sensate clitoroplasty and labiaplasty(using prepuce skin flap & penile Glans tissue costs 9,000usd.

Prosthesis also could be placed under or over chest muscle. This operation could be done in the same setting with SRS. And finally: High-High end SRS: (still affordable, but not really cheap either): (prom level treatment, although less hospital time than Dr. Sanguan) Dr Suporn Watanyusakul, MD The Dr. Suporn Clinic 938 Sukhumvit Road Bangplasoi, Muang District Chonburi, 20000 Thailand Phone: Thailand's time zone is GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) +7hours, and does not use Daylight Saving. This puts the Clinic 6-7 hours ahead of Europe, 12-17 hours ahead of the USA, and 5 hours behind New Zealand. Due to the number of enquiries we receive, and the difficulty in maintaining a service that corresponds with the time zones of our world-wide patient clientele, we do not generally take messages by telephone. Post-operative patients, however, are given contact telephone numbers on departure to use for any follow-up care they may require. Fax: +66 38 780569 (replace the "+" with the international dialing code appropriate to your country General Inquiries and Patient pre-op admin: admin@supornclinic.com SRS at the Suporn Clinic with Dr Suporn Watanyusaku There's that whole "when the Student surpasses the teacher" saying. Dr. Suporn, like every other surgeon in thailand, trained under Dr. Preecha, and oppened his practice in 1991(just like Dr. Kunaporn). However, Dr. Suporn is more than just a surgeron, he's an innovator, coming up with an exceptionally successful and "revolutionary" technique which uses a single stage SRS, making sull use ofeurethral Mucosal tissue, scrotal skin, penile skin, etc etc to produce an extremely aestheticly pleasing and functional neo-vagina. Dr. Suporn is wildely recognized to be maybe one of the best SRS surgeons in his field, if not the best in the world. with over 15 years expierience under his belt, he's already performed more than 1100 surgeries. His primary clientelle are transpeople, and he caters specifically to their needs. He's also an extrmely accomplished facial surgeon, utilizing new and innovative techniques. SRS Summary: ---------------------------------- Cost ---------------------------------- Hospital Stay SRS ---------------------------------------- AM (breast enlargement) -------------------- $4,500 usd -------------------------------- 4 days + a slew of facial surgery options(i've seen his work in the proverbial flesh, and it's fucking amazing!) Dr. Suporn's staff will assist in practically every aspect of your stay while in thaland, including taking you out sightseeing, taking you out for dinner, and helping you find afforable accomidations(there is a convieniently located buisness class hotel within walking distance of the clinic). The Clinic itself is owned and operated by Dr. Suporn, and as such, it's totally stunning. Dr. Suporn's Surgical technique: - Complete anatomic homology between the reconstructed neovagina and the natal female genitalia - The glans penis for the clitoris and Dr. Suporn's 'secondary sexual sensated organ' and prepuce skin or penile skin for the labia minora. Sexual sensation (orgasmic capacity) is attained in these zones - The frenulum which extends below the clitoris and which is continued to both sides of the labia minora (as in genetic women) - The labia minora which are anterior enough to cover the clitoris, urethra, and vaginal cavity (as in genetic women) - Labia minora which can be stretched manually (as in genetic women) - Pink or red color of the inner surface of labia minora (as in genetic women) - No hair in the labia minora (as in genetic women) which have no suture lines (incision scars). The clitoris, clitoral hood, frenulum, labia minora and majora are all placed on different (3-dimensional) depth planes (as in genetic women) - Little or no hair in the vaginal opening (which can be treated after SRS). Genital electrolysis is not recommended prior to SRS - No hair in the vaginal cavity (wall) to full depth - Maximum vaginal depth attained with the scrotal skin graft beyond the original position of the peritoneal reflection (Douglas Pouch). A minimum of 6.0" (15.25 cm) vaginal depth is guaranteed immediately after surgery in all cases of SRS. The modal average is 7.0" (17.8 cm) depth. The best aesthetics and maximum depth are obtained if the patient has: - not been circumcised; - not had bilateral orchiectomy; - not had genital electrolysis other than the perineum - not been taking antiandrogens/hormones for more than a few years - no medical conditions; and is - not overweight. - In such cases, the maximum attained has been 8.5" (22.6 cm) depth after long-term recovery in 2003-5</div></div> |
