Body
Every body procedure is performed by a specialist who operates exclusively in gender-affirming surgery — never a generalist fitting you between other cases.
Your body carries your identity. Gender-affirming body contouring at Chrysalis Surgery addresses the curves, contours, and proportions that make your silhouette feel unmistakably yours — procedures that go beyond chest and bottom surgery to reshape what you see in the mirror every single day. This includes waist and hip contouring, buttock augmentation or reduction, liposuction sculpted to feminine or masculine ideals, and body masculinization techniques that create the broader, leaner frame many transmasculine patients are working toward. Every procedure is performed by a specialist, not a generalist — a surgeon whose entire practice is built around understanding trans anatomy and gender-affirming goals.
This distinction matters more than most patients initially realize. A generalist performing occasional body contouring works from a standard aesthetic template. Our exclusively gender-affirming team works from your template — understanding how hormones have already shaped your body, where your tissue responds differently, and what results are genuinely achievable for your anatomy. Dr. David N. Sayah, MD, board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, FACS-credentialed, and backed by 26 years of surgical experience, leads a practice where this level of anatomical literacy is the baseline, not the exception.
Because everything happens under one discreet Beverly Hills roof, your body contouring can be coordinated alongside your other procedures — no fragmented referrals, no repeating your story to a new provider, no compromise in continuity of care. You are never an afterthought on a crowded schedule. You are the entire focus.
