Most of the above linked pages of this site contain information regarding where to find surgeons for the particular surgeries mentioned. Additional miscellaneous resources regarding surgeons and surgery will be below. This site does not contain information on every possible surgery, nor does it provide information on every possible surgeon. Before getting any surgery of any kind, it is highly recommended that you research the surgeon you seek out beforehand, and be sure that they produce the results you seek.
Unfortunately, there is transphobia in the medical world. There are surgeons who specifically seek out transgender patients to give them "botch jobs" deliberately. Make sure to look up the name of your surgeon ahead of time, and look for reviews and photos from people who have actually gotten that surgery from that surgeon.

Bad Experiences
For lack of a better location on this site for posting bad experiences with particular surgeons, here you go. (Obviously this is not every bad surgeon that exists, but it contains some bad experiences as I come across them, or as they are submitted to be added. Like mentioned previously, always do research on whatever surgeon that you end up going to, even if they are mentioned elsewhere on this website in a positive manner. Always be careful with who handles your body in any context.)
