Vaginoplasty

Introduction

So what is vaginoplasty anyways? Vaginoplasty is a gender-affirming lower surgery performed on trans-feminine people to make them feel more comfortable in their own bodies.

General Information

Vaginoplasty is a surgery which involves rearranging genital tissue (penis, scrotum) into different genital tissues (vaginal canal, vulva). Depending on how much tissue is available, a skin graft may be required. Permenant hair removal is a prerequisite, due to the nature of this surgery.
