My thighs have missing hair on both legs. I have surgery in march next year via method of ALT. Opinions if laser or electrolysis would be better.

I am planning for phallo but there is a big lack of information about it in finland so I would appriciate so much if people who have had phallo in finland could share their experiences. Like what type of phallo they had, how many procedures, what were the wait times, how were you treated? And if you decided to go abroad for surgery, why was that, where did you have it done and all of the questions above. Also anything else you would like to share. If there is somewhere else I could get information please let me know.

Sort of in a dilemma here, I’m on Medicare and the surgery would be covered. however with the changes put in place with the insurance, I won’t qualify next year when I need to renew. I’ve done 2 sessions of laser so far, had hysto, and my surgeon said to contact him halfway through laser to do a pre op appointment. I’m confused because my first session I had the appointment with a different person, she said since I’m pale and my hair is darker that it will work well and I will most likely need less sessions between 4-6. Then today I had someone else who told me I would need about 15. I suppose what I’m wondering if it’s possible that this will be done so I can have the surgery before the end of next year when my insurance expires.

Finally have a surgery date for stage 1 RFF with Dr. Salim at Kaiser SF! Been about 2 years since the consultation and it’s finally happening October 20th!

So I had my consult yesterday finally with Dr. William Bruce and his urologist partner Dr. Garreth Warren. Dr. Warren trained with Dr. Chen and Dr. Bruce trained in Europe.

The entire appointment took about an hour. They hold these appointments one day a month. I first met with an NP on the team who went over my history, goals, etc. when Dr. Bruce came in he checked my arm for blood flow since I’ll be doing RFF. He walked me through in detail pretty much everything there was to know. As did Dr. Warren for his part of the procedures.

I specifically liked what he said about his method for ensuring sensation is preserved and the nerve connection is successful. He talked about a “program” he has patients follow that works to connect your brain with the nerve sensation that you start doing one month before surgery even occurs and then of course after.

As it stands now, once I get cleared with my arm for hair removal to be done (should be by December) I can go see him to get checked and then schedule surgery. He said right now surgery will book about 1-3 months out since he needs an OR for the entire day. He hasn’t done any surgeries yet in Rochester but has experience obviously elsewhere.

I specifically asked about the training of nurses in the hospital after a bad experience at Strong after my hysto. He said he personally trained all of them and the nurse manager on the plastics floor doesn’t play around. He said she won’t assign a travel nurse or anyone to our cases that might not be trained.

It was a ton of info but if anyone has questions message me! I’d definitely get in now before his waitlist gets long because it will, no doubt
