Knowing the before and after of a surgery or treatment performed by the IM GENDER team is important so as to have a clear idea of the results.
Results of gender reassignment surgery
PHYSICAL OUTCOMES OF SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY
The results of gender reassignment surgery vary depending on the specific procedure. Typically, the following goals are achieved:
- Body alignment with gender identity: The surgery aims to create physical characteristics that match the patient’s gender identity. To achieve this, our surgeons perform various procedures such as vaginoplasties, phalloplasties, metoidioplasties, mastectomies, among many others.
- Sexual functionality: Beyond aesthetic aspects, special care is taken to preserve or enhance the ability to experience erotic sensations and maintain satisfying sexual relationships.
- Natural results: Our team always strives to achieve natural-looking results that are as close as possible to those of a cisgender man or woman.
PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT
Gender affirming surgery extends beyond physical changes. Here are some of the main benefits:
- Reduction of gender dysphoria: Many of our patients experience a decrease in gender dysphoria, leading to an overall improvement in their quality of life.
- Increased self-esteem: Seeing their gender identity reflected in their physical appearance often leads to increased self-esteem and greater self-confidence.
- Improvements in mental health: Several studies have shown that people who undergo gender reassignment surgery tend to show improvements in their overall psychological well-being.
POST-SURGERY FOLLOW-UP
After sex reassignment surgery, it’s important to consider long-term care. While immediate results may be satisfactory, the body will continue to change over time. Therefore, we recommend regular follow-ups with the IM GENDER team to ensure everything evolves appropriately.
