Our History
The Center for Gender Affirmation was born from a shared belief: that world-class surgical care should never come at the expense of compassion, dignity, or identity.
Our center was founded by internationally recognized reconstructive and microsurgical specialists who saw the need for a destination where gender-diverse individuals could receive the full spectrum of gender-affirming procedures, from chest and facial surgery to body contouring, genital reconstruction, and non-surgical services.
By bringing together expert microsurgeons, aesthetic specialists, and an integrated network of mental health professionals, we created a center that offers surgery in a safe, connected, and supportive environment. Our approach blends peer-reviewed surgical excellence with an unwavering commitment to affirming care.
Our Mission That Moves Us
Our mission is simple: to help every patient feel at home in their body.
We combine advanced surgical techniques, including nerve-preserving microsurgery, robotic assistance, and 3D surgical planning, with trauma-informed, identity-affirming care pathways. Every step from your first consultation to your last follow-up is designed to ensure you feel seen, respected, and supported.
Whether you are seeking your first procedure, fine-tuning your alignment with revision surgery, or adding small non-surgical touches to reflect your identity, our team is here to partner with you.
