Breast removal (mastectomy) as part of gender reassignment

Regardless of their sexual orientation, many people feel as if they are imprisoned in the wrong body.

For the recognition of a transsexuality »woman to man« are usually a psychological report with an indication for an operation, an official change of name and hormonal therapy with proven »living in the opposite sex« prerequisites so that an application can be made to your health insurance company for the assumption of costs for similar interventions.

Normally, the acknowledgement of »woman to man« transsexuality requires a psychological report with surgical indication, an official change of name, and hormonal therapy with proof of having lived for a prescribed period in the other gender, so that an application can be made to your health insurance provider requesting coverage of the costs of reassignment operations.

The primary focus of gender reassignment is usually the removal of the female breast (mastectomy) , which represents the greatest visible stigma for the patient. Which surgical mastectomy procedure can be used in your case (e.g. perimamillary access or free transplantation of the nipples) depends on your initial findings.

You can find out more about mastectomy at breast removal.

During the procedure, you can choose from some options, for example a microsurgical reconstruction of the penis, a so-called »penoid«, or a removal of the uterus and ovaries.
In this context, we cooperate with reputable gender reversal surgeons.
