Transgender genital surgery

At IM GENDER, we offer a range of transgender genital surgeries designed to help individuals achieve the gender identity they desire. Our experienced surgeons use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes.

• • Vaginoplasty: Our vaginoplasty procedures include techniques such as penile inversion vaginoplasty, colovaginoplasty, vaginoplasty with graft, and vaginal aesthetics. Our team has extensive experience in performing these surgeries with the utmost care and precision, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.
  • Vulvoplasty: For individuals who prefer an alternative to vaginoplasty, we also offer vulvoplasty. This surgery provides the same aesthetic and functional benefits as vaginoplasty, but without the creation of a vaginal canal. Our team can work with patients to determine which surgery is the best fit for their individual goals and needs.
  • MTF orchiectomy: MTF orchiectomy involves the removal of the testicles, which drastically reduces the production of testosterone and consequently facilitates the process of feminisation.
  • Phalloplasty: Phalloplasty is a surgical procedure that creates a penis using tissue from the patient’s own body. We also offer post-phalloplasty aesthetic procedures to help patients achieve the appearance they desire.
  • Metoidioplasty: Metoidioplasty is a surgical procedure that involves releasing the clitoris from the surrounding tissue to create a larger phallic structure. This procedure is often performed in conjunction with urethral lengthening.
  • FTM Hysterectomy: FTM hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the uterus and cervix. This procedure is often performed as part of gender confirmation surgery for transgender men.
  • Vaginectomy: Vaginectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing the vagina. This procedure is often performed as part of gender confirmation surgery for transgender men.
  • FTM Testicular Implants: FTM testicular implants are prosthetic testicles that are surgically implanted to create a more masculine appearance. This procedure is often performed as part of sex confirmation surgery for transgender men.

At IM GENDER, we understand that every patient is unique, and we work closely with each individual to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and goals. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing our patients with the highest level of care and attention to ensure the best possible outcomes.

What is transgender genital surgery?

Transgender genital surgery, also known as gender confirmation surgery or sex reassignment surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to help transgender individuals alter their genitals to better align with their gender identity. The goal of this surgery is to alleviate gender dysphoria, which is the distress caused by a mismatch between a person’s gender identity and their assigned sex at birth. The specific procedures involved in transgender genital surgery depend on the individual’s gender identity and desired outcome, but may include vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, and other surgeries to create a more natural and authentic genital appearance.

Who is a good candidate for transgender genital surgery?

A good candidate for transgender genital surgery is someone who has already undergone psychological and medical evaluations and has received a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. They should have a clear understanding of the benefits, risks, and potential complications of the surgery, as well as realistic expectations for the results. Additionally, they should be in good overall health and free of any medical conditions that could increase the risk of complications during or after surgery.

How to choose the right surgeon for genital affirming surgery?

Choosing the right surgeon for genital affirming surgery is a crucial decision that requires careful consideration. At IM GENDER, our team of highly skilled and experienced surgeons specialise in trans genital surgeries. We recommend seeking referrals from other transgender individuals who have undergone similar surgeries and verifying the surgeon’s credentials and experience.

During the consultation process, it is essential to feel comfortable and confident with the surgeon. At IM GENDER, we encourage our patients to schedule a consultation with our surgeons to discuss their goals, expectations, and any questions or concerns they may have. Our team is committed to providing personalised attention and support to each patient throughout the entire process, ensuring that they feel comfortable and confident with their choice of surgeon.

How long does the recovery process take after trans genital surgery?

The recovery process after Gender Confirmation Surgery (GCS) can vary depending on the type of surgery performed and the individual’s unique anatomy. However, most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few weeks to a few months following the procedure. Our team provides comprehensive pre and postoperative care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Are the results of transgender genital surgery natural-looking?

Yes, the results of transgender genital surgery are designed to look and function as naturally as possible. Our highly skilled surgeons use the latest techniques to ensure that the results are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

How long does it take to see the final results of trans operation surgery?

The final results of transgender genital surgery may take several months to become fully visible, as the body needs time to heal and adjust to the changes.

Will I be able to have sexual intercourse after transgender genital surgery?

Yes, sexual intercourse is possible after transgender genital surgery. Our surgeons use techniques that ensure the creation of a functional and aesthetically pleasing genital area. However, it’s important to note that sexual activity should be avoided during the healing process and until cleared by your plastic surgeon.
