Ready for Your Recovery? How OutWellness Supports Your Gender-Affirming Surgery Journey

Taking the next step in your recovery after gender-affirming surgery can feel huge—and it should! This moment is about embracing the new you and healing in a space where you are fully seen and celebrated. If you’re ready for care that understands your body, identity, and goals, here’s how OutWellness is here to help you every step of the way.

What Makes OutWellness Different for Post-Surgery Recovery?

1. Expert Care for Gender-Affirming Surgeries

Your body deserves the kind of care that understands every part of your recovery. Whether it’s top surgery, vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, or facial feminization, specialized physical therapy is key to a safe and comfortable healing process.

• Trans Masc: If you’re recovering from top surgery, get the support to regain strength in your chest and upper body. For those post-phalloplasty or metoidioplasty, pelvic floor therapy can help you get back to feeling strong and steady.
• Trans Femme: Healing after vaginoplasty? Pelvic floor exercises will help you manage discomfort and rebuild strength safely. Post-facial surgery? Gentle lymphatic drainage massage can reduce swelling and speed up recovery.

2. Timelines You Can Trust

Your body needs time to heal, and knowing what to expect makes recovery smoother. Here’s a glimpse of how your journey might look:

• Weeks 1-4: Focus on pain management and gentle movements. For trans masc recovery, this means improving arm mobility post-top surgery. For trans femme recovery, early pelvic floor therapy starts here.
• Weeks 4-8: Begin rebuilding strength. Trans masc individuals will work on chest and shoulder muscles. Trans femme individuals will deepen pelvic floor exercises for long-term healing.
• Weeks 8-12: Full mobility and strength are the goals now. Exercises continue to help you regain confidence and prepare for the next stage of your life.
