Gender-affirming surgery has emerged as a vital step for those seeking to better align their physical appearance with their gender identity. This transformative procedure provides joy and satisfaction, helping individuals feel more at home in their bodies.
Gender-affirming surgery involves a range of procedures designed to align an individual’s physical traits with their gender identity. These surgeries help people gain a greater sense of confidence and comfort and can signify life-changing steps that promote well-being and self-love.
There are a number of different procedures that can be considered gender-affirming care. The speciality at Dr. Rahal’s office is body feminization through body contouring. That means using liposuction, fat transfer and breast augmentation to create beautiful, natural-looking curves. He also does breast augmentation.
While body feminization surgery is Dr. Rahal’s specialty, there are other gender-affirming procedures that people can pursue. Here is a list of the most common procedures.
Choosing to undergo body feminization is a significant decision. Dr. Rahal emphasizes personalized care, understanding that each patient’s needs and goals are unique. This approach ensures that patients feel confident and comfortable with their choices. How does Dr. Rahal ensure that all of his patients receive the care – and final results – that they desire?
By building your pre-operative, surgical, and recovery plans to your specific goals.
The journey begins with an initial consultation, either in-person or virtual. This is where Dr. Rahal assesses your readiness for surgery, answers questions, and discusses expectations.
Common questions during this consultation may include:
During your consultation you will specifically discuss what you are looking for out of your surgery. And thanks to the 3D VECTRA Imaging System, you’ll be able to see true-to-life 3D renderings of what you’ll look like after your surgery and recovery, during your consultation for in-person, and before surgery for virtual consultations. Through this process, Dr. Rahal makes sure that you are both on the exact same page when it comes to what you want out of your body feminization surgery.
A common question we receive at Dr. Rahal’s practice is how gender-affirming body surgeries compare to traditional procedures like 360 liposuction with a BBL. The truth is that both surgeries are quite similar, and they have the same goals! Both aim to create a feminine, hourglass physique through very similar techniques.
Dr. Rahal’s team provides comprehensive support throughout the process. Initial post-surgery care may include a stay at Prestige Surgery Aftercare in Beverly Hills and recovery sessions – such as lymphatic drainage massages and hyperbaric chamber sessions – at our in-house recovery center.
Patients should avoid strenuous activities and follow specific instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
While recovery times do vary from patient to patient, the general expectation is that your final results will show by 3 months after your surgery.
Gender-affirming surgery is a profound step towards aligning one’s physical appearance with their gender identity. Dr. Rahal and his team are dedicated to providing expert, compassionate care tailored to the needs of the transgender community.
