Breast Enhancement
Breast augmentation surgery can increase the size and feminize the shape of the breasts. After an attentive consultation and a careful evaluation of your anatomy, Dr. Sinclair will help you determine the best type of implant and the best size, shape, and incision for your breast enhancement procedure.
Buttocks Enhancement
The Brazilian butt lift is often recommended for patients with moderate-to-large “love handles” (flank fat) to provide a source of the patient’s own healthy fat tissue for augmenting the buttocks. A distinct advantage of this procedure is that it can also slim the waist, accentuating the size and shape of the buttocks.
Facial Feminization
Facial feminization surgery can impart femininity, youthfulness, and a more attractive appearance. Dr. Sinclair will analyze your hairline and hair density, facial proportions, including the cheeks, jaw, nose, lips, forehead, orbital bones, and Adams apple, to design a facial feminization surgical plan to meet your desires and expectations.
Hair Grafting
Several treatment options are available for baldness or thinning hair, including hormonal therapy and testosterone blockers to prevent hair loss and scalp advancement during facial feminization surgery. The gold standard procedure for hair restoration is follicular unit micro and mini grafting – a procedure with a high patient satisfaction rate that can be performed under local anesthetic.
Gender Reassignment
Male to female gender reassignment surgery (GRS), also known as sexual reassignment surgery (SRS), is a procedure to change both the form and function of the primary sexual organs. In this procedure, Dr. Sinclair removes the penis and testicles, reconstructs the urethra to create a clitoris, and fashions a functioning vagina using an inverted penal flap augmented with scrotal skin grafts.
