What's It Like To Get Bottom Surgery? (1 Year Post-Op)

[@mr.cauliflower3536]

>Gets 2 bottom surgeries >claims not to be a bottom Ok.

[@springerengineering6697]

That's a very common misconception. Bottom surgery is to CURE being a bottom. You're mistaking it with top surgery. Very common misconception, ambiguously named

[@TheBarelyBearableAtheist]

I can't imagine how terrifying it would be for a young trans person to even contemplate asking these questions, and here you are publicly volunteering the answers. You are an international treasure.

I'm a 55 yo straight cis man and this somehow ended up in my feed. But I'm glad it did. This was a great video. I not only learned a lot but also got to see someone really happy for a change. Thanks for making my day!

So happy for you! I hope you have/get the amazing life you deserve :〕

[@YurameshiVT]

As you should be! Get ready and brace yourself, because it's a mega adjustment. I advise you to start buying wider waste size pants lmao. A lot of your body fat will change and redistribute, your hair will thin and appear lighter, pheromones will change along with sense of smell, your emotional sensibilities and depth will be insanely heightened among other things, but I'll leave the rest for you to discover on your own. Congratulations on taking the step to truly begin living your life. I'm so proud of you.

[@brightenblack207]

@@YurameshiVT I've already been losing a lot of weight so I'm unsure how necessary it will be. If anything maybe it'd counteract the weight loss? I need to buy a lot of clothes anyway. Currently wear a lot of long skirts

[@Nikkidafox]

I'll even skip out on the jokes about "bottom" surgery to say... thanks for making this. We NEEDED someone who was candid and clear with the long-term effects of bottom surgery without any transphobia and without any medical coldness.

[@TheVoiceinTheDarkness]

Huge congrats on the first year of (post) bottom surgery Alice!! Came here from the rest of your videos, I think one of your meme videos and really enjoy your content!

[@valentineomalley7290]

I can't believe it's been a year already. I found your channel just before you announced that it was happening, searching for trans creators I could possibly relate to. Now I'm deep into the sheer chaos of the Queer Army, and I couldn't be happier for that. This community, your channel, and the videos are brilliant, and it's all been an incredible and important part of my life, and I wanna thank you Rest well, and rise like the badass you are, when you're ready🥹🎉

[@shmoo42]

As a trans girl only on 4 months HRT I am horrified at the healing process of SRS. Recognizing my own bottom dysphoria, it's truly sad how much time money and pain it will cost, and the end result isn't guaranteed to be as functional as pre-op. My insurance covers it after 12 months HRT, and that makes me feel like I'm at the bottom of mount everest staring upwards.

[@DDILKIES]

You don't have to do any of that until you're comfortable. If it's something you need, then make sure you can get everything planned out in advance. It might be best to focus on things you are comfortable with doing at this current stage of your transition. All of it is daunting, but if you take things a few small steps at a time, you'll be at the top of Everest before you realize!

[@bunnyniyori6324]

Feels like a long climb until it isn't dear. The healing isn't process is nothing compared to the wait. Mine was only 3 years, but those 3 seemed soo long. Now they seem like nothing.

[@NourSelim0]

ooh we started HRT around the same time, 6 July for me 😁 and yeah bottom surgery is scary, but I plan to do an orchiectomy first, simple operation, no hospital stay, quick to heal, and I get to stop taking blockers.

[@justagirl12345]

please just pray and stay off he internet for a while get stuck in a hobby and get to know yourself.

[@sighhusky]

As a trans woman interested in eventually getting bottom surgery myself these videos have been very helpful. Thank you for sharing all of this information! Best of luck with your revision and I hope you have a speedy recovery! ❤

[@lostlittlenoobvt]

This video series has been such a huge help. I've been looking into getting it myself once im able and once i can get my insurance to cover it

[@TheVoiceinTheDarkness]

@@lostlittlenoobvt I'm simular. I mainy watch Alice's other content but I'm creating a playlist for my transfem partner so I can send it onto her if/when she decides to get bottom surgery.

[@MauiDown]

As always, your personality and humor make even the serious "educational" videos extremely wonderful! I always hope that these ones get to the people who really need to see them the most. You are one strong women Alice! o7

[@tubaterry]

Your series has done a huge part to help me solidify that this is gonna be the right choice for me. I have my first consultation this week. Thank you so much for sharing ❤ Also you made me cry with how happy you are about the progress

[@Stardust_42]

I just got surgery a couple months ago and I still intend to make a video about my experiences but I’m glad you’re doing this little series. I think it’s really important for us to share our stories and struggles, because information on trans topics, (especially surgery,) is still pretty limited and buried under a lot of misinformation So thanks :) 💖

[@theromulanwarhawk]

Why would I make fun of you? You've got nerves of chrome steel to talk about this as openly as you are. I think you're inspirational.

[@miaribarker]

Thank you for using your platform to both entertain and inform. You have helped me so much in my transition. I hope that your surgery goes perfectly and that your recovery is speedy. Much love!

[@Battletech_Emily]

Thank you SO much for being so open about it. Around the time you posted your first video about this, I was SO terrified about bottom surgery. But now... I'm waiting for that call to know when my surgery date will be. I know I'm not the only one you've had a positive impact on. I hope it's a much easier recovery this time around.

[@Mr.MossyTeacup]

Good luck on your surgery!

[@unofficial_ai]

For what it's worth. This series of videos have been extremely informative for me. I went from not even thinking about bottom surgery to realizing that it would help a lot of my dysphoria. It's a terrifying idea to actually go ahead with it, but you have absolutely inspired me to want to do it, some day.

[@morgandellamore5024]

Good luck with your revisions, Alice! Your series has really helped prepare me for my surgery in Dec. Sending love and best wishes for a speedy recovery! Stay safe out there!

