What Is Male to Female Breast Augmentation?
Male to female breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that creates feminine breast shape and chest contour using silicone implants and, in some cases, fat grafting.
Breast augmentation in trans women is different from standard breast augmentation because the male chest anatomy differs from the female chest. Important anatomical differences include:
- Wider chest wall
- Larger distance between nipple and breast fold
- Different nipple position
- More prominent upper chest
- Less natural breast tissue
For this reason, successful surgery requires careful implant selection, implant positioning, and breast fold adjustment to create natural feminine proportions.
Breast augmentation is often performed as part of gender-affirming or body feminisation surgery.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
This procedure may be suitable for patients who:
- ✓ Are undergoing male-to-female gender transition
- ✓ Want feminine breast shape and cleavage
- ✓ Have completed or are undergoing hormone therapy
- ✓ Are in good general health
- ✓ Have realistic expectations
Each treatment plan is personalised based on chest anatomy and desired breast size and shape.
