Body Procedures
In addition to trans facial procedures and trans top surgery, some patients are interested in trans body procedures. Dr. Lincenberg performs some trans body procedures. For others, we can refer you to physicians who do handle those surgeries.
Trans body procedures performed by Dr. Lincenberg include:
Buttock Reduction
Buttock Reduction is most often performed for our trans male clients. Size reduction and shaping are usually accomplished by carefully performed liposuction.
If there is looseness and sagging of the buttock skin, a buttock lift may be performed to eliminate excess hanging skin and subcutaneous tissues of the lower buttock.
For extreme laxity and wrinkling of the entire buttock, a lift of the entire buttock is accomplished by a dermolipectomy of the upper border of the buttock. This removes excessive skin and subcutaneous tissues and elevates the entire buttock giving it a higher, rounder, firmer, and younger appearance. This procedure results in a curved scar along the entire upper border of the buttock.
Trans Butt Enhancement
Buttock Enlargement is trending across the cosmetic surgery industry, particularly for transgender women who want to feel more feminine in their skin. The buttock enlargement procedure is designed to create a wider or rounder buttocks and can be customized to meet the individual needs of each patient.
While HRT and androgen blockers can help enhance the buttocks, most of our patients who are transitioning from male-to-female find that the Transgender Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is the best procedure for their needs. This surgery can increase the size, shape and tone of the buttocks, providing patients with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
The MTF BBL surgery allows our clients to feel more comfortable in their skin, ultimately giving them the opportunity to showcase their true selves to the rest of the world.
Types of Butt Enhancement Options
There are two butt enhancement options for trans patients. Both of these procedures offer customized results.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Initially popularized by female Hollywood celebrities to add tone, projection and girth to the buttocks, the Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure that has rapidly become the leading buttock enhancement surgery in the transgender community. BBL surgery is less complicated than placement of buttock implants; the recovery time is shorter; it provides more natural-looking attractive results; and it avoids potential complications associated with implants. Of course, a requirement is that the individual has sufficient body fat to use for transplantation to the buttocks.
Butt Implant Surgery
An alternative to the Transgender Brazilian Butt Lift is Butt Implant Surgery. Sometimes referred to as Butt Augmentation, Butt Implant Surgery is a two-fold procedure. During this surgery, unwanted fat is removed from other portions of the body through Liposuction. That fat is then transferred to the buttocks in order to increase the size, shape and tone of the buttocks.
The Benefits of a Butt Enhancement
Clients who invest in the MTF BBL procedure are usually amazed with their results. There are many benefits to this procedure, ranging from personal benefits to health benefits.
The top benefits of a Transgender Butt Enhancement include:
Patients enjoy an improved sense of confidence. The process of transitioning can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. However, when the results of this procedure shine through, the majority of patients report that they have a surge of confidence due to the fact that they now feel comfortable in their own skin.
This is a gender-affirming surgery. The MTF BBL procedure allows transgender women to achieve an appearance that complements their gender identity. It gives them an opportunity to live an authentic and fulfilling life.
The results create a feminine waist-to-hip ratio. A qualified plastic surgeon who has significant experience working with transgender patients understands the importance of creating a natural, feminine-looking appearance of MTF patients.
The Transgender Brazilian Butt Lift offers long-lasting results, allowing patients to live their best lives for many years to come.
MTF Body Contouring
MTF body contouring is a gender-affirming procedure for trans women looking to create feminine curves and an hourglass figure. MTF body contouring uses a variety of techniques — including fat grafting and liposuction — in order to create a more feminine shape. When performed by Dr. Sheldon Lincenberg, this body feminization procedure can be customized to meet the exact needs and desires of the individual patient.
Benefits of MTF Body Contouring
Body contouring assists in achieving a more feminine appearance to correspond with a trans woman’s identity and can alleviate feelings of gender dysphoria, enhancing self-confidence and emotional health.
Our patients who opt to have this procedure performed find that there are many benefits associated with it, such as:
This procedure provides physical gender confirmation.
It creates a feminine shape for the body.
It offers permanent results.
It is a minimally-invasive outpatient procedure.
Other Body Procedures
Dr. Lincenberg does not perform genital reconstruction, including phalloplasty and vaginoplasty. Several of our patients have gone on to have various forms of these procedures and we are able to help you select a surgeon for the procedure that you desire.
Many of our trans male clients do not wish to undergo phalloplasty, yet they want to remove the main source of estrogen production from the ovaries and eliminate the chance of developing either cancer of the ovaries, a very deadly disease, or cancer of the uterus. Hysterectomy and oophorectomy can be combined with Top Surgery and is performed by one of several board-certified gynecologists that Dr. Lincenberg works with often. Another reason for hysterectomy is to eliminate monthly emotional cycling and bleeding menses, although testosterone is generally successful is preventing periods from occurring.
