Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between penile-inversion and sigmoid-colon vaginoplasty?
Penile-inversion is the most common technique, using penile skin to create the neovaginal lining. Sigmoid-colon technique uses a bowel segment for patients with limited donor tissue, providing greater depth and natural lubrication.
How long must I stay in Bangkok?
A minimum stay of 5–6 weeks is strongly recommended for MtF SRS, 7–10 days hospital, then recovery accommodation for post-op monitoring and initial dilation training.
