What is Gender Reassignment Surgery?
Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS), also known as Gender Confirmation Surgery or Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS), is a life-changing surgical procedure that helps transgender and non-binary individuals align their physical body with their gender identity. It is a deeply personal journey that encompasses a range of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures tailored to each individual's needs and goals.

These may include genital reconstruction, chest surgeries, and facial or body feminization/masculinization techniques. All procedures are performed under general or regional anaesthesia in a fully equipped, accredited surgical facility, ensuring patient safety and comfort throughout..

How long does it take to see the final results of Gender Reassignment Surgery?
Initial recovery typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the procedures performed. However, final results — including resolution of swelling, scar maturation, and full functional outcomes — may take 6 to 12 months. Patience and adherence to post-operative care instructions are key to optimal results.
Are the results of Gender Reassignment Surgery long-lasting?
The structural and anatomical changes achieved through gender reassignment surgery are permanent. Maintaining hormone therapy as prescribed by your endocrinologist and following a healthy lifestyle will help sustain the aesthetic and functional outcomes over the long term.
What are the common side effects of Gender Reassignment Surgery?
General anaesthesia is used for most gender reassignment procedures to ensure complete comfort and safety throughout the surgery. A trained anaesthesiologist monitors the patient continuously during the procedure. Local anaesthesia with sedation may be used for smaller, isolated procedures.
Is psychological support part of the treatment process?
Yes. Psychological evaluation before surgery is a standard and important part of the process. Our clinic provides access to certified counsellors and therapists for pre-operative assessment, emotional preparation, and post-operative support to ensure a holistic and healthy transition experience.
