Masculinization of the Chest in Transmen with Large Breasts

Abstract

Background and Objectives Surgery to masculinize the chest is a frequently sought-after procedure by transmen who wish to conform their physical appearance to their gender identity. In our study, the outcomes of surgical masculinization comprising subcutaneous mastectomy through a modified elliptical incision, liposuction, reduced inert nipple–areola grafting, and quilting stitches were analyzed.
