How long do I need to be on hormone therapy before vaginoplasty?

The duration of hormone therapy before vaginoplasty can vary depending on several factors, such as your overall health and the recommendations of your healthcare provider. In general, hormone therapy is typically recommended for a minimum of one year before considering vaginoplasty. This duration allows for the development of the desired changes in the genital area, including tissue growth and improved elasticity. However, it’s important to note that each individual is unique, and your plastic surgeon will assess your specific case and provide personalized guidance on the appropriate duration of hormone therapy for you. Open and honest communication with your healthcare provider is crucial to ensure the best outcomes and to address any concerns you may have throughout the process.
