Will insurance cover vaginoplasty?
Many insurance plans cover gender affirming surgeries. However, they often require letters of recommendation from the patient’s mental health professional.
Our office can assist with insurance verification and navigating coverage details to make the process easier for patients.
Is vaginoplasty a painful procedure?
A small epidural catheter will be placed in your back before surgery to numb the area. Post-surgery, discomfort is managed through pain control plans and medication. While some soreness is normal, following Dr. Ramineni’s instructions helps minimize discomfort and promotes healing.
Discuss your pain management options at your personalized consultation.
Will I need to undergo follow-up procedures?
In rare cases, some patients may require revisions or follow-up treatments to optimize functional and aesthetic results. For example, they may desire a change in vaginal depth after the recovery process.
Your full treatment plan and recommended appointment schedule will be discussed in more detail at your first appointment.
