Gender-Affirming Care

Personalized gender-affirming pathways

Coordinated, individually planned surgical care that brings the right procedures together in the right order for you.

Quick Facts

  • Procedure time: Varies by plan
  • Anesthesia: Varies by procedure
  • Clinic stay: Varies by procedure
  • Recovery: Planned around each stage
  • Exercise: Planned around each stage
  • Final result: Reviewed at each stage of the pathway
  • Minimum age: From 18 years

What it is

Not everyone follows the same route. A personalized gender-affirming pathway is a planned, coordinated approach that brings together the procedures that are right for you, in a sensible order and over a realistic timeline. It begins with a private consultation and a clear plan rather than a single fixed package.

Surgery is one part of a wider journey. Dr. Amoroso works with you to understand your goals, sequence any procedures safely, and coordinate timing with your hormone therapy and broader care. The aim is a clear, unhurried plan you understand and feel confident in.

What a pathway can include

  • A clear sequence and timeline for the procedures you want
  • Coordination of chest, facial, or neck procedures where relevant
  • Timing aligned with hormone therapy and wider care
  • Consistent planning and follow-up with one surgical team

A pathway does not replace the individual assessment for each procedure, and each step still carries its own considerations and risks, which are explained in full before you proceed.

Before the procedure

Before the procedure: Personalized gender-affirming pathways

Your pathway begins with a private consultation to understand your goals, health, and any hormone therapy. From there, a written plan sets out the recommended procedures, a sensible order, and realistic timing, with full information for each step.

During the procedure

During the procedure: Personalized gender-affirming pathways

Each procedure within the pathway is carried out as individually planned and consented. Between stages, progress and healing are reviewed, and the plan is adjusted where appropriate so the next step is timed safely.

After the procedure

After the procedure: Personalized gender-affirming pathways

Care continues between and after procedures, with scheduled follow-up and direct access to the team. The pathway is reviewed at each stage so it continues to reflect your goals and how you are healing.

Results: what it can and cannot achieve

A coordinated, individually planned route through the procedures that are right for you is achievable. A pathway cannot remove the considerations of each individual procedure, and timelines may change as healing and circumstances evolve. Your surgeon keeps the plan clear and honest throughout.

Possible risks and complications

Each procedure within a pathway carries its own risks, which are explained in detail before that step. General considerations include:

  • The specific surgical risks of each procedure chosen
  • Healing between stages affecting timing
  • The need to adjust the plan as circumstances change
  • Recovery time required between procedures
  • Coordination with hormone therapy and wider care

A pathway is built on honest, step-by-step planning. Nothing proceeds without a full, individual discussion of that procedure and its considerations.

Who it suits

A personalized pathway may suit individuals planning more than one procedure or wanting a clear long-term plan. It is especially suitable for those who:

  • Are considering several gender-affirming procedures
  • Want a clear sequence and realistic timeline
  • Value coordinated care with one surgical team
  • Have considered timing within their wider care
  • Prefer an unhurried, well-planned approach

It may not suit those wanting a single procedure with no further plans, who can be seen for that procedure directly. Eligibility and timing are assessed individually and in line with recognized standards of care.

Why Skulpturkliniken

Gender-affirming surgery by Dr. Matteo Amoroso

Gender-affirming surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon. His reconstructive microsurgical background gives him a detailed command of anatomy, blood supply, and tissue handling, which supports safe, refined, and individualized results. Care is delivered with discretion and respect throughout.

Natural, balanced results

The aim is a result that reflects how you see yourself, planned around your anatomy and goals rather than a single template. Dr. Amoroso plans with restraint and precision so the outcome looks natural and balanced and feels like you.

Reconstructive precision meets aesthetic judgment

Choosing a surgeon is personal, and the relationship should rest on open communication and trust. From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso helps you understand what is realistic, which approach suits you, and how timing fits into your wider care. Eligibility and timing are assessed individually and in line with recognized standards of care.

