Chest Feminization Surgery

Surgery for Trans Women

The goal of chest feminization surgery is to give a more feminine contour and appearance to the chest using breast implants and possibly fat transfer.

What is chest feminization surgery?

The goal of chest feminization surgery, commonly called "top surgery," is to give your chest a more female-looking contour and appearance. Chest feminization surgery is typically performed as a single-stage, outpatient procedure. There are several techniques used to perform chest feminization surgery, and many factors should be taken into consideration when choosing which technique is best:

  • Desired amount of breast enlargement
  • Placement of the incisions
  • Size, shape and type of implant used (e.g., silicone vs saline)
