How to Have Gender Reassignment Surgery

People opt for gender reassignment surgery to have their gender match their emotional and psychological identity. Some people feel that they were born the wrong gender, and to be happy they need to have that corrected. Follow these steps to learn how to have gender reassignment surgery.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Live as the gender you desire for at least 1 year. This is to make sure that gender reassignment is what you really want. You don't want to change your gender and then find out later that you were mistaken.
2. Find a surgeon that you are comfortable with. Check his background and experience in gender reassignment surgery. If you have a friend who has had the surgery and is pleased with it, ask who her surgeon was.
3. Schedule an appointment to meet with the surgeon. Ask all the questions that you have. It would be a good idea to write down your questions beforehand so that you don't forget them.
4. Submit your deposit on your payment. Make sure all the necessary forms are filled out and you have done everything your surgeon has requested.
5. Pick a date for the gender reassignment surgery. Don't schedule it within the same time frame as any other surgeries because this an intense procedure with a long recovery time.
6. Seek out any post-therapy that may be necessary. This includes but is not limited to hormone replacement, permanent hair removal and voice therapy.
7. See a counselor after your gender reassignment therapy. Though you may not think you need it, this a large transformation that even the most mentally healthy patient will still need.
