Inside Chrysalis Surgery
Our philosophy

The only fully multidisciplinary gender-affirming surgery clinic

Chrysalis Surgery is the only fully multidisciplinary gender-affirming surgery clinic encompassing surgical and medical facets of gender-affirming care under one roof. Not a single-surgeon FFS clinic. Not a general plastic surgery practice that treats gender-affirming patients as an add-on. Not a clinic that refers out core procedures.

A place built entirely around comprehensive gender-affirming care — where facial feminization, voice feminization, top surgery, bottom surgery, body contouring, and integrated voice therapy are available from a unified surgical team on site.

What sets us apart

  • No referral-outs for core procedures. Most clinics send FFS, top, and bottom to separate practices. Here, the team coordinates together.
  • Insurance-accessible. We work with Medi-Cal, LA Care, IEHP, and private insurers — consultations should not require six figures in savings.
  • Integrated voice care. Voice therapy and voice surgery live alongside the rest of your surgical plan.

Brand promise: comprehensive gender-affirming surgery — all specialties under one roof. Insurance-covered. Coordinated care. No referrals for core procedures.
