Gender affirming procedures are medical
interventions designed to help transgender, non-binary, and gender
non-conforming individuals align their physical appearance with their gender
identity. These procedures can significantly reduce gender dysphoria and
improve overall well-being and quality of life.
Key gender affirming procedures include:
1. **Hormone Therapy**: Administering estrogen or
testosterone to induce physical changes such as breast development, facial hair
growth, and voice deepening that match an individual's gender identity.
2. **Top Surgery**: Includes procedures like
chest masculinization (mastectomy) for transmasculine individuals and breast
augmentation for transfeminine individuals.
3. **Bottom Surgery**: Genital reconstruction
surgeries, such as vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, or metoidioplasty, to create
genitalia that align with an individual's gender identity.
4. **Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)**:
Procedures that alter facial features to create a more typically feminine
appearance, including rhinoplasty, jaw contouring, and brow lifts.
5. **Body Contouring**: Liposuction, fat
grafting, or other procedures to achieve a body shape that aligns with one's
gender identity.
These procedures are part of a holistic approach
to gender affirming healthcare, which aims to support individuals in living
authentically and comfortably in their true gender.
