What Is Transgender Top Surgery?
Transgender top surgery is surgery that transforms the appearance of the chest to match a person’s gender identity. This generally is the most important gender affirming procedure in one’s transition and is quite effective in alleviating gender dysphoria as well as the associated anxiety and depression. Individuals now can feel far more comfortable in their bodies.
FTM and FTN Top Surgery
Female-to-male and female-to-nonbinary top surgery involve removing breast tissue to create a flatter, more masculine or neutral chest appearance. Dr. Turkeltaub offers several different techniques that can be tailored to an individual’s existing anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
MTF Top Surgery
MTF top surgery most often involves using breast implants to increase breast size and modify shape, similar to a breast augmentation. This creates a more feminine chest contour, which can significantly alleviate gender dysphoria and improve self-esteem.
