There isn’t a singular feminizing surgical procedure; there are a variety of procedures that enable people to pursue the options that feel most affirming and necessary to them.

When you’re selecting a surgeon, you can often ask to see HIPAA-compliant before and after photos of other patients who’ve had the same procedure with that provider to get a better idea of what your results will look like. You can also check websites like Reddit for photos that are submitted by patients sharing their own results. Every surgeon puts their own spin on surgeries, so don’t be afraid to shop around until you find a surgeon who uses a technique that you like.
