These surgeries are typically sought by transgender and non-binary individuals who may experience gender dysphoria related to their chest anatomy.

Transgender male-to-female (MTF) top surgery, also known as transgender chest surgery, feminization mammoplasty, or breast augmentation surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at creating a more feminine chest contour for individuals assigned male at birth who identify as female or along the feminine spectrum. This surgery is often a crucial step in the gender affirmation process for transgender women and non-binary individuals.
MTF top surgery involves procedures to enhance the size and shape of the breasts to create a more feminine appearance. It typically includes breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer to achieve the desired breast size and contour.
Prior to surgery, patients undergo a thorough consultation with Dr. Nguyen. This includes discussing goals, expectations, risks, and the appropriate surgical approach.
Post-surgery recovery involves monitoring healing, managing discomfort, and attending follow-up appointments to ensure optimal results and address any complications.
These are just a few commonly asked questions about Male to Female Top Surgery. If you have specific concerns or questions, it's best to discuss them with Dr. Nguyen during a consultation.
Candidates typically include transgender women or non-binary individuals assigned male at birth who desire a more feminine chest contour. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery.

Dr. Nguyen provide instructions on post-operative care, including restrictions on physical activity and proper wound care. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.
Coverage varies by insurance provider and policy. Some insurance plans cover MTF top surgery as part of transgender healthcare benefits, while others may require pre-authorization or additional documentation. It's essential to check with your insurance company and your surgeon's office to understand coverage options and requirements.
Dr. Nguyen strives to achieve natural-looking results tailored to each patient's body shape and aesthetic preferences. Techniques such as nipple and areola reshaping can further enhance the outcome.
Like any surgical procedure, MTF top surgery carries risks such as bleeding, infection, adverse reactions to anesthesia, changes in nipple sensation, and the possibility of implant complications (for those opting for implants). Dr. Nguyen will discuss these risks and give you pre- and post-operative instructions carefully to minimize complications.
Gender affirming top surgeries play a crucial role in supporting individuals' gender identities and can have profound positive effects on mental health and well-being.
