This procedure includes removal of breast tissue with masculinizing chest contouring and nipple grafting in some cases. Chest surgery is sometimes performed as an outpatient procedure but some patients may require one night stay in the hospital.

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty surgery involves creation of the vulva (outer female genital structures) with or without a vaginal canal. Patients may opt to have a “zero depth” vaginoplasty procedure which involves creation of the outer genitals (labia, clitoral hood, urethral opening) only without a vagina. The procedure requires an inpatient stay in the hospital and if a full-depth vaginoplasty is performed, there is a required stay at a nearby hotel. For zero-depth procedures patients should expect to be in Cleveland for 3-4 days after the surgery and for a full-depth procedure, 7-10 days after surgery.
