We follow the WPATH standards, which suggest that some surgeries can be performed on patients that are at least 16 years old while others should wait until the patient is 18. We recommend waiting until you have completed a series of counseling treatments to ensure you are ready to begin your physical transition, but every situation is different. We’ll consider your unique case at your consultation and determine if you’re a good candidate for gender-affirming surgery in Oklahoma City.

Gender Reaffirmation Surgery FAQs
Your decision to undergo surgery is entirely personal. Many patients choose surgery for a variety of reasons, while many other patients decide that surgery isn’t for them. We recommend talking through surgery in advance with us, your support network, and any relevant mental health experts if you’re serious about surgery.
At your initial consultation, we’ll talk through your case to discuss what surgeries might be best for you, but ultimately the decision is yours. We are experts in gender reaffirmation and can develop a custom treatment plan to help you meet your goals, but we want to make sure you will be happy and satisfied with the outcomes before any procedures.
