MTF Top Surgery, also known as gender-affirming top surgery or chest feminization, is a surgical procedure designed to feminize the chest for individuals transitioning from male to female. This comprehensive procedure involves the adjustment of existing breast tissue and the strategic placement of breast implants to create a more feminine contour and appearance. Dr. Horn utilizes advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology to achieve natural-looking results for a breakthrough in confidence.
Since chest feminization is incredibly versatile, a wide variety of options are available to personalize your results.
There are several different types of implant materials and shapes that offer each patient the ability to choose exactly what's right for them. Saline implants consist of a silicone shell filled with sterile saline, can be placed with a smaller incision, and offer a more dramatic, round breast look. Silicone implants have a more natural look and feel and have less risk of complications but require a slightly larger incision. Round and teardrop shapes are also options depending on the patient's preference.
The incision type typically depends on the implant itself. They may be periareolar, around all or part of the areola, or inframammary, where they are made in the crease underneath the breast.
Placement also depends on the implant type as well as anatomy. Submuscular placement goes below the muscles in the chest and can provide a more natural look, while subglandular placement is above the muscle.
MTF Top Surgery can profoundly impact your quality of life and contribute to a more authentic and fulfilling sense of well-being. By feminizing the chest contours and enhancing breast volume, this procedure can greatly enhance self-confidence. Benefits for our MTF Top Surgery patients include:
