## Resource

Dr. Keith Blechman is a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City who has become one of the most sought-after top surgery providers in the country — with patients traveling from 46 states to see him. In this conversation, Zach and Dr. Blechman talk about how a single patient in 2016 changed the direction of his career, what inclusive gender-affirming care actually looks like, his pioneering narcotic-free pain management protocol, nipple tattooing, and why his patients are some of the most inspiring people he's ever met. 🌐 Learn more or schedule a consultation: blechmanplasticsurgery.com https://www.blechmanplasticsurgery.com/dr-keith-blechman-upper-east-side-plastic-surgeon https://www.instagram.com/dr.blechman/ https://www.instagram.com/breastsurgerygroup/
