Top surgery: Difference between revisions

'''Top surgery''' is a phrase used in the [[transgender]] community to mean a variety of kinds of gender-validating [[surgery|surgeries]] that can be done on the chest or breasts. This is as opposed to [[bottom surgery]], which is any kind of gender-validating done on the reproductive organs or genitals.

* '''Shape:''' the shape of the implant can be round or like a teardrop. Round implants are the most popular choice, because they are symmetrical and rotation is not a problem. However, teardrop implants can give a more natural look.

* '''Incision location:''' there are three ways to insert an implant: through a periareolar incision around your areola, an inframammary incision just below your chest muscle or a transaxillary incision through your armpit. With silicone implants, an inframammary incision is normally the best choice, as they are inserted fully inflated. With a saltwater implant there are more possible choices.
