An Elective Surgery that can Make a Difference

Gender reassignment for the transsexual man is called FTM top surgery which creates a masculine chest.  Breast removal in the form of a subcutaneous mastectomy combined with male chest contouring is the major focus of surgery.  The surgery can also include free nipple grafts or nipple/areola resizing and repositioning. The surgery itself can take anywhere from 1.5-4 hours depending on which procedure is chosen.

Top surgery allows the trans man to live more comfortably.  Freedom from breasts gives the individual psychological benefits and allows him to function better socially.

Aftercare and Recovery

Patients often as how much time they will need for recovery after FTM Top Surgery.  For individuals in the working world, it depends on how strenuous their job is.  Someone with a desk job could go back to work in 10-14 days.  Dr. Nahai recommends a two-week recovery period.  If your job is more physical, you may have to take off up to 6 weeks following surgery.  Student patients will need to take 1-2 weeks off school and stay away from sports for 4-6 weeks.  It’s important to have an experienced physician who knows what complications might arise and will counsel you to recover as quickly as possible with no adverse effects.
