WHAT IS TOP SURGERY?
Top surgery is a gender affirming surgery that alters characteristics of the chest, allowing for a more masculine appearance. Through unique surgical techniques, typically all of the breast tissue will be removed from both breasts (complete mastectomy).
While the procedure is different for everyone, it’s also important to consider nipple resizing or repositioning.
