Although both functional and aesthetic outcomes after transfeminine vaginoplasty have improved over the years, cosmetic revision surgeries demand after transfeminine vaginoplasty appears to be increasing and requires updated knowledge.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All patients who underwent vulvar cosmetic revision surgeries at our institution following transfeminine vaginoplasty from January 2014 to April\u00a0 2022 were studied. The prevalence, topography and surgical techniques of cosmetic revision surgeries after transfeminine genital gender-affirming surgery were examined using clinical charts review and statistical analysis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>During the study period, 354 patients underwent gender-affirming vaginoplasty at our single institution (212 penile inversion vaginoplasty, 122 colovaginoplasty and 20 penile inversion vaginoplasty with scrotal skin graft patients). Forty out of these 354 patients (11.29%) required cosmetic revision surgery after transfeminine vaginoplasty; additionally, 44 patients with vaginoplasty performed at other centres also underwent vulvar cosmetic revision surgery at our clinic during the study period. From all performed cosmetic revision surgeries, most of them (31.42%) were labia corrections, followed by clitoris (23.26%) repair surgeries. Mons Venus (10.20%), urethral meatus (9.38%), spongiosus tissue remnants (8.57%) and introitus (6.53%) revisions followed in frequency. Corrections of peri-inguinal scars (5.30%), anterior commissure (2.84%) and inferior fourchette (2.42%) were less prevalent. No differences were found among the different studied vaginoplasty techniques regarding cosmetic revision surgery prevalence or topography following transfeminine vaginoplasty (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Cosmetic revision surgeries after transfeminine vaginoplasty are frequent. In our large and long-term cohort study, labiaplasty followed by clitoroplasty were found as the most required cosmetic revision surgical procedures. Further multicentre, prospective and controlled studies are necessary to improve cosmetic outcomes and scientific evidence after transfeminine vaginoplasty.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Level of evidence IV<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
