Gender Affirming Surgeries for Trans Patients

Gender surgeries alter the physical appearance of the body to address concerns such as gender dysphoria, where a person’s physical features do not match with the gender they mentally and emotionally relate to. Transgender men and non-binary patients may opt for FTM Top Surgery , which involves the surgeon removing the breasts, in a procedure known as a Mastectomy. This creates a flatter, more masculine looking chest. MTF Top Surgery creates a more feminine chest for trans women, using breast implants or fat transfer techniques, in a breast enlargement procedure. Gender top surgeries also regularly address the position, size, and shape of the nipples to ensure the final result is flattering and suits the overall body. Some MTF patients also choose to undergo facial feminisation surgery , which is a bespoke approach to softening the more traditional mascluine appearance of the facial bone structure and soft tissues. Gender affirmation surgery allows the patient to express themselves confidently, including being able to dress in the way that feels most comfortable such as being able to wear swimwear or sportswear that reflects their gender.

View All Gender Surgery Treatments (4)

Gender dysphoria can be a very uncomfortable feeling for a lot of people. Sometimes these feelings can cause a great deal of mental distress, anxiety and depression. This can have an overwhelmingly negative impact on a person’s day-to-day life.

Gender reassignment surgery is used to help the person concerned to resolve this disconnect by permanently altering the body parts associated with their biological sex. 

There are a number of different surgeries that fall under the category of gender reassignment. Top surgery encompasses surgery that is carried on the upper half of the body. This includes mastectomy (breast removal) and nipple repositioning in transmen and breast augmentation in transwomen. 

We offer gender reassignment surgery UK here at the Cadogan Clinic in Chelsea, London, and encourage any trans or non-binary patients seeking a safe top surgery procedure to contact us to arrange an initial consultation. Our team of experts will ensure that you will be treated with respect and dignity at all times during your treatment with us, as we acknowledge that these affirming surgeries are not strictly cosmetic surgery , but a new source of freedom.

Doctor Inglefield

Meet Mr. Inglefield

Education, treatment, and support to achieve lasting contentment with your gendered self.

I established The London Transgender Clinic in 2015 in response to a noticeable increase in enquires from transgender and non-binary patients. Many of these patients were unable to access quality and timely care from the overwhelmed NHS gender services, resulting in high levels of anxiety and stress with suicide and self-harm a major risk. With 15 years of experience in transgender surgery, I wanted to set up a dedicated specialist team providing holistic care to enable individuals to get to the next stepping stone of their transition, with many services provided under one roof.

My team and I are proud to be part of the journey of so many and the positive feedback received over the years has been incredibly motivating. Many praise the exceptionally high standards of care and their improved confidence, health, and overall wellbeing.

This has spurred me to do more and the future is exciting. We will continue to set up our Centre of Excellence using the latest research and innovative technologies. The goal is to treat, support, train and educate the wider community including patients, family, friends, other health professionals, and employers. Plans include the opening of new clinics in Hatfield, Manchester, and Dublin.

Before and Afters

Patient Testimonials

"After 9460 days in the wrong body, Christopher Inglefield and the amazing team at London Transgender Clinic changed my life forever. All my life, I never got to develop a relationship with my body because I knew all along it wasn’t mine to begin with. I existed through the years in a survival mode where living in my head became the only place I felt free to be me and so good at it I became that my external reality didn’t matter. Until one day I decided it did! From first flicking that switch in my head, to having my first consultation, to right up until and after my surgery - the entire team have been nothing short of incredible.I didn’t have much of a life before, but now I have a future and for that I’ll forever be grateful"

"When I arrived I was pleased with the cleanliness of the the clinic. I then met Natalie who was carrying out my appointment. She made me feel really relaxed and comfortable. I really enjoyed my time with Natalie as she made the effort to chat with me and made sure I understood everything that was going on. My appointment went well and I can't fault anything. I am looking forward to returning to the London transgender clinic. "

"I spoke with Natalie and Mary Burke and they were absolutely lovely and very professional. Everything I needed to do and bring was made clear, and they were fast, efficient, friendly and so helpful! Would really recommend them. "

Treatment - Gender dysphoria

Treatment for gender dysphoria aims to help people live the way they want to, in their preferred gender identity or as non-binary.

