Sex Reassignment Surgery (Female To Male) at Alex I. Rubin M.D

Some people are born male and some are born female. While there are some people who are transgender, whose gender identity does not match their assigned sex. Sex change surgery, also known as gender reassignment surgery (GRS) or sex reassignment surgery (SRS) is there to help these people. This is a surgical procedure that changes the sex of a person. It changes a transgender person’s physical appearance according to there identified gender. It treats gender dysphoria in these people. This includes both feminization and masculinization surgeries. In masculinization surgery, there are two domains:

• Top surgery
• Bottom surgery.

In top surgery, mastectomy is performed to remove the breasts and give your chest a more male-like contour. Bottom surgery involves increasing the length of the clitoris which is called metoidioplasty, production of a penis, and scrotum which are known as phalloplasty and scrotoplasty respectively, and removal of the uterus that is a hysterectomy. This surgery is not for everyone. A number of things are considered before opting for surgery. However, normal people with assigned gender can also go for this if they want to.

Before the operation, your assigned sex does not correspond to your gender identity. You suffer from gender dysphoria. You feel uncomfortable in your skin. However; after the surgery, you are a person of your desired sex. You are converted from a female to a male.
