Surgical Body Feminisation
While there is no single body shape or set of features that defines femininity, certain physical traits are often perceived as more feminine within many cultural and social contexts.
Body feminisation refers to a range of procedures designed to create softer, more ‘‘traditionally’’ feminine body contours. Treatment may involve redistributing fat, adding volume, and contouring areas like the waist, hips, and buttocks.
These procedures are tailored to each person’s anatomy and goals, focusing on comfort, balance, and self-alignment rather than achieving a predefined body type or standard.

Liposuction & Body Contouring
Liposuction is used to remove fat from targeted areas of the body to refine contour and adjust volume distribution. In body feminisation, this may include areas such as the waist, abdomen, flanks, or thighs.

360 Liposuction
360 liposuction is a technique where fat is removed around the entire circumference of an area, usually the waist. This can help create smoother, more even contouring from all angles.
