Gender Affirming Surgery for Transwomen
Workshop Description
The goal of the workshop is to describe the pre-op, intra-op, and post-operative considerations in vaginoplasty, facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, and body contouring for transwomen and gender diverse individuals who seek feminization surgery. Discussions will pay particular attention to pre-operative requirements, and will delve into expected post operative results and outcomes. The goal is to ensure that prospective patients have a thorough understanding of what the surgical journey entails.
