    our feminization services

    At our gender reassignment clinic, we offer a wide variety of feminization surgeries, like vaginoplasty, facial feminization, breast augmentation, body feminization surgeries and other gender affirmation surgeries that cater to all needs and preferences.

    • Vaginoplasty: Vaginoplasty is a gender reassignment surgery that transforms male genitals into female genitals. At IM GENDER, we specialise in the penile inversion technique, colovaginoplasty, and penile inversion vaginoplasty with graft.
    • MTF orchiectomy: MTF orchiectomy involves the removal of the testicles, which drastically reduces the production of testosterone and consequently facilitates the process of feminization.
    • Facial feminization surgery (FFS):Is a set of surgical and non-surgical techniques used to modify masculine facial features to achieve a more feminine appearance. At our gender reassignment clinic, we offer a variety of procedures, including reduction of the Adam’s apple, thyroplasty, jaw and chin feminization surgery, nose feminisation surgery, cheek augmentation…
    • Breast augmentation: This plastic surgery is a significant operation within the set of feminization surgeries, as it helps create a more pronounced feminine silhouette. Our gender surgery-specialised plastic surgeons offer a wide variety of implant options and surgical techniques to achieve natural and attractive results.
    • Body feminization surgeries: In addition to the specific surgeries mentioned above, at IM GENDER we also offer body feminisation surgeries to help you achieve the feminine look you desire. These surgeries may include buttock augmentation, calf augmentation, high definition liposuction, and abdominoplasty.
    • Voice surgery: Voice surgery, also known as glottoplasty, is a procedure that adjusts the larynx to produce a higher and more feminine tone of voice. This procedure can be especially useful for people who have not experienced significant changes in their voice with hormone therapy.
    • Aesthetic medicine: At IM GENDER, we also offer a wide variety of aesthetic medicine treatments to enhance the appearance of our patients. These treatments may include facial bioremodelling, facial rejuvenation, body treatments, and other non-surgical procedures to achieve a more feminine and natural look.

    At IM GENDER, we understand that feminization surgery is an important step in the transition process for many transgender women. Throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to postoperative follow-up, our team will guide you every step of the way.

    We also offer a variety of complementary feminization services and treatments that can further enhance the results of surgery. These include hormone therapy, laser hair removal, psychological counselling, and emotional support. 

    How to prepare for feminization surgery

    It is important to follow the surgeon’s instructions for preparing for surgery, which may include adjustments to the diet and medications to avoid. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption is also recommended.

    Having a strong emotional support system and being in good health before surgery is important. That’s why the doctor will review your medical history and will recommend you to get some blood tests before the surgery. He will explain to you also the details of the procedures, risks and postoperative cares.

    Postoperative care

    After feminization surgery, it is common to experience pain and swelling. Therefore, it is important to carefully follow the plastic surgeon’s instructions for wound care and medication administration. It is also recommended to avoid intense exercise and sexual activity for a certain period of time.
    The recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient, but generally, a few weeks of rest is recommended. In general, the recovery time can range from weeks to several months. If you experience complications, do not hesitate to contact us.

    Results

    Feminization surgery can have highly satisfactory results, improving one’s appearance and self-confidence. The results may vary depending on the type of surgery performed and each patient’s specific needs, but the goal is generally to achieve a more feminine appearance in facial and body structure.

    Vaginoplasty may also allow patients to experience a more comfortable and satisfying sexual life. The final results of the surgery may take several months to fully manifest, as the body needs time to heal and adjust to the changes made.

    Risks

    At IM GENDER, we follow strict safety protocols to minimise the risks associated with feminization surgery. However, as with any surgery, there are still risks such as:

    • Bleeding.
    • Infection.
    • Scarring.
    • Fluid build-up, called seroma also.
    • Complications related to anaesthesia.

    Choosing an experienced surgeon and carefully following pre and postoperative care instructions can help reduce these risks. It’s important to discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor during the consultation process.
