Hello, I previously posted a question about laser liposuction and trying to figure out if it was possible to have surgery with a desired result using that method. I lost weight with the intentions of reducing the size of my chest and was successful going from what I think was a DD to maybe a C cup. I'm looking for something that will give minimal scarring, and little down time. Also, what common problems I might run into given my size and shape?

Answer: Best Technique Options for FTM Top Surgery It's best to begin seeking a plastic surgeon with #board #certification and experience in this type of procedure. You should feel comfortable with your surgeon and his or her office staff. They should be open-minded regarding gender surgery. It’s important for your surgeon to have an aesthetic eye for body contouring, you should be comfortable with the surgical facility that your doctor uses and it should be certified. There are several methods used which depend upon the patient’s breast or chest #size before surgery. Considerations include the #laxity of skin, the #size of the #areola, the amount of #fat and recent weight #gain or weight #loss. The most common procedures which are described include the #periareola, #buttonhole, #double incision, and #anchor patterns. I often use #liposuction along with the double #incision for larger breasts, and, some variation for smaller breasts; depending upon the position of the areola. The female breast nipple and areola are often centered on the breast. However, the nipple and areola are lower and closer to the outside edge of the #pectoralis muscle in the male patient. Shaping the side of the chest may also be required and can be performed with #suctioning; along with contouring of the muscle, as noted above, to provide the best definition for the chest. Being each person varies, it’s important to be realistic about your goals and what is achievable. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will recommend the type best suited for you. The most important decision to be made before performing any surgical procedure is determining whether you are an ideal #candidate.

Answer: FTM top surgery For FTM patients with larger breasts, the "double incision" is really the best option. Anything else simply won't give you a masculine chest contour, and will likely either leave you with extra skin, residual breast tissue, or both. Although the double incision leaves a scar, the trade-off is a much better contour and the freedom to do away with a binder. In order to get a qualified, expert opinion on your surgical options and expectations visit a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
