Breast Implants Barcelona, Spain

If you are reading this review you are in the same situation I was once upon a time! To decide on where to do one of the biggest and most life-changing surgeries in your life, vaginoplasty! I was in your position once and read about doctors and looked at the results! But as important is the recovery! I ended up in the Im Clinic because of the beautiful results from their webpage and their many reviews of smooth recoveries, but also because of the amazing communication between the patient and the surgeon! You get free consultations before and after surgery to ensure that all questions is answered! I remember I was mindblown after my first consultation, the surgeon told me I didn't ask enough questions and wanted to set up a new consultation to ask more questions before I made my decision! They are not pushing you into choosing the Im Clinic, they rather want you to make an informed decision for what's best for you! I am now 4 months post-op, and I have never been happier! My result has become pretty much as the pictures shown on the website (just a bit more swollen, but this will go down)! The dilation schedule is very easy with 3 dilations daily the first month, then 2 dilations daily the next 2 months and once a day for the next 3 months! I can share that I have started physiotherapy and she was amazed at how natural it looked and how natural it also felt! She has worked 30 years helping women with a tight private part and she could not feel the difference between me and a cis-female! I have never been happier! Dr Labanca and the amazing patient coordinator Rosa have changed my life in ways I never thought possible! They truly are angels in my eyes, for me the impossible has become possible! I can feel like myself after a bit more than 20 years of living in the wrong body! Remember this is not an easy surgery to recover from, so to have a secure network like the Im gender medical team around at my disposal has been crucial for my recovery! I hope my review helps you in any way to make your decision!

Overall, it was a good experience for Colon-vaginoplasty. If I had to do it over again, I would not pick a different surgeon; she is a wonderful person and a definite ally - same with all the staff. Functionally. Everything seems to be in good recovery from the surgery was not painful - the worst part is the bed rest and just being helpless in the few days following surgery. I had a complication due to the IV, which I'll explain more below. Right now, there is still a good amount of swelling. I am told that the majora will subside over the coming months - besides that, the rest of everything looks pretty good, and I'm happy so far.

Aida Masdeu has been the clinical co-ordinator for 3/5 of my gender-affirming operations, and I followed her founding Safe Rebirth for my most recent voice masculinization surgery (Type 3 Thyroplasty). This isn't through having a bad experience with any other co-ordinators, it's just that Aida is so damn good at what she does that after meeting her that I instantly trusted her with the future of my medical transition. If you're reading this and are interested in step-by-step of my Safe Rebirth experience I'll include this below, but please know that Safe Rebirth completely understands that gender-affirming surgeries aren't something clinical to 'just get done', and they don't treat these life-changing procedures as anything mundane (as you'll see a lot in England). Aida and Oscar are legendary-level allies, celebrating trans joy with the community. You can absolutely feel the love in their labour. Thank you so so much to the team for helping me to finally see myself after six years of struggling <3 When you've decided on a surgeon, Aida will liaise with the clinic. My initial consultation was done over Whatsapp with Aida translating if there are any communication barriers. I had my own questions prepped, but she had queries about my welfare and comfortability that I hadn't even thought of. You have the freedom to request a certain month, and they'll get back to you with available dates and payment information. I cannot stress enough that if even if Aida herself isn't nursing you, she WILL take care of you! She would always check in to make sure the clinic were communicating with me fully and transparently, that I was being offered the post-op therapies that I needed and paid for, and how I was feeling counting down towards the operation. She even checked in with me when I landed at the airport and again at the hotel, helping me navigate public transport in cases where I was unsure. I was travelling alone, but even at opposite ends of Spain Aida was making sure I was safe. I booked a hotel that Oscar recommended, and even though I paid for my room I still felt like I was being spoilt. Perfect location to walk to the hospital, the beach, the old town - it was honestly like a holiday. The staff there were also incredibly accommodating when I couldn't speak for the second half of my stay. Oscar gave me some recommendations of things to see tailored to my interests like art galleries and museums, and they were places I wouldn't have found on my own! The pre-op appointment, operation, and post-op recovery? Easy. If it's weird to say the experience has been enjoyable, then maybe I'm a total weirdo. All medical staff I've met in Spain are so friendly, assured, and relaxed - you're really put into good hands with the clinics you're offered. Aida would keep in communication until discharge, again to see you home safely, and now two weeks post-op we're still sharing in the excitement of how my voice is developing. Getting estimates, deciding on where to stay, knowing how to travel, struggling with language barriers, knowing what clinics are trustworthy, feeling anxious or unsure or even scared of what to expect, circumstances of being unable to trust anyone to rely on when going through such vulnerable yet monumental changes - all become non-issues with Safe Rebirth, and it's a service providing such needed compassion along the way too. I've done it on my own, I've done it through other services, but Safe Rebirth ensured that this huge moment in my life was stress-free and a happy experience :)
