Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

What is Transgender Breast Augmentation?

Transgender breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves the use of breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts for individuals who identify as transgender. This procedure is also known as male-to-female breast augmentation.

The process of transgender breast augmentation has unique considerations, as transgender patients have tighter breast tissue than cisgender women, which may require staged augmentation with smaller implants. Tissue expanders may be used to prepare the area for a larger, permanent implant. Fat grafting is also a natural solution for breast augmentation.

*”Cisgender” refers to an individual whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth.

Procedure

Generally, the surgery takes around 1 to 3 hours to complete. However, this may vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the extent of breast enlargement desired.

Recovery

The complete recovery period varies from patient to patient, but typically takes around 4-6 weeks for most individuals. However, it may take up to several months for the swelling to completely subside.

Anesthesia

The patient will typically require a general anesthesia during the procedure, and will need to remain in the hospital for a few hours after the surgery to recover from the anesthesia.
