Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Gender Affirmation

Gender affirmation surgery encompasses procedures that align an individual's physical characteristics with their gender identity. This can include chest surgery (mastectomy or breast augmentation), genital reconstruction (vaginoplasty or phalloplasty), and facial feminization or masculinization surgeries. The goal is to help transgender individuals feel more comfortable and congruent with their gender identity. These surgeries are complex and personalized, requiring a thorough understanding of the patient's needs, anatomy, and psychological well-being. The process often involves a multidisciplinary team, including surgeons, endocrinologists, and mental health professionals, to support the patient's transition journey.
