How to find the right surgeon?
Board certification and hospital privileges
These are preponderant things to check. Without these things, no one should consider a surgeon for this surgery. These things give assurance that the surgeon is equipped and well-versed with the necessary knowledge that is required.
Specialised training and experience of working with transgender
Transgender surgery is different from other surgeries; therefore, a person needs to have the experience of working with transgender. Specialised training will enable them to perform surgery perfectly.
Surgical consultation
Having a conversation with your surgeon is immensely beneficial as you can tell them what changes you want and what not. You can ask certain questions to them and by checking what answers they are delivering, you can evaluate whether choosing them is a perfect choice or not.
The surgical procedure:
Preoperative preparation
Firstly, the surgeon needs to know your cranium and this can be done by a CT scan or X ray. Therefore, before the surgery, this needs to be done on priority basis.
The surgery
At first, anaesthesia is given to the patients so that when the surgery is performed, the patients do not feel anything. The patient will wake up after the surgery has been performed, and for some time, the patient will be under supervision.
Postoperative care
It is quite an intense surgery, and a person will need care afterwards for some time. You will need to use ice packs for some time and a person who can assist you in having your meals.
Recovery timeline
This surgery results in pain in the face, and it becomes difficult to deal with it. The recovery time period depends on the type of surgery you have undergone and the number of surgeries. For the first three days, proper support is needed for such patients for 24/7 hours as they need to change their bandages frequently. They need support while bathing and eating meals. After that, for 1 to 2 weeks, they need to be very careful, and then they are free to do whatever they want without anybody’s support.
