Sometimes, it is difficult or impossible to take feminizing hormones. An endocrinologist may recommend an orchiectomy, which involves removal of the testicles, to considerably reduce the production of testosterone.
An orchiectomy prior to vaginoplasty does not compromise the results of the latter. However, because the scrotal skin may retract (shrink) after an orchiectomy, a skin graft may be necessary for the construction of the vaginal cavity. If you plan to have vaginoplasty surgery, it is recommended that you do stretching exercises with the skin of your scrotum to prevent it from retracting (shrinking) after your orchiectomy.
During an orchiectomy, the surgeon will remove one or both testicles from the scrotum. During a scrotectomy, the surgeon will remove the entire scrotum or a portion of it.
If your transition will eventually include a vaginoplasty, the scrotal tissue may be used to create the vaginal lining. A vaginoplasty is the construction of a vagina using skin grafts. In these cases, a scrotectomy may not be recommended.
If there’s no scrotal tissue available for a vaginoplasty, the next option for constructing the vaginal tissue can often include skin grafts from the upper thigh.
Dr. Aguilar is the only surgeon in Latin America who offers Nullification surgery, also well known as Male-to-Nullo.
Many Gender Non-Binary patients opt for this more conservative surgical approach than the standard SRS. This surgery is focused on providing no sexual internal and external genitalia, giving the patient an external appearance of no penis or vagina. What makes Nullification SRS different from the standard SRS in the case of Male-to-Nullo, is that it does not include the creation of a vaginal canal so there will be no functional depth for penile penetration, includes the testis removal and the highly reconstructive procedure to reroute the urethra.
For those patients seeking to preserve sensitivity and an ability to orgasm, we can preserve the part of the glans, embedded under the skin surface.
Mastectomy or masculinization of the torso is a procedure in which the breast tissues and mammary glands are removed.
Double incision bilateral mastectomy with nipple grafts (with nipple areolar complex or NAC graft)
This technique will be recommended by the surgeon when the patient has excess tissue and mammary glands.
Male Chest Implants are soft, but solid silicone implants placed in between the pectoral muscles to add bulk, size, and definition to the chest region. Male Chest Implants are not the same as Female Breast Implants. The look different, are placed differently, and are made out of different materials. Male Chest implants cannot leak or deflate. Male Chest Implants make the chest look bigger and more developed. Male Chest Implants can be used to correct any existing muscle asymmetries or to help an underdeveloped chest.
For girth augmentation, we use fat transfer, hialuronic acid, Radiesse or PMMA, Alloderm or Belladerm, and the latest autology tissue dermal fat graft, a procedure where we take fat with dermal graft from below the buttock area, finally we proceed to circumcision if the patient desires, procedure we do recommend.
PeniFlex™ implant is a very popular and completely permanent solution to penile enlargement.

DOZENS OF PATIENTS HAVE ALREADY LOCKED IN A LOW PRICE – ASK US HOW!
Dr. Aguilar and Dr. Mendez perform sex reassignment surgery (SRS, also knows as GRS – gender reassignment surgery or also often referred to as “gender confirmation surgery”) in one step construction by using the penile inversion and scrotal graft technique, this technique learned from one of the top surgeon in United States in SRS Dr. Marci Bowers. This will provide gender reassignment surgical results that have anatomical appearance and physiological function.
The surgery time is around 4 hours, and it performed by Dr. Aguilar and Dr. Carlos Mendez, who is a board certified Plastic Surgeon, to achieve the best aestetic and natural look of external genitalia.
The ideal reconstructive procedure should provide a vagina that has an appropriate length and that requires less dilatation. It should not scar, stenose or contract and should provide a satisfactory cosmetic result. Reconstructing the vagina using intestinal segments creates an aesthetically pleasing vagina, which seems to be more compatible with sexual activity.
After penile inversion skin flap, sigmoid colon technique presents the method of choice in transsexual surgery. Advantages of this procedure include adequate vaginal length, early intercourse and a low rate of shrinkage. Sigmoid colon is particularly useful because it is anatomically similar to the perineum, with sufficient length and mobility of the segment that allows it to be easily brought into the perineum.
The neovagina will be packed for 7 days, and an indwelling Foley catheter will be left in place for 4 days. At discharge from hospital, patients are instructed to irrigate the neovagina once a day for 2 months and weekly thereafter, and to dilate the introitus of the neovagina on a daily basis with a vaginal dilator.
Mexico Transgender Center also offers a more conservative surgical approach than the standard SRS which is called “Cosmetic SRS” or a “Limited-Depth SRS”. The operation time of the cosmetic SRS is shorter than standard SRS, it has faster recovery time and the vaginal dilation is no longer required.
