Facial Feminization Surgery
When we see someone, it takes only a split second for our brain to process hundreds of visual cues to decide a person’s gender, age, and mood. Facial feminization surgery (FFS) serves to modify the underlying facial bone structure in order to change masbculine cues to feminine cues. Fellowship-trained in craniofacial surgery, Dr. Chao is uniquely equipped and qualified to analyze and correct your underlying facial bone structure with the utmost care, skill, and safety.
Breast Augmentation
While hormone therapy allows for some degree of breast development, that often ends up simply not being enough. Those patients are often excellent candidates for breast augmentation surgery. This is done as an outpatient surgery with breast implants, which are filled with either saline or silicone gel. During your consultation Dr. Chao will review in depth with you your choices, goals, expectations, and recovery in helping you achieve the look you want.
Chest Masculinization
Chest masculinization surgery, or “top surgery”, involves removal of the breast tissue, and repositioning/reshaping of the nipple and areola. Dr. Chao performs circumareolar (scar hidden around the areola) as well as double incision surgery and will discuss in depth with you what surgery is the most appropriate for your individual body type.
