FTM Surgery Thailand
Masculinizing options range from chest (top) surgery through to full staged phalloplasty. Top surgery is available at more than one partner; full phalloplasty and the staged genital pathway are confirmed at Yanhee.
Mastectomy from $3,350 (€2,920) · Total phalloplasty $12,900 (€11,210) (Yanhee, official)
Top surgery ~1–2 weeks · Staged phalloplasty ~1 year+
Varies widely by stage
FTM care is rarely a single operation. Chest surgery is a common first step; genital reconstruction (phalloplasty) is staged over time. We coordinate each stage and the travel around it.
What our partners confirm
- Top surgery (mastectomy), including inverted-T; offered at Yanhee, with masculinising chest surgery also at Wansiri.
- Hysterectomy options, TAHBSO and LAVH at Yanhee.
- Full staged phalloplasty, urethral prefabrication, total phalloplasty, coronoplasty, and penile/scrotal prostheses, confirmed at Yanhee only.
Staging, stay & recovery
- Top surgery usually means a short stay and 1–2 weeks in Thailand.
- Phalloplasty is staged across multiple procedures, typically over a year or more.
- We help you plan each trip, so the staging fits your life rather than the other way round.
If full phalloplasty or a complete staged FTM pathway is your goal, Yanhee is the partner we coordinate with. Care follows WPATH standards.
What FTM surgery in Thailand covers
FTM surgery is not one operation but a set of gender-affirming procedures, and almost nobody has all of them. Trans men and transmasculine and non-binary people choose the parts that matter to them, in the order that suits their life. In Thailand, our partner hospitals coordinate the full masculinizing range, and you are free to do one step now and others later, or none at all.
- FTM top surgery (chest reconstruction), the most commonly chosen procedure.
- Hysterectomy and removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, sometimes done alongside other surgery.
- Metoidioplasty, which uses hormone-enlarged tissue to create a small phallus.
- Phalloplasty, a staged reconstruction that builds a larger phallus using a tissue graft.
Bottom surgery in particular is usually staged across more than one operation and more than one trip, so it helps to think of it as a path rather than a single date. We help you map that path realistically before you commit to anything.
FTM top surgery in Thailand
Top surgery removes breast tissue and reshapes the chest to a flatter, more masculine or more neutral contour. It is the step most people start with, and for many it is the single change that most eases dysphoria. The right technique depends mainly on chest size and skin elasticity.
- Double incision with free nipple grafts suits larger or less elastic chests, and gives the flattest result. It leaves two horizontal scars that fade over time.
- Periareolar or keyhole approaches suit smaller chests with good skin elasticity, and leave less scarring.
Your surgeon recommends the approach that fits your chest at consultation. Most people stay in Thailand for around one to two weeks for top surgery, wear a compression garment for several weeks, and return to desk work within a couple of weeks, with strenuous activity held off for around six. To understand costs, our guide on how much FTM top surgery costs goes into detail, and current guide prices are on the pricing page.
Phalloplasty and metoidioplasty in Thailand
There are two main routes to masculinizing bottom surgery, and they answer different priorities. Neither is better in the abstract; what matters is which fits your goals around size, sensation, standing urination and how much surgery you want to take on.
- Metoidioplasty releases and reshapes tissue that testosterone has already enlarged to form a small phallus. It is a shorter operation with a faster recovery, keeps erogenous sensation, and can often allow standing urination.
- Phalloplasty builds a larger phallus using a graft of skin from the forearm or thigh. It is a staged reconstruction across several operations and trips, and can include lengthening the urethra and, later, an erectile and testicular implant.
Because phalloplasty is staged, planning matters. Our guides comparing phalloplasty and metoidioplasty and explaining how phalloplasty works are good starting points, and at consultation your surgeon will set out the stages, the time between them and what each one achieves.
Who FTM surgery in Thailand is for
There is no single point at which you become ready, and no procedure you are obliged to have. For those who do choose surgery, surgeons generally work to the WPATH Standards of Care (SOC-8) together with each hospital's own assessment. In practice that usually means being an adult able to give informed consent, a documented experience of gender dysphoria or an assessment that confirms it, and reasonably stable general health. Many surgeons ask for a period on testosterone before bottom surgery, since it changes the tissue they work with.
If you already have supporting letters from a clinician at home, bring them; if not, this can often be arranged. The free consultation we set up is where the surgeon reviews your history and tells you honestly what is right for you now, which approach they would recommend, and how any stages would be spaced.
What a coordinated FTM package in Thailand includes
We are a facilitator, not a hospital. We wrap the medical care, which your chosen partner hospital provides, inside one coordinated trip, so you deal with a single team that speaks your language from your first question through to follow-up at home. A package usually brings together surgery with your chosen surgeon at a vetted partner hospital, recovery-suitable accommodation, airport and appointment transfers, interpreting, and full coordination of your consultation, scheduling and aftercare. For staged bottom surgery, we help you plan each trip in turn.
Thailand's pricing is typically a fraction of comparable surgery in the US, UK or Australia, which is part of why people travel, but the fairer measure is total value rather than the headline figure. Every price on this site is an indicative guide for a coordinated package, shown in US dollars first with euros alongside, and is not a quote; a firm price follows once the surgeon has reviewed your case. See current guide prices on the pricing and packages page and more on why people choose Thailand.
Hysterectomy as part of FTM care in Thailand
Some trans men and non-binary people choose a hysterectomy, the removal of the uterus, often together with the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Reasons vary: easing dysphoria, ending periods, or as a planned step before or alongside bottom surgery. It is a personal decision and not a required one, and there is no expectation that you have it.
At our partner hospitals it is usually performed using minimally invasive, laparoscopic techniques where suitable, which tends to mean smaller incisions and a more comfortable recovery than open surgery. As with every procedure here, the surgeon confirms the right approach for you at consultation, and we coordinate it within the same trip where it makes sense to combine it with other surgery. If you are weighing it up, it is one of the things we can help you talk through with the surgeon directly before you decide.
