Genital Surgery / Sex Reassignment Surgery
Genital surgery is often known as gender reassignment surgery or sex change surgery. This is the surgical technique used to transform a person's physical appearance as well as the function of their current sexual characteristics from one gender to another.
Male-To-Female Sex Reassignment Surgery Process
• This process involves reshaping the male genitals into a form that appears and functions as female genitalia.
• A patient must first undergo hormone replacement therapy and hair removal before undergoing this surgery.
• This surgery also includes operations such as facial feminization and breast augmentation.
• The testicles are removed, followed by the skin of the penis and foreskin being inverted to make a vagina.
• A clitoris can be created from a portion of the glans. Skin grafts from the thighs, hips, or a portion of the colon can be used to build a vaginal lining in rare situations of skin scarcity.
• Following surgery, the female hormone estrogen reshapes the body's features and encourages the formation of adequate labia majora.
Female to Male Sex Reassignment Surgery Process
