Transgender Surgery Preparation
The decision to transition is not an easy or inexpensive one. I am quite sensitive to that fact and the commitment it takes. I’ve attended some presentations regarding Sexual Re-assignment Surgery (SRS) or otherwise known as Gender Affirming Surgery, and continue to learn as much as possible to help my clients who are on this journey.
Sexual Reassignment Surgery
For Trans-male clients who are preparing for Phalloplasty Surgery, depending if you are grafting from the forearm or the thigh, it should be hair free to avoid hair growing in the canal formed for the urethra.
Some general things you need to know as a Trans-female when deciding to go ahead with Vaginoplasty surgery include:
Hair needs to be removed from:
- The base of the penile shaft
- The entire scrotum
- 2″ wide strip along the perineum ending 1″ above the anus
*these areas should be hair free for at least a three months prior to surgery depending on your surgeon’s recommendations to avoid hair growth within the vaginal cavity.
For those Transgender clients who are not planning on having SRS or who do not require hair removal from the perineum prior to surgery, I offer electrolysis for face, chest, arms, back or most areas excluding mucosal membranes.
