Female To Male (FTM) & Female To Nonbinary (FTN) Top Surgery Overview


Female To Male (FTM) & Female To Nonbinary (FTN) Reconstruction Chest Surgery

FTM/N Top Surgery involves removal or reduction of breast tissue from the chest wall for transmasculine or non-binary individuals who were assigned female at birth (AFAB) who experience discomfort or dysphoria associated with the physical characteristics of their chest. These individuals generally wish to achieve a more masculine or gender-neutral appearance to their chest wall. The goal of surgery is to align outer physical characteristics with the internal sense of self.
