Requirements
For female-to-male or male-to-female gender reassignment, the following medical as well as legal requirements are necessary at Klinik Sanssouci:
- You should have undergone opposite-sex hormone treatment for at least six to eight months.
- We also need two expert opinions from you that confirm your transsexuality (transidentity). These can be, for example, the expert opinions that you obtained as part of your change of first name and civil status.
Of course, we will be happy to advise you in a personal preliminary consultation about the exact procedure of the operation and answer your questions. You can make an appointment with us, please use our contact form.
