Female to Male Top Surgery

Transgender Female to Male

Female to male top surgery is an important component of the gender reassignment procedure for transsexual men. It creates a more masculine chest contour and resizes and repositions the nipples and areolas if needed. Top surgery gives trans men the gift of living with more comfort and confidence than ever before. The surgery can also improve essential psychological and social function throughout the gender reassignment process.

Female to male top surgery for patients with smaller breasts begins with a subcutaneous mastectomy. This is a skin-sparing breast removal which leaves the skin, areola, and nipple intact while carefully removing the unwanted breast tissue from an incision under each breast. For patients with larger breasts or extra or drooping skin in the breast area, it is best to remove excess skin and breast tissue in the crease of the pectoralis muscles, then replace the nipples and areolae through grafting.

Male to female top surgery is also an essential part of the gender reassignment surgery procedure for transsexual women. The ultimate goal of male to female top surgery is to help patients align their physical characteristics with their internal sense of self. Overall, the procedure delivers the sensual, shapely, and undeniably feminine appearance that transsexual women desire. This boosts confidence and self-esteem significantly during the gender reassignment process and beyond!

Breast implants are used to achieve the male to female top surgery. Breast augmentation enhances the size and contour of the breasts by implanting saline or silicone implants in the chest. There are many different methods available to place implants, such as using a periareolar incision along the circumference of the areola or a transaxillary incision in the natural folds of the armpit skin. Augmentation surgery itself only lasts about an hour, after which time the six-week recovery process begins.
