Can vaginoplasty be undone?
Yes. Detransitioners report that the cavity created by vaginoplasty can be closed, grafts can be removed, and the original anatomy can be reconstructed. One woman who had her phalloplasty reversed explains, “She said she can re-open the area and reverse the urethral lengthening, and come together with a plastic surgeon to remove the phallus on my belly area” – ThatGirlChyna source [citation:b2ccac51-33e9-4266-8fec-53444f62a3ae]. Others describe surgeons who specialize in repairing female-genital-mutilation injuries adapting those same techniques to rebuild the clitoris and vaginal opening.

What will remain and what is gone?
The clitoris is still present under the skin used for the neovagina: “your clitorus still exist” – AdultHM source [citation:ecfb2efc-3305-4a3e-b427-5d432a5f2e57]. Any scrotal or penile tissue that was removed or used for grafts cannot be replaced, but the cavity itself can be closed and the external genitalia reshaped.

Functional and sensory consequences after reversal
People who have closed the cavity report chronic infection, odor, and urinary spraying until the area is fully healed. Sexual sensation is often diminished or absent: “sex with the neovagina feels unpleasurable. It feels like stinging in the pocket” – CoraleeRozenbottel source [citation:317e6581-e70a-4bf7-9ed0-3566ad9b8f67]. Reversal does not guarantee full return of sexual feeling, but it removes the daily maintenance (dilation, cleaning) and the constant reminder of the unwanted cavity.

Surgeons and hospitals
Detransitioners have pursued reversal with the original surgical team or with specialists who treat genital injuries. One woman recommends “doctor Miroslav Djordjevic in Serbia, Belgrade” – DianaMarsema source [citation:4a288e65-3718-420c-9015-130ddc0b3c72] – noting that he focuses on restoring function and sensitivity rather than cosmetics. Others have returned to Massachusetts General Hospital or sought surgeons who repair female genital mutilation.

Mental-health support
Detransitioners emphasize therapy that focuses on acceptance of the birth body. Mindfulness, EMDR for trauma, and support groups of other detransitioners are repeatedly mentioned: “Learn to accept your birth sex… Look into a mindfulness practitioner” – DianaMarsema source [citation:4a288e65-3718-420c-9015-130ddc0b3c72]. Yoga and gentle movement are also used to reconnect with the body after surgical trauma.

Empowering takeaway
Reversal is possible, but it is a second major surgery with its own risks and permanent changes. The most helpful first step is to speak openly with a surgeon who has experience in genital reconstruction and to build a mental-health team that understands detransition. You are not alone, and many people have walked this path and found peace through non-medical support, honest medical consultation, and gradual acceptance of their bodies as they are today.
