Gender-Affirming Surgery

Having your body reflect who you are is a deeply personal choice. With gender-affirming surgery, we tailor one or more procedures to your body, gender identity and wishes.

At ACLINIC, we follow the WPATH Standards of Care to ensure that your treatment journey aligns with current international guidelines for safe, high-quality and respectful transgender healthcare. This includes discussing every aspect of the procedure with you beforehand, so you can make a fully informed decision. Our aim is to make your journey as safe and carefully considered as possible.

Are you considering gender-affirming surgery? We believe it is important that you feel well informed and understand the options available to you. During a personal consultation, we take the time to listen to your wishes and expectations and explore which procedure, or combination of procedures, may be right for you. We do so in a safe, respectful environment.

DEPENDS ON THE PROCEDURE

Gender-affirming surgery may involve a single procedure or a combination of different procedures. The duration of surgery therefore depends entirely on your individual treatment plan.

DEPENDS ON THE PROCEDURE

Depending on the procedure, surgery may be performed under local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia.

A PERSONALISED JOURNEY

Recovery also varies from one procedure to another. During your consultation, we will explain what to expect after surgery and how much time you should allow for recovery.

STEP BY STEP

Your body needs time to heal. Swelling and scars continue to change over several months, and sometimes up to a year. We therefore can determine the final result only once the healing process has progressed sufficiently.

TAILORED TO YOU

As every treatment is different, we first create your personal treatment plan together. You will then receive a clear, detailed quotation.

What does gender-affirming surgery involve?

Gender-affirming surgery is not a fixed package of procedures. For some people, breast or chest surgery (top surgery) is the main focus; for others, it may involve body contouring, facial surgery or surgery of the intimate area. Depending on your individual needs, a single procedure may be performed or several procedures may be combined.

During your initial consultation, we discuss what you would like to change and the result you hope to achieve. Our plastic surgeon then considers which techniques are most suitable and works with you to create a personalised treatment plan.

Our goal? To help your body reflect the way you see and feel about yourself, with a safe and carefully considered approach.

Which procedures can be part of your journey?

Depending on your wishes, gender-affirming surgery can take different forms.

Breast and chest surgery

For many people, the chest area plays an important role in how they experience their body and gender identity.

Depending on your individual situation, surgery may involve adding breast volume, changing the shape of the breasts, or creating a flatter, more neutral or more masculine chest.

Body contouring

The distribution and shape of body volume also contribute to your overall silhouette. Techniques such as liposuction and fat transfer can be used to refine certain contours and add volume to other areas.

This allows us to create more feminine, masculine or gender-neutral proportions, always taking your natural body shape into account.

Facial surgery

Facial surgery can also be an important part of a gender-affirming journey. Facial features may play a significant role in how you see yourself and how others address you. During your consultation, we discuss which features you would like to change and which procedures may be appropriate.

Intimate surgery

Gender-affirming surgery may also include procedures involving the intimate area. The options that may be suitable for you depend greatly on your anatomy, expectations and personal journey. We also discuss matters such as fertility, sexuality and preparation for surgery.

That is why we always take the time to address these topics thoroughly and discreetly during an individual consultation.

One journey, entirely tailored to you

Everyone's wishes are different. Perhaps you are considering one specific procedure. Perhaps you would like to explore several options or undergo different procedures step by step. Or perhaps you simply want to find out more, without any obligation. Together, we consider what is medically appropriate for you and which approach best matches the result you have in mind.

At ACLINIC, our focus extends beyond the procedure itself to your entire journey: from your first consultation to surgery and follow-up care. Where needed, we coordinate with the other healthcare professionals supporting you, such as your GP, psychologist or endocrinologist.
