   Gender Affirmation Surgery with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Elda Fisher

   Every once in a while I come across a physician who is so inspirational and does the most meaningful work in medicine.  So, I always jump at the chance to interview them.   Dr. Elda Fisher is one of those doctors. Now, this episode is not going to resonate with everyone in my usual audience.  But this is FAMILY HEALTH.   For those people looking to pursue gender affirmation surgery, it can be hard to find information and resources.   So if you know someone who might benefit from this information, PLEASE share.    Dr. FIsher and I talked about the logistics of her work in gender affirming surgery and answered the following questions: *************** - What is gender affirmation surgery? - How did Dr. Fisher get into this unique field? - What types of procedures does Dr. Fisher do? - What options does the patient have in determining how they want to look? - How long does a typical operation take to complete? - What is the difference between a Plastic Surgeon and an Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon? - What type of evaluation and preparation does a patient go through prior to  surgery? - Is there a multidisciplinary team approach to preparing for the procedure? - How many people are pursuing this procedure? - Are all parts of the surgeries done at the same time or separately? - Do some people do just face or just lower body? - What is gender dysphoria? - What resources are available for the uninsured who desire gender affirmation surgery? *************** Dr. Elda Fisher completed medical school and residency at the University of North Carolina.  She then completed a fellowship in aesthetic surgery in Columbus, Ohio. Dr Fisher is an expert in Facial Gender Affirmation Surgery and has spoken nationally and internationally on this topic. She is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the American Academy of Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons and is a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. Dr Fisher is currently an Associate Professor of Surgery at UNC - Chapel Hill and is the Director of Facial Gender Affirmation Surgery in the Division of Craniofacial and Surgical Care. She is also the residency program director for the Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program and enjoys training residents in gender affirming care. *************** You can find more from Dr. Fisher at: Web: https://findadoc.unchealthcare.org/nc/chapel-hill/elda-l-fisher-md-120-dental-circle (https://findadoc.unchealthcare.org/nc/chapel-hill/elda-l-fisher-md-120-dental-circle) https://www.eldafisheraesthetics.com/ (https://www.eldafisheraesthetics.com/) IG: @facialfemsurgeon Email:  elda.fisher@unc.edu *************** Thanks so much for listening!

   Permission to Experience Pleasure with Ob/Gyn Dr. Sadaf Lodhi

   Like so many others, I used to cringe when my parents or others would talk about sex. And it wasn't really until I was in my professional life helping others find solutions to difficulties or dissatisfaction in their own sex lives that I developed the language and confidence to discuss it openly.  Today's guest Ob/Gyn Dr. Sadaf Lodhi and I share common goals of empowering our patients to explore their bodies, become confident expressing their needs and feel comfortable having conversations about their intimate lives. In the episode we tackled the taboo and answered the following questions: *************** - Why is sex such a taboo topic? - How does one identify the need to seek out sex therapy? - How can couples adjust to changes in a relationship over time - like changes in stress levels, body image, hormones, physical changes or difficulties due to medical conditions? - How does emotional intimacy affect a couple's physical connection? - How can someone with a traumatic past heal and move toward a healthy intimate life? - How are sex therapy and sex coaching different? - How can someone become comfortable discussing intimacy when they were raised in a household where it wasn't talked about? - How can we talk to our children about sex positivity and ensure that they have a healthy approach to their future intimate lives? - How does your upbringing affect your attitudes and beliefs around sex and intimacy? - What happens when you realize that you are dissatisfied with your sex / intimate life? - How do you figure out what you like sexually? - How do you develop the confidence to express what you want? *************** Dr.  Lodhi is a Board Certified Ob/Gyn and Certified Life Coach from Rutgers University.  She is currently undergoing AASECT training at the University of Michigan.   She offers courses and one-on-one coaching services. *************** You can find more from Dr. Lodhi at: Website: www.drsadaf.com IG/TIKTOK: @drsadafobgyn Youtube/Podcast: Muslim Sex Podcast *************** Thanks so much for listening!
