BMC aims to provide accessible, individualized, and comprehensive gender-affirming care for our patients. We perform a wide range of gender-affirming surgeries, including:

  • Orchiectomy, in which the testicles are removed from the scrotum
  • Neovaginoplasty, in which the skin of the penis is used to create a new vagina
  • Genital remodeling, in which surgeons create external female genitalia but not a vaginal cavity
  • Breast augmentation, in which breast implants are used to improve breast shape and volume
  • Chest reconstruction, in which breast tissue and excess chest wall skin are removed, and the nipples are repositioned
  • Hysterectomy, in which the uterus and cervix are removed

Criteria for gender-affirming surgery are based on the WPATH Standards of Care 8, insurance requirements, and our surgical team.
