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.
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, 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 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.
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 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.
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.
With a proven track record of excellence in transmasculine surgery, Dr. Genaro Valladolid has earned the trust of the transgender community in Scottsdale, AZ, and beyond. His expertise, personalized approach, and commitment to patient satisfaction make him a leader in gender-affirming care.
