Sculpt a softer, more traditionally feminine silhouette with liposuction at Transitions. Curated specifically for transfeminine and gender-expansive individuals, this procedure targets areas of stubborn fat to enhance your curves. Our expert surgeons—Dr. Leif Rogers and Dr. Walter J. Joseph—create elegant, gender-affirming results using advanced contouring techniques.
Soften angular contours and achieve feminine curves
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes excess fat from specific areas of the body to create smoother, more sculpted lines. Liposuction for feminization focuses on refining areas such as the waist, flanks, lower abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. By removing fat from these regions, our surgeons can help enhance the natural curvature of the body and support a more traditionally feminine silhouette.
For many transfeminine and gender-diverse individuals, hormone therapy may not fully redistribute fat in a way that aligns with their gender expression. Liposuction offers a surgical solution to this gap, helping define the waist-to-hip ratio and soften angular/masculine contours. At Transitions, our approach combines artistic precision with advanced technology to ensure natural-looking, personalized results that support your authentic self.
Liposuction can address these concerns:
- Stubborn fat around the waist that resists diet and exercise
- Lack of definition in the hips or thighs
- A boxy or square body shape
- Minimal waist-to-hip ratio
- Fat accumulation in the upper arms or back
- Discomfort with masculine fat distribution
Do I qualify for liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for liposuction if you’re seeking a more traditionally feminine body shape and have localized fat that hasn’t responded to lifestyle changes. This procedure is ideal for transfeminine and gender-diverse individuals who are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and are close to their target weight.
During your consultation at Transitions, our surgeons will carefully assess your goals, anatomy, and medical history. They’ll evaluate skin elasticity, fat distribution, and overall body proportions to determine whether liposuction alone—or in combination with other gender-affirming procedures—will help you achieve your desired outcome.
What are the benefits of liposuction?
Liposuction allows you to refine your body contours and support a more feminine silhouette, especially when hormone therapy alone isn’t enough. By strategically removing unwanted fat, our surgeons can help you achieve smoother lines and a more harmonious shape that aligns with your gender identity. Here are some key advantages of liposuction for feminization:
- Enhances waist definition for a more hourglass shape
- Reduces fat in areas resistant to diet and exercise
- Improves balance between the upper and lower body
- Accentuates curves in a subtle, natural-looking way
- Supports gender-affirming goals through precise body contouring
- Can be combined with other feminizing procedures for comprehensive results
- Offers long-lasting changes when paired with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
The day of your liposuction surgery
On the day of your liposuction procedure, you’ll arrive at our in-house surgical center, where our team will ensure you’re fully prepared. After reviewing your surgical plan, anesthesia will be administered—typically general or local with sedation, depending on the areas being treated. Small, discreet incisions are made near the target zones, through which a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to gently break up and suction out unwanted fat.
Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure smooth, even results while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. Once the desired contours are achieved, the incisions are closed, and you’ll be placed in a compression garment to support healing. Finally, you’ll be monitored in recovery before being discharged to rest at home or in our aftercare facility.
Your recovery experience after liposuction
After liposuction, you can expect swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. You’ll be fitted with a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your new contours as you heal. Most patients can walk around the same day, and many return to light activities within a few days. Our team will guide you through every step of your recovery.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and have access to regenerative therapies like lymphatic massage, IV hydration, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which can speed healing and enhance results. While initial changes will be visible within a few weeks, the final results develop as swelling subsides, gradually revealing contours aligned with your true self.
