ftm sex change question about surgery, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Surgery at times: Your and doc's choice. Less are having panhysterectomies.

Question 4

is sex change surgery reversible?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: I have worked with the trans community for over 15 years. It is extremely rare to see anyone have sexual reassignment surgery (srs) and change genders "back" again. I have seen it, though. Because srs, facial feminization surgery for MTF individuals, or "top" surgery for FTM folks are all such expensive and involved surgeries, we make every effort to make sure that patients are 100% certain.

Question 6

can i have a sex change surgery to reverse it?

Accepted Answer

Possible but diffic.: This will depend on the techniques used and in some cases itwill be nearly impossible to recinstruct a penis once it has been removed. The reconstruction will likely be a facsimile with a skin tube essentially substituting for erectile tissue. Once a vagina is obliterated, it will be  very difficult to maintain the cavity that was once there. In short consider it nearly irreversible.
