FTM (female-to-male) top surgery is a type of gender-affirming surgery that is used to help transgender men achieve a more masculine chest appearance. The surgery typically involves the removal of breast tissue, and in some cases, the reshaping and repositioning of the nipples and areolas. The goal of FTM top surgery is to create a chest that is more in line with the patient’s gender identity and can help improve self-esteem and body image.
There are several different techniques used for FTM top surgery, including:
Double Incision: This technique involves two incisions made horizontally across the chest, the breast tissue is removed and the nipples are repositioned.
Peri–areolar: This technique involves an incision made around the areola, breast tissue is removed and the nipple is repositioned.
Keyhole: This technique involves a small incision made around the areola and a larger incision made under the arm, breast tissue is removed and the nipple is repositioned.
FTM top surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete. Recovery time can vary depending on the technique used and the individual case, patients may need to wear a compression garment for several weeks after the surgery to help reduce swelling and promote healing.
It’s important to note that FTM top surgery is a major surgery and has potential risks such as bleeding, infection, and complications with healing. It’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who is experienced in gender-affirming surgeries to determine the best treatment option for your individual needs and goals.

EXCELLENT Based on 1660 reviews Pinki Shah2025-09-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Ashutosh Shah and the team at Elegance Clinic for the excellent care provided to my granddaughter after her glass injury. Dr. Shah explained everything clearly, including the primary suture process, and reassured us throughout. The results have been wonderful—her suture line has healed beautifully with no complications. It's a relief to see her recovering so well. Thank you, Dr. Shah, for your professionalism and compassion!"

The team was incredibly professional and took the time to explain the difference between HydraFacial and chemical peeling, helping me choose the right treatment plan. I ended up getting a combination of both — and the results were amazing! ✨ My skin now feels refreshed, smoother, and noticeably glowing. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend Elegance Clinic for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin with real results. Thank you for bringing back my glow! 💆♀️🌸 Aisha D2025-09-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “I had surgery here for an accidental scar, and I’m very happy with my experience.
