WHAT IS TRANSGENDER BODY CONTOURING?

Gender-affirming body contouring covers a range of surgical procedures designed to shape a person’s body to better reflect their gender identity. We use techniques like liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift, and fat grafting to target areas such as the chest, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Doing so helps patients achieve a body shape that aligns more closely with their gender expression—whether that be a traditionally feminine or masculine appearance.

BODY FEMINIZATION CONTOURING

Body feminization aims to enhance curves and soften features for a more feminine appearance, often resembling an hourglass shape. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen changes fat distribution, adding fullness to breasts, hips, and thighs. For more defined results, plastic surgery provides precise body contouring options.

ARM AND THIGH LIFTS

Arm lifts (brachioplasty) and thigh lifts eliminate extra skin from the arms and thighs, helping to achieve a toned, more refined look.

BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT (BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift, popular among both cisgender and transgender women, enhances the size and shape of the buttocks without the use of implants. Using liposuction, Dr. Ching can carefully extract fat from areas like the waist, purify it, and inject it into the buttocks, creating fuller curves and a slimmer waistline. Because the fat comes from your body, there’s no rejection or adverse reaction risk.

LIPOSUCTION/LIPOSCULPTING

Liposuction is frequently used in body contouring, especially alongside fat transfer. Advanced liposuction techniques allow us to remove excess fat from the abdomen, waist, and arms, which can then be used to enhance areas like the hips, buttocks, or thighs. This technique can also be used for subtle breast augmentation, providing a natural boost.

MTF ABDOMINOPLASTY

The main distinction between an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) for male and female patients lies in the contouring. A tummy tuck for MTF patients removes excess skin and tissue to create a flatter, smoother stomach, focusing on achieving a defined waistline and softer curves that align with a feminine aesthetic.

BODY MASCULINIZATION SURGERY

Body masculinization surgery focuses on creating a traditionally masculine body shape, which is often characterized by straighter or more angular contours, in contrast to the curvier silhouette associated with femininity. For example:

In the FTM body contouring process, a tummy tuck helps create a flatter, firmer abdomen, aligning with a more masculine physique. Hormone therapy can help redistribute fat for a more masculine appearance, but it may not be sufficient for everyone. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, creating a toned abdomen and enhancing a V-shaped torso for a more traditionally masculine look.
Liposuction removes larger fat deposits, while lipo sculpting allows for detailed body shaping to create masculine contours. Fat transfer involves purifying removed fat and reinjecting it strategically. For trans men, masculinization liposuction typically targets the hips, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks to create narrower hips and a leaner thigh appearance, enhancing the broadness of the chest and shoulders.

WHAT IS THE TRANSGENDER BODY SCULPTING PROCEDURE LIKE?

The process begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Shim Ching and our team at Asia Pacific Plastic Surgery Inc. We will discuss your goals, review your medical history, and assess which body sculpting techniques best suit your needs. This personalized approach ensures that your results will reflect your unique vision for your body.

On the day of surgery, Dr. Ching will perform the selected procedures using advanced techniques that minimize scarring and support natural-looking results. Body sculpting can often be completed in one session, but in some cases, multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal outcomes.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

After transgender body sculpting in Honolulu, you may experience mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and soreness in the treated areas. These effects are natural and should subside gradually over a few weeks. Our top tips include the following:

Follow Post-Op Instructions: Adhering to your surgeon’s instructions will help minimize discomfort, reduce swelling, and support optimal healing.
Wear Compression Garments: Compression garments aid in reducing swelling and maintaining the new contours of your body.
Manage Activity Levels: Avoid strenuous activities for several weeks and slowly reintroduce light activities as recommended by Dr. Ching.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Nutritiously: A balanced diet and adequate hydration can support your body’s recovery process.
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-ups with Dr. Ching and our team allow us to monitor your progress, answer questions, and address any concerns.

As your body heals, you’ll begin to notice the lasting changes in your physique. Final results become more apparent once the swelling subsides, typically within three to six months. Best of all, your newly sculpted look can be maintained long-term with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise.
