Female to male gender reassignment breast surgery involves making a cut (incision) across the breast to remove all the glandular tissue, fat and skin. The nipples are reduced in size and reapplied in a masculine position as grafts. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia (you will sleep through it) and will take 2-4 hours.
Male to female gender reassignment breast surgery involves a breast augmentation using a silicone implant. An incision is made in the breast fold for implant access. The implant is inserted under chest skin and muscle. The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and will take 2 hours.
