Phalloplasty is a common surgical choice for transgender or non-binary people who are interested in gender confirmation surgery for the construction or reconstruction of penises. The main goal of phalloplasty surgery is to construct a cosmetically appealing penis of sufficient size to feel sensations and release urine from a standing position. Moreover, this surgery is also useful in cases of trauma, cancer, or congenital defects; it is a complicated procedure, and sometimes it needs more than one surgery. Currently, in the gold standard phalloplasty procedure, which is known as radial forearm free-flap (RFF) phalloplasty, surgeons use skin from your forearm to recreate the shaft of the penis.  What Happens During Phalloplasty? During surgery, doctors remove a flap of skin from the donor area of your body, and surgeons might remove the flap entirely or leave it partially attached. This tissue is used to make the urethra and shaft of the penis, and a tube-within-a-tube structure is used; basically, the larger tube is used to roll up around the inner tube. There is no single operation or specific timeline for this procedure. Many people do not do all of them, and some people do all of them together, and some may spend many years to complete this process. The whole procedure is done by three different specialist surgeons, such as a gynecologist, urologist, and plastic surgeon.  Techniques Of Phalloplasty Radial Forearm Free-Flap Phalloplasty(RFF or RFFF) In genital reconstruction, this phalloplasty is a recent evolution for gender confirmation surgery. In a free flap procedure, the tissue is removed from the forearm with its blood vessels and nerves intact. These blood vessels and nerves are reattached with microsurgical precision, and this whole process allows blood to flow naturally in the new phallus. This procedure is more effective than other techniques because it provides more sensitivity and good aesthetic results.  Anterior Lateral Thigh Pedicled Flap Phalloplasty(ALT) In a pedicled flap procedure, the tissue is transferred with its blood vessels and nerves, and the urethra can be constructed for standing urination. People who have undergone this procedure are generally satisfied, and in this procedure, a skin graft can leave scars, but in more discreet places. Abdominal Phalloplasty This surgery is also called supra pubic phalloplasty, and it is a better choice for trans men who do not require vaginectomy or a restricted urethra. This technique does not need microsurgery, so it is less expensive than other techniques. The urination procedure continues to require a seated position because the urethra will not go through the tip of the penis. Conclusion A phalloplasty is the surgery to construct or reconstruct the penis; basically, this procedure is for transgender and non-binary people who require gender confirmation surgery. In this surgery, the important work is to create a cosmetically appealing penis that can be capable of feeling sensations and releasing urine from a standing position. Phalloplasty surgery is a complex procedure which may require more than one surgery. A team of three different specialist surgeons, such as a gynecologist, urologist and plastic surgeon take part to complete phalloplasty. If you are also looking for gender confirmation surgery, then you can visit VJ’s Cosmetic Surgery and Hair Transplantation Centre. Here, you can consult with Dr. C. Vijay Kumar, who has 40 years of experience and can provide the best treatments regarding gender confirmation surgery. FAQs Can I urinate standing after phalloplastic surgery? Yes, phalloplasty is to build a cosmetically appealing penis that can be capable of urinating from a standing position. How many surgeries does the process take? Phalloplasty surgery is not done in a single surgery; it may require multiple surgeries and may take several months or years to complete the whole process.

Vaginoplasty is a medical procedure to create or repair a vagina; it is a treatment to resolve various medical issues, including vaginal injuries. You can do vaginoplasty for both functional and cosmetic reasons, functions such as sexual intercourse and urinary incontinence and cosmetic reasons may include changing the appearance and structure of the gentle part. This surgery is performed for transgender or non-binary people who are interested in gender confirmation surgery. This is the process in which surgeons construct a viganal cavity, and the goal of this process is to create a vagina out of penile tissue. Penile Inversion Procedure  The most common procedure is penile inversion, in which penile skin is used to create the vaginal lining, the labia majora are constructed using scrotal skin and the sensitive skin at the tip of the penis is used to build the clitoris. Sometimes, to create the necessary depth of the vagina, penile skin is not enough; in this situation, surgeons can take skin grafts from the upper hip, lower abdomen and inner thigh. Among plastic surgeons, the penile inversion vaginoplasty technique is considered the gold standard genital reconstruction technique. Colon Procedure In this technique, the lining of the colon is used instead of penile skin; in this procedure, the positive point is that the tissue is self-lubricating. The vagina made from penile skin is dependent on artificial lubricants. However, the colon procedure is used only in cases where penile inversion fails.  What Does Vaginoplasty Treat? A vaginal delivery may loosen and stretch your vaginal muscles, and your vagina may lose its tightness with age. This can cause uncomfortable situations and may affect sexual function.  2. Medical condition: Some people during cancer treatment underwent radiation to treat cancer. After the cancer treatment, they may need vaginal reconstruction. A vaginoplasty surgery can also help to reshape your vagina if your health provider removes it during cancer treatment.  Risk And Complications There are always risks associated with surgery, but vaginoplasty complications are rare, and the risk of infections can be cleared with antibiotics. After surgery, some people recover in the hospital within five to six days, while others go home sooner. Here are some immediate post-surgical risks, including: Conclusion Vaginoplasty is done by so many people for different reasons, but most of the time this surgery is done to improve confidence and sexual function. The common reason is to repair injury or to fix a congenital anomaly, and there are different methods and procedures the surgeons may use to perform this surgery.

