At Kind | Chang Plastic Surgery, we are honored to provide expert, compassionate care to transgender individuals seeking gender-affirming surgeries. We understand the profound impact these procedures can have on your life, and our dedicated team is here to support you through every step of the process. Our board-certified surgeons specialize in both Top Surgery and Phalloplasty, providing high-quality, personalized care that aligns with your unique needs and goals.
What is Top Surgery?
Top Surgery is a gender-affirming procedure that helps create a chest that aligns with your gender identity. It is most commonly performed on transgender men and non-binary individuals to achieve a flatter, more masculine chest. We also offer augmentation for transgender women to enhance and feminize the chest.
Top Surgery Options
Every individual is unique, and at Kind | Chang Plastic Surgery, we customize your top surgery approach to achieve the best results for you:
- Double Incision Mastectomy: Ideal for those with larger chests, this procedure removes breast tissue and reshapes the chest with repositioned nipple grafts.
- Periareolar (Keyhole) Surgery: A less invasive option for individuals with smaller chests, using incisions around the areola to create a flatter chest with minimal scarring.
- Chest Augmentation: For transgender women, we offer breast augmentation using implants to create the desired feminine contour and size.
Recovery and Results
Top Surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.
Full results, including chest contour and scar healing, develop over the next several months. We are committed to helping you achieve a chest that reflects your true self.
What is Phalloplasty?
Phalloplasty is a gender-affirming surgery that constructs a penis for transgender men and non-binary individuals. This highly specialized procedure can help you feel more at home in your body. Our team uses advanced surgical techniques to create a neophallus that is both aesthetically and functionally aligned with your goals.
Phalloplasty Techniques
- Radial Forearm Flap Phalloplasty (RFF): The most commonly used technique, utilizing tissue from the forearm to create the phallus. This method is preferred for its reliable outcomes in terms of sensation and appearance.
- Anterolateral Thigh Flap (ALT): This technique uses tissue from the thigh, providing an alternative option for those who prefer to avoid visible forearm scarring.
- Urethral Lengthening: This additional step allows for standing urination, which is an important goal for many patients.
- Penile Implants: For those seeking erectile function, implants can be placed in a later stage to enable sexual function.
Phalloplasty Recovery and Expectations
Phalloplasty is a complex, multi-stage procedure that takes time to complete. Our team will work closely with you throughout the journey, ensuring you have the support you need during recovery. Each stage of surgery has its own recovery timeline, and we are here to guide you every step of the way to ensure the best possible outcome.
