Body Feminization Surgery

Overview

To most people, the ideal female figure is the shapely "hourglass"—think of Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett Johansson, and Kim Kardashian's tiny waist and beautiful hips. Body feminization surgery may be an option for transwomen who want to achieve this feminine ideal, as well as those who just want to seem more conventionally feminine. 

Body feminization surgery often comprises trunk liposuction along with buttock augmentation. These operations have several advantages, including enhanced self-image and self-esteem, increased congruence between one's appearance and gender identity, and the capacity to more effectively "blend in" in society as a woman.

The feminine shape is defined by three characteristics: breasts, round buttocks, and a low waist-to-hip ratio. Buttock augmentation, often known as a "Brazilian butt lift," is the ideal surgery for producing a feminine, shapely backside. Male buttocks generally lack projection and are fatter in the flank areas, resulting in a semi-flat appearance with limited curvature in the lower back. Female buttocks, on the other hand, are rounder and fuller, with more projection and a "s-curve" shape.
