So You Want to Be a GENDER SURGEON [Ep. 35]

So you want to be a gender surgeon. You love the idea of creating new body parts and want to be one of the first surgeons to break into this up-and-coming field. Let’s debunk the public perception myths of what it means to be a gender surgeon and give it to you straight. This is the reality of gender surgery.

Huge shout out to Gender Surgeon Dr. John Brosious for helping me with this video. See a Day in his Life on my other channel, Kevin Jubbal, M.D., and check him out on Instagram and at the Vegas Plastic Surgery Institute here in Las Vegas - links below.

Gender surgery is the field of medicine concerned with alleviating gender dysphoria through surgical procedures. Gender dysphoria is defined as the unhappiness that patients in the gender expansive community feel due to the incongruence between their gender identity and their physical characteristics.

After medical school, there are a few different pathways to becoming a gender surgeon, and which pathway you choose will be dependent on which area of gender surgery you wish to go into. The most common pathway to becoming a gender surgeon is to complete a plastic surgery residency followed by either a one-year gender surgery fellowship or a one-year microvascular fellowship. That being said, there are other pathways to becoming a gender surgeon as well.

Students best-suited for this specialty tend to be highly motivated and are often at the top of their class. Given the stigma associated with working with the gender-expansive community, these students also tend to be very open-minded and down to earth as well.
