At our gender reassignment clinic, we specialise in three different techniques for transgender vaginoplasty, which include penile inversion vaginoplasty, penile inversion vaginoplasty with graft, and colovaginoplasty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">At IM GENDER, we understand that genital affirmation surgery is an important step for many transgender and non-binary individuals in their transition. That&#8217;s why we offer a range of surgical options to help our patients achieve the physical appearance that matches their gender identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">TRANSGENDER VAGINOPLASTY IN MADRID AND BARCELONA<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At IM GENDER we have the <strong>tools and technology<\/strong> to carry out non-binary and transgender vaginoplasty. We also have the most experienced plastic surgeons and experts in genital surgery. <strong>W<\/strong><\/span><strong>e recognise the varied sexual preferences<\/strong> that transgender individuals may embody, which is why we also provide vulvoplasty, an alternative that offers the same aesthetics and sensitivity as vaginoplasty without the formation of a tunnel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We also offer <strong>aftercare and support services<\/strong>, including follow-up appointments, physical therapy and counselling. Our goal is to ensure that you achieve the best results and feel confident with your body.<\/p>\n<h2>Transgender vaginoplasty results<\/h2>\n<p>At IM GENDER, we understand that knowing real cases of transgender vaginoplasty results is crucial before making any decision. In these images, you can see actual MTF vaginoplasty results of patients treated at our clinic.<\/p>\n<h2>TRANSGENDER VAGINOPLASTY SURGERY<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At IM GENDER, we believe that a successful <a href=\"https:\/\/imgender.com\/en\/vaginoplasty-trans\/\">MTF vaginoplasty<\/a> procedure is the result of a personalised and comprehensive approach. Our surgical team works closely with you to develop a customised treatment plan that takes into account your unique needs and goals. From preoperative consultations to postsurgical care, our staff is here to support and guide you throughout your entire transition process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a trans woman seeks genital affirmation surgery or vaginoplasty, the medical team must meticulously plan the operation, taking into account each woman&#8217;s needs, medical history, traits, and personal circumstances. Our team will assess the case by categorising it into one of the three main techniques outlined below to remove the penis and create a functional and aesthetical vagina.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Penile inversion vaginoplasty<\/strong>: This method is employed when the size, thickness, length, and quality of the penis&#8217;s skin allow for the creation of a vaginal canal with adequate width and size for regular sexual intercourse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Colovaginoplasty<\/strong>: This vaginoplasty technique is utilised when the penis is small or has undergone significant circumcision before genital reconstruction. It is also carried out when penile development is limited due to hormonal inhibitors used during prepuberty. In these cases, the penile inversion technique is not advised, as the vaginal depth would be insufficient, preventing the trans woman from having satisfactory intercourse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Penile inversion vaginoplasty with graft<\/strong>: When a trans woman&#8217;s penis does not have the appropriate dimensions for a successful penile inversion but does not require a colovaginoplasty, it is recommended to opt for a vaginoplasty with a skin graft. This approach provides the proper depth and dimensions for a vagina without resorting to the rectosigmoid flap technique.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Preparation before trans and non-binary vaginoplasty<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to undergoing transgender vaginoplasty, it is essential to prepare adequately, as this is just as important as postoperative care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a blood test at least three months before the vaginoplasty procedure is strongly recommended. Furthermore, you should maintain a healthy diet and make sure your bowels are clean. Additionally, it is advised to abstain from alcohol, tobacco, or drug consumption one month before the surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At IM GENDER, we acknowledge the importance of preserving hormonal treatment consistency in trans women. Therefore, oestrogen is not usually ceased prior to the operation. In the case of anti-androgens, like cyproterone, spironolactone, and triptorelin, it has been shown that stopping them is not required. As a result, these medications can be taken up until the procedure. Full discontinuation will take place one or two weeks following the transgender vaginoplasty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consult your doctor, they will explain everything and address any concerns or questions that may arise. Prior to performing the transgender vaginoplasty surgery, the IM GENDER team will assess the suitability of the procedure for each individual, taking into account factors such as overall health, medical history, and exploring all available alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>FAQS ABOUT MTF VAGINOPLASTY SURGERY<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>What is transgender vaginoplasty surgery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transgender vaginoplasty surgery, also known as male to female gender affirmation surgery, is a procedure that aims to create a vagina from the existing genital tissue, helping transgender women align their physical appearance with their gender identity. It has 3 main aims: aesthetics, sensitivity and functionality. