Surgeries for women, and for other AMAB trans people

"AMAB" is a shorthand for "assigned male at birth."

Listed are some of the surgeries that are medically necessary, or desired, for trans women and other trans people assigned male at birth. A few people undergo them all, often at great cost (and often with great satisfaction afterwards), and some choose to undergo none or only some. They include:

• Orchiectomy (removal of the testes, i.e. castration)
• Vaginoplasty (creation of a vagina)
• Labiaplasty (creation of labia; usually refers to creation of clitoral hood as well)
• Breast augmentation
• Surgeries on the vocal cords to make the voice's pitch higher
• Facial feminization surgeries (FFS) of various sorts:
  
  
  • Hairline changes
  • Brow lift
  • Rhinoplasty (reshaping of the nose)
  • Chin and jaw reshaping
  • Various procedures on the lips
  • Flattening and smoothing of the brow ridge
  • Tracheal shave (reduction of Adam's apple)
