Identifying policies, financial support and professional regulations for medically necessary hair removal
Año de publicación: 2018
Hair removal is a necessary pre-surgical procedure prior
to performing genital gender-affirming surgeries such as
vaginoplasty and phalloplasty. For example, a recent
literature review on the topic notes that the use of hairbearing skin in gender-affirming surgical procedures can
result in post-operative intra-vaginal and intra-urethral
hair growth, which can lead to complications and lower
satisfaction with the surgery.