What this means will vary from person to person, and is different for children, young people and adults. Waiting times for referral and treatment are currently long.

Treatment for children and young people

If your child may have gender dysphoria, they'll usually be referred to one of the NHS Children and Young People's Gender Services .

Your child or teenager will be seen by a multidisciplinary team including a:

  • clinical psychologist
  • child psychotherapist
  • child and adolescent psychiatrist
  • family therapist
  • social worker

The team will carry out a detailed assessment, usually over 3 to 6 appointments over a period of several months.

Depending on the results of the assessment, options for children and teenagers include:

  • family therapy
  • individual child psychotherapy
  • parental support or counselling
  • group work for young people and their parents
  • regular reviews to monitor gender identity development
  • referral to a local Children and Young People's Mental Health Service (CYPMHS) for more serious emotional issues

Most treatments offered at this stage are psychological rather than medical. This is because in many cases gender variant behaviour or feelings disappear as children reach puberty.

Hormone therapy in children and young people

Some young people with lasting signs of gender dysphoria who meet strict criteria may be referred to a hormone specialist (consultant endocrinologist). This is in addition to psychological support.

Puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones

Puberty blockers (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues) are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness.

From around the age of 16, young people with a diagnosis of gender incongruence or gender dysphoria who meet various clinical criteria may be given gender-affirming hormones alongside psychosocial and psychological support.

These hormones cause some irreversible changes, such as:

  • breast development (caused by taking oestrogen)
  • breaking or deepening of the voice (caused by taking testosterone)

Long-term gender-affirming hormone treatment may cause temporary or even permanent infertility.

However, as gender-affirming hormones affect people differently, they should not be considered a reliable form of contraception.

There is some uncertainty about the risks of long-term gender-affirming hormone treatment.

Children, young people and their families are strongly discouraged from getting puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones from unregulated sources or online providers that are not regulated by UK regulatory bodies.

Transition to adult gender identity services

Young people aged 17 or older may be seen in an adult gender identity clinic or be referred to one from a children and young people's gender service.

By this age, a teenager and the clinic team may be more confident about confirming a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. If desired, steps can be taken to more permanent treatments that fit with the chosen gender identity or as non-binary.

Treatment for adults

Adults who think they may have gender dysphoria should be referred to a gender dysphoria clinic (GDC).

Find an NHS gender dysphoria clinic in England .

GDCs have a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, who offer ongoing assessments, treatments, support and advice, including:

  • psychological support, such as counselling
  • cross-sex hormone therapy
  • speech and language therapy (voice therapy) to help you sound more typical of your gender identity

For some people, support and advice from the clinic are all they need to feel comfortable with their gender identity. Others will need more extensive treatment.

Hormone therapy for adults

The aim of hormone therapy is to make you more comfortable with yourself, both in terms of physical appearance and how you feel. The hormones usually need to be taken for the rest of your life, even if you have gender surgery.

It's important to remember that hormone therapy is only one of the treatments for gender dysphoria. Others include voice therapy and psychological support. The decision to have hormone therapy will be taken after a discussion between you and your clinic team.

In general, people wanting masculinisation usually take testosterone and people after feminisation usually take oestrogen.

Both usually have the additional effect of suppressing the release of "unwanted" hormones from the testes or ovaries.

Whatever hormone therapy is used, it can take several months for hormone therapy to be effective, which can be frustrating.

It's also important to remember what it cannot change, such as your height or how wide or narrow your shoulders are.

The effectiveness of hormone therapy is also limited by factors unique to the individual (such as genetic factors) that cannot be overcome simply by adjusting the dose.

Find out how to save money on prescriptions for hormone therapy medicines with a prescription prepayment certificate .

Risks of hormone therapy

There is some uncertainty about the risks of long-term cross-sex hormone treatment. The clinic will discuss these with you and the importance of regular monitoring blood tests with your GP.

The most common risks or side effects include:

  • blood clots
  • weight gain
  • dyslipidaemia (abnormal levels of fat in the blood)
  • elevated liver enzymes
  • polycythaemia (high concentration of red blood cells)
  • hair loss or balding (androgenic alopecia)

There are other risks if you're taking hormones bought over the internet or from unregulated sources. It's strongly recommended you avoid these.

