Understanding Chest Enhancement (MTF Top Surgery)
Chest Enhancement, or MTF Top Surgery, involves the augmentation of breast tissue to create a more feminine chest. This procedure is an essential step for many transgender women and non-binary individuals in their transition journey. Dr. Ghaznavi offers various techniques, including breast implants, tailored to meet the unique needs and desired outcomes of each patient.
Techniques for Chest Enhancement
Breast Implants
The most common method for chest enhancement involves the placement of breast implants. These can be saline or silicone implants, and the choice depends on the patient’s preferences and anatomical considerations.
Fat Transfer Augmentation
For a more natural look and feel, fat transfer augmentation uses the patient’s own fat, harvested from other areas of the body, and injects it into the breasts to enhance volume and shape.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
