MASTECTOMY

Top surgery is the procedure to create a masculine chest for trans men, nonbinary or gender-diverse individuals. This procedure involves removing fat and glandular tissue and sculpting a more masculine upper chest.

TRANSMASCULINE TOP SURGERY - MASTECTOMY

We believe that everyone has the right to live as their most authentic selves, and top surgery can help align your body to your gender identity. This can help you to feel more confident and secure about your appearance and support a healthy sex life for you. Taking this important step can have tremendous social, psychological, emotional, personal and professional benefits to improve your overall quality of life.

WHAT IS TOP SURGERY?

Top surgery encompasses several safe reconstructive surgical procedures that can transform your top (chest) area to help you achieve your embodiment goals.

Excess breast tissue is removed with a combination of surgical excision techniques. The areola complex is resized and repositioned for a more traditionally masculine appearance. Our surgeons will select from the following techniques according to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

PERIAREOLAR INCISION (KEYHOLE)

For this technique, an incision is made encircling the areolar complex, allowing the surgeon to easily remove breast tissue and reshape the chest. This approach is ideal for trans men who require minimal breast reduction and are in possession of good skin elasticity.

DOUBLE INCISION

For those who require a more significant level of breast reduction, we use two horizontal incisions in an elliptical fashion to remove the breast tissue and excess skin. The final incision line will rest at the lower border of the pectoralis muscle. The nipples and areolas are typically removed as skin grafts, resized, and placed in a more masculine position on the chest. The Double Incision approach is performed in the vast majority of patients seeking top surgery.

INVERTED T

For those with medium to large chests and an abundance of skin, an inverted T incision is used that goes down to the inframammary fold and then horizontally across the bottom of the breast.

BUTTONHOLE

This approach is similar to the double incision method, but resizes the nipple areolar complex in a way that preserves nipple sensation and sensitivity.