Prospective SRS patients who do not wish to have a functional vagina for the use of sexual penetration, the cosmetic SRS should be taken in consideration.
Cosmetic SRS consists of elimination of male genitalia, penis shaft and testes, creation of all external female genital structures which are clitoris, clitoral hood, labia majora and minora, and urethral and vaginal opening. The vaginal opening of up to 1.5 – 2 inches deep is needed to maintain the natural look of female genitalia and make an illusion that it has a vaginal canal.
Sensitivity and orgasm are achievable with cosmetic SRS as the nerves responsible for sensation are carefully preserved during the surgery. Colon technique or skin graft can be used, should the patient decide to create vaginal canal at a later time.
Dr. Aguilar is the only surgeon in Latin America who offers Nullification surgery, also well known as Male-to-Nullo.
Many Gender Non-Binary patients opt for this more conservative surgical approach than the standard SRS. This surgery is focused on providing no sexual internal and external genitalia, giving the patient an external appearance of no penis or vagina.
What makes Nullification SRS different from the standard SRS in the case of Male-to-Nullo, is that it does not include the creation of a vaginal canal so there will be no functional depth for penile penetration, includes the testis removal and the highly reconstructive procedure to reroute the urethra.
For those patients seeking to preserve sensitivity and an ability to orgasm, we can preserve the part of the glans, embedded under the skin surface.
Testicles can also be preserved (externally only, placing them under the skin will not allow testicles to survive due to internal body temperature).
We also offer Phallus Preserving Vaginoplasty (PPV) for those seeking to preserve the penis and receive a neo-vagina.
The clitoral hood is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoris. It is vital not only in protecting the clitoris, but also in achieving pleasure during sexual arousal, this hood is constructed with the penile skin and the urethra mucosa to achieve this sensation.
Dr. Aguilar expertise is to preserve specific sensory nerve to provide excellent sensation and successful achievement of orgasm, the neo-clitoris is made from the dorsal part of glans pens, the most sensitive area of the glans and the preservation of the neurovascular bundle will ensure the sensation and achievement of orgasm guarantee.
The vulva is made from the ventral part of the penis when is inverted and a lining of the urethra mucosa, will provide lubrication and pleasure sensory, due to its pudendal innervation and the inner labia is normally pink in color and extends to the bottom of the vulva vestibule to become the posterior fourchette which is similar to the appearance of inner labia in biological women.
Dr. Aguilar do not depend on the inversion of the penile skin totally, the scrotal skin, will be remodeled and will create a natural shape of vaginal opening in vertical orientation for the best realistic look and function, this scrotal graft will provide a 6 to 8 inches depth vagina, allowing Dr. Aguilar to use part of the penile skin for the creation of the labia. The vaginal opening can also expand appropriately to accommodate pleasurable sexual intercourse and vaginal dilators in varied sizes.
The process of skin graft technique is delicate as the donor skin from scrotum and groin will be converted to be the intermediate thickness of skin graft which means the superficial part of dermal layer is preserved to maintain skin durability.
To ensure that the skin graft will be 100% hairless, the hair follicles of the scrotal skin will be cauterized, so if the patient did not got a proper laser hair treatment or Hydrolysis, Dr. Aguilar will take care of the hair follicles during the surgery.
Self-lubrication can be also expected by preservation of specific secretory glands around the urethral & vaginal opening, but Dr. Aguilar recommends lubricant for intercourse, for less vaginal discomfort.
The urethral orifice is set above the vaginal opening at the correct anatomical position to allow female pattern of urine flow, being Dr. Aguilar a reconstructive urologist, the urethra reconstruction is guarantee it won’t close, major complication seeing in plastic surgeons urethroplasty.
All spongiosum muscles around urethra are completely removed to prevent tissue engorgement during sexual arousal which can narrow the vaginal opening, create the sensation of cystocele or cause difficulty during sexual intercourse.
Our highly qualified surgical nurses will assist you after the operation, they will be with you 24/7 in the hospital at your bedside, after you are discharged they will come to visit your daily at the hotel and they will do their best to provide all necessary after care for you, it is our policy to provide only well-trained and specialized surgical nurses who know all the details of your surgery to closely monitor and take care of you during your recovery.
Upon discharge, we will provide you with all necessary oral medications including the detailed instruction on how to take the medications correctly, post-surgical garment to retain the vaginal package (Special Diaper), SRS certificates containing the original handwritten signatures of Dr. Aguilar and Letter of Postoperative Care Management.
