Stage 1 was 12/5/25 and included meta release and scrotoplasty, no UL and no v\*nectomy 

Stage 2 was 5/1/26 and included testicular implants and mons resection, as well as some scar revision under my scrotum at the entrance to my bonus hole. 

Both were performed by Dr. Gallegos at the Boulder, CO Crane Center. I highly recommend this team. 

I also did this stage without opioids, which I am happy to talk about with anyone considering a similar treatment plan. 

I didn't take very good notes this time around. I've been somewhere between "trust the process" and just full-on dissociating. It is hard to see my body like this. It is hard to know that this could be the end of the journey if I'm happy with how things turn out. It is hard to know that I am in charge of making that decision. Aesthetics were/are my top priority-- does that, or the possibility of wanting a revision, make me shallow? What if dysphoria/dysmorphia never let me see my body accurately? You know, just trans things 💅

I kind of told myself I wasn't allowed to have an opinion of how things turned out until at least a few weeks post-op. I think this is both helpful for not obsessing/spiraling, but also contributing to some avoidance. I'm starting to see changes and I think I like where I'm headed, but yeah. It's just hard. IYKYK. 

Anyway here's some pictures. Photos 1-3 are today, 9 days post-op. Photo 4 is 4 days post op. Photo 5 is 2 days post-op. 

Disclaimer about photos 4 and 5: my dick is not actually that big! my foreskin swelled up like a bitch for the first week. That is all blanket and very little pig. The first 3 pics are a lot closer to what I'm typically rocking '.
