What Is FTM Top Surgery?
FTM top surgery, or female-to-male top surgery, is a gender-affirming procedure that reshapes the chest to create a more traditionally masculine appearance. The surgery involves the removal of breast tissue, with techniques tailored to the individual’s body type and desired outcome. For many transgender men and nonbinary individuals, FTM top surgery is an important step in aligning their physical appearance with their gender identity, helping to reduce dysphoria and improve confidence. At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, our surgeons provide compassionate, individualized care to ensure results that look natural and support each patient’s transition goals.

How Is FTM Top Surgery Performed?
FTM top surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2 – 4 hours, depending on the technique used and the patient’s anatomy. The procedure involves removing breast tissue and reshaping the chest to create a flatter, more masculine contour. For patients with larger chests or less skin elasticity, the double incision method is often recommended, which includes repositioning or grafting the nipples for a natural appearance. Patients with smaller chests may be candidates for the periareolar or keyhole technique, which uses smaller incisions around the areola for less visible scarring. Once the chest has been reshaped, the incisions are closed with precision to ensure smooth, defined results.
What Are the Benefits of FTM Top Surgery?
FTM top surgery provides both physical and emotional benefits by creating a flatter, more masculine chest that aligns with a patient’s gender identity. Benefits include:
- Reduces or eliminates chest dysphoria
- Creates a natural, masculine chest contour
- Allows greater comfort in clothing and daily activities
- Provides more freedom in physical activity and sports
- Minimizes or eliminates the need for chest binding
- Enhances self-confidence and body image
- Supports overall gender affirmation and quality of life
FTM Top Surgery Reviews
I'd like to start off with a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Akinbiyi. I cannot begin to explain how much happier I am living within my own body, so please know that you have truly changed my life for the better.Dr. Akinbiyi performed my FTM top surgery, and I'm thrilled with the results. Everything looks perfectly natural. My scars from the procedure get fainter by the week. It's only been four months now, and it's faded to a dull pink with some light bruising around the edges. The placement of the scars follow masculine anatomy smoothly, which is exactly what i was hoping for in my final results. It's clear to me that Dr. Akinbiyi is among the best, and I'm so grateful for his work. If it's not already apparent through this review, I'm thrilled with the results and sincerely believe he is the best choice for anyone looking for a top surgeon.
