For many transgender individuals, gender-affirming surgery is an essential step in their journey to living authentically.
Bringing Out the Real You
By aligning your physical characteristics with your gender identity, masculinization and feminization surgeries alleviate gender dysphoria and enhance overall well-being. At SVIA, we understand the profound impact that gender-affirming surgery can have on an individual's life. That’s why our specialized team is dedicated to providing compassionate and expert care to transgender individuals seeking bodily changes to align with their true inner selves. With our advanced techniques and personalized approach, we strive to be the top choice for transgender surgery.
What Is Transgender Surgery?
Transgender surgery, also known as gender-affirming surgery, encompasses a range of procedures designed to help individuals transition to their true gender identity. For transgender individuals seeking to align their physical appearance with their gender identity, masculinization and feminization surgeries play a crucial role in their journey. Masculinization procedures are tailored to individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB) who desire a more masculine appearance, while feminization procedures cater to those assigned male at birth (AMAB) seeking a more feminine presentation.
Resources for Your Journey
The TG Resource Center at SVIA provides comprehensive support and resources for individuals undergoing gender-affirming surgery, including guidance on surgery expectations, insurance coverage, and the recovery process. Insurance coverage for transgender surgeries varies, with certain procedures requiring specific documentation for approval. Our center's team assists in submitting claims and navigating financing options.
The center also provides information on top surgery recovery, post-operative accommodations, and resources for further support, including organizations like the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (TLDEF), and the Human Rights Campaign. SVIA's commitment to patient care extends beyond surgery, aiming to empower individuals to live authentically and confidently.