For Penile Inversion SRS you will be required to purchase a set of dilators:
Sensitivity and orgasm are well achievable with all types of SRS as the nerves responsible for sensation are carefully preserved during the surgery.
Like with any surgical intervention, complications do happen but they are rather rare. Mainly, complications are related to vaginal canal, that may lose depth or even close up, if dilating regimen is not closely followed or done improperly. We have performed hundreds of SRS surgeries to date and are only aware of 2 patients who lost depth due to failure to dilate. Rectal injury is also a possible risk with certain patients. In over 10 years of practice, we only had one (1) such case.
Remember, after you leave hospital, it is your sole responsibility to closely stick to dilation regimen, to avoid closure of vaginal canal.
Note that none of these risks are present for cosmetic SRS, which does not involve creation of a vaginal canal or any dilating at all. More and more of our patients choose cosmetic SRS.

Did you know that at Mexico Transgender Center we offer entire spectrum of Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) at extremely affordable prices – more affordable than most other clinics?
Dr. Carlos Mendez is our Board Certified plastic surgeon who has performed numerous FFS procedures, delivering excellent results for our patients at the fraction of the cost of such surgery in the United States. Your dream of looking feminine has never been this accessible.
Dr. Mendez utilizes the 2 layer rhytidectomy which includes the combination of skin rejuvenation and also SMAS lift, this is a more reliable method of skin rejuvenation that mainly works by eliminating the saggy skin and creases and tightens the muscles and tissues underneath it to achieve a more youthful look and longer result compared with only traditional skin lifting procedure. Upper and lower Blepharoplasty & Double eyelid surgery, which consist in the surgical removal of fats and excess skin on the upper and lower eyelid, is a procedure that can be done at the same time (for an extra cost). Apart from its aesthetic effect, the upper eyelid surgery is beneficial for older people who have droopy skin that interferes or blocks their vision. An attractive & natural fold with long lasting result will be achieved.
Surgery of the ear is a minor operation to correct the protruding ear by skin and/or cartilage reshaping. A linear incision made during the surgery will be well hidden and unnoticeable when viewed from the back to bring the ear closer to the head.
We offer various nose surgeries which includes feminizing, reshaping and reduction rhinoplasty depending on the individual’s need or preference. In many cases, the incisions are made via what’s referred to as a “closed rhinoplasty.” This means that the incisions are made on the inside of the nose with access via the nostrils. However, there are some cases where an “open rhinoplasty” is preferred in order to provide greater surgical access. In these cases, an incision is discreetly placed on the strip of skin which separates the two nostrils; we also recommend nose tip refinement or bulbous nose correction without bone reshaping.
This procedure reduces the prominence of the supraorbital rim using the most common bone burring method, In men the eyebrows are usually set lower than those of a woman. It is for this reason that many Facial Feminization patients undergo a brow lift, sometimes called a forehead lift, in order to raise the eyebrows to a more feminine level.
When performed reconstruction, this approach is more invasive but may be recommended in some cases. It involves the removal and remodeling of a portion of the forehead bone structure which is then put back in place, this bone reshaping method is not only recommended for feminization but it is also suitable for those men and women who are born with largely protruding brow bone structure. The degree of reduction will depend on the patient’s anticipated end-result.
With this procedure the zygomatic bones are being manipulated to restructure and reposition the protruding parts to narrow the middle part of the face to achieve a soft and feminine face profile that is appropriately proportional with the other parts of the face. We can also recommend cheek implant for those patients in which the cheekbone is flat, and we want to achieve a more prominent and feminine facial look this procedure is intended to provide more volume and projection to the cheekbone and the area underneath the cheek bone to provide elegance to the mid-face area.
This procedure is suitable for both men and women who wish to achieve a narrower and a “V” shape face. Dr. Chettawut’s technique is a one line reduction carried out through intra-oral approach so it does not create any incision or scar on the face.
This is also called as “Adam’s apple reduction” and “Chondrolaryngoplasty” and it aims to reduce the size of the thyroid cartilage to achieve a feminine neck area.
Dr. Mendez performs chin implant surgery to enhance the projection of chin in order to attain a more proportionate upper and lower facial structure. This procedure can be done intra-orally either under local anesthesia for standalone procedure or general anesthesia if done together with jaw / chin contouring surgery or complete facial feminization.
The hairline is undoubtedly an area where the difference between the sexes is quite noticeable. Genetically born males typically have higher hairlines than do genetically born females. In addition, it is common for the male hairline to recede, especially in the areas just above the temples, the hair advancement surgery is perform by an incision in the hair implantation area and the hairline is advanced towards the eyebrow, the incision will be concealed in the hairline for better aesthetic results, we can also perform Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant for our patients with substantial male pattern baldness.
