Whether or not MTF top surgery will affect your eligibility for future breast augmentation depends on the type of MTF top surgery you have and the surgeon you choose.

If you have double incision top surgery, which is the most common type of MTF top surgery, you may be able to have breast augmentation in the future. However, you may need to have a different type of breast augmentation than someone who has not had MTF top surgery. For example, you may need to have fat grafting instead of implants.

If you have peri areolar top surgery, which is a less invasive type of MTF top surgery, you may be more likely to be able to have breast augmentation in the future. This is because peri areolar top surgery does not remove as much breast tissue as double incision top surgery.

It is important to talk to your surgeon about your plans for future breast augmentation before you have MTF top surgery. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action for you.

Here are some things to keep in mind if you are considering MTF top surgery and you are interested in future breast augmentation:

  • You may need to have a different type of breast augmentation than someone who has not had MTF top surgery.
  • You may need to wait a certain amount of time after MTF top surgery before you can have breast augmentation.
  • You may need to have more than one surgery to achieve the results you want.

If you are concerned about MTF top surgery and future breast augmentation, be sure to talk to your surgeon. They will be able to answer any questions you have and help you understand what to expect.

MTF top surgery may impact your eligibility for future breast augmentation, depending on the specific surgical technique used and the amount of breast tissue remaining after the initial surgery. It’s important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who specializes in both MTF top surgery and breast augmentation to assess your individual circumstances. They will evaluate factors such as the amount of breast tissue available, chest contour, and your desired aesthetic outcomes. Here are some considerations:

  1. Surgical Technique: The surgical technique used in MTF top surgery can vary, with options such as double incision, periareolar, or keyhole. Each technique has its own impact on breast tissue removal, preservation, and reshaping. The choice of technique will depend on your existing breast anatomy, desired outcomes, and surgeon’s expertise.
  2. Breast Tissue Availability: The amount of breast tissue remaining after MTF top surgery can influence future breast augmentation. If a significant amount of breast tissue is removed during MTF top surgery, it may limit the options for breast augmentation. However, if sufficient breast tissue is preserved, it may be possible to proceed with breast augmentation at a later time.
  3. Scar Placement: The location and extent of scars from MTF top surgery may impact future breast augmentation procedures. Your surgeon will consider the placement and appearance of scars to optimize the outcome of any subsequent breast augmentation procedure.
  4. Consultation with a Plastic Surgeon: It is advisable to consult with a plastic surgeon who has experience in both MTF top surgery and breast augmentation. They can evaluate your individual case, assess the available breast tissue, discuss your desired outcomes, and provide recommendations regarding the feasibility of future breast augmentation.

It’s important to have realistic expectations and to discuss your goals and desires for future breast augmentation with your surgeon during the initial consultation for MTF top surgery. They can help you understand the potential impact of MTF top surgery on future options and guide you in making informed decisions that align with your desired aesthetic goals.
