Buttock and Hip Augmentation
Up to now SRS has significantly evolved during the last decade in technical refinement aspects. Formerly the mainstay of the neovaginal reconstructive procedure is trying by all means to create the deepest vaginal canal . Sensation and external appearance are less surgically oriented. Presently we do reconstruct clitoris and its apparatus from sensate penile glandular flap , the labia minora, the urethral opening etc. to silhouette the true female external genitalia. FFS ( facial feminizing surgery ) silmultaneously runs in the same track to reach the ultimate female face.
However buttock and hip enlargement are somewhat in the dilemma. Some gender dysphasia’s search for all kind of injections , fat graft of such a large volume cannot resist rapid resorption. Liquid injected silicone (LIS ) is FDA. prohibited in our country.
Ass far as I am concerned the ultimate solution of the buttock and hip enlargement is Gluteal implants insertion such as successfully done for the breasts.The current technic I use at Neo Plastic Surgery Center is placement of the silicone prosthesis in the deep pocket between Glutei Muscles . Thanks to the uncomplicated anatomy of this area ,no major blood vessles nor motor nerve except large sciatic nerve which is out of vicinity of the operative area , therefore this procedure yields extremely low complication rate . Submuscular prosthesis alleviates the capsular contracture and malposition of implants which are anticipated by formerly subcutaneous ones.Gluteal implant ( Silicone-gel filled smooth and textured surface)
The “GLUTEUS” implants are permanent prostheses available in two different shapes and in an extensive range of volume. These implants incorporate a low permeability barrier layer within the shell structure to suppress gel bleeding. The silicone-gel is cohesive enough so that its feel like real muscle tissue and does not migrate in the case of an implant’s rupture. The scar is unsightly in the midline gluteus crease. We can assure you the naturally soft consistency. The only drawback is that your buttock must stay clear for intramuscular injection.

Male to Female Alteration
Surgical Procedures
Vaginoplasty
The following methods are used to create a neo-vagina; skin grafting method, vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon cut method, penile flap and penile scrotal flap method. Typically, the Penile or Penile Scrotal Inversion technique (by tucking in penile skin into perineum) and Sigmoid Colon Cut Surgery (by lower abdomen incision using its full-thickness grafts) are widely practiced.
(1) Sigmoid Colon Cut Method
Advantages
a. Natural-looking end result of neo-vagina
b. No neo-vaginal contractures
c. The fluid secreted from intestine will act as a natural lubricant during sexual intercourse.
d. Desirable from the functional aspect of neo-vagina.
Disadvantages
a. Prolonged recovery period due to an extensive surgery through abdominal cavity.
b. May develop complications such as peritonitis, intestinal adhesions and necrosis of intestinal graft.
(2) Penile Inversion Method
Advantages
a. Its simple surgical procedure can greatly reduce possible complications and related side effects.
b. No risk of causing peritonitis or intestinal adhesions associated with colostomy.
c. Rapid recovery-Four to six days of hospitalization.
Disadvantages
a. Requires continuous neo-vaginal dialation.
b. Possible neo-vaginal contractures after surgery.
c. Requires artificial lubricant.
2. Neutralization of Adam’s Apple
Although varied from individuals, Adam’s Apple (uvula) is one of the most prominent features of the male anatomy. Adam’s Apple can be eliminated by making small surgical incisions along the skin fold under local anesthesia-leaving almost no scars. If desired, additional work such as neo-vaginoplasty or breast augmentation can be done at the same time. The surgery will take about 30 minutes to one hour and yields no side effects.
3. Voice Surgery
This surgery will readjust the pitch of the patient’s voice. As part of its physical characteristic, vocal cord can be altered using laser and electricity, but it is hard to predict the final outcome and often requires re-operation. However, through the recent indirect treatment using cartilage plate pull method, the patient’s vocal cord can be safely altered from male bandwidth (100-150Hz) to female bandwidth (200-300Hz).
The surgery is conducted by making small incisions on the neck under local anesthesia and will take one hour. It is necessary to allow ample time to rest the voice, and the final result will show in 6 to 12 months. The surgery is recommended before the SRS.
4. Breast Augmentation Surgery
It is a widely practiced surgery to enhance and heighten the patient’s sense of femininity. Can be conducted in conjunction with other operations such as vaginoplasty.
