Female To Male:
Mastectomy : Removal of breasts without a scar
Hysterectomy : Removal of uterus and ovaries
Phalloplasty : Construction of urethra and penis done in stages
COST: Between 2lacs to 3lacs including surgery, sessions with psychiatrists, depending on room charges. This doesn't include cost of hormones. Sex reassignment operation are done in Mumbai and Kolkata in India, though fewer in numbers.
In Bangkok , Singapore and Malaysia doctors perform 20 such surgeries in a month for patients from around the world , where its affordable when compared to US and Europe.
