FTM Top Surgery


FTM top surgery, also known as chest masculinization or chest reconstruction, is a surgical procedure that involves removing breast tissue to create a more masculine chest contour for individuals assigned female at birth but who identify as male or non-binary.

This surgery is often a crucial step in the gender transition process for many transgender men as it helps align their physical body with their gender identity. 

The specific techniques used in top surgery can vary depending on factors such as the individual's anatomy, desired aesthetic outcome, and surgeon's expertise.


FTM top surgery in NYC, New Jersey, Long Island, & Connecticut is often considered a life-changing procedure for transgender men, as it can alleviate gender dysphoria and improve self-confidence and body image.

MTF Breast Augmentation in NYC, New Jersey, & Long Island

MTF Breast Augmentation

MTF breast augmentation for individuals assigned male at birth is a procedure that falls within the realm of gender affirmation surgery. It's typically sought by transgender women or non-binary individuals who desire a more feminine chest appearance to better align with their gender identity.

The procedure involves the surgical placement of breast implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Before undergoing MTF breast augmentation in NYC, New Jersey, Long Island & Connecticut, individuals usually undergo hormone therapy, which can promote breast development and increase breast tissue to some extent. However, for many transgender women, hormone therapy alone may not achieve the desired breast size or shape, making breast augmentation a valuable option. 

Recovery 

Recovery from FTM top surgery varies depending on the individual's health, the surgical technique, and other factors. Generally, patients can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the weeks following surgery. It's crucial to follow post-operative instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure proper healing.
