Introduction to Transgender Surgery
Understanding Transgender Surgery
Transgender surgery includes a variety of procedures designed to support gender transition. These surgeries are important for those who experience gender dysphoria, providing relief and fostering a sense of authenticity. Gender-affirming procedures are not just about physical transformation; they play a critical role in the mental and emotional health of transgender individuals.
Facial Feminisation Surgery
FFS provides dramatic changes to the male face which enables Male to Female Transgender patients to fully live in the female role with confidence.
Brow lift Surgery
This procedure will correct the dropping of the eyebrows and improve the forehead to achieve a feminine and youthful appearance.
Chin contouring : Augmentation / reduction
Chin Shaping Surgery is used to reduce the typical male chin which is large.
The goal is to provide a suitable projection of the chin, as well as the correct height of the chin which is in balance with the other facial features, while also creating more feminine proportions.
Forehead contouring
The male forehead has prominent brow ridges and frontal bossing, with a relatively flat upper forehead. The aim of brow contouring surgery is to reduce the frontal, brow bossing and shape the forehead to give a more feminine smooth, gently curved forehead with the eyebrows above the supra-orbital ridges or bony rim of the socket.
This procedure is always combined with hairline lowering and brow lift surgery.
Jaw contouring
Muscle relaxing injections can be used to reduce large masseter muscles, which cause a square jaw appearance.
Lip enhancement
Fuller feminine upper and lower lips to feminize the lips in a male to female transgender patient. Lip enhancement can be performed using dermal fillers.
Adam’s apple reduction: thyroid reduction
This procedure will reduce the prominence, or reshaping of the thyroid cartilage or Adam’s apple.
Rhinoplasty
The rhinoplasty nose job in male to female transgender patients aims to soften and refine the nose to give a more feminine appearance.
Upper lip lift
To lift the lip, we remove some tissue just below the nose.
Absolutely impeccable work. I have only words of praise for Dr. Hamza and his team. This was life changing for me. From the moment I opened my eyes after surgery I was instantly amazed with the results.
Body Feminisation Surgery
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is a frequent part of gender body feminisation surgery. A breast implant is placed inside the breast to not only increase the size of the breasts but also improve the shape of breasts.
Buttock enhancement
In male-to-female transgender surgery, the buttock and hip remodeling is a very important procedure.
There are two basic procedures for buttock enhancement:
- Gluteal buttock implants
- Fat grafting (Brazilian butt lift) can achieve a more complete body contouring
Body contouring/liposuction
This procedure will reallocate the fat from the unwanted areas to the needed areas to give a nice and feminine body contour.
Benefits of Transgender Surgery
Transgender surgery offers numerous benefits, both physical and psychological. By aligning the body with gender identity, these procedures can significantly reduce feelings of gender dysphoria. Patients often report an improved sense of self and overall happiness following surgery.
