Results of gender reassignment surgery

The results of gender reassignment surgery vary depending on the specific procedure. Typically, the following goals are achieved:

• Body alignment with gender identity: The surgery aims to create physical characteristics that match the patient’s gender identity. To achieve this, our surgeons perform various procedures such as vaginoplasties, phalloplasties, metoidioplasties, mastectomies, among many others.
• Sexual functionality: Beyond aesthetic aspects, special care is taken to preserve or enhance the ability to experience erotic sensations and maintain satisfying sexual relationships.
• Natural results: Our team always strives to achieve natural-looking results that are as close as possible to those of a cisgender man or woman.

Gender affirming surgery extends beyond physical changes. Here are some of the main benefits:

• Reduction of gender dysphoria: Many of our patients experience a decrease in gender dysphoria, leading to an overall improvement in their quality of life.
• Increased self-esteem: Seeing their gender identity reflected in their physical appearance often leads to increased self-esteem and greater self-confidence.
• Improvements in mental health: Several studies have shown that people who undergo gender reassignment surgery tend to show improvements in their overall psychological well-being.

After sex reassignment surgery, it’s important to consider long-term care. While immediate results may be satisfactory, the body will continue to change over time. Therefore, we recommend regular follow-ups with the IM GENDER team to ensure everything evolves appropriately.
