Take Shape Plastic Surgery, PA offering support to the Transsexual Community



At Take Shape Plastic Surgery we are proud to offer Sex Reassignment Surgeries (SRS) thereby joining the other providers that perform hundreds of these surgeries every year in the United States. Sex Reassignment Surgery alters the physical appearance of an individual to more closely resemble that of the other sex. Take Shape offers free consultation for patients interested in Male to Female Surgery (MTF), Female to Male Surgery (FTM), and Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS).
Patients seeking surgical procedures to match their bodies to the identifying sex must first meet a series of psychological and medical qualifications. They must be healthy enough to endure the physical and psychological stress of surgery, usually have undergone at least 1 year of Hormone Replacement Treatment, and have had a Real Life Experience (RLE) for at least one year during which they live their lives as a member of their desired sex. It is also important for patients to have realistic goals and expectations of the final result and to have a complete understanding of the surgical process; its risks and complications and possible alternative options.

For patients seeking MTF surgery, we focus on Breast Augmentation and Buttock Enhancement (also called Brazilian Butt Lift) to create a more feminine contour. In addition to breast and buttock surgery, facial feminization surgery (FFS) procedures include Hairline Correction, Forehead Recontouring, Brow Lift, Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, Lip Lifts and Filling, Chin and Jaw Recontouring, and Thyroid Cartilage Reduction to create more feminine facial features. For patients seeking FTM surgery, Take Shape follows patients currently on Hormone Replacement Therapy (which adds hair and muscle mass) and offers them a Mastectomy to masculinize the chest and Buttock Reduction or Enhancement to create a more masculine body shape. Genital Reconstruction such as Vaginoplasty and Phalloplasty are not currently offered by Take Shape.
