FTM Top Surgery Techniques
There are different techniques used for chest masculinization, depending on factors like chest size, skin elasticity, and desired results.
- Double Incision with Nipple Grafting: Best for larger chests or those with less skin elasticity. This method removes excess skin and repositions the nipples as grafts.
- Buttonhole Technique: A variation of double incision that preserves nipple sensation when possible.
- Vaser liposuction: for those with a small amount soft/fatty breast tissue, minimal breast drooping, and excellent tissue quality (No stretch marks).
Dr. Pancholi will recommend the best technique for your body and desired outcome.
Video Transcript
“We can help augment the size of the breast after we take the implants out, and often, we do that with fat transfer. That means we liposuction a certain area of the body and take that fat to transfer it to the breast to create a fuller or at least more voluminous breast.
Other reasons that people are taking their implants out can be that they are experiencing some level of symptomatology from their implants. This is something people call breast implant illness, and I believe it exists. I think there is a certain set of symptoms that continue to show up, and when the implants are removed, people seem to improve significantly from this.
Now, the caveat to this is that there is not a test that we can use to diagnose this. It’s not like you can take a test that will tell you definitively if you have breast implant illness. These are essentially diagnoses that are made when we haven’t been able to find another reason for the symptoms, and when we take the implants out, and people get better, this is what’s referred to as breast implant illness, or at least how we can diagnose or attribute it.”–Dr. Samir Pancholi
Whenever indicated, he will remove breast implants en bloc, which means he removes the scar tissue (capsule) and implant in one piece, with the implant still sealed inside. This ensures that all old breast implant matter is removed during surgery before a new implant is placed.
In many cases, he will incorporate Strattice Tissue Matrix to add coverage and support to weakened or thin breast tissues.
