Gender Affirmation Surgery (Genital Surgery)

Gender Affirmation Genital Surgery is a set of advanced surgical procedures that align the genital anatomy with an individual's gender identity. These surgeries are a crucial step for many transgender and non-binary individuals in their gender transition journey.

At Medixir Clinic, we offer comprehensive genital surgery options for both transfeminine and transmasculine individuals, performed by highly experienced surgeons specialized in gender-affirming care. Every case is approached with the utmost sensitivity, safety, and respect.

For transgender women (MTF), the most common genital procedure is vaginoplasty, where the existing genital tissue is used to create a functional and aesthetically natural-looking vagina. This procedure can include labiaplasty and clitoroplasty for complete reconstruction.

For transgender men (FTM), genital surgeries may include metoidioplasty or phalloplasty. Metoidioplasty uses hormone-enlarged tissue to create a neophallus, while phalloplasty involves constructing a penis using grafted tissue, often from the forearm or thigh.

Additional procedures such as urethral lengthening, scrotoplasty (creation of a scrotum), and testicular implants may also be part of the surgical plan, depending on patient goals and preferences.

These surgeries are performed under general anesthesia and often require a hospital stay. Recovery may take several weeks to months, with the most critical healing occurring in the first 6–8 weeks post-op.

Before undergoing genital surgery, patients are required to meet certain criteria established by WPATH, including mental health evaluations and a consistent history of living in their affirmed gender. Our clinic assists patients throughout this preparation process.

The benefits of genital affirmation surgery go beyond physical transformation—it significantly reduces gender dysphoria, enhances self-confidence, and contributes to better emotional and social well-being.

Patients are provided with detailed pre- and post-operative guidance, and we prioritize long-term follow-up care to monitor healing, functionality, and overall satisfaction with the results.

At Medixir Clinic, we are proud to support our patients with compassionate, professional care as they take this important step in their gender affirmation journey. Our goal is to help every patient feel at home in their own body.