The main goal for jaw surgery is to achieve the V shape of the face, male jaw is a square area which provide a masculine and dominant face pattern, eliminating this area and bring it in to a V shape will provide a successful facial feminization, we usually recommend the chin implant in this surgery to enhance the V shape into a more feminine look.
Dr. Mendez performs a lip lift in order to reduce the distance between the bottom of the nose and the top lip, an incision is made under the nose and a portion of skin is removed in order to raise the lip up and shorten the area, to provide a more feminine look.

Like with any plastic surgery, each procedure carries a certain amount of risk. Generally, Facial Feminization is considered very safe and complications are quite rare.
To protect the privacy of our patients, we do not publicly display their facial photos on our website. Some patients have agreed to share their before/after photos with out prospective patients. Please contact us for more information.
At Mexico Transgender Center we offer entire spectrum of body feminization surgery. Procedures are performed by Dr. Carlos Mendez, our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, at CHG Hospitales, a VIP world-class private hospital in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.
Breast augmentation is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness and improve symmetry of the breasts.
Also known as fat grafting or fat injection. A fat grafting procedure transfers fat from areas in which you have excess fat, such as the outer thighs, and injects it into areas that may be lacking in volume, such as your face, hands, breasts or buttocks. This safe, long-lasting, well-tolerated procedure produces natural-looking results. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful fat grafting and are pleased with the results.
The brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a type of butt augmentation procedure which results in youthful, prominent, perky buttocks and a more sensual body profile.
The surgical procedure uses your own fat, so it is the most natural way to augment your buttocks. Over the last few years, the buttocks have received more press coverage than ever before. People of all ages and body types are having the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure.
For those with insufficient fat deposits to qualify for brazilian butt lift (BBL), we offer anatomical gluteal implants. Unlike with BBL, where fat can eventually start moving around your body due to natural internal processes, implants produce beautiful permanent results.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery does carry some risk, like with any surgical intervention. Body feminization procedures are considered safe when performed by a Board Certified plastic surgeon. We operate at CHG Hospitales, a fully equipped and fully staffed private hospital. Rest assured that you are in good hands and that your safety is our top priority.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) requires a patient to have sufficient fat deposits to be harvested and transferred into buttocks area. About 40% of harvested fat will be lost during purification process, therefore many patients may end up with not enough fat to be injected into buttocks area. For these patients, we recommend gluteal implants that will provide permanent and beautiful results. Our doctors will evaluate each specific case and make appropriate recommendations.
Recovery time will vary by procedure, from 2-3 weeks for breast augmentation to up to 2 months for gluteal implants and fat transfer.

Mexico Transgender Center is the ultimate destination for Female-to-Male transgender community. Dr. Ivan Aguilar specializes in Conjoined Bilateral Pedicled Groin Flap Phalloplasty, also known as Kim FTM Phalloplasty.
Conjoined Bilateral Pedicled Groin Flap Phalloplasty, also known as Kim FTM Phalloplasty, this 3-stage procedure is a less expensive alternative to microsurgical phalloplasties that uses conjoined bilateral pedicled groin flaps.
The final penis size depends on the patient but averages just over 4 inches long by 1.75 inches wide. Scars are easily concealed by underwear or a swimsuit.
Patients can stand to urinate, and sexual intercourse with a partner is also possible. Erotic sensation and orgasm continues to be provided by the clitoris preserved at the base of the neophallus. Patients report tactile sensation in the bottom half of the penis.
Implantation of a malleable erectile prothesis is optional, but inflatable devices are not possible.
The procedure is named for its founder, Dr. Kim of Seoul, Korea. Dr. Kim studied extensively with Professor Sava Perovic MD PhD (now deceased), who was a critical figure in the advancement of FTM surgeries. Before Dr. Rados Djinovic joined the Sava Perovic Team, Dr. Kim was the surgeon who accompanied and supported Professor Perovic when he demonstrated FTM genital surgeries in other countries.
Surgery Stages (3 months apart)
It will take at least 6 months to complete all 3 stages of Conjoined Bilateral Pedicled Groin Flap Phalloplasty, also known as Kim FTM Phalloplasty. Please be prepared to allocate time for each stage and the recovery.

Metoidioplasty is the surgical creation of a penis using your existing genital tissue. It is a less-extensive procedure than phalloplasty and is performed after the clitoris has been enlarged through the use of testosterone therapy. It is a more popular surgery due to lower cost.
Urethra lengthening (mucosa graft) included.
NOTE: If requesting vaginectomy, patient must have hysterectomy done first. Hysterectomy is available, Please inquire.
