Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Eisemann is honored to assist transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people living in Houston, Texas and throughout the world give physical shape to their internal form.

For over a decade, Dr. Eisemann has performed both feminizing surgery and masculinizing surgery above the waist transformations, and is recognized by the Transgender Community as a welcoming and understanding surgeon who proudly adheres to the standards of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

Candidacy for Transgender Surgery

When a person’s gender is aligned with their body, they have a greater sense of well-being and a greater opportunity to move forward in life. At Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center, we believe it is important to establish equal access to quality healthcare for transgender patients.

You should not be subjected to verbal abuse, derision or denial of care simply because your psychological gender is opposite to your anatomic sex. In a consultation with Dr. Michael Eisemann or Dr. Bradley Eisemann, you can discuss your expectations openly, without fear of judgement, and expect honest and useful information in return. Dr. Michael Eisemann and Dr. Bradley Eisemann will take all of the time necessary to make sure you understand exactly what the process will look like for you.

To be a good candidate for transgender surgery, you will need to:

  • Meet WPATH prequalification
  • Be in generally good physical health
  • Be a nonsmoker
  • Be prepared for a surgical procedure and recovery time
  • Be willing to follow pre and postoperative instructions

If you are not interested in an irreversible male-to-female or female-to-male transformation, Dr. Eisemann can discuss reversible transgender treatments such as pubertal blockers, along with partial reversible treatments, such as hormone therapy. Both surgical and nonsurgical transgender patients must obtain at least one letter from a licensed medical health professional prior to treatment.

If you are transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming and interested in learning about your surgical options, please contact the Eisemann Plastic Surgery Center or call (713) 790-1771 today to schedule a consultation with our compassionate plastic surgeon. We help individuals living in Houston and throughout the country meet their goals through personal attention and services designed to address the specific concerns of each unique individual.

If you have questions about what will be required prior to your surgery or would simply like to discuss your options, please contact our experienced Houston transgender plastic surgeon to schedule a consultation today. Transgender procedures are performed in Dr. Eisemann’s accredited surgical facility in Houston, Texas where we are honored to accept transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming patients from across the globe. 

WPATH Standards of Care in Houston

WPATH standards of care require that a medical professional such as a psychologist or therapist, sexologist, or physician who prescribes gender transition related hormones, provide a referral prior to any surgical procedure. This professional must have recently been in regular contact with you to qualify as a referral.

Dr. Eisemann will work directly with any medical professionals you are currently seeing to make sure you receive the most effective treatment possible.

If you are approaching your medical provider about this referral, please bear in mind that WPATH standards require a letter contain:

  • Your general identifying characteristics
  • The results of your psychosocial assessment, including any diagnoses
  • The duration of your relationship with a mental health professional, including the type of evaluation and therapy or counseling to date
  • An explanation that the criteria for surgery have been met, and a brief description of the clinical rationale for supporting a request for surgery
  • A statement about the fact that informed consent has been obtained
  • A statement that the mental health professional is available for coordination of care and welcomes a phone call to establish this
