What Is Gender Affirmation Surgery?
Gender affirmation surgery, or top surgery, supports individuals in transitioning to their desired gender. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, female-to-male (FTM) top surgery removes breast tissue and contours the chest for a masculine look while male-to-female (MTF) top surgery uses implants to achieve a feminine appearance. These procedures are customized to each patient's unique goals, helping align their physical appearance with their gender identity. Contact our Pensacola, FL office to schedule a consultation.

Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Leveque performed my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I am almost two weeks out of surgery and recovering beautifully thanks to the support from her staff and careful care instructions. Leading up to the procedure I was well educated by Dr. Leveque and the staff at GCPS. The surgery itself was just fine, I was well prepared and went home the same day. My incisions are remarkably small! I know they will heal well. My post op visits have also been so helpful. I had initially had a quote from another surgeon and opted to come here. I am so glad that so did.
The environment is relaxed, comfortable and quiet. Everyone I come in contact with is friendly and respectful. My nurse is pleasant and warm and answers my questions with knowledge and care.
Dr. Butler, Kim & Jenny were all very helpful, professional and friendly. They provide amazing attention and care for all my needs/care. Their work is wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
