Process for Man Who Wants Breast Implants, but Who Doesn't Plan to Do SRS?

Men who are living alternative lifestyles occasionally want to have breast augmentation. Medically there is no contraindication to it. There are psychological implications. The good news is that the operation is easily reversible if the patient decides the choice was poor.

Thank you for your question!  As a physician who has cared for transgender woman for over a decade, I have come across many individuals not wanting SRS.  It really depends on each person's priority for undergoing feminization surgery.  While some think that the SRS is the most important transitioning issue, others place a priority on Facial Feminization Surgery or Breast Augmentation.  Typically, we ask for a therapist letter addressing gender dysphoria prior to surgery.  While it is a reversible procedure, this is a real surgery with real potential risks. So, I would speak to your surgeon and ask him or her what requirements are mandated for you to proceed with breast augmentation.  I hope this helps!!

I perform a lot of transgender surgery, so you'll still need to get a letter from a psychologist/psychiatrist clearing you for this type of male to female top surgery.  Then, you're clear to pursue this type of surgery.  Breast implants in a male have certain details that need to be understood and these can be discussed during a consultation.  However, the results can be wonderful giving you a much more feminine appearing look to your breasts.  Thanks for your question....Dr. Schreiber, Baltimore plastic surgeon
