About the procedure

Masculinizing body contouring

Performed by Dr Alexis Laungani, MD, FRCSC · Mayo Clinic–trained · WPATH surgeon

Masculinizing body contouring redistributes fat and defines the torso to create a stronger, more angular silhouette. High-definition liposuction, pectoral implants, fat grafting, waist narrowing, and athletic glute contouring (soccer butt) are combined according to your anatomy.

Every plan is built collaboratively, respecting your anatomy, goals, and comfort, and follows internationally recognized WPATH-aligned standards for safe, ethical, natural-looking outcomes.

A philosophy the media has taken note of

Your body belongs to you. You have the right to shape it in your own image.

Dr Alexis Laungani — Fugues, Nov 2025

I see every body as a work in progress, and every patient as a whole person — not a 'transition,' but an evolution.

Dr Alexis Laungani — Fugues, Nov 2025

For many, it is a way of reclaiming their body, of freeing themselves from a deep discomfort.

Dr Alexis Laungani — Fugues, Jul 2025

My aim is to offer procedures that are right, elegant and lasting — never 'cookie-cutter.'
