What Is Sex Reassignment Surgery?
Sex reassignment surgery, also known as gender-affirming surgery, includes a range of procedures that alter physical characteristics to align with a person’s gender identity.
These procedures may include:
- Facial feminization surgery
- Breast augmentation (male to female)
- Chest masculinisation / top surgery (female to male)
- Body contouring procedures
- Fat grafting
- Facial procedures
Gender-affirming surgery is often performed as part of a broader transition process and may involve single procedures or staged treatments over time.
The goal is to create natural, harmonious results that align physical appearance with gender identity.
Male to Female (MTF) Procedures
Common procedures for male-to-female transition include:
Facial Feminization Surgery
Procedures such as forehead contouring, rhinoplasty, brow lift, chin reshaping and lip procedures help create feminine facial features.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation helps create feminine breast shape and chest contour and is often a key step in body feminisation.
Body Feminisation
Body contouring procedures such as fat grafting or liposuction may be used to create more feminine body proportions.
Female to Male (FTM) Procedures
Common procedures for female-to-male transition include:
Top Surgery (Chest Masculinisation)
Removal of breast tissue and reshaping of the chest to create a masculine chest contour is one of the most common procedures in female-to-male transition.
Body Contouring
Liposuction or fat redistribution may be used to create more masculine body proportions.
Facial Masculinisation
Facial contour procedures may be used to create more masculine facial features.
