About the Operation

Mastectomy involves the complete removal of breast gland tissue either as a health prophylaxis (for cancer or BRCA1 mutation) or to achieve a fully masculine, flat chest contour (Top Surgery / Transmasculine Mastectomy) for individuals undergoing gender affirmation transition.

Application Details

  • 1Skin-sparing or nipple-sparing techniques minimize scarring to the greatest extent possible.
  • 2The nipple-areola complex can be reduced (areola graft) to match a masculine chest aesthetic.
