Transgender Breast Augmentation is a method for all Transgirls on their journey to reclaim their desired appearance. This method brings a full and attractive V1 and has successfully gained the attention of those who are in the process of “finding themselves”.
What is Transgender Breast Augmentation?
The chest is an important part that clearly shows the figure of a woman. For those who wish to transition from male to female, intervening to change the chest area is an indispensable step. After breast augmentation, transgender people will be able to possess a full V1 like girls.
With the strong development of the aesthetic field, many advanced techniques have been born and are increasingly widely recognized globally. Therefore, not only abroad but also in Vietnam, this method is increasingly known for its absolute safety and outstanding aesthetic effectiveness.
What are the difficulties of Transgender Breast Augmentation?
Although the aesthetic field is still developing rapidly, at the same time, Transgender Breast Augmentation still faces some obstacles.
Breast augmentation surgery for transgender people is highly difficult and more complex than breast augmentation for cisgender women. This is because the skin structure of the male chest area is thin, the muscles are quite tight, and there is no mammary gland. Therefore, this method requires the performing doctor to have truly high expertise to carefully calculate the plan and breast augmentation regimen to bring good results – and ensure no bad scars are left after surgery.
The difference between breast augmentation for women and breast augmentation for transgender people
Many of you will surely wonder, is there a difference between breast augmentation for women and Transgender Breast Augmentation? However, in fact, the body structure between men and women is completely different, which is why, although the applied method is similar, in terms of technique, Transgender Breast Augmentation still has differences such as:
- Transgender people have firm chest muscles with a lot of muscle and flesh, thin areola, no mammary glands, cartilage tissue, and a generally flat chest. Therefore, adjusting the chest shape beforehand and choosing the appropriate breast implants is important.
- The incision during the surgery will be longer than for breast augmentation in women. The reason is that transgender people do not have breasts.
- Because there is no mammary gland to support, the fixation process during breast augmentation is quite complex.
How is Transgender Breast Augmentation Performed?
Regarding the procedure, Transgender Breast Augmentation does not have many differences compared to regular breast augmentation. However, the surgical process will involve more complex techniques. Therefore, for these cases, the doctor will develop a treatment plan earlier than expected.
Step 1: Examination and consultation
Customers who want Transgender Breast Augmentation need to have their current breast shape examined about 2 months in advance. The doctor will check, listen to their wishes, and suggest a suitable breast size. Then comes the step of choosing the technology to develop an appropriate plan.
Step 2: Pre-operative health check
In this step, the doctor will check the customer’s health status, and you will also need to provide information related to medical conditions or declare any medication use (if any).
Step 3: Marking the breast shape and general anesthesia for surgery
After determining that the customer’s health condition meets the requirements for surgery, the doctor will mark the breast shape that is suitable for the previously planned proportions.
For Transgender Breast Augmentation, the customer will undergo general anesthesia before the surgery.
Step 4: Performing surgery for transgender people
For this method, the doctor will use endoscopic technology to perform the surgery, dissect the skin, and insert the implant material inside. After that, the doctor will adjust, shape, and fix the breasts to make them suitable.
For this method, the doctor also combines nipple reshaping to pinken the chest skin area to ensure aesthetics.
Step 5: Post-operative care
After the surgery, the customer will be transferred to the post-operative care room to monitor their reaction to the implant material and their health status. This is also a sensitive time because the breasts are very prone to contracture reactions, so special attention is needed.
Step 6: The doctor provides instructions for home care and schedules regular follow-up appointments.
What type of breast implants is suitable for transgender people?
Due to the significantly different chest structure compared to cisgender women, with the characteristics that Gangwhoo has shared above, breast augmentation for transgender people requires soft and flexible implants that are easy to insert. Currently, some implant materials that are prioritized for this case include: Motiva Nano implants (USA); Mentor breast implants (USA), etc.
How long does transgender breast surgery take to heal?
Similar to regular breast augmentation surgeries, after the surgery, transgender people will need a period of 1-3 months for the chest area to stabilize as normal. Depending on each person’s physical condition, the recovery time will vary.
- First 10 days after surgery: You need to wear a compression bra and combine it with pain medication.
- 1 month after surgery: At this time, there will be a slight feeling of tightness, but the implants have gradually shown signs of compatibility with the breast tissue.
- 2-4 months after surgery: The breast shape has gradually stabilized, you need to combine wearing a medical bra as directed by the doctor.
- From 5-6 months onwards: Your V1 has almost completely stabilized in shape. At this point, you can completely go back to wearing a regular bra.
Things to note when undergoing breast augmentation for transgender people
With the specificity of a major surgery that requires many complex factors, there are many things that customers need to keep in mind before deciding to undergo Transgender Breast Augmentation. However, first of all, you need to focus on the following 2 main issues:
Choosing a reputable breast augmentation address
Currently, there are many aesthetic units specializing in applying breast augmentation methods. However, not every address can fully meet the conditions for performing Transgender Breast Augmentation. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to the following issues:
- Choose a reputable aesthetic unit that is recognized by the Ministry of Health and has a medical system that meets strict criteria for customer health.
- Modern technological equipment system and examination environment that meet international standards.
- A place that gathers doctors with high expertise, academic qualifications, and who have ensured to have a practicing license in cosmetic surgery.
- Cosmetic hospitals that are highly appreciated by many customers for their effectiveness.
- Has a good care regime and ensures comfort for customers during the post-operative period.
Precautions before surgery
- About 2-3 weeks or ideally 1 month before breast augmentation surgery, transgender customers will be instructed to stop hormone injections and stop using functional foods that stimulate increased hormones to ensure the customer’s health and psychological conditions and prevent complications.
- Stop using drugs and pharmaceuticals containing ingredients including: Aspirin, Heparin, Paracetamol, etc.
- Keep your spirits up and avoid negative emotions that affect your psychology.
Post-operative care regimen for breast augmentation
Regardless of the method, after surgery, customers need to undergo a careful care process to avoid cases that affect their health. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- After removing the bandages, you need to wear a compression bra 24/7 for the prescribed time after surgery. If wearing a bra, prioritize choosing close-fitting bras with thin underwires and thick push-up padding.
- Do not let the chest area come into contact with water for the first 2 days after surgery. You can clean it by gently wiping this skin area with a damp cloth.
- Limit movement and strong touching of the breasts. Avoid heavy work or vigorous exercise to prevent the chest area from deforming after augmentation.
- Avoid foods made from ingredients including: Beef, chicken, salmon, sticky rice, water spinach, etc.
- Avoid unhealthy drinks such as alcohol, beer, coffee, and do not smoke.
- Only use medications prescribed by your doctor, do not buy over-the-counter medications without the doctor’s approval.
- Do not lie on your stomach when sleeping, and abstain from intercourse for about the first 2 months after breast augmentation.
- From the 2nd month onwards, you should combine breast massage to create roundness and an attractive cleavage.
