Top Surgery with Sensory Nerve Preservation
At The Practice Healthcare in Beverly Hills, serving patients from across the greater Los Angeles area, Dr. Azadgoli focuses on procedures that combine function, form, and identity. Her work in gender-affirming chest surgery reflects her belief that surgical outcomes should look and feel natural, helping patients feel fully at home in their bodies.
Gender-affirming mastectomy, often referred to as top surgery, is a procedure that removes breast tissue and reshapes the chest to create a more masculine contour. For many transgender men and non-binary individuals, this surgery represents a deeply affirming milestone, one that can bring comfort, ease, and self-assurance in daily life. The impact of top surgery is so significant that it is often the only surgical procedure pursued by transmasculine individuals.
Dr. Azadgoli performs several surgical techniques, including double incision, keyhole, peri-areolar, inverted-T, and buttonhole methods. Each approach is chosen based on the patient’s anatomy, tissue characteristics, and goals. Her attention to contouring and incision placement helps produce results that are well-defined, balanced, and natural in appearance.
Dr. Azadgoli is also among a small group of surgeons offering Sensory Nerve Preservation, also known as Targeted Nipple Reinnervation. This specialized technique reconnects nerves in the chest to the nipple graft during double incision top surgery, allowing for a faster and more reliable return of sensation, including the potential for erogenous sensitivity.
