A JOURNEY OF BECOMING REAL YOU
In recent years, a lot has changed. The conversion from manual to digital world. We have come a long way from non-acceptance to accepting the Westernization needed for the country and for its people to grow personally and professionally as well, especially in a country like India, where Women were considered for household work and child management. As we are moving forward digitally, it is our responsibility to adopt a Western mindset. So, Gender change surgeries are seen negatively. The conversation around gender identity has moved from the margins to the mainstream, making people understand the broader societal acceptance. Gender Change Surgeries, also known as Gender-Affirming Surgeries or Sex Reassignment Surgeries– stand out as very pivotal medical procedures that can play a critical role in the lives of transgenders and cis females and males. These surgeries are not only to develop or change the physical characteristics of gender but to provide an inner satisfaction of being who you are.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FEMALE FEMINISATION SURGERY?
As we know, Transgenders are now being considered a third gender in the sex category. This is a cosmetic surgery that is done to look good and develop new and soft facial features, traditionally making them look feminine naturally. This makes the change in appearance and overall look.
TOP 2 SURGERIES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL RELAXED AND SATISFACTORY
1. HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY- It is important to understand that transgenders who want to undergo a transition to become female begin the physical transition with Estrogen Therapy and Anti- Androgens. Then, some breasts start to develop regularly within 2 years.
2. BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY- It is the most common and top surgery for transgenders. In this, there are two primary surgical implants –
Subglandular (above the chest muscle)
Submuscular (under the pectoral muscle) – often preferred in trans women due to limited natural breast tissue.
2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF IMPLANTS
Silicone implants: More natural in feel and shape, most commonly used.
Saline implants: Filled with sterile salt water, less commonly used due to firmer feel.
So, this is how gender surgeries are being conducted. It takes a lot of time to know yourself. Self-confidence is the key to carrying yourself with so much perfection at the right moment. Trans women usually have broader chests than cisgender women.
For example- There are many Bollywood designers and celebrities who are transgenders, and many of them have made their mark in the industry by being who they actually are without any doubt. Celebrity Designer – Saisha Shinde is a known designer, and every top celebrity has worn her dresses. Being a trans woman, she did not stop and went on to make her dreams successful and true. So love yourself and don’t worry about inner beauty.
COST BREAKDOWN OF SURGERIES
In many countries, gender-affirming surgeries are covered by national healthcare or insurance when medically necessary. Also, abroad, it is common but very expensive, but in India, it is expensive but cost-effective.
PROCEDURE PERIOD
It takes around 2-3 hours to operate. Sometimes, for some other surgeries, it may take around 5-6 hours because of a very sensitive area to operate on.
RECOVERY PERIOD
The surgeries take some required time period for recovery–
First week: There is Swelling, bruising, and discomfort for most of the time. Most patients return to light activities.
2–4 weeks: All the bandages are removed, swelling begins to heal.
6 weeks onward: Resume full activity, including exercise; final shape settles.
Most of the people return to work when they are fully recovered.
