What Is Gender Affirmation Surgery?

During the consultations, Dr. Chernoff explains his view of a natural feminine face. Symmetry, proportionate features, and soft lines are discussed and demonstrated using computer imaging. Dr. Chernoff works with each patient individually to create a look that achieves a feminine and natural quality.

Most of Dr. Chernoff’s facial cosmetic surgery procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. For the patient’s comfort, certain procedures may require one overnight stay.
