Female to male: what can I expect from testosterone therapy as far as breast size?

Good question. We require all transgender, and non-binary, patients undergoing a top surgery to be on hormones for at least 18 months prior to their procedure. The reason for this is that hormones alone may result in a decrease of breast tissue, increased body and facial hair, and other significant physical changes. But keep in mind, ultimately, you may still need surgery to achieve the results you want. 
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.

best of luck!

Hello, thanks for sharing your query. Testosterone treatment helps in redistribution of body fat and also reduces the breast volume. The results can take upto 6 months and stabilize beyond that. After treatment once size of breast reduced the surgery can be performed via a periareolar incision minimizing scars. Consult a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi,Thanks for the post. Testosterone has 3 effects on the breast: 1) Variable decrease in breast tissue and thus size 2) Increase in size of pectoralis muscle 3) Development of chest hairThese effects occur to variable degrees from one person to he next. Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand
