Both the doctor and the staff here were amazing! I was comfortable from the start and had all of my questions addressed thoroughly. My procedure was stress-free and I could not have asked for better support during the recovery. I would highly recommend Valladolid Plastic Surgery to anyone!

At Valladolid Plastic Surgery, led by the esteemed Dr. Genaro Valladolid, we understand the transformative power of transmasculine surgery in helping individuals achieve a physical appearance that aligns with their gender identity. Located in Scottsdale, AZ, our practice is committed to providing compassionate, expert care to patients seeking gender-affirming procedures.
What is Transmasculine Surgery?
Transmasculine surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to support individuals assigned female at birth in their journey to a masculine appearance. These surgeries play a vital role in aligning one’s physical characteristics with their authentic self, offering profound emotional and psychological benefits. Patients often experience increased confidence, reduced gender dysphoria, and an enhanced quality of life after undergoing gender-affirming procedures.
Chest Surgery for Transmasculine Patients
Chest, or “top,” surgery is a cornerstone of transmasculine surgery. It involves the removal of breast tissue to create a flat, masculine chest. Dr. Valladolid customizes each surgery based on the patient’s anatomy and goals. Various techniques are employed, including the keyhole technique for small breasts with good skin elasticity, the periareolar incision for moderate-sized breasts, and the double incision mastectomy for larger breasts or cases of poor skin elasticity. Nipple and areola resizing or repositioning are often integral to achieving a natural-looking result.
Chest Contouring for a Masculine Look
Chest contouring enhances the shape and definition of the chest after surgery. Liposuction may be used to refine fat distribution, creating a sculpted, athletic appearance. This step helps ensure a seamless and masculine contour that aligns with the patient’s vision.
Personalized Surgical Consultation
During the initial consultation, Dr. Valladolid conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s anatomy, including breast size, skin elasticity, and nipple position. Open and compassionate discussions about goals and expectations are central to this process, ensuring patients feel supported and well-informed. With years of experience and dedication to the transgender community, Dr. Valladolid provides care that is both expert and empathetic.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery following chest surgery and contouring typically involves wearing compression garments to minimize swelling and promote healing. Patients can expect some discomfort, which is managed with prescribed medications, as well as specific incision care instructions to reduce the risk of complications. Dr. Valladolid provides detailed guidance on scar care, empowering patients to achieve optimal healing and minimal scarring over time.
Complementary Procedures for Comprehensive Masculinization
Beyond chest surgery, Valladolid Plastic Surgery offers body contouring through liposuction to sculpt areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. Facial masculinization surgery and non-surgical treatments such as Botox or fillers are also available to refine and enhance masculine features, helping patients achieve a cohesive, gender-affirming look.

I want to take a moment to say Thank You for the exceptional care I am receiving at Valladolid Plastic Surgery. Dr. Valladolid, I truly appreciate your expertise and knowledge. Rubi, Gaby, Adriana, you always make me feel like a priority and take such good care of me. I would recommend Dr. Valladolid and his team without reservation. They run an excellent practice.
In 2023, right before my wedding Dr. Valladolid surgically fixed my botched lips which were filled with silicone and scar tissue (from another person) . They looked great and I felt at ease on my wedding day. Fast forward to July 2025 he did my lip filler (the right way) and Botox. He takes his time and seems to genuinely care about his patients. I love the way my face and lips look and I will only be going to Valladolid for my injections.
Had a great experience with Dr V. He and his team are competent, caring, friendly, and committed to seeing the process through.
On April 10, 2026, I had my explanation surgery. Everything went very well, everything was very well explained. I thank God first for having found a good specialist and second to Dr. Valladolid for his good work. Blessings to him and his entire team who took such good care of me.
