FTM top surgery techniques vary for each person, based on your existing breast tissue, but procedures typically include the double incision technique or the periareolar procedure.
Double incision: Typically recommended for people with large amounts of breast tissue or diminished skin elasticity and sag. This procedure removes both breast tissue and the excess skin, leaving an incision in the creases beneath where the breasts once were. The nipples are then removed, repositioned, and resized. This is the most commonly performed procedure for top surgery and most people are candidates.
Periareolar: This approach involves tissue removal through 2 concentric circle incisions around the areola, which keeps the nipple stalk and nerve intact.
Dr. Rockmore will talk in-depth with you about each approach and ways he may customize your procedure to better suit your goals.
How Is Male to Female (MTF) Top Surgery Performed?
Male to female (MTF) top surgery is very similar to traditional breast augmentation. It involves the use of breast implants to create fuller, rounder breasts and feminize the chest. While hormone therapy can result in moderate breast development, implants will provide a much more feminine breast shape and size. Dr. Rockmore uses a variety of techniques to create feminine curves that proportionally fit your frame.
