Hi!
Hope you’re well. I’m seeking a gender-affirming body contouring procedure for feminization (MTF). I’m looking for a specialist in that field in the Lower Mainland preferably. Would you be able to assist me on this request?
In addition, I’d like to know if there’s an insurance that covers this procedure. If so, would you be able to share this information with me?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Bella
