What is it

A transformative step in your journey

FTM bottom surgery encompasses procedures that reshape genital anatomy to create a masculine appearance and function.

Bottom surgery is a deeply personal and affirming step for many transmasculine and non-binary individuals. Procedures include phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, scrotoplasty, hysterectomy, and urethral lengthening — each tailored to your anatomy, goals, and priorities.

Every plan is built collaboratively, respecting your identity and comfort. Our surgeons follow internationally recognized, WPATH-aligned standards to ensure safe, ethical, and natural-looking outcomes with comprehensive follow-up care.

Surgical techniques

Bottom surgery options

Your surgeon will recommend the approach best suited to your anatomy, goals, and priorities.

Phalloplasty

Indications
Patients seeking a full-size neophallus with the potential for standing urination and sexual function.
Advantages
Creates a sensate, functional penis using donor tissue from the forearm, thigh, or other sites.
Ideal candidates
Patients prioritizing size, function, and a complete masculine genital appearance.

Metoidioplasty

Indications
Patients with clitoral growth from testosterone seeking a smaller, naturally erect neophallus.
Advantages
Uses native tissue, preserving excellent sensation and offering a quicker recovery with minimal scarring.
Ideal candidates
Patients prioritizing sensation and a less invasive procedure over maximum size.

Scrotoplasty

Indications
Patients wanting creation of a scrotum, alone or alongside other bottom surgeries.
Advantages
Constructs a natural-looking scrotum that can later accommodate testicular prostheses if desired.
Ideal candidates
Patients seeking scrotal creation to complete their masculine genital anatomy.

Hysterectomy

Indications
Patients seeking removal of the uterus as part of their gender-affirming care.
Advantages
Ends menstruation, reduces dysphoria, and can simplify hormone management when combined with oophorectomy.
Ideal candidates
Patients wanting an affirming step that may also be prerequisite to other bottom surgeries.

Recovery

Your healing roadmap

A clear, week-by-week picture of what recovery looks like — so you always know what comes next.

  1. 1
    Week 1

    Rest & monitoring

    Hospital stay or close outpatient monitoring depending on the procedure. Manage swelling, follow wound care, and limit movement.

  2. 2
    Weeks 2–3

    Healing & support

    Incisions begin to close. Continue gentle cleansing and wear any recommended support garments. Light walking is encouraged.

  3. 3
    Weeks 4–6

    Return to routine

    Most patients resume light daily activities and desk work. Swelling continues to subside and the new contour becomes more visible.

  4. 4
    Months 2–3

    Tissue maturation

    Surgical sites soften and settle. Scar care begins, and any staged procedures may be planned if part of your surgical roadmap.

  5. 5
    Months 6–12

    Final result

    Healing is complete, scars have matured, and the final functional and aesthetic outcomes are established.

Results & scarring

What your results will look like

Understanding scars, sensation, and long-term outcomes helps you set clear, realistic expectations.

Expected scars

Scar pattern varies by technique — from minimal with metoidioplasty to donor-site scars with phalloplasty, all fading over time.

Scar evolution

Scars are firm and pink early on, then progressively flatten and fade over 12–18 months with proper scar care.

Sensation

Nerve-preserving techniques aim to maintain meaningful sensation. Sensation may evolve and improve over the first year.

Functional outcomes

Depending on the procedure and options chosen, standing urination, sexual sensation, and implant-based rigidity may be achieved.

Long-term results

Once healed, results are permanent and stable, delivering lasting affirmation and comfort.

Genital contour

Tissue is sculpted for a natural, masculine appearance that harmonizes with your body and goals.
