Transgendered Cosmetic Surgery
Transgendered cosmetic surgery is a focused division of the general
plastic surgery
industry. Transgendered and transsexual patients are some of the most active
cosmetic surgery
consumers, with people seeking general surgical enhancements, as well as specific transgendered procedures directly aimed at making their transformation journey easier and more convincing. While not every transsexual patient requires a specialist for every procedure, seeking care from a surgeon who caters to the needs of the transgendered community will often provide the most satisfying results.
Transgendered Cosmetic Surgery /
Female to Male
Female to male transgendered patients must overcome their natural feminine attributes in order to convince others (and sometimes themselves) of their inner masculine identity. This involves considerable surface and internal surgery, including any or all of the following operations:* Facial masculinization surgery to optimize the male characteristics of the face and head.
* Breast reduction
or double
mastectomy
to remove the breast tissues, externally or completely. * Hysterectomy to remove the female reproductive organs internally. * Complete gender reassignment surgery including phalloplasty or metoidioplasty to create a functional penis.
Transgendered Cosmetic Surgery /
Male to Female
Male to female transgendered patients must also go through considerable changes in order to realize their dreams of becoming more feminine. The most common surgical practices used to accomplish their body image goals include:* Facial feminization surgery will contour the facial features to be more convincingly female.
* Breast augmentation,
most often using prosthetic
breast implants,
is the most popular method of creating a womanly chest profile.
* Buttocks enhancement
and various
body sculpting
procedures can create a more curvaceous figure. * Final sex change operations will remove the testicles and use
vaginoplasty
techniques to create a vagina out of the inverted penis tissue or scrotum skin.
Transgendered Plastic Surgery Advice
Apart from the obvious sex change operation itself, there are obviously a huge diversity of possible enhancement techniques which can be accomplished surgically and non-surgically. Most patients begin their transformation using surface treatments and slowly get more serious about permanent change as time passes. Eventually serious transgendered patients will almost always seek surgical resolution of many of the their gender related concerns, with some even going all the way towards actually becoming the alternative gender in mind and body. To learn more about the many plastic and cosmetic surgery methods which can help you to find your ideal body type and gender identity, consult with a caring and understanding specialist in transgendered issues.
