Female-to-male (FTM) top surgery is becoming a highly requested treatment among females who desire to have their breasts reduced to appear more masculine. One of the most visible differences between the male and female body is the feminine breast versus the masculine chest.
Also called male chest contouring, this procedure uses the subcutaneous mastectomy technique to remove fat and breast tissue to recontour the chest. During the process, the plastic surgeons at Austin-Weston will also reposition the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) for a masculine-looking outcome. For females with larger breasts or those with unhealthy or lax skin elasticity, excess skin will be removed so the chest skin is taut and firm. The NAC may also need to be reduced. Since the ideal male chest is not flat but slightly rounded from developed pectoral muscles, pectoral implants may be added for a more masculine chest. To learn more about FTM top surgery, or if you have questions regarding any procedure that changes the overall look of your gender, we invite you to call the skilled surgeons at Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery.

For our patients in Reston FTM top surgery is generally performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. After the surgery, the patient will be put in a compression vest that they should wear for at least 3 – 4 weeks to minimize bruising and swelling. We will go over any specific recovery instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to check the patient’s healing. Our team of aftercare nurses can also offer information on scar care management to help minimize the appearance of surgical scars.
