As previously noted, the incredibly positive impact that gender affirming top surgery has on a person with gender dysphoria can’t be overstated (Heartfelt Gratitude for Top Surgery Results). This is a truly life changing procedure, both emotionally and physically, for the vast majority of people who have undergone it.
Often suffering through years of depression, anxiety and worse – and making life more than miserable – the crushing and oppressive shackles of gender dysphoria are generally vaporized by the powerful effectiveness of top surgery.
We hear this from our patients all the time – both early on as well as long term after their surgery.
The lives of the vast majority of our patients are truly and positively transformed as a result of their gender affirming top surgery.
And they surely express their appreciation to us.
Knowing that we are truly making a positive difference in (so many) people’s lives is incredibly satisfying and rewarding for us.
The emotions, thoughts, confusion and more – related to gender dysphoria – are well expressed in the following creative and thoughtful letter of thanks written by a patient of mine.
