Gender Affirmation Surgery

Gender Affirmation Surgery, also known as gender confirmation surgery or sex reassignment surgery, encompasses a variety of surgical procedures that help individuals align their physical appearance with their gender identity. These surgeries can involve the face, chest, and/or genital areas, depending on the individual’s goals and needs.

At Medixir Clinic, we understand that gender affirmation is a deeply personal journey. Our multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive, compassionate care to ensure each patient receives support before, during, and after surgery. We tailor every treatment plan to the individual's identity, anatomy, and goals.

Gender Affirmation Surgery for transgender women (MTF – male to female) may include procedures such as breast augmentation, facial feminization surgery, and vaginoplasty. For transgender men (FTM – female to male), options may include mastectomy (top surgery), facial masculinization, metoidioplasty, or phalloplasty.

These procedures are performed by experienced surgeons specializing in gender-affirming care. Surgeries are conducted under general anesthesia and require varying recovery times, depending on the specific procedures performed.

Preoperative evaluations, including mental health assessments and medical screenings, are a standard part of the process. We work with patients to ensure they meet the readiness criteria established by WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) standards of care.

Gender affirmation surgeries can significantly improve mental health, self-confidence, and quality of life. Patients often report greater alignment with their body, reduced gender dysphoria, and increased comfort in social, professional, and personal settings.

Recovery times vary: chest surgeries may require 2–4 weeks, while genital surgeries may need up to 6–8 weeks or longer. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to support healing and ensure the best results.

Hormone therapy often accompanies gender affirmation surgery but is not always a requirement. Some individuals choose surgery with or without hormonal treatment based on personal preferences and medical advice.

While the process can be transformative, it’s important to have realistic expectations and to understand that multiple surgeries or revisions may sometimes be necessary. Our team is committed to transparency, education, and ongoing support.

At Medixir Clinic, we take pride in being a trusted partner in our patients’ gender affirmation journeys. We are honored to help individuals live confidently and authentically in bodies that reflect who they truly are.