Long-term cross-sex hormone treatment may also lead, eventually, to infertility, even if treatment is stopped.

The GP can help you with advice about gamete storage. This is the harvesting and storing of eggs or sperm for your future use.

Gamete storage is sometimes available on the NHS. It cannot be provided by the gender dysphoria clinic.

Read more about fertility preservation on the HFEA website.

Surgery for adults

Some people may decide to have surgery to permanently alter body parts associated with their biological sex.

Based on the recommendations of doctors at the gender dysphoria clinic, you will be referred to a surgeon outside the clinic who is an expert in this type of surgery.

In addition to you having socially transitioned to your preferred gender identity for at least a year before a referral is made for gender surgery, it is also advisable to:

  • lose weight if you are overweight (BMI of 25 or over)
  • have taken cross-sex hormones for some surgical procedures

It's also important that any long-term conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, are well controlled.

Surgery for trans men

Common chest procedures for trans men (trans-masculine people) include:

  • removal of both breasts (bilateral mastectomy) and associated chest reconstruction
  • nipple repositioning
  • dermal implant and tattoo

Gender surgery for trans men includes:

  • construction of a penis (phalloplasty or metoidioplasty)
  • construction of a scrotum (scrotoplasty) and testicular implants
  • a penile implant

Removal of the womb (hysterectomy) and the ovaries and fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy) may also be considered.

Surgery for trans women

Gender surgery for trans women includes:

  • removal of the testes (orchidectomy)
  • removal of the penis (penectomy)
  • construction of a vagina (vaginoplasty)
  • construction of a vulva (vulvoplasty)
  • construction of a clitoris (clitoroplasty)

Breast implants for trans women (trans-feminine people) are not routinely available on the NHS.

Facial feminisation surgery and hair transplants are not routinely available on the NHS.

As with all surgical procedures there can be complications. Your surgeon should discuss the risks and limitations of surgery with you before you consent to the procedure.

Life after transition

Whether you've had hormone therapy alone or combined with surgery, the aim is that you no longer have gender dysphoria and feel at ease with your identity.

Your health needs are the same as anyone else's with a few exceptions:

  • you'll need lifelong monitoring of your hormone levels by your GP
  • you'll still need contraception if you are sexually active and have not yet had any gender surgery
  • you'll need to let your optician and dentist know if you're on hormone therapy as this may affect your treatment
  • you may not be called for screening tests as you've changed your name on medical records – ask your GP to notify you for cervical and breast screening if you're a trans man with a cervix or breast tissue
  • trans-feminine people with breast tissue (and registered with a GP as female) are routinely invited for breast screening from the ages of 50 up to 71

Find out more about screening for trans and non-binary people on GOV.UK.

NHS guidelines for gender dysphoria

NHS England has published what are known as service specifications that describe how clinical and medical care is offered to people with gender dysphoria:

  • Non-surgical interventions for adults
  • Surgical interventions for adults
  • Interim service specification for specialist gender incongruence services for children and young people

Review of gender identity services

NHS England has commissioned an independent review of gender identity services for children and young people. The review will advise on any changes needed to the service specifications for children and young people.

For someone who is 48 years old and seeking to transition from male to female, it's important to consult with an endocrinologist before starting any hormone therapy. They will guide you on the appropriate medications and dosages based on your specific needs.

if I have top surgery without T can I develop pecs if I hit the gym a lot?

If you don't take testosterone or undergo top surgery, you can still build your pecs by lifting weights. Pecs, short for pectoral muscles, can grow with exercises like chest presses and push-ups, which target these muscles. Pace yourself, use the correct form, and be consistent with your workouts. Your pecs can still develop even without testosterone.

I'm male and would like to know how to grow breasts without HRT?

Hormones and surgery are the only ways of growing breasts safely. The appearance of women's breasts in some regions is partly dependent on hormones during puberty and pregnancy. Trying to get a larger breast by force can cause some serious medical issues. If you are worried about your body, it's important to talk to a plastic surgeon for safe and honest guidance.

