Transgender surgery – Gender-affirming surgery

Breast augmentation with implants is the most commonly chosen procedure for trans women (MTF surgery). The specialists at Wellness Kliniek use a specific technique to ensure that the result matches your gender identity as closely as possible. They take your physical build into account in order to achieve a feminine result. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, and the scars are minimal. You can find detailed information about the procedure on our transgender breast augmentation surgery treatment page.

Those who would like a masculine chest can opt for transgender breast reduction. This procedure is also known as Top Surgery, breast removal, Female-to-Male breast surgery and FTM mastectomy. Depending on the shape of your breasts (and chest), the surgeon will choose a procedure to achieve the result that matches how you feel. Read more about this procedure on the page about Top Surgery – transgender breast reduction.

Facial surgery and non-surgical aesthetic treatments, such as fillers, peels and lip augmentation, can give you a face that better matches how you feel as a woman. The surgeon will tailor this to your individual needs. Consider a facelift, neck lift, nose correction (refining the bridge of the nose) or a treatment with injectables. Eyelid correction and earlobe correction are also among the options. You will, of course, receive personalised advice based on your wishes, so that the procedure fits in with your transition. Schedule a consultation, online or on location, for a personal consultation about face feminisation.

Wellness Kliniek does not perform bottom surgery, and here's why: The Wellness Kliniek team specialises in all aspects of aesthetic breast surgery and facial surgery, but the doctors do not perform gender-affirming genital surgery. This is because it is a highly specialised and invasive medical discipline that can only be performed safely in experienced centres with multidisciplinary teams.

Trans men and trans women typically spend at least three years considering whether to undergo gender-confirming cosmetic surgery, such as breast augmentation, breast removal, or facial and skin modifications. It is important that your decision is well-founded and carefully considered.

The doctors at Wellness Kliniek respect the Hippocratic tradition, which centres on the principle of primum non nocere (first, do no harm). Helping people with an aesthetic aspect of their body can be justified when it promotes their well-being and quality of life, as long as the procedure is reversible or has limited impact. However, once a treatment becomes irreversible, it carries permanent risks. This increases the likelihood that someone will later regret their decision or suffer from the consequences, which is contrary to the Hippocratic oath to protect the interests of the patient and avoid irreparable damage.

When it comes to transgender confirmation surgery, it is important that the doctor in question is able to properly assess your expectations of the procedure, both physically and emotionally. The doctor will evaluate this with you in advance. Although virtually every cosmetic procedure is partially reversible, you will never be able to return to the way you were before. During a no-obligation consultation, you will discuss your wishes with the specialist doctor, who will determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
