FFS - Facial Feminization Surgery Barcelona, Spain

I had my penile inversion vaginoplasty performed by Dr. Labanca in May 2023, and it was the best experience of my life on so many levels. IM Clinic is the place to go to have GRS. I contacted several clinics in August 2022 to plan my GRS in 2023. After some initial communication, I narrowed it down to two clinics, and I selected IM Clinic due to the location (Europe), a competitive price level, good reviews (both online reads and through direct contact with former patients) and the quality of the communication. When you contact the IM Clinic, you get assigned a patient coordinator that follows you through the whole process. In my case, lovely Aida has been my single point of contact from the very beginning, and she is just fantastic in the way she answers all questions, facilitates and coordinates. We used WhatsApp, and it is a really efficient way to communicate. Perhaps my most memorable message from our communication is the message I received as I boarded my flight to Barcelona. I want to have control, and I tend to ask many questions, so the final message I received was just gold for me at that time: “Don't worry about a thing ... chill, you've got enough on your plate”. The whole process before the surgery was really assuring and good. When I arrived at the clinic, I was met by Aida, and she made sure everything was ok and also followed me to my room. And the room, and the clinic in general, really needs to be mentioned. It´s a hotel. That also do surgery. It´s a beautiful place that is made to make you comfortable. And it really does that. After check in, I had a pre-check and was prepared for the surgery the next day. I had my surgery in the afternoon, and everything went well. I spent the next seven days in the clinic to rest and heal, and it was just a beautiful stay and experience, where I was well taken care of by the nurses and all the other friendly staff. Also the food was great, I had no pain, and life really just smiled. On day 5, my best friend came to the clinic and stayed with me. Her stay was included in the price I paid. After checking out from the clinic, I moved into an apartment 5 minute walk from the clinic. I stayed there two more weeks to just relax and continue the healing process. On the last day, I had an appointment with Dr. Labanca to check up on me. Everything looked great and worked as it should, no complications. At the time of this writing, it has been a bit more than two months since my surgery, and I live my daily life more or less as normal. Some new routines of course related to dilating, but that really is no problem. I have just adapted those activities to my life, and it will eventually be a routine that only needs to be done once a week. Also, I still have regular communication and follow-up meetings with Dr. Labanca to check how things are going. That is very good and reassuring, and we will continue to have those meetings for a year. A final note on some important success criteria. Make sure that you are in good physical and mental shape, and also, please follow the instructions you receive from the clinic. So all in all, you are well taken care of through the whole process by a very professional team, the place is beautiful and the surgery result has exceeded my expectations, both in form and function. Highly recommended!

Professional doctor and very friendly staff. I am very satisfied with the result. I recommend this clinic to others.

I have had an online video consultation with the doctor and Aida. They both seemed very welcoming, helpful and assuring. I am hoping to proceed with them in the future.
