Gender Affirming Top Surgery Preparation

Four weeks prior to the procedure, our Atlanta Gender-Affirming Top Surgery patients will be advised to avoid smoking, drinking, anti-inflammatory drugs or herbs, and eating an unhealthy diet. If applicable, you should shave your chest the day before your procedure. Dr. Santosa will administer a general anesthetic that puts you into light sedation before numbing the areas where incisions will be made. Once numb and asleep, Dr. Santosa will begin making incisions for your Gender Mastectomy or Augmentation. During a Gender Mastectomy, the breast tissue will be removed and manipulated until it lays almost completely flat across the chest. During a Gender Augmentation, Dr. Santosa will use the incisions to slip a breast implant under the skin, creating a more womanly appearance. Once your desired complexion is achieved, Dr. Santosa will close your incisions, clean you up, and wake you.
