MASCULINIZATION
SURGERY

The goal of body masculinization is to remove features from the body that can be perceived as feminine, and replace them with more masculine attributes. No two people have the same vision for their bodies, so we work to understand your unique goals.

BODY MASCULINIZATION SURGERY

The goal of body masculinization (sometimes referred to as “man-sculpting”) is to take away features from the body that can be viewed as feminine, and replace them with more masculine qualities - however you define them for yourself.

Typically, a masculine torso is more square-shaped, while a feminine body is hour-glass shaped. Body masculinization can involve a series of procedures including: liposuction of hips, buttocks, abdomen, flanks, waist, and back; abdominoplasty; and pectoral implants or fat grafting to create a more muscular chest. Body masculinization can oftentimes be done at the same time as top surgery.

Body Masculinization Surgery (BMS) uses liposuction to transform feminine curves into a more masculine physique. Men tend to carry weight mass in the upper body, while women carry it in the hips, buttocks and thighs. Thus, the ultimate goal of Body Masculinization Surgery is bringing those proportions closer to a squared or V-shape torso: a broader chest and shoulders and a slimmer waist.

AREAS COMMONLY CONSIDERED FOR BODY MASCULINIZATION:

Liposuction is used to restructure contours and voluptuousness, precisely removing fat from various parts of the body to tone the patient’s physique. While every patient is entirely unique and every consultation deeply personal, transforming the traditionally feminine curvature into a more masculine physique may mean operating on these areas below, as changes here are most prominent and tend to be the key differences between the male and female makeup:

- Upper torso; chest and back
- Abdomen; tummy tuck
- Hips
- Flanks
- Buttocks
- Thighs; inner and outer

WHO MAKES A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BMS?

The best candidates for body masculinization surgery are persons 18 years old or older who have a weight that is well proportioned to their frame and who are either non-smokers or persons who can quit smoking for at least 4 weeks before the procedure.

It’s important to be healthy and at a stable weight. If you have any significant weight fluctuations post-op, that may lead to the need for revisions. It is also highly recommended that you’ve been on masculinizing hormones for at least a year (if testosterone is being used as part of your transition process) since it can affect musculature and fat distribution, which will help to minimize surgical interventions.

ABOUT THE BMS PROCEDURE

Body Masculinization is a commonly performed and safe procedure. Most BMS cases are performed as outpatient procedures and require no hospital stay. A more involved procedure could require a hospital stay of a day or two, though this is quite rare. General anesthesia is typically used to ensure safety and patient comfort.

Masculinization procedures on multiple parts of the body can typically be done all at the same time. However, based on patient wishes and recovery time, we may also space out the procedures to give your body time to heal between operations, such as when top surgery (mastectomy), abdominoplasty, pectoral implants and liposuction are all required. There are multiple ways to time the operations, and our experienced surgeons will work closely with you to establish a timeline that is safe, personalized, and effective for you.

In either case, patients will be carefully walked through any postoperative suggestions and guidelines and be able to get any questions they may have answered so you are confident and comfortable.
