Will the results look natural?

Yes. The procedure is carefully designed to create anatomy that looks natural, proportionate, and in harmony with your body. The focus is not just on appearance, but on achieving a result that feels right for you both physically and personally.

Will I have sensation after surgery?

Preserving sensation is a key part of the procedure. The clitoris is created using sensitive tissue, and many patients experience meaningful sensation after healing. It’s important to understand that recovery varies, and sensation can continue to improve over time.

How long is the recovery?

Recovery is gradual and happens in stages. The first few weeks focus on healing and rest, followed by a steady return to normal activities. Your body will continue to settle over the following months, and you’ll be supported throughout the process so you always know what to expect.

Is dilation required after surgery?

If a vaginal canal is created, dilation is an important part of maintaining depth and structure. You will be fully guided through this in a clear and supportive way, with ongoing care to help you feel confident managing this part of recovery.

Do I need hormone therapy before surgery?

Many patients choose to have hormone therapy beforehand, as it can support overall results. This is assessed on an individual basis, and your treatment plan will be tailored to what is most appropriate for you.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are placed carefully within natural contours so they are as discreet as possible. While some scarring is a normal part of surgery, these typically soften and fade over time, becoming much less noticeable.
