Patient Information – Dr. Jesús Lago
Gender affirmation surgery is a transformative and deeply personal process. However, in some cases, medical, aesthetic, or functional complications may arise that negatively affect the outcome or quality of life of the patient.
Rescue surgery, also known as revision surgery or secondary reconstruction, aims to correct, improve, or partially or completely redo previous gender reassignment surgery (masculinizing or feminizing).
At Clínica 3 de Mayo, we have extensive experience in reconstructive genital surgery and offer highly specialized rescue treatments focused on restoring functionality, physical well-being, and the body identity desired by each patient.
Revision surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to correct unsatisfactory results, complications, or sequelae from previous gender affirmation surgery, whether performed at another center or for complex medical reasons.
These surgeries may involve reconstruction, cosmetic revision, fistula repair, functional problems, or even complete reoperations.

In trans men (FTM)
Dr. Jesús Lago and his team work with a multidisciplinary, sensitive, and technically precise approach, understanding that rescue surgery requires not only advanced surgical knowledge, but also empathy, active listening, and emotional support.
Each treatment is customized based on a comprehensive medical and aesthetic assessment of the patient, their surgical history, and their realistic expectations.
If you have had gender affirmation surgery and are unhappy with the results or experiencing complications, schedule an evaluation consultation with Dr. Jesús Lago. Our goal is to help you regain control, comfort, and connection with your body.

In some cases, yes. Dr. Lago can assess the repositioning of the neoclitoris, release adhesions, or improve blood flow to the area. It is not always possible to restore full sensitivity, but it can be improved.
Yes. These procedures tend to be more technically demanding due to the presence of scars, damaged tissue, or altered anatomy. That is why it is essential that they be performed by surgeons with specific experience in this type of surgery.
We can help you. Although reports are helpful, we also perform a clinical assessment and additional tests to understand what has happened and develop an appropriate surgical plan.
