Long term implications of chest reconstructions are several. Important for the patient to remember that this is irreversible procedure. The patient will not be able to breastfeed in the future. And to the majority of the patients, they are going to lose completely the sensation in the nipples. Because we are disconnecting the nipple completely off and reducing the size and the thickness, we are placing them back in. Most of the times, their nerves do not grow in and therefore they will be completely numb or somewhat numb.

I still have my male anatomy, but I embrace femininity on my own terms. I don't desire to have a vagina or be like other women. I simply want to express myself in a feminine way.

If someone desires female anatomy but does not have it, there is a surgical option available. This procedure involves inverting the penis to create a vagina.

"Speaker 0: A phalloplasty is a procedure to basically create a penis or a phallus for an individual who was born biological female and who seeks transition to, a male, gender." "Speaker 0: The procedure is done with plastic surgeons and urologists." "Speaker 0: The urologists manipulate the tissues in the surrounding area to lengthen the urethra." "Speaker 0: A new scrotum is created and, some of the anatomical parts of, the female anatomy are removed." "Speaker 0: We typically utilize tissue from elsewhere." "Speaker 0: For example, the forearm or the thigh is used." "Speaker 0: The plastic surgeons are also responsible for, providing sensation by doing the nerve coaptation so that the new phallus will have sensation, and also responsible for reestablishing the blood supply, and also to shape it in a way that appears more physiologically and anatomically like a natural one."

Speaker 1 had gynecomastia surgery because he was tired of worrying about what clothes to wear. During a follow-up appointment, he tells Dr. Duffer that one nipple seems to get more erect than the other and sticks out a little more. Dr. Duffer says that Speaker 1 looks really good and natural and that one side of his chest is firmer, possibly due to more scar tissue. Speaker 1 says he noticed tissue when he was 13 and it never went away with working out or dieting. He researched plastic surgeons and was nervous at first due to swelling, but the results were priceless. He doesn't have to obsess over what to wear anymore. Later, Speaker 1, who is Officer Sewell, offers the doctor and another person a ride to a gay bar. He then invites a cop to hang out with them later at the gay bar.

Max, who identifies as a boy, is visiting the doctor to discuss hormone blockers to prevent puberty. He has started experiencing some breast growth and feels uncomfortable. His parent expresses concern about medical interventions and their effects on bone health and psychosocial development. The doctor explains that hormone blockers can halt puberty progression and reassures that if Max changes his mind, he can still go through female puberty later. The procedure involves inserting a small implant in Max's arm, which will last about 14 to 18 months. The entire process is quick, taking only about 10 to 15 minutes.

Speaker 0: In the immediate recovery after chest reconstruction, the patients are going home the same day or the following day. In the majority of the cases, they go home with a drain in each breast pocket and they have some dressings. They also have a foam to cover their chest to help with reducing the swelling and the risk for bleeding and a surgical vest. The majority of the patients describe that their pain is between two to four out of 10, and most of them don't take any narcotics and need a few medications just to control the pain.

Penile inversion vaginoplasty is the full name of vaginoplasty. In this procedure, the surgical team is creating the outer and the inner vagina. The reason it's called penile inversion vaginoplasty because we use the penile skin and the scrotal skin in order to reconstruct the vagina. By doing so, we break it down to all of its components and we use some of the tissue to reconstruct things the way they were supposed to be for that patient.

I decided to have gynecomastia surgery because I was tired of worrying about my appearance. After the surgery, my chest is healing well, although one nipple is healing better than the other. I noticed some firmness on one side compared to the other, but overall, I look natural and feel great. I struggled with excess tissue since I was 13, and despite my efforts to work out and diet, it never went away. After researching surgeons, I took the plunge, and the results have been life-changing. I no longer obsess over what to wear, which has given me a sense of freedom. Later, we chatted with an officer while heading to a gay bar, and he gave us a warning but declined our invitation to join us.

There is not one surgery that every transgender person wants. Many transgender people have no interest in having surgery. For other people, they undergo medical transition involving use of gender affirming hormone treatments. And for others, they may have one or more surgeries. They may have top surgery, which is surgery on the chest or breasts. They may have bottom surgery, surgery on the genitals. They may have facial feminization. Trans women may have a tracheal shave to reduce their Adam's apple. No two trans people have the same needs to resolve their gender dysphoria. So you can never make an assumption that any trans person wants any particular surgery or any surgery at all.

Clementine, a detransitioner, shares her experience with another person also named Clementine. She began puberty blockers at 12, testosterone at 13, and had a double mastectomy at 14. Testosterone caused her to experience psychosis, so she stopped taking it around age 17. Now 20, she detransitioned earlier this year and is undergoing reconstructive surgery. She notes that getting approval for reconstructive surgery has been more difficult than getting the initial double mastectomy. She expresses disbelief that people question the experiences of detransitioners.

In this video, the speaker shares their top surgery results, which they had three years ago with Dr. Katharine Gast. They show their faded scars and mention that they don't do much scar care because they like how they look. The speaker emphasizes the importance of their decision to have top surgery at 16, which involved removing excess chest tissue and masculinizing the shape.

I love talking about what it means to be non binary. I'm non binary. And so I use they, them, their pronouns. So when we think about non binary, really what we're talking about is people of a variety of gender diverse identities that are outside of the typical traditional gender binary. Man and woman is typically what we think about as the gender binary. So non binary folks are those of us who live within that, outside of that, beyond it, and essentially transcend it in some way. So it might be folks that feel like they're a combination of masculine and feminine or that they're entirely outside of that construct or that context altogether.

A gender affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. Hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus. Some gender affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries, but that's technically a separate procedure called a bilateral oophorectomy. And not every gender affirming hysterectomy includes that, and people who are getting gender affirming hysterectomies do not have to have their ovaries removed.

