Consultation Process
1. Initial Assessment:
During the initial assessment, each patient will have a private consultation with one of our experienced doctors. This is an opportunity for you to discuss your medical history, expectations, and any concerns you may have. The doctor will explain the surgical process, potential risks, and answer any questions you may have. This assessment is crucial to determine if you are a suitable candidate for genital reassignment surgery.
2. Mental Health Evaluation:
As part of our commitment to ensuring the well-being of our patients, a mental health evaluation is conducted by our trained psychologists. This evaluation aims to understand the psychological readiness of individuals for the surgery and to provide any necessary support throughout the process.
3. Physical Examination and Diagnostic Tests:
Prior to surgery, a thorough physical examination will be conducted to assess your general health and the specific anatomical considerations for the surgery. Diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and imaging studies, may also be performed to ensure your safety during the procedure.
4. Surgical Planning:
Once you are deemed suitable for surgery, our highly skilled surgical team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. This includes discussing the surgical technique, expected outcomes, and recovery process.
5. Preoperative Counseling:
Before the surgery, a dedicated counselor will provide you with detailed information about the procedure, the physical and emotional changes you can expect, and the support services available post-surgery. They will also guide you in making any necessary lifestyle modifications prior to the surgery.
6. Follow-up Care:
At Samarai's Genital Reassignment Surgery Center, we prioritize ongoing care and support for our patients.
