Genital reconstruction surgeries to align the body with one's identity: vaginoplasty for trans women; phalloplasty or metoidioplasty for trans men. They are performed in Mexico City with the CETRANS team and urology, following the WPATH Standards of Care.
This is a process that takes time to prepare: comprehensive assessment, support from mental health and endocrinology when applicable, and an honest conversation about techniques, stages, functional results and long-term care.
Dr. Yolotzin is a clinical partner of CETRANS, the center with the most experience in care for trans people in Mexico. Surgery is planned in a certified hospital with close follow-up throughout recovery.
