Yes, FTM individuals can undergo genital reconstruction surgery (bottom surgery). There are two main types of bottom surgery for FTM individuals: metoidioplasty and phalloplasty.

• Metoidioplasty: This surgery creates a penis from the clitoris and surrounding tissue. Metoidioplasty is a less invasive option than phalloplasty, but it does not result in a fully functional penis.
• Phalloplasty: This surgery creates a penis from tissue taken from another part of the body, such as the arm or leg. Phalloplasty is a more complex and invasive surgery than metoidioplasty, but it can result in a fully functional penis.

The best type of bottom surgery for you will depend on your individual circumstances and preferences. It is important to talk to a doctor who is experienced in working with transgender people to discuss your options and make the best decision for you.

Bottom surgery is a major surgery, and it is important to be prepared for the risks and recovery time. Some of the risks of bottom surgery include:

• Infection: This is the most common risk of bottom surgery.
• Bleeding: This is another common risk of bottom surgery.
• Scarring: All surgery leaves scars, but the scars from bottom surgery can be minimized with good surgical technique.
• Nerve damage: This is a rare risk of bottom surgery.
• Sensation loss: This is another rare risk of bottom surgery.

The recovery time for bottom surgery varies from person to person. However, most people need to take 6-12 weeks off work or school to recover.

If you are considering bottom surgery, it is important to talk to a doctor about the risks and benefits before starting treatment.

Yes, FTM individuals have the option to undergo genital reconstruction surgery, commonly referred to as “bottom surgery” or “phalloplasty.” This surgical procedure involves the construction of a neophallus (a new penis) using various techniques, including tissue grafts, implants, and other procedures.

Phalloplasty aims to create a penis that is aesthetically and functionally similar to a cisgender male’s penis. The surgical techniques and options available for phalloplasty can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s goals, anatomical considerations, and the surgeon’s expertise.

It’s important to note that phalloplasty is a complex and highly specialized surgical procedure. It typically requires multiple stages and can have potential risks and complications. It’s crucial to consult with a skilled and experienced surgeon who specializes in gender-affirming surgeries to discuss the specific details, expectations, risks, and potential outcomes of phalloplasty. The decision to undergo phalloplasty is highly personal, and it’s important to gather comprehensive information and have a thorough discussion with a medical professional before making any decisions.
