Male to Female (MTF) Breast Augmentation
What is Male to Female (MTF) Top Surgery?
Top surgery for trans women is a similar, though not identical, procedure to female breast enhancement. Short scars, however, can easily be used here because trans women never acquire the aged breast tissue that occurs in postpartum breasts that then need to be lifted to look better.
Before & After Gallery
Many patients don’t want their photos posted online. But they are fine having others see them in our office. You can view many more examples when you have a consultation with Dr. Lincenberg to discuss your desired outcome for your gender-affirming procedures.
Here is an example of results that can be achieved with MTF top surgery.

Transforming to a Female Chest
A trans women patient often has broader shoulders, thicker pecs and a wider ribcage, so breast implant options can be selected to span the added width of the chest. The male chest lacks breast tissue over the breastbone (sternum) and even with implants, the breasts may not achieve a close, full cleavage. Thus, we often will enhance “mother nature” by using fat grafting to tighten up the cleavage.
There are several considerations for MTF breast augmentation.
The size of the breasts is as important as the broadness of the breasts.
The position of the breasts on top of or somewhat below the pectoral muscles is as important as the amount of drooping of the breasts.
The amount of muscle bulk is as important as the fullness of the fat layer under the skin.
The right side of the ribcage is curved differently from the left side of the ribcage in most people and should be considered.
Variations exist in the size of the nipple and the size of the areola.
The elastic nature of the skin is highly variable.
Dr. Sheldon Lincenberg’s extensive experience in top surgery provides him with the knowledge to consider skin characteristics, fatty firmness, relationships of the breasts to the chest, patient desires and goals before developing a customized approach for each client.
