About

"Bottom" surgery for male-to-female (MtF) transition can refer to vaginoplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, and/or labiaplasty. (Yes, there needs to be more explanation of these...)

Questions to Ask

(Where possible, get answers from web site first; perhaps confirm with surgeon.)

• Do you have a fixed price for the procedure? If not, can you estimate the likely cost?
• How long is your wait-list, at present, for a surgery appointment?
• How soon could I get an appointment for an initial consultation?
• When did you first start doing vaginoplasty?
• Approximately how many vaginoplasties have you performed?
• Have any of your vaginoplasty patients reported unexpected issues?
• Do you prefer to do vaginoplasty in a single operation, or labia and clitoral hood separately?
