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:

  2. Capacity to make a fully informed decision and to consent for treatment;
  3. Age of majority in a given country;
  4. If significant medical or mental health concerns are present, they must be reasonably well-controlled.

Hormone therapy is not a prerequisite.