Individualized assessment

Every procedure begins with a detailed and respectful assessment. We evaluate:

Your goals and how you wish to be seen

Anatomy, tissue quality, and skin elasticity

General health, medication, and any hormone therapy

Readiness and timing within your wider care

Realistic expectations and recovery planning

What Does Surgery Cost?

The costs of treatments are listed in the price section and often don't change. However, the price depends on the extent of the procedure, the technique used, anesthesia, surgical time, and whether additional procedures are combined.

Every operation is individually planned, and the final price is discussed clearly during consultation after Dr. Matteo Amoroso has assessed your anatomy, goals, and surgical needs.

All surgical prices include one of the most extensive, transparent, and safe warranty programs. The price is designed to be comprehensive and includes everything related to the operation, from consultation and surgical planning to the procedure itself, compression garment when applicable, direct access to Dr. Matteo Amoroso and the medical team, and unlimited follow-up controls during the first year.

Safety and Trust

When considering surgery, price should not be the only factor.

Safety is central to every step of the surgical journey. At Skulpturkliniken, safety isn't a luxury, it's the foundation of everything we do. We have created an environment where accessibility, personal connection, and full transparency are not privileges, but standards. Your Surgeon will be your closest point of contact. We understand that aesthetic surgery is a personal journey, sometimes even life-changing. We have built a model where you don't just meet a surgeon, you build a trust-based, continuous relationship with him. From your first consultation to long after your recovery, your surgeon is personally available to you. You will never find yourself speaking to a call center or an automated message. Need guidance, reassurance, or a second opinion, we will be there not as a favor, but as a part of our philosophy.

One week post op!!!! with dr. Matteo Amoroso in Sweden

One week post op!!!! with dr. Matteo Amoroso in Sweden I’m incredibly happy with my results, this is exactly what I wanted! Shape & placement of both my nipples and incisions are perfect for me. I had top surgery on august 13th 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden. Double incision, no drains. Recovery wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be - pain wasn’t too bad and by day 6 my mobility and energy level was back to normal. (Obviously can’t stretch my arms above my chest or lift anything heavy but other than that I feel normal). Going back to school next week! I’m so grateful that I went with this clinic. 10/10 experience with them. Their whole staff has been incredibly helpful, professional and made me feel safe all the way, and dr. Matteo Amoroso was able to give me the exact chest I wanted! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer :)

One year since top surgery

One year since top surgery May 21, I hit a year since my top surgery. As a big person my breast were big, and I was struggling to live as myself. Summers where the hardest for me, jackets and hoodies in 20-30 Celsius wether, in the US and in Sweden. It got harder last year the wait time for Sweden gender clinic is too much. I decided to go privet, yes I know a lot of trans people are not able to go privet. This is why I’m so greatful for my parents, and I am privileged to have gotten top surgery. But back to what I was talking about. Surgery saved me, it really did, I’m not on T. And I didn’t think I could have gotten passed age 18. I’m happier and much more healthier than before. I don’t wear jackets or hoodies as much, I ware clothes that make me look myself and look as I wanted too. I couldn’t have reached this place if it wasn’t for Dr. Matteo Amoroso in Stockholm and the staff. They where all kind, they didn’t just treat you like someone they had to treat but they treated me like a human, they got to know me even if I didn’t speak Swedish, they where kind, respectful, and most of all helpful. I’m happy of my results, it looks like a man’s chest, The precision and thought by Dr. Amoroso eased my anxiety of bad nipples grafts. Seeing my chest for the first time my first thought was ‘woah, I look awesome!’ Though I still had stitching and it was like a week post op. But I loved it. And still to this day I cannot stop smiling looking at my chest and myself seeing how far I’ve come since the day I came out I highly recommend the clinic not just for people who are in Sweden but to everyone who has the opportunity to get the surgery they wish for. I waited so long, so many times I cried and so many times I felt helpless. But now I’m not, I’m happy, though I only have top surgery and no hormones yet, I have the ability to see myself as me. To know myself and love myself for the first time in forever. And I will always be grateful and I will always thank them for what they have given me, more time I have to say, I’m so fucking grateful, I didn’t have mutch hope, I never thought I would pass the age of 18, but now I can. And I really hope other do too. Yes, everything takes time, and sometimes it feels like we have no time. But from one trans person to another - yall can make it, we all can despite our differences in experience. But we all can. So, if anyone who’s a trans man 🏳️‍⚧️, and are interested in top surgery or have any questions. I’d be happy to answer. Or if anyone just needs to talk. 🥰

