Guy Trengove-Jones MD, PC - Plastic Surgeons of Hampton Roads • May 7, 2024

At Guy Trengove-Jones MD, Plastic Surgeons of Hampton Roads, we understand that transitioning is a unique and personal journey. Our dedicated team is committed to helping you embrace your true self through our comprehensive gender affirming surgery services.


The Essence of Gender Affirming Surgery


Gender affirming surgery, also known as gender reassignment surgery, is a set of surgical procedures that transgender individuals may choose to undergo to alter their physical appearance and function to suit their identified gender. These surgeries are a crucial step in the transitioning process, as they can significantly help individuals feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.


Types of Gender Affirming Surgery


The two main types of gender affirming surgery are male-to-female (MTF) and female-to-male (FTM) surgeries. MTF surgeries may include procedures like breast augmentation and genital reconstruction, while FTM surgeries can involve procedures like mastectomy and phalloplasty.


The Decision to Undergo Gender Affirming Surgery


Choosing to undergo gender affirming surgery is a significant decision that should be made after careful consideration and thorough consultation with experienced specialists. At Guy Trengove-Jones MD, we ensure that each patient is fully informed about the processes, risks, and benefits associated with each procedure.


The Role of Support


Having supportive, understanding medical professionals is crucial during this transformative journey. Our team is deeply committed to providing a compassionate, safe, and confidential environment for all patients.


Post-Surgery Care


After surgery, patients may require ongoing medical care and support. We are there every step of the way, offering extensive post-operative care to ensure the best possible results and smooth recovery.


Embracing your true identity with gender affirming surgery is a courageous step forward, and our team at Guy Trengove-Jones MD is dedicated to ensuring that this journey is as seamless and rewarding as possible. Everyone deserves to live in a body that reflects their true self, and our mission is to help make that a reality.
