Transgender Breast Augmentation Surgery Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Q will examine your anatomy.  If your chest is very flat, you may require saline implants because these devices allow the skin to be stretched-out, and help “expand” the breast envelope better.  If you have very thick or broad pectoralis muscles, then Dr. Q may recommend your implants be placed “above the muscle” in order to allow more expansion of the breast skin and allow a fuller and prettier, rounder shape.  Only in extremely thin patients, the implants may need to be placed “under the muscle” or in the “dual-plane”- which is partially under the muscle for the upper portion of the implant and below the skin for the lower portion of the implant.  Typically, an inframammary incision is best to allow for placement of a fuller implant, as well as avoid bacterial contamination that can occur with peri-areolar incisions- also there is less risk of nipple numbness after surgery. For patients that have a fair amount of their own native breast tissue or a looser skin-envelope, then it may be possible to place silicone gel implants.  Dr. Q will ensure the proper type, sizing and positioning of implants with you during your consultation and all your questions will be answered!
