I'm a 22 y/o Trans Man about to start Hormone therapy. I have (luckily) a little under a AA cup breast-size, will the HRT flatten them completely or will I have to worry about chest surgery eventually?

Answer: Best Way to Flatten the Chest Top Surgery is the #reduction and masculinization of the breasts and chest for a person who wants a more #masculine chest. This is often an individual who desires #gender reassignment. Breast tissue is #removed and the #nipple position is usually made smaller and then placed in a more masculine #anatomic #position. Top surgery allows for a more #comfortable chest with improved psychosocial benefits. Clothing fits better, physical activity may be easier. The chest can also be made more masculine with fat #grafting or #implants to provide a more muscular and #sculpted #appearance. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate.Hormone therapy for top surgery is not required unless you’re seeking coverage through #insurance. Many companies will require one year of HRT (Hormone replacement therapy). The #benefits of HRT for every patient, however, do include heavier #chest #muscles and more chest #hair; which can cover some incisions while you are healing. #HRT may be a strong consideration for most patients. WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) provides the best current standards of care for physicians to assist in the care of #transgender, #transsexual and #nonconforming patients. It's best to consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon about your concerns and to confirm if FTM Top is in your best interests.
