Generally, no, you cannot get bottom surgery without hormones. Hormone therapy is often a requirement for bottom surgery, as it helps to prepare the body for surgery and can also improve the results of surgery.
For example, in female-to-male (FTM) bottom surgery, testosterone therapy can help to enlarge the clitoris, which can then be used to create a penis. Testosterone therapy can also help to masculinize the body, which can make the results of surgery more aesthetically pleasing.
However, there are some cases where bottom surgery may be performed without hormones. For example, if a person is unable to take hormones for medical reasons, or if they do not want to take hormones, they may still be able to have bottom surgery. In these cases, the surgeon will need to take into account the person’s individual circumstances and make sure that they are aware of the risks and benefits of surgery.
It is important to talk to a qualified surgeon about your individual circumstances and to weigh the risks and benefits of surgery before making a decision.

Yes, it is possible to undergo bottom surgery without undergoing hormone therapy. Hormone therapy (typically estrogen for feminizing effects or testosterone for masculinizing effects) is commonly used as a part of the transition process for transgender individuals to induce desired physical changes and promote alignment with their gender identity. However, hormone therapy is not a strict requirement for undergoing bottom surgery.
The decision to undergo hormone therapy and/or bottom surgery is highly individual and depends on personal preferences, goals, and overall health. Some transgender individuals may opt for bottom surgery without undergoing hormone therapy for various reasons, such as medical contraindications, personal preferences, or specific circumstances.
It’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional experienced in transgender healthcare to discuss your specific situation, goals, and options. They can provide guidance, assess your individual needs, and help you make informed decisions about the best course of action for your transition journey.
Keep in mind that the eligibility criteria and surgical techniques for bottom surgery may vary depending on the specific procedure, surgeon, and healthcare system in your country or region. Working closely with healthcare professionals who specialize in transgender healthcare will help ensure that you receive the necessary support, information, and care tailored to your unique circumstances.