It seems like you may be going through some changes about turning into the opposite sex. Understand that these changes are complicated and might need some medical interventions. You might require different amounts of hormones to help you through the process. Talk about what is bothering you and your symptoms with a doctor who can help you figure out the best way forward.

What is gender reassignment surgery?

Gender reassignment surgery is any surgical procedure involved in facilitating a male-to-female (MtF) or female-to-male (FtM) transition . Gender reassignment surgery is complex and can involve a number of separate procedures, carried out over several operations.

gender reassignment surgery male to female cost uk

When is gender reassignment surgery required?

Surgery is generally the last step of a person’s transition. In the UK, to receive gender reassignment surgery through the NHS you need to first spend twelve months living in a social role appropriate to your gender identity. Gender reassignment surgery also comes after any hormonal treatment you have received, whether oestrogen (for MtF transitions) or testosterone (for FtM transitions).

What does it involve?

The exact procedures involved depend on whether you are undergoing a MtF or FtM transiton:

Male-to-female transition

The procedures involved in a male-to-female transition include:

  • removal of the penis and testes
  • breast implants
  • construction of a vagina, vulva and clitoris – usually from the skin from the penis
  • surgery on the face to make it more feminine
  • in some cases, the removal of the prostate gland

Female-to-male transition

The procedures involved in a female-to-male transition include:

  • removal of the breasts
  • removal of the womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes
  • construction of a penis and testes – using vaginal tissue and skin from the forearm
  • a penile implant

In both forms of surgery, the aim is to retain sexual sensation and function.

The extent of follow-up care depends on how much surgery you elect to have and where you have the procedure. It is very likely you will receive psychotherapy to help you adjust to your new body and lifestyle.

Gender Confirmation Surgery (GCS)

What is Gender Confirmation Surgery?

  • Transfeminine Tr

Transmasculine Transition

  • Traveling Abroad

Choosing a Surgeon

Gender confirmation surgery (GCS), known clinically as genitoplasty, are procedures that surgically confirm a person's gender by altering the genitalia and other physical features to align with their desired physical characteristics. Gender confirmation surgeries are also called gender affirmation procedures. These are both respectful terms.

Gender dysphoria , an experience of misalignment between gender and sex, is becoming more widely diagnosed.  People diagnosed with gender dysphoria are often referred to as "transgender," though one does not necessarily need to experience gender dysphoria to be a member of the transgender community. It is important to note there is controversy around the gender dysphoria diagnosis. Many disapprove of it, noting that the diagnosis suggests that being transgender is an illness.

Ellen Lindner / Verywell

Transfeminine Transition

Transfeminine is a term inclusive of trans women and non-binary trans people assigned male at birth.

Gender confirmation procedures that a transfeminine person may undergo include:

  • Penectomy is the surgical removal of external male genitalia.
  • Orchiectomy is the surgical removal of the testes.
  • Vaginoplasty is the surgical creation of a vagina.
  • Feminizing genitoplasty creates internal female genitalia.
  • Breast implants create breasts.
  • Gluteoplasty increases buttock volume.
  • Chondrolaryngoplasty is a procedure on the throat that can minimize the appearance of Adam's apple .

Feminizing hormones are commonly used for at least 12 months prior to breast augmentation to maximize breast growth and achieve a better surgical outcome. They are also often used for approximately 12 months prior to feminizing genital surgeries.

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is often done to soften the lines of the face. FFS can include softening the brow line, rhinoplasty (nose job), smoothing the jaw and forehead, and altering the cheekbones. Each person is unique and the procedures that are done are based on the individual's need and budget,

Transmasculine is a term inclusive of trans men and non-binary trans people assigned female at birth.

Gender confirmation procedures that a transmasculine person may undergo include:

  • Masculinizing genitoplasty is the surgical creation of external genitalia. This procedure uses the tissue of the labia to create a penis.
  • Phalloplasty is the surgical construction of a penis using a skin graft from the forearm, thigh, or upper back.
  • Metoidioplasty is the creation of a penis from the hormonally enlarged clitoris.
  • Scrotoplasty is the creation of a scrotum.

Procedures that change the genitalia are performed with other procedures, which may be extensive.

The change to a masculine appearance may also include hormone therapy with testosterone, a mastectomy (surgical removal of the breasts), hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus), and perhaps additional cosmetic procedures intended to masculinize the appearance.

