Is Zero Depth Vaginoplasty Worth Considering?
Dr. Z talks about zero depth vaginoplasty (also called vulvoplasty, no depth vaginoplasty, shallow depth vaginoplasty)—a vaginoplasty where you don't get an internal canal. Outwardly everything looks identical to depth-oriented vaginoplasty, except there's no canal for penetrative intercourse via body parts or sexual toys like dildos or vibrators.
This procedure is becoming quite popular—primarily because it has lesser risks, people don't have to deal with dilation post-surgery or throughout their life. It's very popular for trans women who are older and not interested in penetrative intercourse, or individuals who had severe sexual trauma and aren't interested in penetration of any kind.
Dr. Z has a sexuality background and understands how important sexuality is. She tends to tell individuals going through surgical procedures to make sure the procedure preserves as much sexual function as possible—whether you decide to use it or not is another matter, but having that option is very important. She's seen people who got this procedure and regret it because their sexuality changed or they became interested in penetrative intercourse later.
Watch to find out Dr. Z's professional opinion on who zero depth vaginoplasty works for versus who should preserve sexual function, why sexuality is fluid and tends to change (especially for people going through transition—different feelings wake up post-transition), why you don't want to find yourself desiring penetrative intercourse only to realize you can't because five years ago you decided zero depth, and what factors to consider in your decision-making process.
