Gender-Affirming Surgery
Gender-affirming surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to align a person’s physical characteristics with their gender identity. For many individuals, these procedures can significantly reduce gender dysphoria, improve comfort and safety in daily life, and enhance overall well-being.
Surgical decisions are highly individual. Some people choose one procedure, while others may pursue multiple surgeries over time, depending on their goals and circumstances.
Dr Rita Yang currently practises at Wakefield Hospital in Wellington, where she performs a comprehensive range of gender-affirming surgical procedures.
