What is it

A defining step in feminizing transition

MTF bottom surgery reconstructs the genital anatomy to create feminine form and function aligned with your identity.

For many transfeminine and non-binary patients, bottom surgery is one of the most affirming steps in their transition. Procedures range from orchiectomy to full vaginoplasty, constructing natural feminine vulvar anatomy with attention to aesthetics, sensation, and function.

Every plan is built collaboratively, respecting your anatomy, goals, and comfort. Our surgeons follow internationally recognized, WPATH-aligned standards to ensure safe, ethical, and natural-looking outcomes.

Recovery

Your healing roadmap

A clear, week-by-week picture of what recovery looks like — so you always know what comes next.

  1. 1
    Week 1

    Hospital & initial healing

    Bed rest with a catheter and packing in place. Pain is managed closely and early mobilization begins under supervision.

  2. 2
    Weeks 2–4

    Begin dilation & light activity

    Packing and catheter are removed, and a dilation routine begins (when applicable). You gradually resume light daily activity.

  3. 3
    Weeks 4–8

    Steady recovery

    Swelling subsides and you progressively return to most daily activities while maintaining your dilation schedule.

  4. 4
    Months 3–6

    Tissue maturation

    Tissues soften, sensation continues to develop, and the vulvar anatomy refines as healing matures.

  5. 5
    Month 12

    Final result

    Swelling fully resolves and the final aesthetic and functional outcome becomes apparent.

Results & scarring

What your results will look like

Understanding scars, sensation, and long-term outcomes helps you set clear, realistic expectations.

Expected scars

Scars are carefully placed within natural folds and the labia, becoming discreet as they mature over time.

Scar evolution

Scars are pink and firm early on, then progressively flatten and fade over 12–18 months with proper care.

Sensation

Techniques aim to preserve erogenous sensation. Many patients regain meaningful sensation over the following months.

Aesthetic appearance

Vulvar anatomy is sculpted for a natural, feminine, and proportionate appearance tailored to you.

Function & comfort

Procedures support comfortable urination, sexual function, and overall daily comfort.

Long-term results

Once healed, results are permanent, delivering stable, affirming anatomy and lasting confidence.
