Trans men frequently want to remove their
breasts in order to masculinize their chests. The operation is called
subcutaneous mastectomy because all the breast tissue is removed from under
the skin, leaving the nipple/areola. With a small breast little or no
skin has to be removed, the operation is fairly simple and results in few
external incisions and therefore minimal permanent scars. If the areolae are large they can be reduced in diameter and if nipples project excessively, the amount of projection can be reduced. With a small breast, frequently only one incision around the areola is required, resulting in an almost invisible periareolar scar. Larger and more drooping breasts require more skin removal and elevation of the nipple/areola, resulting in more and longer incisions and resulting scars. Larger breast removal usually results in an incision around the areola and another long curved incision under the areola extending across the chest horizontally as long as the width of the original breast. Larger breasts require more surgery and more time to do the surgery and so the fees for surgery, hospital, and anesthesia are higher than with smaller breasts. See the photos below of patients who have had these procedures and the price list for the various types of “top” surgery. |
