Incision Methods
The highly qualified board certified Top Surgery plastic surgeons of the Gender Confirmation Center of NYC (Manhattan, NY) offer multiple incision methods for FTM Top Surgery (also known as a bilateral mastectomy). Our team of top rated Gender Confirmation plastic surgeons taps into a combination of aesthetics, art, and science during your Top Surgery to ensure minimal scarring, natural-looking results, and maximum patient satisfaction. There are several FTM Top Surgery incision techniques and our team of best in class NYC board certified plastic surgeons will employ the FTM Top Surgery incision method that best fits your anatomy and desired final surgical outcome. The following procedures are the most common FTM Top Surgery incision / surgical methods we offer at the Gender Confirmation Center of NYC:
Keyhole Top Surgery Method: During the Keyhole Top Surgery method your NYC board certified plastic surgeon makes semi-circular incisions along the base of the areolas. This surgical method allows for nipple resizing. The nipples / areolas are not removed.
- This surgical method is recommended for individuals with good skin elasticity.
- The Keyhole surgical method is typically employed on those with a small chest size.
- Patients can expect for Nipple / Areola Sensation to be mostly retained.
- Semi-circular incisions along the base of the areolas, less scarring.
Double Incision with Free Nipple Grafts Top Surgery Method: The double incision with free nipple grafts method for FTM Top Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 3-4 hours to perform. During this procedure, your board certified plastic surgeon removes breast tissue and uses liposuction to contour your chest to the desired final post-surgical chest shape that aligns with your identity. This surgical method is recommended for individuals that are okay with the post-surgical.
- Patients with all types of skin elasticity (low skin elasticity preferred) are eligible for the double incision Top Surgery technique.
- Ideal candidates for double incision top surgery typically have a B Cup or Larger chest size.
- Nipple / Areola Sensation is typically compromised in the post-surgical outcome.
- Longer incisions (horizontal incisions placed carefully on the top and bottom of the chest muscles), more scarring.
Periareolar Top Surgery Method: During this surgical technique, your plastic surgeon will make two (2) circular cuts around the areolas. Breast tissue is removed, along with an excess “ring” of tissue surrounding the areolae. The periareolar top surgery method allows for customization in regards to nipple / areola repositioning and nipple / areola sensation is usually retained in some capacity (low to high nipple / areola sensitivity retained, depending on each patient’s anatomy).
- The Periareolar surgical method is recommended for those with good skin elasticity.
- Nipple & Areola Sensation are typically retained in the final post-surgical outcome.
- Incisions / Scarring: Incisions are made along the natural outlines of the areola, making scarring minimal.
- The ideal candidate has small to medium sized breasts.
The final decision regarding incision method will be made during your Top Surgery, as it depends upon your unique anatomy. Our Top Surgery specialist surgeons will work meticulously to ensure minimal scarring and retain as much nipple / areola sensitivity as possible. We understand the sensitivity that comes with Gender Confirmation procedures and our team of best in class board certified surgeons (along with our highly qualified staff) works with each patient to build a treatment plan that eliminates or significantly decreases feelings of gender dysphoria.
