When you’ve decided to begin your transition journey, one of the first things you should do is prioritize finding a great surgeon. With gender reassignment from male to female, there are many steps in the process, and they must all be completed with skilled hands. Here are some characteristics to look out for in your surgeon.
Specialized Skills and Knowledge
Specialized skills and knowledge are crucial attributes for surgeons. You want to look for a surgeon who has completed gender reassignment surgery from male to female multiple times, so they have plenty of experience to complete yours successfully.
Many Years of Experience Performing Transgender Procedures
The more years of experience the surgeon has performing gender reassignment from male to female, the more confident you can feel. Ask every surgeon you interview this critical question and consider their answer when deciding.
Support With Every Step of the Process
Your journey to transitioning will be a process that you’ll need support with every step of the way. Even when your surgical procedures have concluded, it can bring you great peace of mind knowing your surgeon is available if you need them again. Find a surgeon who wants to play an essential role in your journey now and in the future.
