Just before this patient turned 30, Oklahoma City cosmetic surgeon and TOP surgery doctor, Dr. Courtney Caplin, removed the female glands to result in a masculine chest appearance. Patients in various transitioning stages from Female-to-Male (FTM) will often address their breasts as part of reassignment surgery to have a male appearance. Dr. Caplin is a seasoned surgeon in the area of transgender surgery and performed the breast removal using a bilateral mastectomy approach, which removed the breast tissue and excess skin, while repositioning and reconstructing the nipple to a natural appearance. While this surgical technique does require a longer incision, it heals nicely and eventually fades, leaving the male contour appearance our patient so desired to have. TOP surgery is becoming more prevalent as cosmetic surgery techniques continue to advance and become readily available. Our patient was extremely happy with the results and can now wear certain garments without anxiety, fear, or worry.
