Top Surgery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dr. Aneesh Gupta, MD, MPH is a quadruple board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Philadelphia who is pleased to provide gender-affirming care for his transgender and non-binary patients. Dr. Gupta completed cosmetic surgery fellowship training at the renowned Marvel Cosmetic Surgery in Nashville and is board-certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS).

Dr. Gupta is skilled with Top Surgery and mostly uses the Double Incision method with nipple grafts. This form of Top Surgery is the most commonly-used technique and is ideal for those who have a medium to large sized chest.

During the Double Incision procedure, two horizontal incisions are made at the top and bottom of the pectoral muscle and the breast tissue is removed. Liposuction may be used to shape a masculine chest contour. If nipple grafting is being performed, the nipple-areola complex is removed, re-sized and grafted on to the chest.

Double Incision Top Surgery is an outpatient surgery done under general anesthesia that lasts 3-4 hours. After surgery, most patients are left with two medical drains that collect excess blood and lymphatic fluid. These drains are left in for about a week.

Healing times vary, but many most patients find that they can return to desk jobs and light work after two weeks. There should be absolutely no heavy lifting, lifting arms over your head or weight training for 6-8 weeks.

Dr. Gupta operates at PA Surgery Group Cosmetic Surgery’s state-of-the-art surgery center. The facility is over 10,000 square feet and features a fully equipped operating room.

The staff mirrors this same level of attentiveness and kindness, making the entire experience smooth, comfortable, and reassuring. I am beyond grateful for the outstanding care I received and would confidently recommend Dr. Gupta to anyone seeking top-tier expertise paired with compassionate service."

"I had top surgery a week ago with Dr. Gupta. This was probably the best experience I've had when it comes to people in the medical field. Dr. Gupta is very committed to helping people feel comfortable in their bodies. He was very conscious of my struggle that I have been experiencing with my body and was very passionate and eager to help me get the body I have longed for. I am only a week out and my results are already amazing, I have hardly any pain just minor discomfort. If you're looking for a top surgeon who genuinely cares and wants to help in your experience I highly recommend Dr. Gupta and his team. "