I prefer male pronouns and presenting as male. I want to either have no genitalia through nullification surgery or have female genitalia. Even if I don't have testicles, I would still take testosterone. My husband and I haven't decided on surgery, but I have started tucking and binding my genitals, which has been life-changing for me.

"The eligibility for getting gender affirming surgeries at Boston Children's Hospital is basically the same as it would be for most other hospitals or surgeons in The United States." "And that's the case because we all follow the World Professional Association for Transgender Health or WPATH standards of care." "For top surgery, you are requested, but not required to have been on gender affirming hormones for at least a year." "If you're a trans woman, it's really encouraged that you be on estrogen for at least a year because you want to maximize your natural breast growth." "Many surgical centers require you to be 18." "At Boston Children's Hospital for top surgeries, we'll see people as young as age 15 if they've been affirmed in their gender for a long period of time and don't really have any other life complications that make surgery inappropriate."

A man underwent gynecomastia surgery because he was tired of worrying about what clothes to wear. Post-surgery, he notes one nipple is healing better and gets more erect than the other. The doctor confirms one side of his chest is firmer, possibly due to more scar tissue, but states the results look natural and not overdone. The man says he noticed tissue growth around age 13 that wouldn't go away with diet or exercise. He researched surgeons and was initially nervous about swelling post-surgery. He says it took two weeks to return to his routine, excluding workouts, and the results were priceless, freeing him from obsessing over clothing. Separately, a man offers police officers an invitation to a gay bar. The officer declines but is told to inform any interested colleagues.

Gender affirming hysterectomy is similar to a regular hysterectomy, involving the removal of the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. Sometimes, the ovaries are also removed in a separate procedure called bilateral oophorectomy, but this is not always necessary for gender affirming hysterectomies. People undergoing this surgery do not have to have their ovaries removed.

Binding is essentially when someone who's assigned female wears something on their chest to make it appear flatter. And a lot of my patients who identify as transgender male or non binary or male leaning like to do that. The top three tips I have for safe binding are to first make sure you're measuring correctly. And sometimes it might take the assistance of like a parent or a trusted friend to do it right. Second, making sure that you're buying not only the correct size for your chest measurements, but for your shoulder measurements too. Cause a lot of people make mistakes there. And then the third tip is definitely not wearing it for more than ten hours a day.

Penile inversion vaginoplasty, also known as vaginoplasty, involves creating both the outer and inner vagina using penile and scrotal skin. This procedure reconstructs the vagina by utilizing the patient's own tissue.

Michigan Medicine strives to be a safe, welcoming place for transgender individuals and to provide excellent health care regardless of gender. The goal of this video is to improve the comfort and competency of frontline staff in caring for transgender individuals. We will start by talking about gender identity, challenges the transgender community has faced in the health care system, and Michigan's policies regarding gender non-discrimination. The second half of this training is job specific. To discuss gender identity, it is important to understand the difference between sex and gender. Sex refers to one's reproductive organs, native hormones, and chromosomes, while gender identity refers to one's internal sense of gender, a person's basic sense of being a man or boy, a woman or girl, or another gender. Gender identity can be expressed by how individuals present themselves socially, including clothing, physical characteristics, speech, and mannerisms. All people, whether they are transgender or cisgender, meaning not transgender, have a gender identity and expression. Transgender is a term for individuals whose gender identity differs from the gender identity typically associated with their sex assigned at birth. There are many identities that fall under the umbrella of transgender. Transgender men, trans men, or trans masculine refer to people who are assigned female sex at birth but identify as men or masculine. Transgender women, trans women, or trans feminine refer to people who were assigned male sex at birth but identify as women or feminine. Other individuals may identify as genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, two spirited, bigender, or another identity that does not fit neatly into the categories of men or women. All major American medical societies, including the American Medical Association and American Psychological Association, endorse gender affirming care as the standard of care for transgender individuals. This means caring for people in a way that supports their gender transition and gender identity. Transgender people may undergo any one of a number of gender affirming medical interventions, including hormonal therapies like estrogen, testosterone, or hormone blockers, and surgical treatment to change body contours or genitalia. However, it is important to note that one does not have to undergo any medical or surgical treatment to be transgender. Some people are easily read as the gender they affirm while others are visibly gender non conforming or androgynous appearing.

This boy just had top surgery, and I want to share our journey. After the surgery, I was called to the Recovery Room. The surgeon was working on him, and there was a lot of blood coming from his scars. They informed me that they needed to take him back for more surgery because a blood vessel had popped. Unfortunately, we lost his right armpit hair during the process, but the left one remained untouched.

Breast augmentation for transfeminine patients is augmenting or increasing the volume of the breast tissue. And when we do that, we're trying to reconstruct a more feminine appearance to the chest. We typically do that with silicone implants that can either sit under the muscle or under the breast tissue itself. To the majority of the patients, they have this surgery several years after being on estrogen because estrogen itself can cause a building of breast tissue. It's very typical that we will need to increase the distance between the nipple to the fold underneath the breast and we are able to do that in the same procedure as well.

Transgender is an umbrella term to describe a person that feels a mismatch between their body characteristics and their gender identity. Until recent years we used to think of a gender as a binary thing, either a female or a male, but now we understand it's a little bit more complicated than that. It's actually composed of four different things. The first one is gender identity, which is how you define your gender in your own hand and how you feel about it. The second one is gender expression and how you express yourself, meaning how you dress up, what kind of a hairstyle you have, and how you talk. The third one is sexual orientation. And the fourth one is actually your body characteristics, including your chromosomes, your genitalia, and other secondary body characteristics like breasts and shoulders and width of your body.
