Genital feminization surgery

The genital feminization procedures we offer at IM GENDER include:

• • Vaginoplasty: Vaginoplasty, or feminizing genitoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure involving the creation or reconstruction of genitalia using the patient’s own tissues, such as scrotal or penile skin in the case of transgender women. The goal is to create an aesthetic and functional neovagina resembling a biological vagina. At IM GENDER, we specialize in three techniques: penile inversion vaginoplasty, colovaginoplasty, and penile inversion vaginoplasty with grafts.
  • Penectomy: This surgical procedure involves the removal of the penis, allowing for the construction of a neovagina. At IM GENDER, we perform penectomies as part of our comprehensive approach to meet each patient’s individual needs during their gender transition.
  • Labiaplasty: Labiaplasty in transgender women is a gender-affirming surgery aimed at reshaping and enhancing the appearance of the labia majora and minora to achieve a look more consistent with that of cisgender women.
    
  • Clitoroplasty: Trans clitoroplasty involves the creation or reshaping of a functional clitoris using sensitive penile tissue. The glans reconstruction seeks to shape a smaller penile head with characteristics similar to a clitoris.
    
  • Orchiectomy: Orchiectomy in transgender women is a surgical procedure involving the removal of the testicles. This is a key step in genital feminization surgery, as it reduces testosterone production and facilitates hormonal and physical feminization.
    

Genital feminization is a significant step in the transition process for many transgender individuals. Our goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where our patients can access high-quality treatments that help them feel more comfortable and confident in their gender identity.

In addition to genital surgery procedures, IM GENDER also offers a wide range of complementary services and treatments to further enhance results. These include hormonal therapy, emotional support and psychological counseling, laser hair removal, and other aesthetic treatments. Our clinic is a space where individuals can access comprehensive and personalized gender care.

How long does it take to recover from surgery?

Recovery can take several weeks or even months, depending on the type of surgery performed. During this time, intense physical activities and sexual intercourse should be avoided.

Is it possible to have sexual intercourse after genital feminization surgery?

Yes, it is possible to have sexual intercourse after surgery, but it is important to wait until the genital area has fully healed and you have the surgeon’s approval. Depending on the surgery performed, lubricants or dilators may be required to achieve comfortable penetration.
