Sex reassignment surgery refers to a variety of procedures that are meant to change the appearance of a transgender person so that it is consistent with the gender with which they identify. It includes different procedures on the face, chest, and genitalia, among which a patient may choose to have only one or a combination of them. While some procedures can be done together in a single operation, if a patient chooses to have many different procedures, several surgical sessions will be required. The recovery, effects, and results vary from one procedure to another. 

Miradry is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for excessive underarm sweating, which works by applying electromagnetic energy to reduce the number of sweat and odor glands, greatly reducing sweat production under the arms. Usually, one or two treatments, 3 months apart, are enough to make a considerable change. Since Miradry targets the root cause of excessive sweating instead of the symptoms, the results are long-lasting, and removed sweat glands won’t grow back.

A highly invasive procedure that’s aimed at increasing a person’s height or correcting a limb-length discrepancy (one leg shorter than the other). It can add up to 15 cm to the height but poses serious risks to the patient. Leg-lengthening is usually done in children and young adults (18-25) whose bone growth has not completely ended yet. The expected result appears over time, usually several weeks, since it takes time for the bone and soft tissues to grow and increase in length. The final result is permanent and you can go back to normal activities after you’re fully recovered.
