The LGBTQ+ Center provides multidisciplinary collaboration among plastic surgery, urology, and colorectal surgery specialists.
The LGBTQ+ Center considers the individual's preferences, lifestyle, and long-term effects during consultation to suggest the appropriate surgical method.
The LGBTQ+ Center is the first in Asia to perform robotic peritoneal vaginoplasty by using the most advanced
da Vinci robot, and it has extensive experience in the field.
Robotic peritoneal vaginoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small abdominal incisions.
The robotic system provides a clearer surgical view and greater precision, which may help reduce complications and support faster recovery compared with conventional open or laparoscopic approaches.
Achieve a natural appearance with scars strategically placed between the labia minora and majora, minimizing visible scarring in the vulvar area.
Experience a refined aesthetic with a vaginal opening thoughtfully covered by the labia minora and posterior fourchette, eliminating concerns about an ‘over-exposed’ appearance.
Benefit from a neoclitoris meticulously positioned beneath the symphysis pubis, closely mirroring the anatomy of a cis-female.
Preserve the majority of glans tissue to ensure heightened sensitivity and a more fulfilling sensory experience.
Revel in a neovestibule reconstructed using urethral mucosa, providing a moist, mucosal texture that closely resembles natural tissue.
If you wish to preserve your fertility, we can refer you to a specialized facility that offers preservation options.

Transgender women may choose to undergo a range of surgical procedures, such as facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, voice feminization surgery, thyroid cartilage reduction, and gender affirmation surgery. At the LGBTQ+ Center, we work closely with each patient thorough consultations to determine the most appropriate sequence of procedures. Whenever possible, we also offer the option of performing certain surgeries simultaneously through multidisciplinary collaboration, ensuring a coordinated approach to the overall transition process.
