Top Surgery
Transmasculine reconstruction, commonly referred to as top surgery involves removing your unwanted breasts and reconstructing the skin, nipples, and areolas to create a masculine looking chest.
The techniques we use include the double incision, keyhole, or a combination of these depending on your breast size and shape. You will discuss the technique with your surgeon at the first consultation.
WPATH Standards of Care
The providers follow the WPATH Standards of Care, which recommend one letter from a qualified mental health care prior to the surgery:
