Female to Male Surgery
VJ’s Transgender Clinic in Visakhapatnam provides individualised gender-affirming surgical care for trans men and other transmasculine people considering female-to-male (FTM) procedures. Depending on a person’s goals and clinical assessment, care may include chest masculinisation, body or facial masculinisation, hysterectomy, and genital reconstruction. Dr. C Vijay Kumar and the clinical team discuss suitable options, expected recovery, possible risks, fertility considerations and the likely sequence of treatment before a surgical plan is finalised.
FTM and transmasculine surgical planning is individualised. Some people may use testosterone as part of their gender-affirming care, while others may not. Supportive counselling or mental-health input can also be helpful for some patients, but the exact requirements depend on the procedure, current clinical guidance and the individual’s circumstances.
During consultation, the clinical team reviews medical history, treatment goals, current medicines, previous procedures, fertility preferences and any factors that could affect anaesthesia, healing or recovery. A surgical plan is then discussed based on clinical suitability and informed consent.
The cost of FTM surgery varies because treatment may involve one procedure or several staged procedures. Fees can differ based on the operations selected, hospital and anaesthesia requirements, length of stay, implants or prostheses if applicable, and the individual treatment plan. A personalised estimate is provided after consultation and clinical assessment.
Surgical Procedure for Female to Male Surgery
Facial masculinisation surgery: Facial masculinisation may involve one or more procedures intended to create more traditionally masculine facial proportions, depending on the person’s anatomy and goals. Treatment planning is individualised after assessment and may involve areas such as the forehead, nose, chin, jaw or cheeks. Not every patient needs the same combination of procedures.
Cheek Augmentation
Rhinoplasty
Chin recontouring
Jaw contouring
Forehead lengthening
Thyroid cartilage enhancement
Top surgery: Chest masculinisation, often called FTM top surgery, may be considered by transmasculine patients who want a flatter or more masculine chest contour. Technique selection depends on factors such as chest size, skin elasticity, nipple position, scarring preferences and individual goals. The surgeon should discuss expected scars, nipple-areola considerations, recovery and possible complications before treatment.
Body masculinisation surgery: Body contouring may be considered by some transmasculine patients to change fat distribution and body proportions. Depending on the treatment plan, liposuction or other contouring techniques may be used in selected areas such as the torso, back, thighs or buttocks. Suitability, expected changes, scarring, recovery and possible complications should be discussed during consultation.
Buttock masculinisation: For selected patients, body-contouring techniques may be used to alter buttock or hip proportions as part of a broader masculinisation plan. The approach depends on anatomy, goals and clinical suitability, and results vary between individuals.
Genital masculinisation: Genital reconstruction is highly individualised and may involve one or more staged procedures. Options can include metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, scrotoplasty, vaginectomy and, where appropriate, hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy. The goals, limitations, urinary and sexual-function considerations, donor-site issues, implant options, recovery and possible complications vary by procedure and should be discussed in detail with the surgical team.
