Many US-based or Thailand-based transgender surgeons will often turn down patients with high BMI or other health conditions. MTC is in many cases the last resort for these patients to make their transition dreams a reality.

We often receive such requests. All patients will be under anesthesia during surgery, no exceptions. We use local, IV sedation, epidural and general anesthesia or a combination of thereof, depending on the procedure.
You will be surprised how often we get this question. The answer is simple: Possession and/or transportation of human tissue by unauthorized parties is illegal in both Mexico and the US and is a punishable criminal offense that may result in conviction and a prison sentence. Even if the tissue formerly belonged to your own body. We are not allowed to release any human tissue to patients. All tissue will be safely disposed of as medical waste. If another clinic says “Yes” to this type of request, you should be very worried about potential consequences you will face.