Paying For Gender Confirmation Surgery

Medicare and some health insurance providers in the United States may cover a portion of the cost of gender confirmation surgery.

It is unlawful to discriminate or withhold healthcare based on sex or gender. However, many plans do have exclusions.

For most transgender individuals, the burden of financing the procedure(s) is the main difficulty in obtaining treatment. The cost of transitioning can often exceed $100,000 in the United States, depending upon the procedures needed.

A typical genitoplasty alone averages about $18,000. Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, averaged $5,409 in 2019.  

Traveling Abroad for GCS

Some patients seek gender confirmation surgery overseas, as the procedures can be less expensive in some other countries. It is important to remember that traveling to a foreign country for surgery, also known as surgery tourism, can be very risky.

Regardless of where the surgery will be performed, it is essential that your surgeon is skilled in the procedure being performed and that your surgery will be performed in a reputable facility that offers high-quality care.

When choosing a surgeon , it is important to do your research, whether the surgery is performed in the U.S. or elsewhere. Talk to people who have already had the procedure and ask about their experience and their surgeon.

Before and after photos don't tell the whole story, and can easily be altered, so consider asking for a patient reference with whom you can speak.

It is important to remember that surgeons have specialties and to stick with your surgeon's specialty. For example, you may choose to have one surgeon perform a genitoplasty, but another to perform facial surgeries. This may result in more expenses, but it can result in a better outcome.

A Word From Verywell

Gender confirmation surgery is very complex, and the procedures that one person needs to achieve their desired result can be very different from what another person wants.

Each individual's goals for their appearance will be different. For example, one individual may feel strongly that breast implants are essential to having a desirable and feminine appearance, while a different person may not feel that breast size is a concern. A personalized approach is essential to satisfaction because personal appearance is so highly individualized.

Procedure: Male to Female Gender Reassignment Surgery (MTF GRS)

Male-to-female gender reassignment surgery (MTF GRS) is a complex and irreversible genital surgery for male transsexual who is diagnosed with gender identity disorder and has a strong desire to live as female. The procedure is to remove all male genital organs including the penis and testes with the construction of female genitalia composed of labia major/minor, clitoris and neovagina simultaneously.   

The patient who is fit for this surgery must strictly follow the standard of care set by the World Professional Association of Transgender Healthcare (WPATH) or equivalent criteria; Express desire or live in another gender role (Male gender) long enough, under hormonal replacement therapy, evaluated and approved by a psychiatrist or other qualified professional gender therapist.  

Apart from genital surgery, the patient would seek other procedures to allow them to live as female smoothly such as breast aesthetic surgery, facial feminization surgery, body contouring, hair removal, voice change surgery, etc.

Interested in having this procedure?

Useful Information

Ensure you consider all aspects of a procedure. You can speak to your surgeon about these areas of the surgery in more detail during a consultation.

The surgery is quite complicated and only a handful of surgeons are able to perform this procedure. It can be completed in one stage or more stages depending on techniques and surgeons. The average surgical time ranges between 5-8 hours. There are several options of neovaginal construction depending on the type of tissue, single or in combination, such as penile skin, scrotal skin, large intestine, small intestine, or peritoneum.   

The procedure is done under general anesthesia and might be combined with spinal anesthesia for faster recovery by reducing the usage of anesthetic gas.  

Inpatient/Outpatient

The patient will be hospitalized as an in-patient for between 5-14 days depending on the technique and surgeon. The patient will have a urinary catheter at all times in the hospital.  

Additional Information

What is the recovery process.

During hospitalization, the patient must be restricted in bed continuously or intermittently for several days between 3-5 days. After release from the hospital, the patient can return to their normal lives but not have to do physical exercise during the first 2 months after surgery. The patient has to do vaginal dilation continuously for 6 months to maintain the neovagina canal until completely healed and is ready for sexual intimacy.  

What are the results?

With the good surgical technique, the result is very satisfying with an improved quality of life. The patient is able to live in a female role completely and happily either on their own or with their male or female partners.  

What are the risks?

