Question 1

how do they create a vaginal hole in a male to female transgender surgery?

Accepted Answer

Procedure: The process of male to female sex reassignment surgery is more involved than simply creating a "vaginal hole."  there are several plastic surgery centers in the us which do the procedure, and it is growing in other countries as well.  You can google for info.  http://www.surgeryencyclopedia.com/pa-st/sex-reassignment-surgery.html.

Question 2

if a transgender (female to male) had surgery to remove the breasts and lymph nodes, would this reduce the risk of breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

You would think so: But actually not proven.  Also, i doubt that the lymph nodes were removed.

Question 3

i am a 3rd year hrt transsexual. i have not had bottom surgery yet.

there is a small, semi-opaque, bead-like bump on my pseudo glans.

Accepted Answer

Blister: This may need to be examined. I would want to know recent sexual activity or any trama. Also if you have pain or a history of herpes.

Question 4

would someone who had surgery to transition half of their body be considered transgender?

Accepted Answer

Certainly, if...: If a person modifies their body surgically to better match their gender identity, they are likely transgender. People who are born female, for example, might have a specific kind of breast reduction ("top surgery") to remove their breasts and appear more masculine. They may not elect to surgically modify their genitals, for various reasons - including cost. LGromkoMD

Question 5

i am transgender ftm and i want to have top surgery. is it possible to get this done with my medical aid paying for it? who can i contact to help me?

Accepted Answer

Contact: your health plan administrator or customer service, or go to the website/portal, and see if your plan covers the procedure.

Question 6

is there a surgeon who can perform ftm transgender bottom surgery near philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: Check up the provider listings in the WPATH.org site (World Professional Association for Transgender Health). On the west coast, look up the websites for Dr. Curtis Crane and Dr. Toby Meltzer. You may also want to contact transgender support organizations and ask your question there. LGromkoMD

Question 7

sir is it possible that transgender man or transgender women who hasn't gone under any kind of surgery be able to release/produce sperm without any medically transition or without any medicine?

Accepted Answer

: If a woman transitions to a man, even with surgery they will never produce sperm. A man who transitions to a woman will still produce sperm until they take enough estrogen and/or have surgery. Hope this answers your question. Good luck!

Question 8

how much does transgender surgery for hormones and breasts usually cost.

Accepted Answer

May be covered...: Check with your insurance plan to see if transgender surgeries are covered. Many employers provide for trans surgeries and hormone treatment through insurance. Otherwise, breast augmentation may run $10,000; genital surgery around $30,000 for vaginoplasty and much more for transmasculine surgeries - depending on the surgery involved. Hormone management may be provided by your MD. LGromkoMD

Question 9

ive been taking female hormones how do i go about getting sex reassignment surgery?

Accepted Answer

Experienced surgeon: I am hoping you have been taking female hormones with the supervision of a medical doctor, preferably an endocrinologist who specializes in gender reassignment hormone therapy. Such a specialist may help guide you to a surgeon that is experienced in gender reassignment surgeries. Also you could search online and make sure the chosen surgeon has a lot of experience and has done many such surgeries

Question 10

how hard is gender change surgery female to male?

Accepted Answer

F to M surgery: After starting testosterone, most FTM individuals experience deepening of the voice, increased hair growth, clitoral enlargement. "top" surgery (breast reduction) is the most common surgery done - and results are excellent. Genital surgery is now possible. A penis can be constructed using grafted skin, the labia can house a testicular implant and a pump for the penile implant to enable erections.
