Embarking on a journey towards gender affirmation is a life-changing decision, and at Pearl Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic, we fully understand the profound impact this step can have. Our dedicated team of expert plastic surgeons and compassionate support staff are committed to guiding you through every phase of the process with care and respect.
We specialize in keyhole top surgery, a type of FTM top surgery designed to help transgender men and non-binary individuals achieve a chest appearance that aligns with their gender identity. This less invasive approach, compared to the traditional double incision mastectomy, results in minimal scarring and quicker recovery times, while still delivering exceptional, natural-looking results.
At Pearl Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic, our surgeons have extensive experience in performing keyhole top surgeries. Committed to delivering personalized, high-quality care, they tailor each procedure to meet the unique needs of every individual. Combining technical expertise with a profound understanding of the transformative impact of gender confirmation surgery, our surgeons work closely with patients to help them achieve their desired outcomes with precision and care.
What is Keyhole Top Surgery?
Keyhole top surgery, also referred to as periareolar top surgery or keyhole mastectomy, is a specialized gender-affirming procedure aimed at creating a more masculine chest contour. This minimally invasive technique is ideal for patients with smaller chest sizes. Performed as an outpatient procedure, keyhole top surgery typically takes about two hours, from the initial incision to post-operative care, offering a streamlined yet effective approach to chest masculinization.
The keyhole technique for top surgery involves making a small incision along the border of the areola. Through this carefully crafted opening, breast tissue is removed, resulting in a flatter chest that aligns with the patient’s gender identity.
A notable advantage of keyhole top surgery is the potential to preserve natural nipple sensitivity, as the areola and nipple stalk are left intact. Depending on the patient’s individual needs and the surgeon’s assessment, the size of the nipples may or may not be adjusted during the procedure.
Keyhole mastectomy offers a quicker recovery time with minimal scarring. The incision, typically half the length of the areola’s border, is often barely noticeable after healing. Additionally, because this technique doesn’t require grafting, the risk of additional scarring is minimized.
One limitation of this procedure is that it doesn't remove the inframammary fold (IMF), the natural crease below the breast, making it better suited for patients with smaller chests and good skin elasticity.
Before deciding on keyhole top surgery, it's important to consult with a qualified surgeon to ensure it's the right option for you. At Pearl Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic, our experienced team is dedicated to guiding you through this decision, offering personalized care and support throughout your transformative journey.

From entering his office and working with his kind assistant, to the cleanliness and order of his treatment room, all the way to the check out process – his office and professionalism is second to none. As for the care he provides I truly appreciated his approach of treating me as a whole, not a collection of potential disparate problems.