The most frequent complication of MTF GRS is bleeding, wound infection, skin flap or graft necrosis, urinary stenosis, neovaginal contracture, unsightly scar or deformed genitalia,  vaginal fistula, etc. The revision procedures to improve external appearance are composed of secondary labiaplasty/ urethroplasty/ perineoplasty/ and vulvaplasty. The other revision procedure is secondary vaginoplasty to help the patient able to have sexual intimacy with the partner.

How to afford transgender surgery expenses.

Taylor Medine

Updated: Nov 11, 2022, 2:00pm

How To Afford Transgender Surgery Expenses

Transgender surgeries—also called gender affirmation or gender confirmation surgeries—are medical procedures you can undergo to affirm your gender identity.

The cost of these kinds of surgeries are often steep, and health insurance coverage for them can vary by policy. “Even if a procedure is covered by insurance, there are still deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums,” said Wynne Nowland, CEO of Bradley & Parker, who transitioned at 56. Surgeries that are solely cosmetic might not be covered by insurance at all.

The good news is that several financing options are available to help you pay for procedures. Some organizations even offer grants and scholarships that can help you afford surgery costs.

How Much Does Transgender Surgery Cost?

The cost of transgender surgery can vary by provider and the type of surgery you choose to get. For a female-to-male transition, masculinization chest surgery (also known as top surgery) might cost $3,000 to $10,000 while chest surgery for a male-to-female transition could cost $5,000 to $10,000, according to Longwood Plastic Surgery.

Bottom surgeries, such as vaginoplasty or phalloplasty, can cost $25,600 and $24,900, respectively, according to estimates from The Philadelphia Center for Transgender Surgery. Additional procedures can increase the transition expenses from there. Aside from the actual surgery cost, other hidden expenses can arise as well.

For example, you could need help at home while in recovery if you don’t have a good support system, according to Nowland. There may also be travel and hotel expenses, which are typically not covered by insurance. Nowland says the best way to prepare for surgery is to reach out to insurance to discuss coverage and plan on saving the funds you’ll need to proceed.

If you’re considering borrowing money to pay for surgery and recovery costs, here are four options to consider.

Related: Does Being Transgender Affect Life Insurance?

4 Ways to Finance Transgender Surgery Costs

Personal loans, credit cards, medical credit cards and home equity loans are products you could use to pay for transgender surgery costs over time. Here’s what you need to know about each:

Personal loans are typically unsecured installment loans that provide a lump sum you can use for almost any legal personal expense, including medical bills. Lenders may offer loans of $1,000 to $100,000. However, your credit and income can affect how much you can borrow and your interest rate.

The average annual percentage rate (APR) for a five-year personal loan is 15.93% as of Sept. 19, 2022, but rates can go up to 36% APR. The good news is that many lenders let you prequalify for personal loans online without a hard credit check , allowing you to shop around for rates and compare costs before borrowing.

Credit Cards

Credit cards give you access to a credit line you can use to cover medical bills. You’ll then pay off the balance over time. While certain credit cards have annual fees, many don’t. Some credit cards even offer an introductory 0% APR for a number of months when you open a new account.

Standard interest applies after the interest-free period, but charging and paying off procedures during the interest-free period could be an affordable way to finance bills. That said, credit cards are usually best for expenses you can repay relatively quickly since interest rates can be higher than personal loans, so maintaining a high balance over several years can get costly.

Medical Credit Cards

Medical credit cards are designed specifically for medical bills and could be a financing option recommended by your doctor’s office.

CareCredit is a popular medical credit card that offers no-interest financing plans of six, 12, 18 or 24 months on transactions over $200. There’s a catch, though: If you don’t pay off the balance during the financing period, interest is charged retroactively from the time of your purchase.

For purchases of at least $1,000, CareCredit offers extended financing terms of 24, 36, 48 or 60 months. The APR for payment plans is fixed and ranges from 14.90% to 17.90%, depending on how much you borrow and the loan term you choose.

Home Equity Loans or Lines of Credit

If you own a house, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are ways to borrow from the equity you’ve built up. Here’s how both of these options work:

  • Home equity loans: A home equity loan is an installment loan that lets you borrow money in a lump sum, which you could use to cover transgender surgery costs. Homeowners are typically able to borrow up to 85% of home equity, and loan terms can range from five to 30 years.
  • HELOCs: These are lines of credit you can draw from and pay down with a variable interest rate. A HELOC could be a better alternative to a home equity loan if you have ongoing costs as it will give you the flexibility to borrow only what you need and pay it back as you go.

