Going off on my research about trans health medical practices, I wanted to learn more about the significant differences these procedures have between trans men and trans women. Of course the physical attributes between a man and a woman are different, but having to see how they are medically reconstructed for each corresponding sex is fascinating.
Trans men typically want to remove their breasts and in some cases, their genitalia. Usually top surgery is more adapted among trans men as it is sufficient enough to give some of them gender euphoria. However, there are some who also want to opt in on bottom surgery for the full experience. The removal of breasts can be performed with a double mastectomy, although there are many variations to go about it depending on the size of the breasts. When trans men go on testosterone, their breasts can decrease in size, but sometimes this isn’t sufficient enough for personal preferences. Typically those with bigger breasts have to do a double incision, leading to big scars on the underside of their pecs. Those with smaller breasts though have the option to do a keyhole incision or a periareolar incision, which leads to minimal and discrete scarring.
As for trans women, they want the addition of breasts. Usually, when trans women go on hormones, their breast tissue will start to grow fuller in weight. This could be sufficient enough for some trans women, but others want to emphasize it more. This could be down with top surgery and breast implants. This will be done with a double incision in order to fit the implants so there will be some significant scarring.
