MTF Top Surgery – Chest Surgery

For many transgender and nonbinary individuals, chest surgery is essential and medically necessary to alleviate gender dysphoria. Thus, many patients request mastectomy with or without nipple areolar reconstruction. The goals of chest surgery are to create an aesthetically pleasing chest contour through the removal of breast tissue and excess skin. Chest surgery often includes reduction and repositioning of the nipple and areola. With many more patients identifying as gender fluid and nonbinary, chest surgery has evolved into a procedure that is tailored to meet a patient’s own goals. This will be discussed with you in detail at the time of your initial consultation.

The type of surgery offered will depend on the amount of tissue that is to be removed, the position of the nipple and the quality and amount of excess skin. Every effort is made to perform the surgery with as few visible scars as possible. The most common approaches include the “Keyhole” or “Periareola” procedure that involves a small incision made around the border of the pigmented areola skin, or the “Double Incision” procedure that involves the removal of the excess breast tissue and skin with or without the repositioning and resizing of the nipple and areola. This approach leaves a scar in the crease at the lower border of the pectoral muscle and a second scar around the border of the new areola if nipple areolar reconstruction is requested. Delete this line: In larger breasts a small vertical scar may also be recommended.

Adjunctive procedures, including lipocontouring of the chest wall and the use of internal shaping sutures, may also be indicated to optimize the appearance of the chest and meet your specific goals.

Top surgery is performed under general anesthesia and you will be able to go home the same day. Drains are typically used and you will be asked to wear a thin compression garment for several weeks to assist with your recovery.

Following surgery, patients often state that they have an improved level of confidence and quality of life. Surgical satisfaction is reported to be very high and a significant improvement in gender dysphoria-related mental health conditions has been found.
