About Transgender Top Surgery
Transgender top surgery is a form of reconstructive surgery performed on the chest for those who desire to establish a more masculine or feminine contour. Two procedures that encapsulate this surgery are:
- Male-to-female top surgery implements either a silicone or saline breast implant to enhance chest contours as well as establish a more feminine figure
- Female-to-male surgery involves extracting breast tissue and sculpting the chest to create a leveled canvas
What can I expect in terms of recovery?
Ultimately, recovery period will depend on which procedure you are receiving. Patients who undergo female-to-male surgery typically resume working and some of their activities after about 2 weeks, while male-to-female surgery can take around 1 week. Dr. Sands and his team will provide everyone aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible recovery.
Am I an ideal candidate for transgender top surgery?
Anyone considering transgender top surgery should:
- Not be a smoker
- Be in good physical and mental health
- Have realistic expectations in mind for their determined procedure
Once you schedule your initial consultation, Dr. Sands and his team will discuss with you your medical history as well as your goals in mind for this surgery. From their, we can better determine your individual candidacy.
