Suporn Watanyusakul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suporn Watanyusakul is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Chonburi Province, Thailand. He is considered by some to be a world leader in surgical procedures for transsexual people, namely facial feminization surgery and sex reassignment surgery male-to-female.

Watanyusakul's form of vaginoplasty has been referred to as the Suporn technique. Dr. Suporn's method is quite different from the typical sexual reassignment surgery because he does not use a penile inversion method. Instead, Suporn constructs the vaginal canal with testicular skin and uses the penile skin for a labia. Dr. Suporn's method generally yields a deeper neovagina than the more standard penile inversion technique ^{[verification needed]}.
