Gender-affirming
surgical care,
practiced with care.
A patient's guide to facial feminization surgery and transfeminine top surgery with Kongkrit Chaiyasate, MD, FACS — serving the Midwest from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Choosing gender-affirming surgery is one of the most considered decisions a person makes. The pages that follow explain—in plain language—what facial feminization and transfeminine top surgery involve, the WPATH-aligned criteria we follow, what insurance typically covers in Michigan, how to prepare, and what to expect through recovery.
"Our role is not only to perform safe and elegant surgery, but to make every patient feel seen, prepared, and held throughout their entire journey."
