Transgender Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation and removal are common operations. The approach for male-to-female patients is different than for female-to-male patients. For female-to-male patients, a mastectomy (breast removal) procedure is usually the surgery performed. For many patients, it is the only surgery undertaken. For male-to-female patients, breast augmentation is the operation performed.

Body Masculinization Through Liposuction

Body masculinization can be achieved by shaping the abdomen, love handles and thighs using liposuction. By lipocontouring these areas, a more masculine appearance can be achieved. Liposuction results in permanent removal of fatty tissue.

Follow-up

Long-term postoperative follow-up is provided at no additional charge for all patients, in an effort to ensure an optimal surgical outcome.
