Top surgery for minors - user1123 - 07-03-2015
Hi all. I'm looking to find a top surgeon that will perform double incision on a 17 year old with parental consent in/within a 7 hour drive of NC and figured I'd post here to see if anyone had some knowledge on the subject. Thanks in advance

WPATH standards allow top surgery to be performed on those under 18. While not all surgeons who follow the WPATH standards will perform surgery on someone under 18, it's a good starting point for a search.
Dr. Eric Emerson is in NC and is a WPATH member. I recommend contacting him: http://www.transhealthcare.org/eric-emerson/

Thank you for the information, Joshua. I actually had a friend go to Dr. Emerson a few months back and he is on the list of possible surgeons I am compiling.
