What Makes Our Transgender Surgeries Different
Transgender surgeries don’t focus on changing your look; they are performed to align your body with who you’ve always been. That’s why Dr. Garg approaches each procedure as both a medical process and a deeply personal journey. He takes time to listen to your needs, talks through what’s realistic, and creates a surgical plan for you. Some patients need one procedure, others benefit from a combination over time. Dr. Garg works with you to map out the right timeline.
Dr. Garg’s training across multiple continents and world-class institutions makes him one of the few surgeons with such broad experience. He honed his surgical skills at the Tata Memorial Cancer Center in Mumbai, one of Asia’s most advanced medical centers. He further conducted vascular surgery research at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and published his findings in the Journal of Vascular Surgery. He completed an additional fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery in Seattle.
Over his career, Dr. Garg has helped thousands of patients achieve their aesthetic goals with beautiful results. He’s transparent about what each surgery involves, including recovery time, potential risks, and long-term care. You’ll never be rushed into a decision because this is your body, your identity, and your choice.
“I see many patients who need revisions because the original surgery pushed beyond their anatomy and healing limits. Experience teaches you when to do less and when to stage procedures. I slow the process down and set clear, realistic expectations for my patients so the results are more natural and long-lasting.”
– Dr. Garg

What is transgender surgery?
Transgender surgery, also known as gender-affirming or gender confirmation surgery, helps align a trans person’s physical body with their gender identity. These procedures can make transgender individuals feel more comfortable in their bodies as their appearance in the mirror reflects how they feel inside. There are many options available for male-to-female (MTF) and female-to-male (FTM) transitions.
Common procedures include chest surgery (top surgery), facial feminization or masculinization, and body contouring. For MTF patients, this might mean breast augmentation or facial softening procedures. For FTM patients, there are surgical procedures like chest masculinization.
Every transgender journey is unique. Some patients need only one procedure, while others benefit from multiple surgeries over time. Dr. Garg works with you to understand your specific goals and creates a personalized surgical plan that respects your vision and your body’s capabilities.
Why consider top surgery?
Transgender individuals choose top surgery to address gender dysphoria (the mismatch between a person’s gender and real identity). Top surgery creates a chest that matches how you see yourself. Many people find it gives them the freedom to dress how they want, move comfortably in their bodies, and feel more confident in social situations.
What is male chest contouring surgery?
Male chest contouring surgery is another name for FTM top surgery. It removes breast tissue and reshapes the chest to create a masculine appearance. The procedure includes resizing and repositioning the nipples, contouring the chest wall, and removing excess skin if needed.
What are the benefits of male chest contouring?
Male chest contouring offers many benefits by eliminating the need for chest binding, which can be uncomfortable over time. It creates a masculine chest shape that allows you to wear fitted clothing, go shirtless, and move through the world without constantly thinking about your chest.
Who is a good candidate for top surgery?
Good candidates for top surgery are generally those who:
- Have discomfort or gender dysphoria related to their chest
- Are in good overall physical and mental health
- Have reached a stable point in their transition or personal journey
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes and scarring
- Are able to follow pre- and post-operative care instructions
- Do not have medical conditions that would significantly increase surgical risk
Patients should feel confident in their decision and understand the surgical process. A consultation with Dr. Garg will help determine if top surgery is appropriate for you.
What is recovery like?
Recovery from transgender surgery depends on which procedure you’re having, but most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks. You’ll need to avoid heavy exercise and lifting for 4-6 weeks while your body heals, and swelling will gradually decrease over several months. Dr. Garg provides detailed aftercare instructions and schedules follow-up visits to monitor your progress, answer questions, and make sure you’re healing as expected.

Will insurance cover gender-affirming surgery?
Insurance coverage for gender-affirming surgery varies by provider and plan. Some insurers cover gender-affirming surgeries when specific criteria are met, while others do not. It’s important to check directly with your insurance company and review any required documentation.
How long should I wait after starting hormone therapy before having chest surgery?
There is no single timeline, and hormone therapy is not mandatory for chest surgery. Some surgeons recommend being on hormones for a period of time to allow chest changes to stabilize, while others assess readiness on a case-by-case basis. This is discussed during consultation with Dr. Garg.
Will I have nipple sensation after chest surgery?
Nipple sensation can change after surgery and varies from person to person. Some patients retain sensation, while others experience reduced or altered feeling. Sensation may improve over time, but full sensation cannot be guaranteed.
What are the risks of gender-affirming chest surgery?
The risks of gender-affirming chest surgery can include bleeding, infection, scarring, changes in sensation, or uneven healing. Serious complications are uncommon when surgery is performed by a qualified surgeon. Dr. Garg will review all risks in detail before surgery.
How visible will my scars be?
Visibility of scars depends on the surgical technique used, skin type, and healing process. Dr. Garg places incisions carefully to follow natural lines when possible. Over time, scars usually fade and become less noticeable, though they will not disappear completely.
Can I have other procedures at the same time as chest surgery?
Yes, it’s often possible to combine chest surgery with procedures like liposuction for body contouring, a tracheal shave, or even some facial procedures, depending on your overall health and surgical goals. Combining procedures can mean one recovery period instead of multiple surgeries. Dr. Garg will help you weigh the pros and cons based on what makes sense for your body and timeline.
