Plastic Surgery Minutes: Gender Reassignment Surgery

Gender-affirming surgery is a surgical procedure, or series of procedures, that alters a person's physical appearance and sexual characteristics to resemble those associated with their identified gender. Except for female breast augmentation and male breast reduction, which can be undergone by any indivduals with those gender identities, treatment of this sort is primarily undertaken by transgender and intersex individuals. In such cases, it is also known as sex reassignment surgery, gender confirmation surgery, and several other names.
