About Gender Confirmation Surgery
Transgender is an umbrella term that describes those who do not identify with their assigned gender at birth. Although such labels may sound abruptly broad, each individual may identify themselves with a rather specific gender that can be permanently transitioned into with gender confirmation surgery (GCS), also known as gender-affirming surgery or sex reassignment surgery (SRS). This type of surgery uses a combination of different techniques from plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery to achieve the final result. In an attempt to guide our patients through this intricate, yet compelling process, we have identified major benefits and key differences in surgical options of Gender Confirmation Surgery that can best express your unique gender identity.
Research shows that gender confirmation surgery is associated with an overall improvement of mental health in individuals with gender dysphoria. The studies have found that mental health treatments were reduced on average by 8% every year in correlation to receiving gender-confirmation surgery within a 10 year follow up period. This can include a decrease in mood or anxiety disorder, use of antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications, and hospitalizations of suicidal attempts.
