About
About Chrisalys Surgery
Chrisalys 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.
Our philosophy
The only fully multidisciplinary gender-affirming surgery clinic
Chrisalys 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.
