Morgan had his top surgery on August 7, 2024, and recently sat down to answer a few questions about his journey with GCC 💙
✨What inspired you to seek gender-affirming surgery?
Most of my adult life I felt disconnected and dissociated from my body. When I realized I was transgender, I realized how dysphoric I was about my chest. I had an experience in a sauna where I saw my reflection in the glass from a particular angle and I was able to “see” for the first time what it would be like to have a flat chest. I knew in that moment I was ready for top surgery.
✨ Why did you choose Gender Confirmation Center for your care?
Another trans friend of mine had had a great experience with the GCC, and Dr. Jacobs, and I loved his results. I was in fact pretty envious of his results and that was part of what helped me realize I really wanted to get top surgery. When I was scrolling through the example results pages on the GCC website/social media, each time I said, “Wow, I like how that looks!” It was a surgery performed by Dr. Jacobs. This was what made me feel confident that I had found the right surgeon for my top surgery.
✨ How has your surgery impacted your daily life or sense of self?
Surgery has been liberating for me. I feel free to stand tall and proud, take up space, and have experienced a dramatic change to my posture and confidence. I love wearing clothes that fit me, and am so much more comfortable in my body every single day. I have had zero regrets. My chest is now one of my favorite parts of my body.
✨ What was the most meaningful or memorable moment from your recovery?
My “chest reveal” day was incredibly special. I brought my partner, and she was able to be there to witness and celebrate with me. I was just amazed and could not believe how great my chest looked, and how good I felt about my body after surgery. It was one of the best days of my life.
✨ What would you say to someone considering surgery with GCC?
This is such a fantastic resource for the trans community, and they help you navigate the process with insurance, scheduling, recovery, and care in such a coordinated way. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs and the whole GCC team.
