Undergoing any transgender surgery is a significant decision. You may have already prepared yourself mentally and likely have some idea of your desired results. Preparing for transman bottom surgery requires knowing the right questions to ask your surgeon and other transgender care professionals. Here are some questions to start.
Am I a Good Candidate?
When you visit a surgeon, ask if you are a good candidate for the procedure. They should walk you through the treatment options and the methods needed. A professional can help you with how to prepare and ensure you are physically fit enough to endure the surgical procedure.
Is There Anything I Can Do to Get the Best Results?
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions before transman bottom surgery. They provide ways to enhance your results or decrease the chance of complications. Every procedure is different, but there may be a few things that you can do to prepare for a successful surgery.
How Long Will Recovery Take?
You may be hospitalized for three to six days. Then you may be under close outpatient supervision for another week to 10 days. After transman bottom surgery, you won’t be able to do anything strenuous for about six weeks.
