I'll probably have to reach out to the FB group, considering this is such a small sub in terms of Canadians vs individuals in the US.

I'm wondering if anyone has heard of someone with a completed phalloplasty going for a revision with a new team.

I was hesitant to go with anyone other than my team, but I'm not feeling great about functionality, and there is a team that has different techniques that may be of benefit to me.

It's obviously a big change, and I want to see if things improve over time in terms of figuring out things that may not even be related to surgery that I'm overthinking. I just would like to know if I have an option if I'm still dealing with difficulties. I also just need to get out of my head lately.

Thanks in advance.

I don't want to get into it, due to privacy reasons, but I'm super frustrated and growing dysphoric about only having one cylinder in my current implant.

I'm limited in my ability to do certain things, and I prefer the size of an additional cylinder. I feel the tip is not firm enough compared to the rest of the cylinder.

I'm 6 years post-stage one, about 3.5 years post-stage 3. I'm debating asking my local urology team if they would consider a revision.

A lot of it may be in my head. I've had a lot of dysphoria lately, and it's been making me struggle to act on things. I always wanted 2 cylinders, but I'm aware it's uncommon for my team unless doing ALT.

I sometimes get dysphoric to the point I regret choosing RFF, but at the time of my surgery, I was prioritizing the least amount of complications.

I feel like I'm probably just crashing out, but it's hard to get out of my head about whether I made the wrong decision looking back.

So I've read lots of people saying weight loss does not affect your girth very much, however I've noticed for myself it unfortunately does.

I've lost some weight (I honestly needed to tbh) but I've been losing more than intended lately (stress/some slight depression). I've been wanting to put on muscle, but don't want to increase my body fat percentage a huge amount. However, I'm afraid that if I had a leaner, more muscular physique, I would experience more loss of girth than I already am.

I'm already in a mindspace where I'm regretting not having gotten a different graft site, but it's been almost 7 years now, so I just need to control what I can, so if anyone has any tips for maintaining a decent amount of body fat while building muscle, I'd appreciate it.

I'd love to have the fight club look, but not willing to feel worse bout myself in the lower region than I already do these days. So I'm going to have to settle for something in between, I suppose.

I am 33, in Canada, and technically only have a high school diploma. I've gone to college, but never stuck with programs, as I often did what others recommended. I also had a lot going on in my personal life that made it difficult to focus on school.

The program I got the furthest in was graphic design. My dad passed away during that program. I left to take care of him during his cancer diagnosis. Some other shit went down, etc.

If I could do anything in the world, it would be music or audio engineering, with tattooing a close second. I know these are both very iffy options, though.

I work in crisis work currently. It's the lowest stage in the career path. I aimed to move up, but I haven't progressed beyond interviews. I'm starting to rethink my current job and plan to just use it as a means to an end, either to study while working or do some type of apprenticeship.

I originally planned on social work and have been accepted. I can start this month or next, but I'm not sure now if that is the correct choice. I've debated nursing (used to be a porter and morgue attendant). Lastly, armed forces or a trade of some sort.

I know realistically I'd be happiest in a creative field; however, I'm trying to build a stable life for myself (I'd also like to support my partner). When looking into trades, I realized that they take just as long as a bachelors, so I'm just kind of up in the air atm.

Realistically, the thing I'd have the best chance at doing that I'd enjoy is tattooing. I have connections in the community, and I work a schedule that could allow for an apprenticeship or the "dreaded tattoo school". I just need some kind of game plan, and I feel I need a game plan if option A does not work out.

My apologies if this is rambly. I'm pretty anxious lately, frustrated with my current situation, etc. Any advice is welcome.