The advantage of home equity products for medical expenses is that interest rates may be lower than unsecured personal loans since the collateral (your home) backing minimizes risk for the lender.

However, since your home secures the transaction, you could lose your house if you can’t keep up with loan payments. If the value of your home decreases, there’s also a chance you could go underwater on the house if you end up owing more on your mortgage and loan than the home is worth.

Can You Get Transgender Surgery Grants?

Several organizations offer grants to help cover transition costs, including gender-affirming surgery, which is money you don’t have to pay back. Requirements for grant funding can vary, but in some cases, you need to show that you’ve saved up some money on your own for the surgery to be awarded money. Here are a few examples of organizations offering grants:

  • Jim Collins Foundation : The Jim Collins Foundation offers two grants. General Fund grants can cover all gender-affirming surgery costs while Krysallis Anne Hembrough Legacy Fund grants can cover 50% of surgery costs for recipients who match the grant funds awarded.
  • Point of Pride : Point of Pride offers an annual scholarship-like program that provides financial assistance for gender-affirming surgery.
  • The Loft LGBTQ+ Community Center : TransMission grant funds through the Loft LGBTQ+ Community Center aren’t enough to cover the full cost of surgery. However, grants may be used to help pay for therapy, hormones and other transition expenses.

Tips to Pay For Transgender Surgery Expenses

As you come up with a plan and explore ways to pay for surgeries, here are a few tips to consider:

  • Double-check your insurance policy. Read policy terms carefully and reach out to your insurer to ask about what surgeries are covered. “Like all covered insurance procedures, expect to deal with some red tape, but your patience in doing so will be worth it,” said Nowland.
  • Use a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA). HSAs and FSAs are both tax-advantaged accounts designed to help you stash money for medical expenses, which could include gender-affirming surgeries. You can make pre-tax contributions to both accounts from your salary if you set them up with your employer. If you set up an HSA on your own, you can deduct contributions from your tax return.
  • Consider crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is when you set up a campaign to raise funds. If you prefer to keep medical procedures private, creating a campaign and asking for donations may not be the right route to take. But if you feel comfortable sharing your story, setting up a GoFundMe or Fundly fundraising page could be a way to cover the cost of your surgeries. Bonfire is another site you can use to fundraise by selling customized t-shirts.
  • Get support from family and peers. If you have friends or family able to gift or loan you money, it can be more affordable than taking out a loan from a bank, online lender or credit union.

How to Save Up for Gender Affirming Surgery

Using a combination of funding sources is a strategy that could help you rely less heavily on loans.

Different surgeons charge different fees, so compare prices to project costs. From there, you can determine how much you’ll need to save and by when. If you don’t use an FSA or HSA to save, consider stashing your savings for surgery in a high-yield savings account so your savings earn more interest than it would in a traditional savings account.

Certain savings tools can make setting aside money easier. For example, banks often have recurring transfer features you can set up to automatically move money from a checking account to your savings on a schedule. Plus, savings apps like Digit exist, which can connect to your bank account, use an algorithm to review your cash flow and put spare money away for you automatically. Your savings can grow over time, so you can pay for treatment and surgery as you go.

How Much Does Gender-Affirming Surgery Cost?

Gender-affirming care encompasses a broad range of psychological, behavioral and medical treatments for transgender, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming people.

The care is designed to “support and affirm an individual’s gender identity” when it is at odds with the sex they were assigned at birth, as defined by the World Health Organization.

What is gender-affirming surgery?

Gender-affirming surgery refers to the surgical and cosmetic procedures that give transgender and nonbinary people “the physical appearance and functional abilities of the gender they know themselves to be,” according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It is sometimes called gender reassignment surgery.

There are three main types of gender-affirming surgeries, per the Cleveland Clinic:

Top surgery , in which a surgeon either removes a person’s breast tissue for a more traditionally masculine appearance or shapes a person’s breast tissue for a more traditionally feminine appearance. 

Bottom surgery , or the reconstruction of the genitals to better align with a person’s gender identity.

