What is Gender-Affirming Care?

Below is a timeline for those undergoing gender-affirming (and other) surgeries. Schedule your Uncle Nat’s care regime to speed up your healing, reduce scarring, and get the best results.

Post-op care services are also amazing for c-sections, chest augmentations, those who may be susceptible to keloid scarring, or who need any other type of wound or scar support.

If you’re looking for more information about what your unique wound or scar healing process could look like,

LED LIGHT THERAPY AND MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

The minute you are ready to change your bandages, you should come to the shop for LED light therapy. We can help you remove your bandages and replace them after your session. This will help inhibit the scarification process. You can do LED as often as you like.

SCAR SCRAPING AND SKIN ROLLING

Scar scraping is a gentle, instrument-assisted technique (similar to gua sha or Graston) used only after incisions are fully healed. It helps improve circulation, reduce adhesions, and support healthy collagen remodeling.
Skin rolling lifts and mobilizes the skin and fascia. After top surgery, it helps restore glide between tissue layers, reducing tightness and improving chest and shoulder mobility.We don’t erase scars. We help them move with you.

We are currently unable to take insurance for our services, but are making plans to change that within the year. If you’d like to be notified when insurance options are available, please join our newsletter.
