What is top surgery?

Female to Male transexual chest surgery. The reduction or removal of the female breast tissue to create a male-appearing chest. Depending on the original size, this surgery may be done through simple liposuction, minimally invasive keyhole incision, or double incision mastectomy, with or without nipple grafting.

I started my physical transition from female to male with testosterone injections in 2000, but was unable to have my top surgery until five years later.

Top surgery - what is it?

Surgery that alters the size of the chest for gender-affirming purposes. While this can be used for procedures that either reduce or increase breast tissue, it more commonly refers to FTM/FTN procedures. In this case, a commonly desired result is to have a more masculine-appearing chest. There are several forms of surgery that can achieve this. You do not have to be a specific gender to have top surgery.

My friend Aspen just got top surgery. They can't wait until they're fully healed.
