Our Gender-Affirming Procedures
Dr. Ellis offers a curated selection of gender-affirming surgeries focused on the face and chest—two of the most visible and meaningful areas of transition. Each procedure is performed in an accredited surgical facility with a dedicated care team supporting you from consultation through recovery.
Facial Masculinization
Facial masculinization surgery sculpts stronger, more angular features through procedures such as forehead and brow contouring, jaw and chin augmentation, and Adam’s apple enhancement. Dr. Ellis customizes every plan to create a balanced, masculine appearance that complements your natural bone structure.
Facial Feminization
Facial feminization surgery softens and refines facial features to create a more feminine aesthetic. Techniques may include forehead reshaping, brow lift, rhinoplasty, lip lift, jaw and chin contouring, and tracheal shave. Dr. Ellis’s artistic approach prioritizes elegance, symmetry, and proportion.
Female to Male Top Surgery
Top surgery creates a flatter, more masculine chest contour through careful tissue removal and nipple repositioning. Dr. Ellis tailors each technique—whether double incision, periareolar, or keyhole—to deliver natural-looking results with minimized scarring.
