In this modern era, people want to live life in their own way. They want to have things according to their taste preferences and choices. In order to have a flatter and more masculine chest, people nowadays opt to have FTM top surgery. By doing so, people have better self-esteem, increased physical comfort and improved social acceptance. Under this, the breast tissues are removed, and pectoral implants, known as chest muscles, are replaced to have a contoured chest. However, there are different types of surgical techniques available, depending on the body type, chest size, and personal goals.
Double Incision Mastectomy:
Under this surgery, the excess fat that is present in the chest area, breast tissues, and the skin from the chest is removed to create a flat chest that shows a masculine appearance. It is a popular female-to-male surgery. Two horizontal incisions are made on the chest area on the left and the right side; by this, the chest tissues are removed, and the chest is reshaped. While tissues are removed in a great amount, tightening of the skin is also done. Therefore, one with a larger breast size prefers this surgery.
Who can prefer = Having a chest size of medium to large, this surgery is perfect for you.
Nipple Sparing Double Incision Mastectomy:
This surgery is almost the same as the Double Incision Mastectomy. Just one difference is that in Double Incision Mastectomy, the area around the nipple, known as the areolas, is removed by using the free nipple graft method. Under this, the nipple is resized and implanted in a new location. However, in the case of Nipple Sparing Double Incision Mastectomy, nipple grafts are not used, and the nipples stay attached to the skin only. When an incision is done using this method, the areolas and the nipples move in the same direction from where the skin has been removed. An oval-shaped incision is made around the lower chest to remove chest tissues. Under this, there is no loss of nipple sensation.
Who can prefer = If the breast size is small to medium, then only you should prefer this technique.
Keyhole Top Surgery:
Under this technique, small and semi-circular incisions are made to remove the breast tissue. However, the nipples stay the same; no change is observed in them. Their shape and location are the same. There is no requirement for a large incision. However, excess skin is not removed; only the breast tissues are removed.
Who can prefer = Those with small breast size can prefer this surgery, like with the A to B cup range.
Periareolar Top Surgery:
Under this, breast tissues are also removed by making an incision around the outer edge of the areola. If there is a need to resize or reposition the areola, then that thing is possible in this type of surgery. The nipple areola stays in its natural state.
Who can prefer = Those with smaller breast sizes can go for this surgery.
