Sex reassignment surgery or transgender surgery allows an
individual to change sex. These procedures are aimed at individuals (men and
women) whose gender conflicts with their biological sex. Given the strong
psychological impact of these procedures, surgeons, psychiatrists,
endocrinologists and psychologists come together to assess the patient.
Engaging in a process of sex change represents a long journey, which involves a
heavy treatment, which is not limited to the surgery alone.

How Does it Work?
What Does Sex Reassignment Surgery Treatment Involve?
1.
Consultation for Sex Reassignment
Surgery
The first step to start your sex reassignment surgery
process will be the online consultation.
This stage is the head of everything that will allow us to understand whether you want to enter this process, whether you know the process more or less. As this is a big decision and long journey, in the sex reassignment surgery procedure, a more detailed process is followed instead of a short preliminary interview where we will understand each other. We inform you, get information from you and offer you options to choose the clinic we will invite you to continue your process face to face.
Planning Your Trip and Choosing the
Clinic
At this stage, we will share the list of the clinic and surgeon; which we filter according to the criteria we receive from you. After you make your selection among them, we proceed to the stage of date determination and detailed adjustments.
2.
Final Consultation with Your Surgeon
When you arrive at the clinic, there will be a face-to-face consultation with your surgeon and the team involved in the process. This team, which is always with you to prepare you, eliminate or minimize possible risks, start your medication/hormone treatment, and prepare you perfectly for the process, both psychologically and physiologically, will also carry out the necessary official procedures.
3.
Medical Examinations
Before the sex reassignment surgery process begins, your surgeon will conduct some necessary medical tests to make sure that you are in acceptable health status for the procedure. Every patient is required to undergo medical tests to ensure that nothing can hinder the success of the surgery and if any risk detected surgeons try to eliminate them first.
