Male to Female Alteration
Surgical Procedures
Vaginoplasty
The following methods are used to create a neo-vagina; skin grafting method, vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon cut method, penile flap and penile scrotal flap method. Typically, the Penile or Penile Scrotal Inversion technique (by tucking in penile skin into perineum) and Sigmoid Colon Cut Surgery (by lower abdomen incision using its full-thickness grafts) are widely practiced.
(1) Sigmoid Colon Cut Method
Advantages
a. Natural-looking end result of neo-vagina
b. No neo-vaginal contractures
c. The fluid secreted from intestine will act as a natural lubricant during sexual intercourse.
d. Desirable from the functional aspect of neo-vagina.
Disadvantages
a. Prolonged recovery period due to an extensive surgery through abdominal cavity.
b. May develop complications such as peritonitis, intestinal adhesions and necrosis of intestinal graft.
(2) Penile Inversion Method
Advantages
a. Its simple surgical procedure can greatly reduce possible complications and related side effects.
b. No risk of causing peritonitis or intestinal adhesions associated with colostomy.
c. Rapid recovery-Four to six days of hospitalization.
Disadvantages
a. Requires continuous neo-vaginal dialation.
b. Possible neo-vaginal contractures after surgery.
c. Requires artificial lubricant.
2. Neutralization of Adam’s Apple
Although varied from individuals, Adam’s Apple (uvula) is one of the most prominent features of the male anatomy. Adam’s Apple can be eliminated by making small surgical incisions along the skin fold under local anesthesia-leaving almost no scars. If desired, additional work such as neo-vaginoplasty or breast augmentation can be done at the same time. The surgery will take about 30 minutes to one hour and yields no side effects.
3. Voice Surgery
This surgery will readjust the pitch of the patient’s voice. As part of its physical characteristic, vocal cord can be altered using laser and electricity, but it is hard to predict the final outcome and often requires re-operation. However, through the recent indirect treatment using cartilage plate pull method, the patient’s vocal cord can be safely altered from male bandwidth (100-150Hz) to female bandwidth (200-300Hz).
The surgery is conducted by making small incisions on the neck under local anesthesia and will take one hour. It is necessary to allow ample time to rest the voice, and the final result will show in 6 to 12 months. The surgery is recommended before the SRS.
4. Breast Augmentation Surgery
It is a widely practiced surgery to enhance and heighten the patient’s sense of femininity. Can be conducted in conjunction with other operations such as vaginoplasty.

I am working in the field of Plastic and Cosmetic surgery since 1979.
I am practising in New Delhi since 1987.
I am a Senior Consultant in Plastic Surgery at Holy Family hospital and Mool Chand hospital.
New Delhi. India Sex change surgery- Male to FemaleCase selection – Once the psychiatrist has certified surgery can be undertaken.
Person should be essentially healthy.
Preoperative – The surgery is to be done under General anaesthesia.
The penis is degloved out. Testis is removed. A small piece of Glans and prepucial skin hood is taken out based on the vessels/nerve and is used to create new clitoris.
The urethra is brought out in the front below the propsed clitoris .
A hole is created in front of the anal opening.
The degloved penis is inverted into it to create a new vagina.
The desired depth and size of vagina needs to be discussed in advance.
If needed skin is added to this penile skin tube to add to the diameter.
The scrotal skin is tailored to make the Labia.
Dressings are applies. Urinary catheter is put in.
Postoperative- The patient should take full bed rest and let the tissues heal up.
Most of the sutures are removed in 10 days. Others would dissolve away.
Recovery – the new vagina is healed well in three weeks and should become soft in 3- 6 months.
Do not rush for physical relationship till it all healed and softened.
The new vagina will not have any self lubricating mechanism.
These factors will have to be kept in mind at the time of physical relationship.
Also it will be skin lined blind end tube. This skin will need cleaning / hygiene like the rest of the body skin.
