Vaginoplasty

Vaginoplasty is a gender-affirming surgical procedure designed for transgender women (MTF – male to female) to create a functional and aesthetically natural-looking vagina. This surgery is a vital part of the gender affirmation journey for many individuals seeking congruence between their physical body and gender identity.

At Medixir Clinic, our experienced surgical team specializes in advanced vaginoplasty techniques, prioritizing safety, sensation, appearance, and functionality. We understand that this is a deeply personal transformation, and our approach ensures individualized care from consultation to full recovery.

The procedure typically involves penile inversion, where the existing genital tissue is restructured to form the vaginal canal, labia, and clitoris. In some cases, additional skin grafts or techniques may be used to deepen the vaginal canal or enhance the appearance.

Vaginoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes between 4 to 6 hours. Patients stay in the hospital for a few days post-surgery for monitoring and initial recovery.

Recovery is gradual, with most patients returning to light activities within 4 to 6 weeks. Dilation of the neovagina is an essential part of post-operative care to maintain depth and flexibility. Our team provides full guidance and support throughout the healing process.

This surgery can significantly reduce gender dysphoria and improve psychological well-being, self-image, and quality of life. It also enhances comfort in relationships and social interactions.

Before undergoing vaginoplasty, patients must meet WPATH standards, including documented gender dysphoria, mental health clearance, and typically a year of hormone therapy and living in their affirmed gender role.

Sensory outcomes vary, but many patients report preserved or improved sexual sensation, especially when clitoral nerve structures are carefully preserved and reconstructed.

Like all surgeries, vaginoplasty carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, urinary issues, or complications with vaginal depth or healing. Choosing an experienced surgical team significantly reduces these risks.

At Medixir Clinic, we are committed to empowering each patient through respectful, high-quality, and affirming surgical care. We offer comprehensive pre-op education, personalized surgical planning, and long-term support for optimal results.