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who is a suitable candidate for trans vaginoplasty surgery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A suitable candidate for this <a href=\"https:\/\/imgender.com\/en\/transgender-genital-surgery\/\">transgender genital surgery<\/a> is someone who has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, has completed a period of hormone therapy, and has received approval from mental health professionals. Additionally, they should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand the risks and benefits of the surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How long is the recovery period after transgender vaginoplasty?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recovery period after trans vaginoplasty surgery can vary, but patients typically spend a week or two in the hospital, followed by 4-6 weeks of at-home recovery. It&#8217;s important to follow postoperative period care instructions, including dilation and hygiene practices, to ensure optimal healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is there sensitivity with MTF vaginoplasty?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During transgender and non-binary vaginoplasty, the surgeon aims to preserve as much of the existing genital tissue&#8217;s nerve structure as possible. This approach helps to retain clitoral and surrounding vulval sensation after the surgery. The overall extent of sensitivity may vary from person to person, and it can take time for nerves to heal and sensation to fully develop after surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is MTF vaginoplasty?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is a surgery that is especially intended for those people who suffer from gender dysphoria, that is, those whose sexual identity differs from the sex assigned at birth. MTF vaginoplasty manages to build a vagina from scratch from penile tissues, or even through a colon graft. Thanks to this surgery, transgender women can have the body that improve their quality of life and their emotional well-being.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the result after a MTF vaginoplasty?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Thanks to MTF vaginoplasty, the appearance of a natural vagina is achieved with which you can urinate. Depending on what type of MTF vaginoplasty technique is carried out, sexual penetration will even be possible. However, it is not possible in all cases. The case must be studied personally to choose the most appropriate surgical technique for the patient.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will I be able to have children after undergoing a MTF vaginoplasty?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"If you are going to undergo a MTF vaginoplasty, you can consider the option of storing sperm \u2013 sperm cryopreservation \u2013 before having this surgery, in case you wish to have children.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should I prepare for a MTF vaginoplasty operation?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The surgeon will inform you about how to prepare for the operation before it in detail. In addition, there are important previous steps that will be carried out before MTF vaginoplasty, such as performing medical tests and check-ups, reviewing family health history, reviewing vaccinations, etc. When you visit the doctor, everything will be explained to you and any doubts that may arise will be clarified.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does MTF vaginoplasty require hospital admission?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, you will be admitted one day before undergoing the operation at IM Cl\u00ednic. During that day, all the relevant tests and a bowel cleansing will be carried out, through the consumption of laxatives and antibiotics. Performing intestinal cleansing is essential due to the proximity between the intestine and the new vagina that will be created. After the operation, you will have to stay in the clinic for at least a week so that the surgeon can follow your evolution and provide you with the necessary care for your complete recovery.\"}}]}<\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">TIPS AFTER <strong>TRANSGENDER VAGINOPLASTY<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You will eat a normal diet after surgery. But it is important that it is rich in fiber, since the first days it is common for constipation to appear. If so, you can also take a laxative.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to carry a urinary catheter for approximately 4\/6 weeks. It is important to alternate the leg on which the tube will be attached each day.<\/p>\n<p>You will have to do a relative rest, that is, you can take short walks, but you should avoid efforts and you should not overload your legs.<\/p>\n<p>Dilation is the most important aspect of recovery. During the first month, it is necessary to perform a vaginal douche before each dilation.<\/p>\n<p>You should avoid playing sports until recommended by your surgeon. Afterwards, the medical team will tell you what type of activity you can introduce.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important you do not miss any visits after your surgery.
