I\u2019m very happy with my decision. So much so that I\u2019m planning to go through another round again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Bigger breasts are quite gratifying in terms of <strong>confidence and validation as a trans woman<\/strong>. There\u2019s just simply no amount of estrogen that could deliver the same results that a breast surgery would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MTF Transgender Bottom Surgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In other words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>s*x reassignment surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>gender reassignment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or gender confirmation surgery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most controversial and popular topic that encompasses the world of transgender surgical procedures. I have a lot of transwomen friends who\u2019ve undergone both <strong>vaginoplasty<\/strong> (surgery to turn the male genitalia into a vagina) and <strong>orchiectomy<\/strong> (removal of the testes to get rid of testosterone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interviews First<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Before being granted surgery as such, a round of interviews with a psychologist is a must. Remember, it\u2019s not just plastic surgery. It involves mental wellness. However, I think that some of the hospital\u2019s in-house psychologists are quite bogus lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The reason being is that I was in the interview room of my trans mom before she had her SRS done. She had her <strong>transgender vagina surgery<\/strong> (colloquial term) done in Bangkok and I was by her side pre and post her gender confirmation surgery to assist her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The interview went for literally less than 10 minutes and the questions were <strong>a bit mundane at best<\/strong>. For me, the only question that made sense out of all the queries that the \u201cpsychologist\u201d had was if my trans mom had the money ready lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much did her male to female gender reassignment surgery cost?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This was back in 2009 and she paid more or less <strong>$10,000<\/strong>. I\u2019m not going to name the hospital or the doctor anymore because I don\u2019t want to be sued for slander by their \u201cpsychologist\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The typical cost of a vaginoplasty can range <strong>from $2,000 up to $30,000<\/strong> in the western hemisphere. Luckily, in Canada and other countries in the western hemisphere, the health system pays for it. There are 3 popular methods in performing MTF gender reassignment surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Penile Inversion<\/strong> \u2013 makes use of the penile skin to form a <strong>neovagina<\/strong>. It is also known to retain sensitivity but it cannot provide self-lubrication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rectosigmoid Vaginoplasty<\/strong> \u2013 this is a more invasive and expensive approach as it deals with the intestinal tissue to help with self-lubrication. It\u2019s also performed for ciswomen who have short vaginal canals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-penile Inversion<\/strong> \u2013 this is famously known as the \u201cSuporn\u201d technique which was invented by Dr. Suporn (one of the most respected plastic surgeons in Thailand). It\u2019s also cheekily called the \u201cChonburi Flap\u201d. It is said to provide better vaginal depth, more sensate inner labia, and improved appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does post-op MTF surgery look like?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I\u2019m a heterosexual trans woman so I have not been up close and personal with a cisgender woman&#8217;s vagina. However, from what my trans mom has shown me and her comparison with it to an adult video, it looks quite identical. The only thing that looked quite off were the scars on <strong>her neovagina\u2019s<\/strong> outer labia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you must know about Transgender Surgery: Female to Male<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This is quite exciting because I personally have <strong>trans men<\/strong> crushes.

It\u2019s also reconstructed to have a more masculine look which involves adjusting the nipple and areola size and flattening the skin. However, it is highly recommended for the trans man to maintain his <strong>estrogen blockers<\/strong> so that the breasts do not grow back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It requires more maintenance so you have to think things through before going through such an undertaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does an FTM Breast Removal Surgery cost?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The typical cost of this kind of procedure ranges <strong>from $3,000 to $10,000<\/strong> depending on which country it will be performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does an FTM Breast Removal Surgery look like?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Google &#8220;<strong>Laith Ashley<\/strong>&#8221; and you\u2019ll see *wink*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FTM Transgender Bottom Surgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This topic is quite complicated and I have no first-hand knowledge of it.

However, I\u2019ve seen several handsome trans men in the flesh, and may I just say, wow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There are 2 types of <strong>FTM bottom surgery<\/strong> procedures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first one is the <strong>Metoidioplasty <\/strong>which is quicker and entails the already elongated clitoris (from hormonal therapy) to be repositioned in a place to match how male genitalia looks like.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the other side is the <strong>Phalloplasty<\/strong> which can provide 5-8 inches of length for the constructed phallus with the help of skin grafting from tissue donor areas such as the cheek of the vagina, abdomen, forearm, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much does FTM surgery cost?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It was quite expensive.

The decision for doing it must be driven by a well-researched and confident disposition. Don\u2019t let other people pressure you into something that you\u2019re unsure of.
