Chest Surgery

During chest masculinization surgery, unwanted breast tissue is removed and the chest is shaped to achieve a more masculine appearance. Depending on the anatomy of your chest and your gender identity the nipple-areola complex can either be left intact, grafted (relocated) or removed. We use liposuction during this procedure to achieve the most optimal chest contour. Chest feminization involves the implantation of a silicone or saline implant. We strive to provide the most natural look and will counsel you in the pros and cons of the various available approaches.

Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)

Phalloplasty

Phalloplasty is a complex procedure during which your surgeon will use tissue from other parts of your body to create a natural appearing penis. This can be done with or without creation of a neourethra. Our approach to phalloplasty includes a detailed assessment of your anatomy and your desires. Based on this we tailor an individual treatment plan. We work in close conjunction with our urologist and urogynecologist to provide you with the best care possible.

Tissue that can be used for this purpose:

• Radial forearm free flap phalloplasty
• Antero-lateral thigh phalloplasty (pedicled)
• Myocutaneous latissimus dorsi phalloplasty
• Abdominal based phalloplasty

Transgender body contouring