Transgender people follow different paths to realize their gender expression and identity. Some do nothing and keep their gender identity private. Some seek a social transition, telling others about their identity without medical interference. But mostly pursue hormone replacement therapy as well as various degrees of surgeries that include facial feminization surgery and chest reconstruction. They also decided to go for bottom surgery or gender confirmation surgery- the right choice for them.  Bottom surgery refers to the procedure that reconstructs the natal genital tissue, which allows them to experience gender congruence. The cost of the surgery depends on the procedure, preparations for surgery, and the time needed for recovery, which often combine to form a barrier to medically gender affirming surgery. This blog gives you an estimate of the cost of bottom surgery as well as insurance coverage.  The factors that influence the cost of bottom surgery are:-   The cost varies from procedure to procedure. The following are the factors that influence the cost of bottom surgery: Procedure Type  Many patients go for the bottom surgery in multiple steps through various procedures, with their own individual costs. For example, many patients are interested in undergoing the various procedures such as construction of the scrotum, mons resection or glansplasty. The complexity of surgical technique may also increase the cost. Some patients are interested in gaining the ability to urinate out of the tip of the penis. To achieve that goal, surgeons perform urethral lengthening, which will add extra cost to surgery.  Pre-Operative Costs  One requirement for the procedure of bottom surgery, like vaginoplasty, is that the patient may first undergo the process of hair removal in the area that will be used as hair grafts. At this time, electrolysis and laser hair removal are not offered. Some health insurance plans with gender affirming surgery may cover the cost of hair removal. Losing body fat to qualify for the surgery may involve additional costs.  Location And Travel Most of the gender non-conforming community does not live near clinics that provide the facilities for gender affirming surgery from certified surgeons. Due to this reason, many patients have to travel to access medical care. Travel is another expense that you have to consider while calculating the cost of bottom surgery. You may stay in the area for recovery and to visit your regular appointments.  Additional Expense  Beyond the cost of surgery, there are some additional expenses that include anesthesia, hospital stay and post-operative care. Costs, including hospital stays, post-operative supplies in the hospitals and therapy, will be included in quotes for the surgery. These costs cover the needs such as dilator kits and occupational therapy to recover the movement.  Insurance Coverage  Many insurance providers cover the cost of bottom surgery. The important documentation that patients have to submit to get insurance coverage is support letters from mental health professionals. Some providers may ask for two: one from mental health professionals and the other from any health care provider or endocrinologist. Your primary insurance care provider also needs to provide a referral to a surgeon. Each plan has unique terms and conditions, and it’s best to reach your insurer for information.   Conclusion  When planning for the bottom surgery, cost is the biggest factor to consider. By understanding the insurance coverage, financial options and surgical cost, the process will be less daunting. For the bottom surgery at affordable prices, consult with the team at Dr Vijay’s Cosmetic Surgery and Hair Transplantation Centre.

