In today’s world, the right to express one’s gender identity with confidence and dignity is more important than ever. For many transgender individuals, gender affirmation surgery is a crucial step in aligning their physical appearance with their true gender identity. This life-changing process is not about cosmetic change—it’s about authenticity, comfort, and living life as one truly is.
Dr. Richie Gupta, one of India’s most respected plastic and reconstructive surgeons, has been at the forefront of gender affirmation procedures, offering compassionate, expert care to transgender men and women from across the country and beyond. With years of experience and a multidisciplinary approach, Dr. Gupta’s clinic in New Delhi is a trusted destination for those seeking gender-affirming surgical procedures.
Gender affirmation surgery, also known as sex reassignment surgery (SRS), involves a set of surgical procedures that help an individual transition physically from one gender to another. This process is highly personal and can include a combination of chest reconstruction, genital surgery, facial feminization or masculinization, and body contouring, depending on the patient’s needs.
For male-to-female (MTF) transitions, procedures may include breast augmentation, vaginoplasty (creation of a neovagina), facial feminization surgery (such as brow lift, jaw contouring, rhinoplasty), and body shaping with liposuction or fat grafting. For female-to-male (FTM) individuals, common surgeries include mastectomy (chest masculinization), phalloplasty or metoidioplasty (penile reconstruction), and facial masculinization procedures.
Dr. Richie Gupta emphasizes that every journey is different. “There’s no one-size-fits-all approach,” he says. “Gender affirmation surgery is about helping each individual feel whole in their body. We take time to understand their goals, support them medically and emotionally, and offer results that are both functional and aesthetically aligned.”
Preoperative planning is comprehensive and includes psychological evaluation, hormone therapy guidance, and readiness assessment based on WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) standards. Surgery is only performed once the patient is mentally and physically prepared, ensuring the highest levels of safety and success.
Post-surgical recovery is carefully monitored by Dr. Gupta’s team, with special attention given to wound care, functional outcomes, and long-term psychological support. The goal is not only surgical success, but also a smooth, affirming transition process.
What makes Dr. Gupta’s practice stand out is the combination of surgical excellence and deeply empathetic care. “Many of my patients have waited years to feel at home in their bodies,” he shares. “To be a part of their transformation and happiness is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.”
For those considering gender affirmation surgery, the first step is consultation and counseling. Dr. Richie Gupta offers a safe, confidential, and inclusive space to discuss options, expectations, and timelines.
If you or a loved one is exploring gender affirmation surgery, expert guidance and support are essential. Dr. Richie Gupta and his team are committed to walking with you on this empowering journey—helping you live your truth, confidently and proudly.
