Creating a Chest That Feels Authentic and Empowering
Top surgery is a transformative procedure that removes breast tissue and sculpts a more traditionally masculine chest contour. For many transgender men and nonbinary individuals, this surgery represents an essential step toward living authentically.
Research conducted by Dr. Ives and colleagues at the University of Michigan followed 70 patients who underwent gender-affirming top surgery and found remarkable improvements just six months after surgery. Depression and anxiety levels dropped significantly, while body image, social confidence, and comfort in intimate relationships all improved. Most participants reported being extremely satisfied with their results, showing that top surgery can have a powerful and positive impact on both physical appearance and overall mental health and well-being.
Dr. Ives uses several surgical approaches to top surgery to achieve natural, balanced results that suit your anatomy and goals. Each technique is customized to optimize chest shape, nipple placement, and scarring for a result that looks and feels right for you.