Just wanted to share how grateful I am after my surgery with Matteo Amoroso 🇸🇪 ❤️ (FTM Top Surgery)

Just wanted to share how grateful I am after my surgery with Matteo Amoroso 🇸🇪❤️ (FTM Top Surgery) Hey everyone, I don’t post much, but I wanted to take a moment and share something incredibly personal and joyful. I'm a trans man, a woman who transitioned to male (FTM), and I recently underwent top surgery (double mastectomy) with Matteo Amoroso in Sweden—and honestly, I couldn't be happier. From the very first consultation, I felt seen, heard, and deeply respected. Matteo and his team were not only professional but incredibly kind and affirming. The clinic atmosphere was calming, and every step of the process—from pre-op to recovery—was explained so clearly. I never felt like "just another patient." The surgery itself went smoothly, and when I finally saw my chest for the first time post-op, I was overwhelmed. Not just because it looked incredible (which it did), but because I finally recognized myself in the mirror. For the first time, I felt aligned with my body in a way I’ve dreamed of for years. Recovery has had its ups and downs like any surgery, but the emotional relief and sense of joy have far outweighed any discomfort. I can breathe easier. I can stand taller. And I feel so much more at home in myself. If you're on this path and considering surgery in Sweden I can't recommend it enough. This experience has been genuinely life-changing, and I’m so thankful for the care I received. Just wanted to put some light out there for anyone who might need it. You're not alone, and things can get better. Feel free to DM me if you have questions or need support. 💗🏳️‍⚧️

Surgery went smooth, pain free, no complications and i felt supported during the whole process. The clinic is very nice as well as all staff working there. My result is truly amazing and I couldn't be happier!!!! It changed my life.... i feel very lucky to have chosen Dr. Matteo Amoroso for my top surgey.

3 and a half months post-op

I had double incision with Matteo Amoroso in Stockholm on the 10th of June. I've talked more about my experience in older posts, but to put it briefly, it was great. My results are coming along nicely, though the scars are quite pronounced and my nipples healed kind of wonky. I know my results aren't perfect. My chest is pretty uneven, and the nipples are at different heights, but I usually don't really care about it. I love my results, even if they're not picture perfect. Humans aren't picture perfect<3

I had top surgery (DI with nipple grafts) with Dr Matteo Amoroso on 10 June and I am so so happy with everything! I first had an online consultation where Matteo explained the process thoroughly and made me feel super safe and secure. Then, a few weeks before my surgery, I came in for an in-person consultation too, and yet again, he went above and beyond in making me feel safe. On the actual surgery day, I was absolutely terrified, but the way I was treated by the amazing staff definitely helped calm me down somewhat. The pain wasn't bad at all. I only had to take paracetamol for a few days. My scars are healing very nicely, and my nipple grafts are looking better than I dared hope. I finally see myself when I look in the mirror.

FTM Mastectomy

I've been looking into getting the top surgery done across Europe before settling on doing it in Sweden. On Reddit people really recommended Dr Matteo Amoroso and spoke very positively about their experience and results. I was pleased to learn that he was as pleasant and passionate about his work as people said online. The rest was pretty straightforward. My trans friends comment on my very fast recovery (and I didn't need strong painkillers either). Could be individual experience but I'm feeling very happy with the results which drastically improved my quality of life and self image. Thank you <3
