Does anyone have any good resources about Transgender (mtf) body contouring/fat transfer surgeries?

Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Fat transfer with liposuction and reshaping can be very effective in transgender patients.  Waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen, flanks,
and lower back and fat grafting to your buttocks can be performed to provide an improved hourglass shape.  This can greatly
improve your overall shape with a smaller waist.  Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Finding comprehensive resources on transgender MTF body contouring and fat transfer can be challenging, as this is a specialized field within cosmetic surgery. However, reputable sources such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) website, and larger healthcare institutions with dedicated transgender health programs often provide valuable information. Additionally, seeking consultations with plastic surgeons who specialize in transgender procedures can offer the most personalized and detailed insights into what can be achieved through these surgeries.
What Can Be Achieved: Body contouring and fat transfer for transgender women typically focus on enhancing feminine curves, redistributing body fat to the hips, buttocks, and breasts to achieve a more typically female silhouette. Substantial changes can be made, including altering the view from the back to appear more traditionally feminine.
Costs: The costs of these procedures vary widely depending on the surgeon’s expertise, geographic location, and the extent of the surgery. Generally, body contouring can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. It's important to also consider potential additional costs for follow-up care and recovery.
Weight Gain Before Surgery: Gaining weight before fat transfer procedures is sometimes recommended because it provides more fat for redistribution. However, this should be done under medical supervision to ensure health is not compromised and that the weight gain is sustainable post-surgery.
Advice: It’s crucial to consult with a surgeon who is experienced in transgender cosmetic procedures to get advice tailored to your specific body and goals. They can provide guidance on preparing for surgery, what to realistically expect in terms of results, and how to manage recovery effectively.

Thank you for your questions. Any board certified plastic surgeon with experience with body contouring and fat transfer can help you as long as you have a clear understanding of exactly what you hope to accomplish. Find several local surgeons and go for a few consultations to see who understands your goals the best and can deliver the results you are hoping for.Best of luck!

I think you need to see a vaser HD body shaping expert that does not only skin tightening and lipo but skin removal and body shaping if needed.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In our office the body contouring and fat redistribution has been done by Dr. Raffi Hovsepian. The faces can be done by me and the body at the same time by him.

I don't know of any official resources for this, but ask around and you will likely find some plastic surgeons that perform this regularly. The male pelvis is a bit wider, but I have found that with liposuction of the flanks/waist and fat transfer to the buttocks/hips a more curvy, less masculine figure can be obtained. In person consultation would be needed to assess if you are a good candidate for this type of surgery.
