Androgenic and estrogenic body forms

Recognising the differences between androgenic and estrogenic body forms is crucial in MTF body contouring.

Androgenic body forms

Typically, androgenic body shapes, influenced by male hormones, show fat deposition in the abdomen and flanks, with a generally lower body fat percentage, leading to narrower pelvic regions than estrogenic shapes.

Estrogenic body forms

Estrogenic shapes, often developing under the influence of female hormones, feature wider pelvises and about 10% more body fat, primarily around the hips, buttocks, and thighs, contributing to a more pronounced curve.

The "ideal" female body shape

The concept of an "ideal" female shape is subjective and varies widely. Body contouring aims to help individuals achieve their desired figure, which could be any of the following:

• Pear shape: with hips broader than the shoulders.
• Rectangle shape: where the waist, hips, and shoulders are roughly the same width.
• Apple shape: carrying more weight around the waist than the hips.
• Hourglass shape: often seen as a classic feminine shape, with a balanced bust and hips and a distinct waist.

What procedures form part of the surgery?

MTF body contouring can include:

• Breast augmentation: Creating a breast profile that aligns with the individual's gender identity.
• Butt augmentation: Enhancing buttock fullness and projection.
• Hip augmentation: Broadening the hips for an hourglass effect.
• Facial feminisation surgery: Softening facial features to reflect a feminine appearance.

Benefits of MTF body contouring

Beyond the visual changes, MTF body contouring offers profound psychological and emotional benefits, fostering body confidence and personal congruity.

Post-op and recovery

The recovery process requires adherence to guidelines for rest and care to ensure the success and duration of the results.
