What to look for in FTM top surgery surgeons: experience, training, & technique

FTM top surgery requires specialized training and experience to perform safely and achieve an aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking result. Not every cosmetic surgeon receives training in transgender procedures, which are uniquely complex and demand a surgical skill level above and beyond traditional plastic surgery.

You’ll want to choose a cosmetic surgeon with extensive training and experience in FTM chest contouring who has a keen artistic skill and a reputation for meeting or exceeding patient expectations.

A diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Pancholi has performed thousands of breast and chest contouring procedures for patients of all ages, gender identities, and ethnicities. Additionally, he is one of Vegas’ most sought-after specialists in VASER liposuction, a hi-definition liposuction technique that allows him to sculpt the chest and body in great detail and create the subtle lines of the pectoral area that is characteristic of a masculine chest.

Options for FTM breast removal in Las Vegas, NV

Dr. Pancholi will personalize your chest surgery to achieve a result that looks naturally masculine with your unique anatomy. He is experienced in a number of techniques for FTM top surgery, including:

  • Keyhole incision: suitable for removing small natural breasts and limits scarring to the outer areola edge
  • Inverted-T or anchor FTM incision: this technique can remove larger breasts and excess skin and reshape the chest without a nipple graft.
  • Double incision technique: achieves a flat chest for patients with large or very large breasts; places the scar along the natural border of the lower pectorals.
  • VASER liposuction: For patients with small breasts and good skin contraction, Dr. Pancholi can often remove breast tissue and create a masculine chest with liposuction alone. He can also use VASER to enhance the results of top surgery by removing bra rolls, improving the definition of the pecs, or sculpting a masculine shape to the entire torso.

Having performed many hundreds of breast revision procedures, Dr. Pancholi has the experience, knowledge, and tools to achieve dramatic improvements even for more challenging cases.

Candidates for female to male top surgery

The best candidates for FTM top surgery are individuals who are at least 18 years old, in good overall health, and fully committed to their transformation. It’s also important to have realistic expectations. While Dr. Pancholi takes care to minimize incisions, some scarring may be visible when you go bare-chested. Additionally, you will likely lose some or all nipple sensations after the procedure, depending on the technique needed to complete your procedure.

Tell Dr. Pancholi if you are currently taking hormones or plan to in the future. Male hormones will often change the size and shape of the existing breasts and may affect what surgical approach is most appropriate for you. Additionally, it is essential to disclose all hormones and other medications you are taking. For your safety, you may be required to stop hormone therapy temporarily before and after surgery.

  • Aligns physical appearance with gender identity during their gender transition.
  • Eliminates the need for binding and provides lasting physical comfort.
  • Can significantly boost self-esteem, confidence, and overall mental well-being.
  • Expands wardrobe choices, allowing individuals to wear clothing without the need for binding or concealing garments.
  • Can be an empowering decision for many, symbolizing control over one’s body and identity.

“When we see a patient that is interested in female-to-male transformation or gender-confirming surgery, it is something where we really want to find out what their goals are. Some people want to have a flat chest with nothing else. Other people are completely concerned with the scars. Some want to look extremely masculine, while others do not want those types of indicators. So, one of the things that we want to do is to make sure that we hear them and we’re doing what they want. All of those are possibilities, but really, what our goal is, is to deliver the right thing for the right person.

Male-to-female gender-confirming surgery is also a very rewarding procedure for both our patients and myself. We use a very similar type of approach as far as finding out what the patient wants, whether it’s implants or fat grafting. We also want to look at size and their overall goals in the procedure. One of the things that we find is every person is different, and every person has something different in what their goals are. Stereotypes are out the window, and this is a very personalized matter that we want to make sure that we achieve the right goal for them.”–Dr. Samir Pancholi
