How Much Does Top Surgery Cost?

In general, the cost of FTM Top Surgery ranges from $6000–$10,000 USD. This may or may not include consultation fees, hidden fees and medical supplies.

If you plan to pay out-of-pocket for Top Surgery, knowing about the cost of the procedure and related fees will help you plan accordingly and schedule your surgery date.

The cost of Top Surgery will depend on several factors including the Surgeon you choose. Don't assume that a Surgeon who charges the highest fee is the best. Geographic location greatly influences a surgeon's fee. For example, Surgeons located in big cities where practice expenses are higher tend to charge more for their services.

The type of Top Surgery also influences cost. Typically, but not always, the Keyhole and Peri-areolar procedures are less expensive than the Double Incision method, by as much as $2000 USD.

A down payment is usually required to secure a surgery date. The amount of this down payment varies by Surgeon but usually ranges between $500–2000 and up to 50% of the total Top Surgery cost.

Don't miss:

What About Hidden Fees?

Surgeons who charge a consultation fee often credit that expense to the final cost of your surgery.

In addition to the Surgeon's fee, you'll also be paying the Anesthesiologist's fee, facility fees and potentially pathology and other medical test fees. Be sure to get clear information about the total cost of Top Surgery from the Surgeons you consult with.

You'll also incur costs for post-operative items such as a surgical compression vest, medications, scar care products and other medical supplies. If you'll be traveling to see your surgeon, you'll need to factor in costs associated with transportation (including getting to and from your pre- and post-op appointments), accommodations, parking and food.
