Procedures Offered
Dr. Sherie offers a range of procedures designed to help trans women achieve feminine contours that align with their goals and anatomy, including:
- Breast Augmentation
- Buttock and Hip Augmentation
- Body Sculpting (Liposuction, Fat Grafting, VASER Liposuction)
- Orchiectomy
MTF Breast Augmentation
For many trans women, breast augmentation plays an important role in gender affirmation and body confidence. Dr. Sherie offers both saline and silicone breast implants and works closely with each patient to recommend implant size, shape, and incision type based on anatomy and desired results.
During your consultation in Charlotte, you will have the opportunity to try on different implant sizes and shapes, helping you visualize potential outcomes and choose the option that feels right for you.
Buttock & Hip Augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Buttock and hip augmentation can help create softer, more feminine curves and an hourglass silhouette. Using liposuction, excess fat is removed from areas such as the abdomen, waist, and back. A portion of this fat is then carefully transferred to the buttocks and hips to enhance shape and projection. Buttock implants are also available for patients who are not candidates for fat transfer.
Body Sculpting & VASER Liposuction
Dr. Sherie offers advanced body sculpting with VASER liposuction and natural fat grafting to refine contours and enhance feminine proportions. VASER technology allows for more precise fat removal and sculpting than traditional liposuction, while fat grafting can be used to add volume where desired.
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, waist, back, hips, thighs, and arms.
Orchiectomy
An orchiectomy involves the removal of the testes, with or without removal of scrotal skin, while leaving the penis intact. This procedure is commonly performed as part of gender-affirming care and may result in hormonal changes that support feminization. Orchiectomy is typically performed under general anesthesia or conscious sedation, depending on the patient’s needs.
