About FTM Surgeries
Female-to-Male (FTM) Surgeries
Female-to-Male (FTM) surgeries are gender-affirming procedures designed to help individuals align their physical appearance with their gender identity. These surgeries are highly individualized and may involve chest, genital, facial, and body masculinization. Our goal is to provide safe, compassionate, and confidential care throughout your transition journey
.
Chest Masculinization (Top Surgery)
- Double-incision with free nipple grafts
- Keyhole / peri-areolar technique (for eligible candidates)
- Nipple resizing, repositioning & contouring
- Detailed aftercare guidance for healing and scarring
Hysterectomy & Oophorectomy
- Surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries.
- Purpose: Eliminates menstruation and reduces female hormone production.
- May be done laparoscopically for faster recovery.
- Often a prerequisite before genital reconstruction.
Metoidioplasty
- Uses hormonally enlarged clitoris (from testosterone therapy) to create a small phallus.
- Benefits: Can allow urination while standing (with urethral lengthening).
- Preserves erotic sensation.
- Limitations: Smaller phallus length compared to phalloplasty.
- Recovery: 4–6 weeks.
Phalloplasty
- Construction of a full-sized penis using tissue grafts (often from forearm, thigh, or abdomen).
- Can include urethral lengthening, scrotoplasty, and penile implants for sexual function.
- Benefits: Natural appearance, ability to urinate standing.
- Potential for penetrative intercourse with implant.
- Recovery: Multi-staged surgery, with longer healing period (3–6 months overall).
Scrotoplasty
- Creation of a scrotum, often using labial tissue.
- Testicular implants may be inserted later for a natural look.
Facial Masculinization
- Procedures to enhance masculine features: jawline sculpting, chin augmentation, rhinoplasty.
- Body contouring: Liposuction or fat grafting to achieve a muscular/masculine build.
Pre-Surgical Preparation
- Psychological evaluation & counseling (as per WPATH guidelines).
- Hormone therapy (testosterone): Usually continued for at least 12 months before major surgeries.
- Medical assessment: Blood work, imaging, and fitness clearance for anesthesia.
- Informed choice: Discussion of all surgical options, risks, and expected outcomes.
