I'm a male that wants breast implants.

Question

I want to go to D, DD teardrop breast implants, can this be done for a male that does not want transgender surgery, I'm a natural 42C.

Thank you for your question.  I find that the biggest obstacle with a male chest is that the pectoralis muscle is a lot stronger and therefore, sometimes it is much harder to get a bigger implant under the muscle.  Make sure you go to a Plastic Surgeon with experience doing implants in male chests.

Surgery on men who wish to live their life as a woman is now very common. The transgender surgery is not a requirement to qualify for breast augmentation. I believe it is important to have a psychological evaluation before the surgery and be appropriately cleared from a medical point of view as well.
This is a very gratifying operation and I usually encourage patients to also have liposuction at the same time to achieve a more hourglass shape to the abdomen at the same time. In addition, many also choose to have a Brazilian buttock augmentation. 
Good luck,

Hi there, Thank you for your question. Yes, men can have breast augmentation. You will have to be assessed by a plastic surgeon in person. This way you will get accurate information regarding outcomes and sizes. Best, realdrsix

Thank you for the question.
I have had the opportunity to work with several men interested in breast implants ( to feminize the chest wall).  This is a different situation from trans gender patients in transition and from men who are looking to augment their chest walls ( pectoralis implants).
Nevertheless, this subset of patients is somewhat uncommon;  it is very important to  understand patient motivation clearly and to educate  these patients about the long-term effects of having  feminized chest walls.
Best wishes.

Not all plastic surgeons have had experience with breast augmentations on men, so please find a surgeon who has had experience with this surgery on men.

Donald W. Hause, MD · Answer

The short answer is that, yes, men interested in breast augmentation can have surgery. There are some issues such as tissue quality and implant visibility that can be unique to the male breast. The specifics should be discussed during your consultation. Best of luck.
