Breast implants for a male patient?

Question

Is there anywhere or any way a man can get breast implants without going thru the psycological evaluation or any kind of therapy?

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

There are surgeons that specialize in transgender surgery, which includes breast implant surgery for men.  We do not requite therapists letters for any of our trans patients.  If you are competent to consent for the surgery and this is what you are looking to achieve, the operation can be performed without difficulty.

One thing to be aware of is that our implants are FDA-approved for women.  Using them in a man would be an off-label use.  Just something to be aware of.

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.