Facial feminization or masculinization surgery , in which the bones and soft tissue of a person’s face are transformed for either a more traditionally masculine or feminine appearance.   

Some people who undergo gender-affirming surgeries also use specific hormone therapies. A trans woman or nonbinary person on feminizing hormone therapy, for example, takes estrogen that’s paired with a substance that blocks testosterone. And a trans man or nonbinary person on masculinizing hormone therapy takes testosterone.

Gender-affirming surgeries and treatments are the recommended course of treatment for gender dysphoria by the American Medical Association. Gender dysphoria is defined as “clinically significant distress or impairment related to gender incongruence, which may include desire to change primary and/or secondary sex characteristics,” according to the American Psychiatric Association.

Some LGBTQ+ advocates and medical professionals feel that gender dysphoria shouldn't be treated as a mental disorder, and worry that gender dysphoria’s inclusion in the DSM-5 — the authoritative source on recognized mental health disorders for the psychiatric industry — stigmatizes trans and nonbinary people.

How much does gender-affirming surgery cost?

Gender-affirming surgery can cost between $6,900 and $63,400 depending on the precise procedure, according to a 2022 study published in The Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics.

Out-of-pocket costs can vary dramatically, though, depending on whether you have insurance and whether your insurance company covers gender-affirming surgeries.

There are also costs associated with the surgery that may not be represented in these estimates. Additional costs may include:

Surgeons fees

Hospital fees

Consultation fees

Insurance copays

The cost of psychiatric care or therapy, as most insurance companies and surgeons require at least one referral letter prior to the surgery. An hour of therapy can cost between $65 and $250, according to Good Therapy, an online platform for therapists and counselors. 

Time off work. After bottom surgery, you can expect to miss six weeks of work while recovering. Most people miss around two weeks of work after top surgery. 

Miscellaneous goods that’ll help you recover. For example, after bottom surgery, you might need to invest in a shower stool, waterproof bed sheets, cheap underwear and sanitary towels. Top surgery patients may need, depending on the procedure, a mastectomy pillow, chest binder and baggy clothes.

Is gender-affirming surgery covered by insurance?

It’s illegal for any federally funded health insurance program to deny coverage on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation or sexual characteristics, per Section 1557, a section of the Affordable Care Act. Section 1557 doesn’t apply to private insurance companies, though, and several U.S. states have passed laws banning gender-affirming care.

The following states have banned gender-affirming surgery for people under 18 years old, according to the Human Rights Campaign: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia. In four of these states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Indiana — court injunctions are currently ensuring access to care.

And these states have either passed laws — or have governors who issued executive orders — protecting access to gender-affirming surgery, according to the Movement Advancement Project, a public policy nonprofit: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, D.C.

But even if your state has enshrined protections for gender-affirming care, some private insurance companies may consider surgeries “cosmetic” and therefore “not medically necessary,” according to the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund. If you have private insurance or are insured through your employer, contact your insurance company and see if they cover gender-affirming care. Also, ask about any documentation the insurance company requires for coverage.

The Williams Institute estimates that 14% of trans Americans currently enrolled in Medicaid live in states where such coverage is banned, while another 27% of trans Americans live in states where coverage is “uncertain,” because their state laws are “silent or unclear on coverage for gender-affirming care.”

Because of Section 1557, Medicaid is federally banned from denying coverage on the basis of sex or gender; among the roughly 1.3 million transgender Americans, around 276,000 have Medicaid coverage, according to a 2022 report from the Williams Institute.

How to pay for gender-affirming surgery

If your private insurance company won’t cover gender-affirming care, and you’re unable to obtain coverage through the federal marketplace, consider these sources:

Online personal loan.

Credit union personal loan.

Credit card.

CareCredit.

Home equity line of credit.

Family loan.

There are also several nonprofits that offer financial assistance for gender-affirmation surgeries. Those organizations include:

Point of Pride , which offers grants and scholarships to trans and nonbinary people seeking gender-affirming surgery and care.

The Jim Collins Foundation , which raises money to fund gender-affirming surgeries. 

Genderbands , which offers grants for gender-affirming surgeries and care. 

Black Transmen Inc. , which funds gender-affirming surgeries for Black trans men.
