The gender reassignment procedure will differ between male-to-female and female-to-male transitions. However, in both cases, Dr. Javier Collado will recommend discontinuing hormonal treatment 4 weeks before the surgery.

In the case of male-to-female gender reassignment (also known as vaginoplasty), the surgeon will open the penis, separating the cavernous bodies that compose it, as well as the vasculonervous pedicle. With the excess skin, the vaginal walls and clitoris are finally formed for the patient.

However, in the case of female-to-male gender reassignment, the technique used is known as phalloplasty. In this procedure, the penis is reconstructed using skin tissue from the thighs, arms, or even the abdomen. To allow for normal sexual intercourse, a prosthesis will be necessary.

At Dr. Javier Collado’s clinic for gender reassignment surgery in Málaga, the entire process is facilitated, with a strong emphasis on patient follow-up examinations.
