Transgender Body Contouring Procedure
Wanting a more feminine or masculine body after gender affirmation surgery? You have completed several steps along your journey to feel whole and be you, but there are some areas that you feel could use some refinement. Dr. Washington is highly skilled in body contouring, especially for transgender patients, to refine your body to a more feminine or masculine silhouette.
What is Transgender Body Contouring?
A body contouring procedure consists of reshaping the body’s contours by using a combination of fat grafting and liposuction to achieve your desired results. This is not a weight loss procedure, but it can further optimize your feminine or masculine appearance if you are close to your ideal weight. For transgender women, liposuction is used to sculpt your body and the lipofat suctioned can be used to graft in key areas (commonly hips and buttock), making you curvier and more feminine in appearance overall. For transgender men, further masculinization of your frame is achieved through liposuction sculpting, most commonly around your abdomen, love handles, thighs, hips, and buttocks.
What is the goal of transgender body contouring?
The goal is to feel complete – to see the refined you reflect your inner beauty – because you deserve it.
Dr. Washington’s goal for you is to help give you a natural appearance that will give you a commanding sense of confidence.
Is transgender body contouring right for you?
The process of gender affirmation surgery is both long and undoubtedly costly. To come so far and still look in the mirror to see bits and pieces of your old self is unsettling and/or frustrating. If you are seeking to further feminize or masculinize your image, then body contouring is right for you.
What should you expect after transgender body contouring?
Recovery varies depending on which areas you wish to target. After most body contouring procedures, it is expected that you wear compression garments for at least 3 months while your body is healing. If fat grafting is involved, you want to avoid pressure in those areas for at least two weeks. You can resume daily activities 1-2 weeks after surgery and begin exercising 4-6 weeks post-op.
