Understanding FTM Top Surgery

• Female-to-Male(FTM) Top Surgery, is a
  gender-confirming surgical procedure that
  involves the removal of the female breasts (also
  known as mastectomy) and shaping of a
  masculinized chest, often sought by transgender
  men binary as well as the non-binary individuals
  assigned female at birth who wish to align their
  physical appearance with their gender identity.
• The intention behind FTM top surgery isnt purely
  aesthetic. Its about affirming ones identity
  and living a life that aligns with who they
  indeed are. The surgery can significantly enhance
  the individuals psychological well-being and
  quality of life, reduce or eliminate gender
  dysphoria, and improve body image and
  self-esteem.
• Before committing, its crucial to understand
  what it entails, including its risks, benefits,
  and the commitment required for a successful
  recovery.

The Medical Process Explained
FTM Top Surgery primarily involves Double
Incision Mastectomy and Keyhole Top Surgery.

• Double Incision Mastectomy involves
• making two horizontal incisions along the chests
  contour,
• removing breast tissue, and
• repositioning and resizing  the nipples to the
  typical masculine position.
• This is typically suitable for individuals with
  larger breasts or excess skin.

• Keyhole Top Surgery involves
• making a small incision along the lower edge of
  the areola
• the breast tissue is removed
• This technique suits individuals with smaller
  breasts and good skin elasticity, leaving minimal
  scarring.

The Emotional Journey

• The journey to FTM Top Surgery is physical and
  deeply emotional. It often starts with
  self-realization and acceptance of ones gender
  identity. Acknowledging ones gender dysphoria
  and deciding to undergo a life-changing surgery
  is a significant step.
• For many, the path to surgery is marked by
  anticipation, impatience, fear, and excitement. A
  mix of these emotions leads up to the procedure,
  but once the decision is made, it often brings a
  sense of relief and hope.
• The post-surgery period, too, can be an emotional
  roller coaster. The joy of seeing a chest that
  aligns with ones gender identity may be mixed
  with the temporary discomfort from the healing
  process. Remember, having these feelings is okay,
  and its essential to have a support system in
  place trusted friends, family, or support
  groups.
• As with any surgical process, patience is vital.
  The top surgery results will gradually refine and
  improve over several months, leading to the final
  result that reflects the persons true self.

The Recovery and Aftercare

• The recovery process after FTM Top Surgery is as
  crucial as the surgery. Proper care post-surgery
  ensures not only a smooth recovery but also
  optimum results.
• Post-surgery, patients usually spend a few hours
  in the recovery room under medical supervision
  before discharge. Initial healing typically
  occurs within 2-3 weeks, while complete recovery
  can take several weeks to months.
• During the recovery period, patients may be
  advised to wear a medical compression vest to
  support the healing tissues and reduce swelling.
  Regular follow-ups to monitor the healing
  progress and address any complications if they
  arise.
• Importantly, taking care of mental health is
  crucial during recovery. The emotional adjustment
  to the new body shape can take time, and
  psychological support can significantly help
  during this period.
