Individuals who wish to have an outward-appearing vagina without the desire for penetrative intercourse can elect to have a valvuloplasty or zero-depth vaginoplasty. For this procedure, existing genital tissue is used to create a clitoris, labia majora, and labia minora. If you would prefer, we can create a small, minimal depth vaginal canal during this procedure.

Many people choose zero depth bottom surgery because it typically requires less maintenance than a standard vaginoplasty for durable, long-term results. Decide if this type of MTF genital surgery is the right choice for you and your goals with the following information.
