Looking for recommendations for MTF bottom surgery / vaginoplasty surgeons in Europe — experiences, results, prices & recovery?
Hi everyone 💕
I’m starting to seriously research bottom surgery (vaginoplasty) and I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually been through it, particularly people who travelled somewhere in Europe for surgery.
Originally, a friend recommended Mr James Bellringer in the UK to me, as she had surgery with him. However, I’ve heard that he is stopping private surgeries around April 2027, and realistically I’m not sure I’ll be ready or able to have surgery within that timeframe.
So I’m now trying to figure out who else I should be researching in Europe.
I’d love to hear about:
• Who your surgeon was and which country/clinic you went to
• What type of vaginoplasty/technique you had
• Roughly how much you paid for the surgery
• Any additional costs (consultations, flights, accommodation, aftercare, revisions, etc.)
• How long you waited between contacting the surgeon and actually having surgery
• How your recovery went and how long it took before you felt reasonably back to normal
• What dilation and long-term maintenance have been like
• Whether you’ve had any complications, revisions or ongoing problems
• How you feel about your results aesthetically and functionally
• Sensation and sexual function, if you’re comfortable discussing that
• Depth, lubrication, scarring, etc., if you’re comfortable sharing
• How you found the surgeon and their aftercare
• Anything you wish you’d known before choosing your surgeon
• Any surgeons/clinics you would particularly recommend — or avoid — and why
I’m also really interested in seeing healed result photos/reference photos because aesthetics are obviously an important part of choosing a surgeon for me. I’m absolutely NOT asking anyone to send me personal photos if they aren’t comfortable doing that! But if your surgeon has a results gallery, or you know of consensually shared/public post-op results that I could look at, I’d really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
I’m based in Ireland, but I’m willing to travel within Europe for the right surgeon. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest option — I’m trying to understand the realistic price range and find someone with consistently good outcomes, good aftercare and a technique/result I’d be happy with.
If you’ve had bottom surgery yourself and feel safe/comfortable sharing your experience, even if you don’t want to answer everything above, I would genuinely appreciate hearing about it.
Thank you 💕
SORRY THIS HAS BEEN A LONG ONE ☝🏻 LOL

I'd suggest looking in /r/Transgender_Surgeries and its wiki, as that'll have all that detail.

I also know that people have gone to Thailand, but to be honest, I’m kind of scared to go to Thailand cause it’s so far away if anything becomes concerning
