About Sex Reassignment Surgery at Kayakriti

Gender reassignment treatment usually combines counselling, hormone therapy, and surgery, and is the most effective intervention for individuals with gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is the experience of incongruence between biological sex and gender identity. It is not a mental illness, although outdated classifications described it that way. Treatment is individual and proceeds at the patient's pace.

At Kayakriti we follow internationally recognised standards of care. Patients are usually referred from or in parallel with mental health and endocrinology services. Hormone therapy alone is sufficient for some, while others choose surgical steps. We do not push patients towards surgery and we do not perform irreversible procedures without appropriate referrals and time for considered decision making.

Female-to-male gender reassignment includes chest reconstruction (mastectomy with male contour), hysterectomy and oophorectomy through gynaecology colleagues, phalloplasty or metoidioplasty, and scrotal reconstruction. Body and facial masculinisation procedures complement the genital surgeries. The full pathway typically spans 12 to 24 months across multiple operations, planned in stages with you.

Male-to-female gender reassignment includes orchiectomy and vaginoplasty, often using the penile inversion technique, breast augmentation, and feminising facial procedures. Hormone therapy plays a central role before, during, and after surgery. Sex change surgery cost in India is significantly lower than in many Western countries while maintaining international standards of safety and outcome.

Privacy is strict throughout. Notes are kept separately, photographs are stored on encrypted systems, and consultation happens in a private clinical setting. We work with patients from across India and abroad, often starting with secure video consultation. Transgender surgery in Lucknow at our centre is performed by a single experienced team across the entire surgical pathway.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does the full pathway take?
Most patients complete their surgical pathway over 12 to 24 months across multiple staged operations. Hormone therapy continues throughout. The exact timeline depends on which procedures are chosen, recovery between stages, and personal circumstances. Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, plans each stage with you so you have realistic expectations from the start.
Do I need referrals before surgery?
Yes. We follow internationally recognised standards of care, which usually require letters from mental health professionals and endocrinologists before irreversible surgery. This protects patients from regret and ensures genuine readiness. We can advise on referral pathways during your initial consultation in Lucknow if you have not yet started this process.
What does sex reassignment surgery cost in India?
Cost varies significantly depending on the procedures chosen and the staging plan. Total cost in India is meaningfully lower than in many Western countries while maintaining international standards. After consultation we share a written, stage-by-stage estimate covering surgery, theatre, anaesthesia, hospital stay, and follow-up reviews. There are no hidden additions.
Is the surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by an experienced team in a properly equipped facility. All gender confirmation surgery carries surgical risk, with specific risks varying by procedure. We discuss each in detail at consultation, work alongside anaesthesia and nursing teams trained for complex cases, and follow internationally recognised protocols. Most patients have uncomplicated recoveries.
How is privacy protected?
Notes for transgender surgery are stored separately with restricted access. Photographs are kept on encrypted systems. Consultations happen privately and our reception process is discreet. We do not contact patients about cosmetic services unless asked. Patients from other cities can begin with secure video consultation before any in-person visit.
