Dr. Sayed’s philosophy is simple: Aesthetics Done Right. What this means is a thorough evaluation of the patient’s goals, an examination of the patient’s unique physical anatomic features, and a personal respect for all patients, being mindful of the significance of making such an important decision. Dr. Sayed believes in patient autonomy and self-identification, empowerment, and choice. He trained in institutions like UCSF and Mass General, and from the beginning of his career, he was instilled with a profound reverence for patient diversity. Many of the techniques for transgender patients were pioneered in San Francisco, where Dr. Sayed spent his medical school and plastic surgery residency years learning from the best.
Regarding bottom surgery, Dr. Sayed recognizes the importance of a multidisciplinary clinic environment that can deliver microsurgical results with minimal complications. He is trained in microsurgery but refers patients for bottom surgery to his colleagues in San Francisco, focusing his MTF practice on top surgery, including certain facial feminization procedures and primarily breast work.
