The length of stay in Thailand for sex reassignment surgery (SRS), also called gender confirmation surgery, depends on several factors such as the type of surgery, recovery time, and any follow-up procedures or consultations. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Pre-surgery consultation and preparation: You’ll likely need to be in Thailand for 2–3 days before surgery to undergo consultations, pre-surgery tests, and evaluations.
  2. Surgery and initial recovery: The surgery itself typically takes a few hours, followed by a hospital stay of about 5–7 days. Surgeons will closely monitor you during this time to ensure there are no complications.
  3. Post-surgery recovery: After being discharged from the hospital, you’ll need to stay in Thailand for about 2–3 weeks for follow-up visits, healing, and to monitor progress. Recovery advice, wound care, and dilations (for transfeminine surgeries) will also be provided during this period.

Total time: 4–6 weeks

It’s important to consult your surgeon beforehand to get a personalized timeline based on your health, the type of surgery, and any additional procedures you might need. Planning extra time for rest and ensuring you have support during the process is also highly recommended.
