About me
Gabriel A. Del Corral, MD, is a fellowship-trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, part of the MedStar Health Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery team at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center in Baltimore and MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C. Recognized as one of the region’s most experienced microsurgical specialists, he provides comprehensive reconstructive surgical care for patients undergoing treatment for both malignant and benign breast conditions, as well as gender affirmation patients. In all cases, Dr. Del Corral applies the latest, most innovative surgical techniques to optimize outcomes, the recovery process, and comfort for his patients.
As a breast reconstruction specialist, Dr. Del Corral has extensive experience performing a wide variety of state-of-the-art procedures including DIEP/TUG/PAP as well as several other flap techniques, two-stage tissue expander/implants, and one-stage direct to implant reconstructions. He is also highly-skilled in treating patients with post-surgical lymphedema using the most advanced microsurgical techniques. This includes lymphatic surgery to treat lymphedema and breast cancer-related lymphedema.
As a gender affirmation specialist, Dr. Del Corral is trained to provide comprehensive care and compassionate support for patients who wish to transition their gender. He offers a wide range of both top and bottom surgical procedures for transman, transfemale, and nonbinary individuals, applying cutting edge surgical techniques to streamline and optimize the process of care as well as the process of recovery. Dr. Del Corral is trained and experienced with robotic genital surgery, including vaginoplasty and other phalloplasty procedures. At an increasing rate, he is consulting with and caring for patients who opted to undergo their original gender affirmation surgical procedures at other locations, and may require revisional surgery to resolve problems or concerns. In all cases, Dr. Del Corral’s guiding principle is to “meet patients where they are and guide them through the process of becoming who they want to be.”
Dr. Del Corral is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH), the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery, and the American Society of Lymphatic Surgery, among others. He has been named a “Top Doctor” by Baltimore Magazine every year since 2016.
Dr. Del Corral’s Philosophy of Care
“I am passionate about plastic and reconstructive surgery because I have witnessed just how valuable these procedures can be for patients in the process of healing, recovery, and fulfillment of their best and happiest quality of life. It’s never too late to consider reconstructive surgery. I take the time to help my patients understand their options and make decisions they will be happy with, long-term.”
