Gender reassignment surgery, also known as gender-affirming surgery or sex reassignment surgery, is a medical procedure that helps individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. This transformative journey is essential for many experiencing gender dysphoria—a condition where there’s a disconnect between one’s assigned sex at birth and their true gender identity.
Understanding Gender Reassignment Surgery
Gender reassignment surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures designed to transition an individual’s physical appearance and function to match their identified gender. It’s a vital component of gender-affirming care, which may also include hormone therapy and psychological support.
Types of Gender Reassignment Surgeries
- Male-to-Female (MTF) Procedures:
- Vaginoplasty: Creation of a vagina using penile and scrotal tissue.
- Breast Augmentation: Enhancement of breast size and shape.
- Facial Feminization Surgery: Altering facial features to appear more traditionally feminine.
- Tracheal Shave: Reduction of the Adam’s apple.
- Female-to-Male (FTM) Procedures:
- Mastectomy (Top Surgery): Removal of breast tissue to create a masculine chest.
- Phalloplasty or Metoidioplasty: Construction of a penis using tissue from other parts of the body.
- Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus.
- Scrotoplasty: Creation of a scrotum, often with testicular implants.
These procedures are tailored to each individual’s needs and desired outcomes, ensuring a personalized approach to gender transition.

- Enhanced Quality of Life: Many individuals report increased satisfaction in personal relationships and daily activities.
