What is Male-to-Female Sex Reassignment Surgery?
Male-to-female sex reassignment surgery, also known as gender confirmation surgery, vaginoplasty, or bottom surgery, is a complex surgical procedure that creates female genitalia for transgender women. This transformative surgery involves removing the penis and testicles, and constructing a functional vagina, clitoris, and labia using existing genital tissue. The goal is to create natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing, and functional female anatomy that allows for sexual sensation and intimacy, helping patients achieve physical alignment with their gender identity.
The Procedure
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 4-6 hours. The most common technique is penile inversion vaginoplasty, where the surgeon removes the testicles, inverts the penile skin to create the vaginal canal, and repositions the glans to form a sensate clitoris. The scrotal skin is used to create the labia majora and minora. Urethral shortening and repositioning is performed to create female urinary anatomy. The depth and width of the vagina are carefully constructed, and all structures are precisely positioned for natural appearance and function.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates are transgender women who have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, have lived in their identified gender role for at least 12 months, received hormone therapy for at least 12 months (unless contraindicated), obtained required mental health evaluations and letters of support, are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are fully informed about the procedure. Candidates must be 18+ years old, psychologically stable, and committed to lifelong follow-up care and vaginal dilation protocols.
