Finding a surgeon willing to try
Several detrans women report that reversal is possible, but it usually starts with the surgeon who did the original operation. “I spoke with her 2 months ago and she said she can re-open the area and reverse the urethral lengthening, and come together with a plastic surgeon to remove the phallus on my belly area … she can do it.” – ThatGirlChyna source [citation:b2ccac51-33e9-4266-8fec-53444f62a3ae]. If your own surgeon refuses, the name that comes up most often for complex genital reconstruction is Dr. Miroslav Djordjevic in Belgrade, Serbia; other specialists who repair female genital mutilation have also been suggested for clitoral work.
What anatomy is still there to work with
The clitoris and the original vaginal canal are usually still present, simply buried or repositioned. “It’s actually not a penis, it’s skin covering your clitoris and your clitorus still exist. People have gotten reversals and often times the vagina is still there.” – AdultHM source [citation:ecfb2efc-3305-4a3e-b427-5d432a5f2e57]. This means the main steps are removing grafted skin, closing or re-shaping the cavity, and bringing the clitoris back to the surface.
What can be done in a reversal operation
- Cavity closure: women who have constant infections or a wide open wound sometimes ask for the space to be sewn shut entirely.
- Urethral reversal: the lengthened urethra can be shortened so you urinate from the original female position again.
- Clitoral / labial reconstruction: surgeons can rebuild a clitoral hood and labia using local tissue or, if needed, a thin inner-thigh or peritoneal flap.
- Graft removal: abdominal or forearm skin used for a phallus can be taken off; the area is repaired with a plastic-surgeon closure.
Long-term function after reversal
Success is measured by comfort, infection control and being able to urinate without spraying. Sexual sensation can improve because the clitoris is no longer buried, but full erotic feeling is not guaranteed; some nerves are always cut during the first operation. Scars are permanent—arm, thigh or lower-belly marks remain where skin was borrowed.
Emotional weight of the decision
Many who pursue reversal describe grief mixed with cautious hope. “I feel so bad for myself … 15 months ago I thought this surgery would be the closing step … It just was the beginning of a new kind of pain.” – Whatnowbabe source [citation:6b8a47f5-c11a-4967-a15b-04f4eb0b20f8]. Going into reversal, people stress the need for realistic expectations: anatomy can be made cleaner and more comfortable, but it will not be exactly as before.
Bottom line
Reversal is technically doable, especially if you still have your original clitoris and vaginal canal. Start by asking the surgeon who performed the first procedure; if that fails, seek a urologist or reconstructive team experienced in female genital restoration. The goals are infection-free healing, normal urination, and as much preserved sensation as possible—full cosmetic or sexual “undo” is unlikely, but many find the partial restoration worth the further surgery.