How To Control Hair Fall In Summer? Read On To Discover The Best Ways

Loading

During the summer period of sunshine, vacations, and a lot of outdoor activities, it can be a problem for your hair because it will be exposed to sunlight for long hours. Increased heat, humidity, sweat, and continuous exposure to the sun can weaken hair roots and affect scalp health, leading to excessive hair fall. Losing a lot of hair in summer indicates that your hair needs extra care. When you follow the right hair routine and healthy lifestyle habits, the chances of hair loss get reduced gradually. This blog highlights the best ways to protect your hair during the summer season. Wash your scalp frequently. Wash your hair regularly to remove sweat, unwanted oil and dirt from your hair strands. When washing your hair, choose a shampoo that suits your hair and maintain a clean scalp. Massage shampoo directly onto your scalp with fingertips. Wash your hair at least twice a week to reduce dryness of your hair. Protect your hair from sun damage.  The ultraviolet rays of the sun break down the hair proteins, thinning the hair. To prevent further damage, wear a wide-brimmed cap, a scarf and use hair products with protection when spending long hours outdoors. When drying your hair in summer, avoid blowers and hair strengtheners as they cause more hair damage. During summer, the sun acts like a chemical treatment, breaking the structural integrity of your hair and causing premature shedding. Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day keeps your scalp hydrated and helps in overall hair growth during the hot season. Lack of water causes brittleness of your hair, as high summer temperatures and sweat stress the scalp, and internal nourishment becomes critical to prevent premature hair thinning. A good diet strengthens the hair matrix by providing amino acids, which are the building blocks for keratin, the protein that provides the structural strength of hair. Avoid tight hairstyles  Avoiding tight hairstyles prevents summer hair fall by reducing mechanical stress on the roots and eliminating sweat and bacteria trapped. Excessive temperatures make the scalp more exposed, and pulling your hair tightly leads to immediate long-term shedding. Constant hair pulling causes a medical condition called traction alopecia, where hair follicles become inflamed and quickly stop growing hair. Summer heat and humidity usually soften the skin around your poles, making it easy for tight hairbands to physically pull the root out of its socket. If you avoid tight hairstyles, it reduces scalp sweat and heat trapping, allowing your heat to escape from the head.  Conclusion  Summer weather can bring extra stress on your hair, but practising a healthy hair routine can help reduce hair fall and keep your hair looking good at all times. Maintaining a clean scalp, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, protecting your scalp from direct sun, and avoiding tight hairstyles are the best and simplest practices to support healthy hair. During the summer period, people indulge in outdoor activities and are exposed to the sun, which affects hair roots, leading to brittleness and breakage of hair. To avoid hair fall, you need to wash your scalp regularly to remove all unwanted waste which disturbs hair growth. VJ’s Cosmetic Surgery and Hair Transplantation Centre offers hair treatment for hair fall. We provide guidance to both men and women in need of hair restoration, and we are dedicated to providing the best outcomes to our patients. Dr C. Vijay Kumar is our skilled and experienced surgeon in handling cases such as hair loss. He provides medicines for hair restoration and hair transplants to restore the original look of your hair. FAQ’s What is the best food for preventing hair fall?   It is advised to eat eggs if you want to prevent hair fall because they provide the biological foundation your body needs to construct strong hair, containing high-quality protein and zinc.  How can dehydration lead to hair fall? Water is important for transporting nutrients to hair follicles and supporting the cellular functions that contribute to strong, healthy hair growth.

In the search for the beautiful and healthy tuft of hair, you go into habits that may harm your hair and scalp. Those habits include washing hair too often, brushing wet hair, towel drying, applying conditioners to roots and tight hairstyling. The small hair care mistakes will disrupt your gorgeous hair.

But no worries, you can get your hair back to its glory with the help of the right decision-making and the use of natural remedies. Through this blog, you will get to know about the common hair care mistakes and fix them naturally.  Hair Care Mistakes With Their Natural Fixing Process  Overuse Of Chemical-Based Hair Dyes  Using dyes containing ammonia and its by-products and artificial fragrances can affect the quality of hair and irritate your scalp. Ammonia, along with its by-product, opens the hair cuticle and changes its structure internally, causing dehydrating effects and protein loss. So to maintain the quality of your hair and its natural glory, it’s better to use herbal-based products instead of chemical-based dyes. Herbal-based products such as henna and indigo function as deposits of color and cover the white hairs without affecting the scalp and damaging the protective hair cuticle.  Using The Wrong Shampoos  Most of the shampoos contain chemicals and wetting agents that remove the oil from the hair in a vigorous manner. This usually leads to the effect where the scalp compensates for the loss of oil by producing more oil. Instead of using the wrong shampoos, use the cleansers for cleansing your hair and scalp without any hair loss.  Using Products Containing Chemicals  Even the products labelled as natural also contain chemicals that get deposited on the hair shaft and lock the moisture of the hair. While buying the products for your hair, try to buy the products containing henna, shikakai and other natural green ingredients.  Towel Drying And Brushing Wet Hair  Wet hair is the weakest state of the hair. Towel rubbing and wrong brushing may damage your hair and lead to excessive hairfall. Gently dry your hair with the help of a soft cotton cloth and use a broad-tooth comb to detangle your hair. The best technique to detangle the hair is to start from the ends and then go up. The sealing conditioners are the best choice for safe detangling of the hair.  Ignoring The Health Of The Scalp The scalp is the base for the health of hair. Neglecting this area can be responsible for dandruff, clogged hair follicles and impaired growth of hair. For the better health of the scalp, scalp detox is required. The mixture of Reetha, juice, and jaborandi has natural antiseptic properties for the healthy hair follicles.  Conclusion  Instead of using harsh products, using natural products containing ingredients like aloe vera and argan oil is beneficial for hair health and repairing past damage. Natural and consistent care of hair results in shiny and strong hair. Washing the hair two to three times per week may protect the natural oils of your hair. Natural remedies to protect your hair are safe and cheap, which gives you long-lasting results. For better results, you can engage with Dr. C. Vijay Kumar to manage your hair health under the guidance of experts at VJ’s Cosmetic Surgery And Hair Transplantation Surgery Centre with the best services.  FAQ’S Is it okay to wash my hair with hot water or not? Hair wash with hot water may make your hair dry and remove the natural oil from your hair, so it’s recommended to wash hair with lukewarm water.  How can hair breakage be stopped naturally? The hair breakage is due to the damaged hair, but you can manage it by massaging your scalp with plant oils.
