Gender affirmation surgery allows individuals to align their physical appearance with their true identity through plastic surgery. Pearl Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic, one of the top gender surgery centers in Bangalore, specializes in gender-affirming procedures. Our expert plastic surgeons have extensive experience in both MTF (male-to-female) and FTM (female-to-male) top surgeries, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
How Gender Affirmation Surgery Works
Gender affirmation surgery is a broad term that includes various procedures aimed at helping individuals transition from their assigned sex at birth to the gender with which they identify. At Centre for Surgery, we offer a range of procedures, ensuring each patient receives personalized, compassionate care throughout their journey.
One key procedure is top surgery, which can involve either breast augmentation or mastectomy, depending on the patient’s goals. For trans women, breast augmentation adds volume and enhances shape to create a more feminine appearance. For trans men, mastectomy removes breast tissue, resulting in a more masculine chest. These surgeries are performed with great attention to detail to ensure that the outcome aligns with the patient's gender identity, helping them feel more comfortable in their bodies.
Body contouring surgery is another option we provide, which focuses on reshaping the body to better reflect one’s gender identity. This might include procedures such as liposuction, fat grafting, or the use of body implants. For example, trans women may opt for fat grafting to accentuate feminine features such as the hips and buttocks, while trans men may undergo body contouring to achieve a more defined, V-shaped torso.
The benefits of gender affirmation surgery extend far beyond physical changes. Research has shown that these procedures often lead to improvements in mental health, reducing feelings of gender dysphoria, depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts. Patients frequently report better self-esteem, improved social functioning, and an overall higher quality of life after surgery.
However, it is essential to approach gender affirmation surgery with careful consideration. Our team at Centre for Surgery is committed to providing expert guidance and support throughout the process. We focus not only on surgical solutions but also on making sure each patient feels affirmed, respected, and understood during their unique journey.
For many, gender affirmation surgery is a life-changing milestone, representing a vital step toward self-acceptance and authenticity. At Centre for Surgery, we are proud to support our patients through this transformative process, helping them achieve a future that aligns with both their physical body and their true identity.
What is Top Surgery?
Top surgery refers to a variety of chest-related surgical procedures for transgender and non-binary individuals. The most common type is bilateral mastectomy, which involves the removal of both breasts to create a more masculine chest. This is often referred to as "top surgery."
There are several types of top surgery, including keyhole, peri-areolar, and double incision techniques. The most suitable option depends on the patient’s goals, anatomy, and individual characteristics.
Choosing to undergo top surgery is a significant decision that should be made after thorough research and consultation with both an experienced surgeon and a mental health professional. It's important to note that top surgery is not reversible, and having realistic expectations about the results is crucial.
Additionally, top surgery may not always be covered by insurance, and patients might need to pay out of pocket. It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options for gender-affirming surgeries.
MTF and FTM Top Surgery
There are two primary types of top surgery: MTF (male-to-female) top surgery and FTM (female-to-male) top surgery.
Top surgery is often performed after a period of hormone therapy, which helps to prepare the body for surgery. Additional procedures may also be done to enhance body contour and further align the patient’s appearance with their gender identity.
Benefits of Gender Affirmation Surgery
Gender affirmation surgery, also referred to as gender confirmation surgery, offers several benefits, including:
What Does Gender Affirmation Surgery Involve?
Gender affirmation surgery includes a range of procedures designed to align an individual’s physical appearance with their gender identity. Top surgery is one of the most common procedures, involving the enhancement of the chest with breast implants for MTF (male-to-female) patients, or the removal of breast tissue for FTM (female-to-male) patients. Your surgeon will go over the specific steps of the procedure during your consultation.
Gender surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep throughout the operation. It is important to be in good overall health before undergoing general anesthesia. Prior to the surgery, you will have a pre-operative assessment with our nursing team, where they will check your blood pressure and rule out any serious medical conditions.
Top surgery generally takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. After surgery, you will recover in our dedicated recovery area before being discharged the same day. A responsible adult will need to accompany you home and assist with your care during the first few days post-surgery.
