Transgender Breast Augmentation

Transgender breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves placing breast implants to create a fuller, more traditionally feminine chest contour. It is commonly sought by transgender women (MTF) or gender-diverse individuals who wish to enhance their chest appearance as part of their gender transition or affirmation.

Whether you’ve developed some breast tissue through hormone therapy or are seeking surgery without it, MTF breast augmentation is adaptable to your goals and your body.

You may be a good candidate for transgender breast augmentation if:

• You are assigned male at birth and desire a fuller, feminine chest appearance.
• You are in good physical and mental health.
• You have realistic expectations and are emotionally prepared for surgery.
• You may or may not be undergoing hormone therapy—both options are valid, and the procedure can be adjusted accordingly.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your goals, current chest structure, and health status to determine your suitability.

Every body is different, and we offer a range of implant choices to suit your personal preferences:

• Silicone implants in various sizes and profiles.
• Round or teardrop-shaped implants for different aesthetic outcomes.
• Placement above or below the chest muscle, depending on your chest anatomy and goals.
• Discreet incision options for minimal visible scarring.

Your surgeon will work closely with you to design a customised plan that reflects your desired results while respecting your body’s uniqueness.

Here’s what you can expect during your breast augmentation journey:

Consultation and Planning
You’ll meet with one of our experienced surgeons to discuss your goals, assess your anatomy, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Preoperative Preparation
We’ll guide you through medical evaluations and preparation steps to ensure you’re ready for surgery.

Surgery Day
The procedure typically lasts 1–2 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will make a small incision, place the implants, and carefully close the area.

Post-operative Care
After surgery, you’ll be monitored and supported in a safe, comfortable environment before returning home the same day.

Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to light activities within a week. Here’s what to expect:

• Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the first few days.
• A post-surgical bra is usually worn for several weeks.
• You’ll be advised to avoid strenuous activity and lifting during recovery.
• Regular follow-up appointments help us ensure smooth healing and address any concerns.

Our team is here to support you through every stage of your recovery.

While results are visible soon after surgery, it can take a few months for implants to settle into their final position. You’ll see gradual improvement in shape and symmetry over time, and many patients report increased body confidence and emotional satisfaction after the procedure.

As with any surgery, there are some risks to be aware of, including:

• Temporary swelling or bruising
• Implant-related complications
• Changes in sensation or mild asymmetry

At Manchester Private Hospital, we take every precaution to reduce these risks. Choosing a skilled, experienced surgeon is the most important step in ensuring safe and satisfying outcomes.
