bottom and Larynx pre surgery questions

[Lexi C]

So Tuesday I go for my office con with my  bottom dermatologist Ohara Aivaz at Cedaers concerning the hair remove pre to my bottom surg. I was told it will be done with laser. But my electrolysis tells me that Elec is the only real opp. since I am in my late 50 with gray hair. She said that laser will not remove the hair and it will grow back, leaving me with a sticky bottom. Is she right? Cause Elect is very painful and the numbing cream well only do so much.

         Back Story. I have my own cleaning bus, its all manual labor for about 4 to 9 hrs a day. and I not sure if I will be able to perform with all that pain, which according to my Elect could take from 3 to 7 month to fully remove all the hair from down there.

Has any one had this done pre bottom.

Also have my Larynx surg is in three weeks. Have my last con in 2weeks with doctor Cooper. We decide to do the non evasive laser shorten of my larynx. I Was wondering if anyone here has going through it and how long is the healing process. I need to work as much as I can to save money before my bottom surg, cuz that's going to be at least 2month with out a job.So i really can cancel any cleaning right now. I will ask the Doc this question, but i was wondering if anyone here has going through this and what their exp was. Ty

Hi Alex

Yes electrolysis is the only permanent way to get rid of it and you are right the numbing cream does not cut it.  I came across somewhere that you can get a local anaesthetic injection don't know if that would be better or worse.

I found this video clip on voice you want to go about 10 minutes into the video to get to what is more important hope it helps it is from UCLA.

This is what Jackie Rabbit said to me when I commented on her video.

 

They actually do put a stitch in your vocal cords to hold them together effectively shortening the length of the existing chords overall. If I remember correctly they de-flesh the inside area between the cords below the stitch so that they will fuse together and the stitch or suture holds the vocal cords together long enough for everything to heal over... some surgeons do it differently and there are other procedures but mine is the most common, my surgeon said she follows the procedure that Dr. Kim in Korea uses to good effect. It does take quite some time for your voice to settle down, mine is still settling down after many months, and it’s never really perfect it just is what it is, it roughs up your voice a little but it does the job of feminization and that is the ultimate goal. Nobody ever calls me sir on the phone or in public, everyone who meets me and talks to me considers my voice absolutely female at all times even though I myself still hear a bit of the old voice in there from time to time.

 

The the following link is from the video she made on it.
