We do not require the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to maintain the results you achieve from body masculinization surgery in Jacksonville. However, HRT can enhance your appearance and make you look more masculine. We suggest talking with your PCP about hormone replacement therapy after you fully heal from your surgery.
What Is FTM Body Contouring
Feminine bodies tend to store fat in the hips, thighs, and buttocks, creating an “hourglass” figure. At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, our surgeons can remove and replace fat to create a more V-shaped, masculine figure. They can also use liposuction to define the abdominal muscles and create the classical “6-pack.”
When it comes to your body masculinization surgery in Jacksonville, our surgeons can customize your procedure to fit your specific body shape and accomplish your ideal look.
- Remove and alter fat placement for a V-shape figure
- Re-contour muscle to create a more masculine figure
What To Expect From FTM Body Contouring
Consultation
When you first walk into CSA, you’ll meet with one of our surgeons for a one-on-one consultation. They take the time to listen while you describe the changes you would like to make to your appearance. Then, they use their expertise to describe the different options you can use for your surgery. Together, you’ll create a custom surgical plan.
Anesthesia
For this procedure, we can use either IV sedation or general anesthesia. Your surgeon can talk about the details for both and help you determine the best options for you. Once you make that decision, they will talk to you about the details of your surgery, including which procedures they’ll use, what techniques they’ll use, and pre and post-care.
Procedure
We customize your body masculinization surgery in Jacksonville to your specific needs, including only the procedures you need for your transformation. For liposuction, we keep the incisions as small as possible and place them in locations that are easily concealed, like natural skin folds. Then, we redistribute that fat to parts of the upper body.
Recovery
After surgery, your surgeon will wrap your body in compression garments. This will help increase blood flow for faster healing and minimize swelling and bruising. Your surgeon will go over post-surgical instructions, including how long to wear your compression garment, scar management, when to return to the office for follow-up appointments, and more.

FTM Body Contouring FAQs
Achieving the desired ratio depends on your physical frame, but we understand that the male body is considered aesthetically pleasing when the chest is 4 to 6 times bigger than the waist.
Like HRT, we do not require upper body training for body masculinization surgery in Jacksonville, but understand that it can make your body appear more masculine. Once you completely heal from your surgery, you can train the muscles in your upper body to achieve the specific vision for your appearance.
