Transgender Breast Implants
Transgender Breast Implants
Transgender Breast Implants, also referred to as male-to-female (MTF) breast augmentation, which is a procedure many transgender women opt for as part of their transition. The surgical procedure involves enhancing the size and shape of the patient's breasts via the insertion of implants. It's performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours to complete, with the precise techniques and approaches varying depending on the individual's existing chest structure, aesthetic goals, and the discretion of the surgeon. The most common techniques include the inframammary (crease beneath the breast) method, the periareolar (edge of the nipple) method, transaxillary (armpit incision) method, or the transumbilical (belly button incision) method to insert the implants.
Post-procedure, the patient usually needs about 1-2 weeks to recover, with most people resuming their regular activities within a few days. As with all major surgeries, there could be potential complications like infection, bleeding, or capsular contracture, so follow-ups with the surgeon are crucial. The results from this surgery are generally immediately visible and become more apparent over time as the surgical swelling goes down and the breast tissues heal. The selection of the implant size and type should be a collaborative decision between the patient and the surgeon, taking into consideration the patient's body frame, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
