Surgery

Breast construction is a gender-affirming surgery that creates, enlarges or shapes one’s breasts.

Testes removal removes the gonads and spermatic cord. It can be done with or without scrotectomy.

There are two surgical options for people considering the creation of a vulva or a vulva and vagina: vulvoplasty and vaginoplasty.

Chest construction (or top surgery) is a gender-affirming surgery that removes or reduces breast tissue and skin to make a flatter chest.

Uterus removal is a surgery that removes the uterus (usually including the cervix) and the fallopian tubes. Ovary removal removes one or both of the ovaries.

There are three gender-affirming, lower body surgeries that create a penis and scrotum (if desired): erectile tissue release, metoidioplasty and phalloplasty.
