Common procedures include chest (top) surgery, bottom surgery (vaginoplasty, phalloplasty), facial feminization or masculinization surgery, body contouring, and non-surgical treatments like injectables or laser hair removal.

What is the recovery time for gender-affirming surgery?

Recovery varies by procedure. Top surgery may require 2–4 weeks, while facial surgery recovery can take several weeks with gradual improvements over months. Your surgeon will provide personalized aftercare instructions.

Does insurance cover gender-affirming surgery?

Many insurance plans now cover gender-affirming procedures, especially when deemed medically necessary. Our team can help you verify your benefits and navigate the approval process.

How do I prepare for gender-affirming surgery?

Preparation may include medical clearances, pre-op lab work, stopping certain medications, and arranging time for rest and recovery. You'll receive detailed instructions from your care team.

Yes, our surgeons are experienced in revision and complication management. We welcome patients seeking corrective or enhancement procedures following previous gender-affirming surgeries.
