Gender Confirmation Center

Gender Confirmation Center You deserve to feel at home in your body. genderconfirmation.com Every person is an individual and every transformation is unique. We look forward to meeting you!

Years of work by leaders in the transgender community have led to sensible guidelines to help patients and their doctors make good decisions. Ultimately every decision needs to be personalized to each patient. The best choice of procedure, how and when hormones are appropriate, and which other care providers should be involved in surgery decisions are all areas which are tailored to your situation. Principles of responsibility always prevail, though of course one approach may be right for one Female-to-Male Surgery or Male-to-Female Surgery patient but may not work well for another. We work alongside you and your professional support system to maximize safety and responsibility, ultimately keeping your personal goals in mind at all times. Take a look around and educate yourself and then whenever you’re ready for the next step, please contact us for an in-person or a virtual consult. If you see anything about this gender confirmation surgery website that can be improved please tell us! The world of transgender surgery treatment is ever-evolving, and we strive to remain sensitive and up to date.

At the Gender Confirmation Center, we honor Black History Month - not just in February, but always.

Black trans and q***r history is foundational to Black history itself. It’s a story of resilience, creativity, and resistance that continues to shape culture, community, and the ongoing fight for justice. These contributions are not confined to the past... they are alive, evolving, and leading us forward.

This month, and every month, we celebrate and uplift the brilliance, strength, and joy of Black trans and q***r lives! Black history is living history.

In this segment of In Good Hands, Dr. Ley reflects on how gender-affirming surgery - particularly bottom surgery - has evolved over the past decade, and why having choices matters.

This photo set shows a 6 month post-op result following double incision top surgery with ni**le grafts, performed by Dr. Karamanos.

At six months, swelling has continued to settle and scar maturation is underway, allowing the chest contour to become more defined over time. As with all procedures, results and healing timelines vary based on individual anatomy and aftercare.

A metoidioplasty or “meta” is a gender-affirming bottom surgery procedure. It involves releasing the erectile tissue (sometimes called the cl****is or phallus), which has often grown from testosterone hormone therapy, from its surrounding ligaments. This gives the patient’s natal erectile tissue a more prominent, forward position.

This illustration shows the two types of metas that Dr. Zara Ley offers. Dr. Ley is a board-certified surgeon, a transgender woman of color and former patient herself who offers a full-spectrum of gender-affirming surgeries (top surgery, facial surgery & body contouring as well). Please note that the illustration shows two of the most common types of metas; Dr. Ley can and has personalized metoidioplasty procedures to fit patients' unique goals.

A simple metoidioplasty procedure or simple meta involves releasing the enlarged cl****is or p***s from its surrounding ligaments. The p***s is then allowed to move into a more forward and elevated position. Skin grafts are taken from the l***a minora to cover the exposed part of the p***s, increasing its girth. Patients can opt to have skin grafts taken from another part of the body if they would like to preserve their l***a minora. The g***s or head of the p***s will still be exposed.

A complex meta is a metoidioplasty that involves a primary urethral lengthening (PUL). To perform the PUL, a skin graft is taken to lengthen the patient’s urethra. In doing so, the urethra will exit at the tip of the phallus, allowing the patient to urinate while standing. Dr. Ley requires that all patients who undergo a PUL also undergo a simultaneous vaginectomy (removal of the vaginal canal) to reduce the risk of urinary complications.

As the illustration shows, most complex meta patients choose to undergo a scrotoplasty alongside this procedure, which is the construction of a scrotal pouch, often made from skin grafts taken from the l***a. Later surgeries can add silicone testicular implants if a patient would like.
