Understanding Transgender Body Contouring
Body contouring for gender affirmation involves various procedures designed to reshape and sculpt the body to align with your gender identity. These procedures can address areas of excess fat, improve body proportions, and create a more masculine or feminine appearance. Dr. Ghaznavi offers personalized treatment plans tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each patient.
Liposuction for Gender Affirmation
Liposuction is a versatile procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body. For transgender patients, liposuction can help achieve a more masculine or feminine contour by targeting areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and chest. This procedure enhances body proportions and helps patients feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
Additional Body Contouring Options in Reston
Fat Transfer
This procedure involves harvesting fat from one area of the body and injecting it into another area to enhance volume and shape. For transgender patients, fat transfer can be used to create a more feminine figure by adding volume to the hips and buttocks or to enhance masculine features by augmenting areas such as the chest.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, tightening the muscles to create a flatter and more toned appearance. This procedure is beneficial for transgender patients who have excess skin and fat due to weight fluctuations or hormone therapy.
Thigh and Buttock Lift
These procedures remove excess skin and fat from the thighs and buttocks, creating a more contoured and youthful appearance. They are ideal for transgender patients seeking to achieve a smoother and more toned lower body.
