Dr. Mabourakh combines extensive experience with a patient-centered approach, ensuring your needs are respected and understood.

What to Look for in a Gender-Affirming Surgeon

When considering your options, keep the following factors in mind:

  • Board Certification: Ensure your surgeon is board-certified and specializes in the type of procedure you need. You need a board-certified plastic surgeon for top surgery, body contouring, or facial balancing. This certification demonstrates plastic surgery expertise and adherence to the highest medical standards.
  • Experience with Gender-Affirming Procedures: Ask about your surgeon’s experience performing gender-affirming surgeries, including the specific procedure you seek. Dr. Mabourakh is always happy to discuss methods and detail his expertise to help you feel at ease before your procedure.
  • Compassionate Care: Compassion is always important when choosing a surgeon, but it becomes paramount when selecting a plastic surgeon for gender-affirming procedures. This is a time in your life when you need empathetic understanding and support. Choose a surgeon who listens to you and values your input. Feeling heard and respected is a critical part of the process.
