Good morning Suzannah (what a lovely name),

Thank you for your interest in what we do.  You should wait a full 2 years on proper hormone dosing before you have breast implants done.

Having a vaginoplasty is not related to taking hormones, in that occasionally we see patients who are so “androgynous” they look feminine already.

You do need to be living as a women, 24/7 (work and play) for 1 year to be sure this is right for you (the real life test).

Cordially,
