What is FTM top surgery and why do people opt for this surgery?
Female to male top surgery is for transgender and non-binary people. This surgery is done for the removal of the breast and chest tissues. The main goal of this surgery is to make your chest look masculine. People with smaller chest size can have their nipples and areola spared but if you have bigger busts than your nipples and areola will be taken off while surgery and after resizing it, it will be placed back into the position.
Why do people opt for this surgery?
Female to Male top surgery is a big step for the transgender men and non-binary people in the direction of fixing their gender identity. It can ease the discomfort of the people who differ from the gender identity assigned at the time of birth. It is a step towards physically belonging to the gender one thinks one belongs to.
Preparation before the surgery

- If you are undergoing hormone therapy, a blood test will be done to check the optimum amount of the testosterone hormone before the surgery.
- You have to discuss your expectations from the surgery with the doctor and the risks associated with it.
What is the Procedure of FTM surgery?
- In transmasculine surgery a procedure called mastectomy is used in which the breast tissue gets removed; this procedure is very similar to the procedure doctors recommend for treating breast cancer.