[@CrabCrow]

I'm really happy to see this update and to know where you're at (Congratulations!!). I've got mine scheduled for just under two month from now and the reality of what'll be involved is starting creep up on me. Your series has been super helpful!

[@JennFaeAge]

I appreciate that you're willing to be this open. It'd be easier to only share the good or the bad of it

I've been really depressed lately about getting surgery myself, the process of getting a consultation is just so difficult and complex that it sometimes feels like it won't ever happen... Your infectious positivity helped a little, thank you...

[@wonklesnok457]

Thanks for posting this Alice! I am currently looking into all of what I want do do in terms of transitioning and am considering bottom surgery. Honestly, I think It would just ultimately make me happier. Hearing how it can go and what to expect helps. I want to make a decision I'm happy with and this makes me a little more educated, so thanks for sharing how its been going.

[@LilyTheCuteKitty432]

This is actually really helpful, thankyou so much I'm definitely gonna have to think this through before I go getting surgery Shit's scary Wishing you luck for your revision surgery!!

[@SophiesNotHere]

Thank you for sharing all this with us Alice. I only started HRT this summer and I have been both terrified and excited about going through bottom surgery. Being able to have an idea of what's in store and to plan for it helps me so much. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!

[@HeavensOfMetal]

So I’m pre-op & pre-HRT (start in Nov), but finding out it takes 45 minutes to climax after GCS sounds like a major improvement to me. The amount of time that goes into forgetting that I have to touch the Rod of Despair & tune that out & get in the right headspace is a lot…

[@Vivi_Sterling]

Shy and bashful Alice is sooo cute!!!🥰 And yeah, a LOT of thanks for going so far into something so personal for us, we really appreciate your openness and honesty about the whole process! 🤗

[@DDILKIES]

Congratulats on one year, and on the revision! I hope things turn out the way you want!

[@Aquatendo]

Hope your revision goes well! I’m at nearly 8 months, and am looking at a cosmetic revision at around a year as well. I pretty much expected it based on all my research, despite my surgeon trying to say otherwise and talk himself up. The only snag is that now I’ve been told that insurances have been denying revisions, which has me a bit anxious. Revision or not, this surgery has been totally worth it - not only is my bottom dysphoria gone, but other dysphorias have lessened or gone too because my confidence has shot up.

[@mace1234]

good luck with the revision!! hope everything goes smoothly :3

Its incredible and your entire community is so proud of you for being so open and brave :)

[@DawntheRealmJumper-zm2yx]

Hello Alice I love the bottom surgery videos they have been with my nerves because I found out on 12/9/2024 that in the spring I will be setting up a date for mine. Keep up the good work

[@spundley]

18 months post-op here. I was really lucky in that recovery was a breeze for me (other than the nerves reconnecting - like little electric shocks; super painful, but only for milliseconds at a time 😱). Super happy with the results, both aesthetically and functionaly. Cost a chunk of cash though, as I went private - looking at you, GIC waiting list 😡 (over 5 yrs and not even a 1st appt yet). My top tips are to get a toilet seat for the journey home (and for a few weeks after) - it's way more comfortable than a doughnut pillow. Also, size up your dilator as soon as you feel up to it (I went to green at about 3 months, and orange at about 6 months, but ymmv)

[@AlexQuinn-f2r]

As someone who somehow tore the gas mask off before the anesthetist could put me under for a general anaesthetic during my childhood in an emergency surgery- any medical procedure and information regarding it is something I do everything I can to take seriously Admittedly I am somewhat unhinged by effectively using Outlast, Half-Life and SOMA as an introductory education for the healthcare industrial complex but it has disturbingly worked well so far I seriously appreciate these videos with the other quality insanity you create- thanks from limbo/Australia

[@slayerkeith8304]

Don't worry Alex. The healthcare industrial complex shown in games like Soma, Half-Life and Outlast only applies to the US. The rest of the civilized world seems to have cracked it 😉

[@AlexQuinn-f2r]

Wait did this occur during late 2023 or this year? My experience with my local healthcare system (Australian Medicare system and the private practices) only improved to them recognising something was seriously wrong after I threatened to and eventually whistleblew several social "youth" services and clinical practices and from what I could see- the staff were basically just forced to stop repeatedly overusing mental health history to explain chronic health issues at risk of PR damage Personally I don't regret the implications- I clearly was far from the first person to figure out what was going on and the last person anyone should want to antagonise is someone who just doesn't ever give up and hasn't got much to lose

[@qtpaulie]

this series has been so amazingly helpful. thank you. this gives me hope and honestly has made me reconsider bottom surgery >< stay safe pretty and amazing person on the internet

[@phoebenomena]

It may sound silly, but I had been putting off thinking about that while trying to focus on other parts of my transition. I could not have thought of a better video for ripping that band aid off. Thank You for putting yourself out there. 💗

[@randyb3265]

You are so confident and pretty! I wish I was pretty enough to follow in your footsteps. I have lived victoriously through your videos for so long. Thank you for allowing me to do so

[@tealkerberus748]

Speaking as a cis woman, those times sound pretty normal to me. Getting bored trying to get there and then completely distracted thinking about your garden or the bill you need to pay tomorrow is also part of the cis woman experience, so let us know if you get those too? How much of your experience tracks with cis womanhood, and how much is substantially different, is inevitably fascinating. My personal sample size of cis women is a lot smaller than my sample size of cis men, so I don't know how much of "cis women take a lot longer to get there than cis men" is reality and how much is the statistical consequence of some cis men being jerks, but it feels authentic. Female bodies just aren't built to hurry the same way - sometimes we'll get there fast, but usually not, and some days we won't get there at all.
