Female to Male (FTM) Surgery in Navi Mumbai
Female-to-male (FTM) top surgery is a gender-affirming procedure performed for transgender men and non-binary individuals, in order to form a masculine chest. This surgery, paired together with hormonal therapy, maybe the only surgical step that one takes for their transition.
FTM gender reassignment surgery usually involves following procedures:
Female-to-male top surgery generally involves - Mastectomy ie. removal of breast tissue, The standard is not only to achieve a flat chest but also to achieve a masculine chest, where the pectoralis area and nipple are proportionate together.
Double incision top surgery with free nipple and areola grafts provides the best outcome for a flat and masculine chest. Adjunct high-definition 3-dimensional liposuction is very important, especially in the areas of the lateral chest to define the pectoralis border, as well as to avoid extra bunching of tissue after surgery (dog ears), and provides the best outcome for a masculine-looking chest. Generally, nipple sensation will be decreased or will be completely absent following this surgery.
In surgery, the nipple and areola are separated and grafted back on independently. This provides the most aesthetically pleasing nipple-areola complex that is similar to a male nipple-areola.
This female-to-male top surgery procedure is usually an day care surgery that takes between 2-3 hours for the surgeon to perform.
Infection or bleeding under the nipple could result in full or partial necrosis, as well as nipple-areola loss. This is avoided by using a compression garment and special topical compression foam for one week following FTM surgery.
Hematoma or bleeding under the mastectomy breast tissue is a potential risk following female-to-male surgery. This can be prevented by avoiding heavy lifting and increased physical activity after surgery, as well as avoiding all daily activities that increase blood pressure. Avoiding medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), fish oil, glucosamine, chondroitin, vitamin E, and Omega 3 for two weeks before FTM top surgery can decrease the incidence of unwanted bleeding during or after surgery. Please see the complete list of medications that are to be avoided at least two weeks before surgery.
