Transgender breast augmentation is a method for all male-to-female or non-binary patients in the journey to gain their desired appearance. This surgery brings a full and attractive bust and successfully receives the attention of those who are in the process of “finding themselves”.
What is transgender breast augmentation?
The chest area is considered the most important part of a woman’s body. For those who are wishing to transition from male to female, the intervention to change the chest is an indispensable step. After transgender breast augmentation, they will be able to own a full bust like girls.
With the development of the aesthetics industry, many advanced techniques have been invented and are widely recognized globally and domestically. Therefore, not only in foreign countries but also in Vietnam, this method is also known by many people for its absolute safety and outstanding aesthetic effect.
What are the challenges for transgender breast augmentation?
Although the field of cosmetology is still on the rise, at the same time, transgender breast augmentation still faces certain obstacles.
Transgender breast augmentation is more complicated than normal female breast augmentation. Due to the thin skin structure in the male chest area, the muscles are quite tight and there are no mammary glands. Therefore, this method requires the surgeon to have a high level of expertise to carefully calculate the surgical plan and regimen to bring the best result and ensure that no bad scars are left after the surgery.
The difference between transgender breast augmentation and traditional one
Surely many of you will wonder, whether there is any difference between breast augmentation for women and transgender breast augmentation. The body structure between men and women is completely different, so even though the methods are similar, there are still differences in the technical aspects:
- Patients of transgender breast augmentation usually have strong and tight chest muscles, thin skin, no mammary glands, cartilage tissue, and flat breasts overall. Therefore, it is important to adjust the breast shape anteriorly and choose the right breast implant.
- Incisions during surgery will be longer than breast augmentation for women. The reason is that the patients do not have breasts.
- Because there is no supporting mammary gland, the fixation process during breast augmentation is quite complicated.
How is transgender breast augmentation performed?
Regarding the procedure, transgender breast augmentation is not much different from conventional breast augmentation. However, during the surgery, there will be more complicated techniques used. Therefore, for these customers, the doctor will plan the regimen earlier than usual.
Step 1: Consultation and Examination
Customers wishing to have a transgender breast augmentation should conduct a breast exam about 2 months in advance. The doctor will examine as well as examine and recommend the appropriate breast implant size. Then there is the step of choosing a surgical technology and designing a suitable plan.
Step 2: Pre-surgery health check
At this step, the doctor will check the client’s current health status, and they will have to provide information related to the medical condition or declare the current usage of medication (if any).
Step 3: Measure chest shape and general anesthesia
After determining whether the patient’s condition is eligible for surgery. The doctor will measure and draw the breast shape by the pre-planned proportions.
For transgender breast augmentation, customers will be given general anesthesia before surgery
Step 4: Perform the surgery
For this surgery, the doctor will use laparoscopic technology to conduct the surgery, open the skin, and put the filler material inside. Then, the doctor will align, shape and fix the breasts accordingly.
For this method, the doctor also combines breast shaping to make the breast skin pink to ensure aesthetics.
Step 5: Post-operative care
After finishing the surgery, the customer will be transferred to the post-operative care room to monitor the response to the filler material and health status. This is also a sensitive time because the chest is very susceptible to contraction reactions, so it needs special attention.
What type of implants is suitable for transgender breast augmentation?
Because the structure of the chest area is far different from that of women, transgender breast augmentation requires a type of implant that is flexible and easy to put inside. Currently, some of the preferred filler materials for this case include Nano Motiva Implant (USA); Mentor Implant (USA),…
How long does it take to recover from transgender breast augmentation?
Similar to normal breast augmentation, after surgery, patients will need 1-3 months for the chest area to stabilize as normal. Recovery time will vary from person to person.
- The first 10 days after surgery: You need to wear a shaping bra and take pain relievers.
- 1 month after surgery: At this time, there will be a slight feeling of tightness, but the implant has gradually shown signs of compatibility with the breast tissue.
- 2-4 months after surgery: The breast shape has gradually stabilized, you need to wear a medical bra as prescribed by the doctor.
- From 5-6 months later: Your breasts are mostly settled into form. You can now go back to wearing your bra as usual.
